Kona Cafe

Gardens thick with coconut palms and orchids, volcanic rock waterfalls, white-sand beaches and Polynesian
music set the stage at Disney?s Polynesian Resort, home of Kona Cafe. The energetic, casual eatery is awash
in warm colors with brilliant ceramic tilework, hammered ironwork and distinctive lighting. Center stage is a
lively dessert kitchen, where a dazzling array of sweets is arranged like fine art on the stone countertop,
tempting diners before they?re even seated.

The 172-seat restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, starting with the Sunrise Menu that features
fresh juices and fruits, omelets and the decadent Auntie Kaui?s Tonga Toast, a longtime Polynesian favorite
-- banana-stuffed sourdough bread, rolled in cinnamon sugar, then fried. The aroma of Kona coffee, one of the richest coffees in the world, wafts through the air. Kona coffee comes from one of the most fertile regions in Hawaii; the green coffee beans are flown to Central Florida, then roasted to produce the house blend. Beans
are ground to order throughout the day. The restaurant adds a Pan-Pacific spin to its Midday Menu, with pot stickers, Thai peanut shrimp salad, and giant steaming bowls of soup with Asian vegetables in miso broth with noodles and meat or fish. But the restaurant also offers basic lunchtime fare: hearty salads, blackened fish
and the Big Kahuna Burger, for instance. One lunchtime favorite is the Two-Fisted Chicken Sandwich with basil mayo, roasted peppers and spinach salad on mountain bread.

At dinner, the stage is set for boldly flavored evening specialties, with Pacific Rim spices jazzing up American classics like pork chops and spoon bread.

A team of chefs spent nearly two years on the design and concept development of the restaurant, and the work centered around the idea that the food would be market fresh with a healthy Asian kick. A modest selection of beers, wines and cocktails accompanies the eclectic menu.

Crab cakes, for instance, are flavored with ginger and coriander and set atop basil and chili oils, then topped
with baby greens and a dollop of chipotle pepper mayonnaise. The restaurant's signature soup is a mellow
ginger carrot combination, with a swirl of half-whipped cream and freshly cracked nutmeg. A succulent pork
chop is transformed when brushed with a glaze of soy sauce and pickled ginger, then placed atop saut'd
spinach and spoon bread that?s flavored with chili paste, green onion and ginger.

The best seller is always the fresh fish, which can be prepared Hong Kong style, steamed or grilled, served
with pan-fried noodles and baby bok choy. Kona offers up to a dozen varieties including sushi-grade tuna, swordfish, salmon, wahoo, red snapper and sea bass.
One of the best sellers is "The Bag," fork-tender pork roast, top neck clams and fish steamed with Asian vegetables in a flavorful miso broth in a bag that servers open at the table, releasing the savory steam.

Desserts range from fresh chunks of Hawaiian pineapple, served with caramel dipping sauce, to a seductive Kilauea Torte, named after the active volcano on Hawaii?s Big Island, filled with warm hazelnut and chocolate
that spills out like lava when broken with a fork. Popular Ko Ko Puffs are filled with chocolate pastry cream and topped with Chantilly icing and a dollop of whipped cream.
A favorite of all ages is the Kona Cone, an oversized waffle cone dipped in chocolate and standing upright
with a spun-sugar base. The cone is filled with chocolate and vanilla ice cream, with a flourish of lacy sugar
fans on top.

Typical menu items - (breakfast) fresh juice, tonga toast, pancakes, eggs benedict, grits, bagels, muffins, fruit.
(lunch) soup, crab cakes, salad, blackened salmon sandwich, chicken sandwich, artichoke ravioli.
(dinner) sticky chicken wings, caesar salad, herb roasted chicken, barbecue shrimp, prime rib.

  • Spend some lazy time relaxing in a hammock on the beach.
  • If you like the music played around the resort, CDs are available at the gift shop.
  • Have your photo taken by the mini rainforest in the lobby, alongside the beautiful waterfall.
  • A must have for breakfast is the Tonga Toast from the Kona Cafe. French toast stuffed with banana - delicious! Also available on the room service menu. If you find yourself craving Tonga Toast once you return home.
  • One of the more popular WDW restaurants can be found here - 'Ohana (meaning Family). Featuring an all-you-can-eat Polynesian feast at dinner cooked in the world's largest indoor firepit, along with hula dancing and coconut races!
  • A nice touch, unique to the Polynesian, is the lei that you receive on checking-in. Not staying at the Polynesian? You can purchase leis from one of the Resort's shops.
  • If you want to get into the spirit of things, check out the Hawaiian fashions in the shops.
  • Don't miss the Torch Lighting Ceremony. Performed just outside the entrance to the Great Ceremonial House at 6pm from Tuesday to Saturday.
  • Whilst on the beach see if you can spot the wave machine that was installed under water when the Resort first opened. Use of the machine had to stop due to the waves causing beach erosion, although it was never removed.
  • If the main Nanea Volcano Pool is too crowded, try the quiet pool instead, which is actually larger.
  • Want to visit Epcot? To get to the TTC by monorail, requires stops at Grand Floridian Resort, Magic Kingdom and the Contemporary Resort. It would be quicker to walk to the TTC to get the express monorail to Epcot.
  • Buses going to the Animal Kingdom Park, Disney-MGM Studios, Typhoon Lagoon and Downtown Disney also pick guests up at the Contemporary and Grand Floridian. At peak times, it may be better to walk to the TTC and board a bus there.
  • Not in a hurry? Take the boat launch to the Magic Kingdom instead of the monorail, which can be crowded at peak times.
  • When getting the monorail from the Magic Kingdom, make sure you get the Resort monorail rather than the express monorail, which only stops at the TTC.
  • Throw a penny in the pond at the main entrance, it means that you want to return to the Resort!
  • When staying at the hawaii long house if you want to get a table with a nice view at breakfast make sure you arrive when it opens. It gets crowded early.
