Jiko Dress Code

[JikoMarie]

I heard that you are supposed to dress nicely when dining at Jiko. We were planning to go there after spending the day at Animal Kingdom and probably wouldn't look all that nice if we showed up there for dinner. Could someone clarify what the dress code is?

The dress code at Jiko is Business Casual, although Disney's idea of business casual isn't really that bad. You just can't wear T-shirts, flip flops, hats or tank tops.

For the most part people are sticking to this, but I have seen some who were not reminded and asked to change and then others escorted to out of the way tables.

I guess as long as you don't look like a bum you will be fine. :wave:

How does a sun dress fit into this?

That would be fine as long as the important parts are covered. :lookaroun
Not sure about a halter or tiny spaghetti straps (I think those are a no-no).

These seem like strict rules to me. I can understand wanting to create a certain kind of atmosphere but even my very respectful dressy dresses have spaghetti straps and I certainly have dress clothes that might be considered tank tops. It's going to be in the heat of August. I'm certainly not wearing a suit.

Wear your dress and take a very light sweater (I have a lacy one) that covers the straps. You may need something anyway in the a/c.

We've decided to eat at Boma instead.

A very nice choice. We ate there last month for the first time and we are planning to make it a regular stop.

Jiko is awesome. We really enjoyed it when we went. The spaghetti straps on a dress would be fine. They just don't want men wearing sleeveless tops.

Dang...and I had planned to wear my favorite tube top in October when we went. :lookaroun
