If you haven't been to Raglan Road in Downtown Disney you are seriously missing out. This is one of my favorite non-Disney-Disneyesk restaurants on property. My Nana's maiden name was Cahill and my mothers Moran and let me tell you, the food made here is like nothing I have ever savored. I truely believe Raglan Road brings a different atmosphere to the traditional Irish Pub. Although there are some familiar aspects. For instance, the exterior of the building...this says pub to me with the brick and the bold, gold sign lettering and my favorite the lantern looking lights on the corners.
With the exception of one time where we had a larger party, we like to sit in the bar area. I love the coasters they hand out. It's always nice to know how to answer the question "Where are your children?"
I am not completely sold on Irish Hard Cider but Magner's isn't unbearable. I truthfully am just not in love with the flavor. It has hints that don't necessary appeal to me the way English Hard Cider (ex: Strongbow).
That being said,
Welcome to Irish Meat Fest "Enter Year Here".
Ladies and Gentleman, let me introduce you to the Appetizer D'Lirrah for Two - it includes their Dalkey Duo, Scallop Forest (not pictured), Heaven on Earth, and Drunk Chicken Skewers (not pictured) for around $27 (From AllEars.net) Deep fried sausage, baby back ribs in a Guinness sauce and the Nom Nom Wings which are sweet n' spicy wings. Although they say it's for two, you will both be stuffed if you do eat it all! The Dalkey Duo, battered sausage is by far my favorite. The outside is crispy and the inside is flavorful and moist. UGH! I wish I had some now.
My favorite spot on the bar is right here. <3 Also if you are lucky you will be at Raglan Road when the Irish Step Dancers perform. They will get up on the tables and dance so everyone can see.
Have you eaten here? What's your favorite food?
Another place I have on my 2015 short list! Rey and I have been wanting to go to RR for a while now and just couldn't fit it in on our Anniversary trip. I heard the bread pudding is to die for! :)
ReplyDeleteYAY! I love that you're adding so many delicious places to go! I have yet to try the bread pudding, you'll have to let me know how it is :)
DeleteI always pass this restaurant when I go to Downtown Disney and I always say, man I need to try that place! It's definitely on my list :)
ReplyDeleteLauren, you HAVE TO try it, if not just for the drinks and appetizers. It's a great place to just stop by if its pouring or really really hot. Let me know what you think of it when you go :)
DeleteI'm a big fan of the hard ciders, and Strongbow was the first one I tried. The others may be difficult to find, but I know where I can get Strongbow.
ReplyDeleteomg Lesley, I LOVE LOVE LOVE Strongbow! If I come in the back way of EPCOT I MUST make Rose and Crown my first stop to grab a Strongbow. Really the only other place I've seen hard cider was during the Food and Wine Festival last year when Angry Orchard was blowing up the scene, they had it everywhere on property it seemed.
DeleteHaving been to Ireland, I just couldn't get an appreciation for the authentic food there, so RR has never been on my list to visit. You do such a great job with your restaurant reviews and take such great pictures that you now have me reconsidering!
ReplyDeleteI really like your "Tastefully Tuesday" series and look forward to it! Thanks for sharing! ~M
Holy hell! You've been to Ireland! That is so cool, where did you go? I guess I have family in County Cork. Have you been there??
DeleteThank you :) I have a bit of a Disney Food Obsession. Or a DFO for short, it hasn't be diagnosed by a doctor but I have safely been able to self-diagnose. You should totally give the app I have pictured above a chance, but I bet it really doesn't compare too much to the authenticity of Ireland.
:)
I HAVE to go there and try this place! I'm not Irish but I love Irish fare, and well...my favorite beer is Guinness :)
ReplyDeleteHey, everyone is Irish at Raglan Road <3 The Irish don't discriminate they appreciate anyone with a penchant for alcohol and a good time! You have to stop by, let me know what you think when you do :)
DeleteI LOVE Raglan Rd! I went there for the first time when I did Goofy this year and it was delicious! I had the Shepard's Pie. Omg, so good. I need to go back during Princess weekend. Mmmmm!
ReplyDeleteYAY! I'm so glad you like it too Jaime! I feel like it usually gets forgotten. I haven't tried anything other than the appetizer, maybe I should start branching out haha
