While there are many nice dinner options at Tokyo DisneySea, Magellan’s is probably our favorite amongst them. We were able to walk-in and get a table, but I would highly recommend making reservations if you booked at one of the Tokyo Disney Hotels or try getting a reservation by stopping by early in the morning. This was from our had dinner back in early April of 2015.
You can view one of my trips to DisneySea here.
The lounge and entrance are located on the top floor and the restaurant is located in the basement. We were lucky to have made reservation earlier in the day as the restaurant was fully booked when we arrived.
We sat in the main dining area of the rotunda with the globe, but there we later learned that if you booked early enough, you can secure a seating in a “secret room” located behind what looks like book cases and into a hidden wine cellar where the dining experience is located. Perhaps next time, but we were pretty happy to sit in the rotunda.
The tuna was expertly seared and the snow crab salad was very tasty.
The skin of the sea bream was seared nicely and the sauce was light and acidic, so as to not overpower the delicate fish.
The wagyu tenderloin was expertly cooked and seasoned as it was tender, juicy, and flavorful.
The dessert was also really good. I love how the sweets in Japan are not overly sweet.
The kid’s meal looked pretty impressive and all my children enjoyed it.
There are in fact many fine dining options at DisneySea. Of the ones I’ve been to, I would rank them in the following order – Magellan’s, Oceano, and SS Columbia. They were all by far better than what I’ve eaten at Disneyland and California Disney in Los Angeles, but if I can only pick one, I would make sure to eat at Magellan’s.
