Kouzzina by Cat Cora - Disney, Orlando

So one of the amenities of staying onsite is that you have a few more choices than you would staying offsite and have to go find a place to go. We ended up at Kouzzina's by Cat Cora. Yes, Cat Cora, the Iron Chef.

Yes, the Dining Plan is accepted here, to which, for breakfast, you get: 2 drinks (coffee and juice) and entree and side. It's kinda weird that they offer that, because your main breakfast entree already includes a decent portion of side, so side on top of sides is alot of food.




What was so great about any sit-down restaurant at WDW is that if you have any allergies, don't feel like you're inconveniencing them, they are more than happy to oblige. When you walk in and put down your name for a table. They also ask if you have any food allergies.



So while they do not have a separate menu for your food allergies, they will get the chef from the back to come and talk to you. If the chef is not available, they will have the manager on duty to come and speak with you as well. Apparently, everyone in the food service of the resort has to go thru this course training about the different kinds of sensitivities, intolerance, and allergies. Then, they have to take a 65 question test, which if they missed one question, they have to re-do the entire test. So, don't ever feel like you have to work around their menu, they are more than happy to come and work around yours.
So, one the first day, we didn't know that is possible. So we ordered something simple. The American (first photo) where you have eggs, potatoes, and bacon. The second day (second photo), I had ordered the Spinach, Tomato, Feta, and Scrambled Eggs. The normal combo without the feta is just a normal breakfast combo, but having the feta it does add a kick with the cheese.

On the second day, David had order the Turkey hash with two eggs and arugula salad. The weird thing is that they had hidden the eggs inside the salad and you get the hash on the side, so your whole plate looks like there's only hash with salad. Since David wasn't a big salad person, we switched. So, the third day, I got what I got before, since I never really got to try it (see 3rd photo).



When the chef got word that David eats gluten free, she had whipped up some Mickey Mouse waffles. And since I thought that was cute, even though I'm not eating gluten free, they whipped up the Mickey waffles with fruit too. The syrup was light and mashed well with the fruit. I would probably add some creme fraiche.
