Now let’s talk about the bread pudding. Yes, that famous one at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort gets a lot of love. But what if I told you there’s a tropical twist on this beloved dessert just waiting to steal the spotlight? Enter: Sebastian’s Bistro’s Coconut-Pineapple Bread Pudding- a true hidden gem located at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, and in my opinion, it easily outshines Ohana’s version.
Why Sebastian’s Bistro Deserves the Hype
First, let’s set the scene. Nestled beside the Fuentes del Morro Pool and the laid-back Banana Cabana Pool Bar, Sebastian’s Bistro serves up major island vibes and waterfront views. This table-service restaurant is open to all- no resort stay needed. Hop on the Skyliner or catch a Disney bus, and you’re just moments away from a tropical escape. But make sure to snag your dining reservations in advance.
The atmosphere is warm, breezy, and soaked in Caribbean charm. Whether you’re winding down from a long park day or looking for a chill dinner spot, this place hits all the right notes.
A Feast That Feels Like Vacation
Sebastian’s Bistro offers an all-you-care-to-enjoy family-style menu at a surprisingly great price point. The experience kicks off with Buttery House-Baked Pull-Apart Rolls, paired with Guava Butter and Caramelized Onion Jam – yum!!
Next comes a refreshing mixed greens salad topped with spiced candied pepitas, tropical fruits, and other island-inspired ingredients.
But the real magic begins with the entrée: the Taste of the Caribbean platter. This generous selection features:
- Oven-Roasted Citrus Chicken
- Slow-Cooked Mojo Pork
- Grilled Chili-Rubbed Beef
- Sustainable Baked Fish
- Cilantro Rice and Beans
- Candied Plantains
- Roasted Seasonal Vegetables
Craving more? Add-ons like Fried Coconut Shrimp with Sweet Chili Sauce or Crab and Seafood Cakes with Mango Slaw and Guajillo Aïoli are available for a small extra fee, and well worth it.
The Show-Stopping Finale: Coconut-Pineapple Bread Pudding
And now, the grand finale: Coconut-Pineapple Bread Pudding, served warm with Caramel Sauce and a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream.
This dessert doesn’t just finish the meal, it makes it unforgettable. It’s moist, rich, and full of tropical flavor. Coconut adds a sweet, nutty touch, pineapple brings a tangy kick, and the warm caramel sauce ties it all together. If you love ‘Ohana’s bread pudding, give Sebastian’s version a try- you might even like it more.
