Where to eat seafood in Lake Buena Vista

Three of these picks are at Disney Springs, along the lake that runs through the district, so you can compare menus on a short walk. Paddlefish and The BOATHOUSE sit right on the water, while Raglan Road is at The Landing. Capa is a short drive away on the 17th floor of the Four Seasons Resort Orlando in Golden Oak.

For a seafood splurge, order the tower at Paddlefish or start with oysters at The BOATHOUSE. For something casual, Raglan Road's fish and chips is hard to beat. Weekend evenings at Disney Springs are crowded, so reserve ahead, and ask for a waterside table at sunset.

Tips for choosing a seafood restaurant

Families will find kids' menus at Paddlefish and The BOATHOUSE. Couples looking for a quieter, more formal meal should book Capa, where reservations are essential and terrace tables fill first. In summer, waterfront patios are hottest in the afternoon, so plan outdoor seating for after dark.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best seafood restaurant at Disney Springs?

Paddlefish is the most seafood-focused choice, serving oysters, lobster and seafood towers aboard a paddle-wheel steamboat on the lake. The BOATHOUSE is a close second with an oyster bar and seared yellowfin tuna, plus waterfront seating and Amphicar rides. Both are a short walk apart.

Where can I get fish and chips in Lake Buena Vista?

Raglan Road Irish Pub at The Landing in Disney Springs serves fish and chips in its sit-down dining room, with nightly live Irish music and dancing. If you are short on time, its quick-service fish and chips counter next door is a faster option for eating on the go.

Do I need reservations for seafood restaurants at Disney Springs?

Reservations are a good idea for dinner at Paddlefish and The BOATHOUSE, especially on weekends and during school holidays, when waits can run long. Capa at the Four Seasons should always be booked ahead, particularly if you want a terrace table during the Magic Kingdom fireworks.
