Toledo Dinner Review

*This gluten free dining experience took place in January 2022. It includes information about dairy free options, as well as fish/shellfish, peanut, hazelnut, cabbage, and chicken & turkey allergies.

Dinner at Toledo

Toledo, located at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort, is a table service restaurant that offers Spanish inspired food with impressive views of Disney World from the top of the Gran Destino Tower. On this visit, we made an impromptu dinner reservation. Our reservation was just at opening (5 p.m.), and we were looking forward to a nice low-key meal out.

Atmosphere

Toledo is inspired by the surrealist art created by Salvador Dali. The ceiling includes brightly colored stained glass, and there are even trees in the middle of the restaurant!

We absolutely love dining at Toledo just around sunset. The lighting is beautiful and very inviting. The restaurant also includes lots of brightly colored chairs, tableware, and flooring.

There are lots of different seating style options too. We love these cozy booths found around the exterior of Toledo. Though we haven’t had a chance to be seated in these yet, we already think these are our favorite seating options in the restaurant.

We did have a nice two-top table located by the exterior of the restaurant. It included some amazing views of Disney World, including a nice view of the lake at Coronado Springs and the resort.

The Food

Like most restaurants owned and operated by Disney, Toledo does have an allergy-friendly menu. Of course, you can always speak to a chef if you have questions or want to discuss additional options or modifications for your special dietary needs. On this visit, we did speak to the chef who was very helpful at talking through options and modifications.

Toledo - Gluten Free Charcuterie Plate / Photo Taken by Gluten Free & Dairy Free at WDW

We can’t go to Toledo without ordering the modified version of The Spaniard — a charcuterie plate for two. Though it’s not listed on the allergy-friendly menu, this item can be easily made gluten free by swapping out the bread for GF bread. For peanut and tree nut allergies, the almonds can be omitted. If you’re dairy free, they can remove the cheese.

This is hands down one of our favorite charcuterie plates on Disney property. Both of us agree that the quality of the meats and cheeses and all of the accompaniments are top notch. We especially love the fig jam. And, I personally love the olives.

Although this charcuterie plate is a bit on the pricey side at $35, we both feel the quality of the meats and cheeses and the portion do make it worth it for us. If you’re looking for some cost-savings at Toledo, the restaurant does offer a dinner for two that includes this along with a shared entree and desserts.

Toledo - Potatas Bravas / Photo Taken by Gluten Free & Dairy Free at WDW

Brandon really wanted to try some of the side dishes at Toledo. To the surprise of no one, Brandon — the potato connoisseur, settled on the Patatas Bravas. These were marked safe for Gluten/Wheat, Fish/Shellfish, Milk, Peanut/Tree Nut, and Soy Allergies. The sauce does contain egg.

Both of us really liked these potatoes. They were super well cooked, generously salted, and the sauce was a bit spicy and tangy.

Toledo - Sustainable Fish Entree / Photo Taken by Gluten Free & Dairy Free at WDW

For my entree, I ordered the Black Grouper with Cauliflower, Cipollini Onions, and Valencia Orange. This dish is marked safe for Gluten/Wheat, Egg, Peanut/Tree Nut, Shellfish, and Soy Allergies. The sauce does contain dairy, but you can get alternative options if you’re dairy free.

I liked this dish, but I didn’t love it. The fish was a bit overcooked, and I found it to be a little “fishy” tasting. The Valencia Orange added a nice touch, and I loved the cauliflower. Next time we visit, I would probably order something else. But, if you’re a fish fan, this could be an option for you. I have heard the scallops entree is amazing, so I may have to try that next time.

Toledo - Filet / Photo Taken by Gluten Free & Dairy Free at WDW

For Brandon’s entree, he ordered the Filet of Beef with Olive Oil-Potato Purée, Forest Mushrooms, Date Jam and Sherry Vinaigrette. This dish was marked safe for Gluten/Wheat, Fish/Shellfish, Peanut/Tree Nut, and Soy Allergies. It was also made safe for Brandon’s additional allergies of chicken, turkey, and cabbage.

Brandon absolutely loved this entree. He loved the cook on the steak, the flavors, and especially the date jam. I had this entree on a previous visit, and both of us agreed that the dish could use more jam because it’s just so good. This is definitely a go-to entree that Brandon will get again on our next visit to Toledo.

Overall

We both really enjoy the theme and food served at Toledo. The charcuterie plate is a highest of high marks for us. And, we both agree that the entrees are always solid. Add in that the restaurant has “moderately” priced food for Disney, and you have a very nice table service option at a Disney resort. Even if you’re not staying at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort, we both feel it’s worth visiting if you want great views of Disney property, good food, and a more relaxed “top of the world” experience. We look forward to going back again or enjoying the Dahlia Lounge just next door to Toledo for drinks and appetizers.
