We know about the fun of Pandora, but let’s chat about the food coming to Saut’il Canteen!
Not that you needed another reason to look forward to the grand opening of Pandora – The World of Avatar at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, but I’m going to gladly give you something else to add your list! (What can I say except you’re welcome?)
Disney recently announced the yummy menu options at Satu’li Canteen, a fast casual dining restaurant that used to be an RDA mess hall but is now a restaurant that is decorated by all things Na’vi and Pandora. Just imagine being in an expansive space filled with hand-woven tapestries, cooking tools, and wall art that immerses you in a completely new world.
Satu’li Canteen is owned and operated by Alpha Centauri Expeditions (ACE) and offers guests a variety of international-inspired options featuring healthy grains, fresh vegetables & protein selections. What’s even better is that Disney allows you to build-your-own entree so your lunch or dinner is fully customized to your tastes!
Here’s a sneak peek:
- You start off your lunch or dinner selection with a base of the following:
- Quinoa and vegetable salad
- Red and sweet potato hash
- Mixed whole-grain and rice
- Romaine and kale salad
- Then you make your protein selection:
- Wood-grilled chicken
- Slow-roasted beef
- Sustainable fish
- Chili-spiced fried tofu
- And finally, you add your toppings:
- Charred onion chimichurri
- Black bean vinaigrette
- Creamy herb dressing
The restaurant also offers steamed pods – aka bao buns – filled with cheeseburger or vegetable curry served with root vegetable chips and vegetable slaw.
For the little Disney princes and princesses, there are many options too – from grilled chicken or beef, fish, or tofu with green beans or rice; hot dog wrapped in Parker House dough; cheese quesadilla, or a steamed cheeseburger bao bun.
Sounds good, right? But wait, there’s more!
Disney will also be introducing Mobile Order for the first time with the opening of this restaurant. Mobile Order allows you to order and pay for meals using the My Disney Experience app – that’s right, you don’t have to wait in line anymore! Using the app, you can pick your menu items and prepay for your meal. When you get to the restaurant, you simply need to click on the “I’m here” button on your app, which then notifies Disney Cast Members to prepare your meal. You will then get notified when your meal is ready for pickup. Easy peasy!
With that, I will turn it over to you! What do you think of the menu selections at Satu’li Canteen? What would be the first thing you would order?
