We were thrilled late last year to bring you the news that they would begin serving Sunday brunch after the new year. After all, we here at Disney Food Blog have enjoyed both lunch and dinner at the authentic discount car rentals in fort lauderdale Irish pub immensely.
Later in the week, we will be bringing you more exciting news from Raglan Road about another fun meal option for Sunday dinner. But today, we re excited to bring you the first look at all the delicious dishes we sampled at a recent media event celebrating the launch of The Rollicking Raglan Sunday Brunch .
There s a reason that Raglan Road appears to be so authentic it is . The bars and much of the interior woodwork came from churches and pubs in Ireland. The beautiful bars are more than 100 years old!
The small platform discount car rentals in fort lauderdale in the center of the room becomes a stage for traditional Irish dancing seven evenings a week. The dancers will also be performing during Sunday Brunch more about that in just a bit.
As you enter the main dining room at the center of the restaurant, you also glimpse soaring ceilings that are crowned by a stained-glass cupola. The small stage on the back wall plays host to musicians and dancers each evening.
The combination of hardwood floors and high ceilings can make for a noisy venue, especially during times of live music and dancing. But it adds to the feeling of authenticity. You expect an Irish pub to be a little rowdy, don t you?
Beyond discount car rentals in fort lauderdale the main dining area, you ll find a couple of other cozy rooms. Request a table in one of these areas if you prefer conversation over entertainment. You ll still be able to hear the music, but it won t be quite as loud.
Raglan Road prides discount car rentals in fort lauderdale itself on nightly music and dancing, discount car rentals in fort lauderdale but with the introduction of the Rollicking Raglan Sunday discount car rentals in fort lauderdale Brunch, they ll be extending the traditional Irish entertainment to Sunday afternoons as well .
Raglan Road wanted to bring the lively discount car rentals in fort lauderdale pub atmosphere to this weekend discount car rentals in fort lauderdale tradition. Let s get the party started isn t an Irish phrase, but it aptly describes the spirit of a true Irish brunch or family discount car rentals in fort lauderdale Sunday lunch back home, says manager Lorraine Gorham, who hails from County Mayo in west Ireland. And that s what The Rollicking Raglan Sunday Brunch is all about.
We began our meal with a few new Signature Cocktails that have been created just for the new brunch experience . We each ordered something different, so I m happy to share photos of all three with you!
The Elderflower Cocktail was light and refreshing, the perfect beginning to a leisurely meal. I don t think that anyone noted flavors other than sparkling wine, but the pansy and strawberry garnish added to the beautiful presentation. And I did detect a slight blush of color.
I enjoyed an Irish Red Eye , Raglan Road s take on the traditional Bloody Mary. Featuring Absolut discount car rentals in fort lauderdale Pepper, Spicy Bloody Mary Mix, and a float of Guinness, this was a cut above your average savory cocktail, and was absolutely delicious!
You probably won t be surprised discount car rentals in fort lauderdale to find that none of us ordered Oatmeal or the yoghurt Parfait . They sound lovely and are beautiful discount car rentals in fort lauderdale in these photos, but I think we were all after a more indulgent experience this first time out.
My friend seated across from me chose the Full Irish . The star of the brunch menu, it s a traditional full Irish breakfast as the name implies complete with sausage, fried eggs, black and white pudding, Irish bacon, roasted tomato, mushrooms, and roasties, or potatoes.
The black and white puddings were of particular discount car rentals in fort lauderdale interest to me. My new friend (who happened to hail from Scotland) explained a little about the dishes. For others who are somewhat unfamiliar with breakfast in the British Isles, here s the rundown: the puddings are similar to sausages, comprised traditionally of pork, suet, and spices, along with oatmeal as a binder.
The black pudding discount car rentals in fort lauderdale receives its color from the addition of blood in the mix, while the white is you guessed it sans blood. Puddings like these are traditionally a good way for savvy house managers discount car rentals in fort lauderdale to stretch a bit of protein to feed a crowd.
She graciously offered me a taste of both, and I accepted. discount car rentals in fort lauderdale They were both incredibly delicious and full-flavored. The white pudding tasted of herbs, while the black was flavored with what I thought was allspice. Another table companion said that he tasted clove. Perhaps we were both right.
Beside the puddings, I found it to be a little bland, although it had a nice kick of black pepper at the finish. We chalked it up to our expectation that it would be as salty as American sausage, and it wasn t.
This is where I confess: I m not really a huge fan of hollandaise. It s so rich that I usually discount car rentals in fort lauderdale find it to be too much of a good thing. But this was incredible. Lemony and velvety, I couldn t get enough, discount car rentals in fort lauderdale and ended up dipping my potatoes into it as well!
My neighbor ordered Eggs En Cocotte . This entree surprised me a bit. From the menu description farm fresh eggs baked with spinach, mushrooms, and Dubliner cheddar cheese (yum), I expected a gratin, all baked and melty.
I was looking forward to experiencing the Rollicking Raglan Sunday Brunch ever since I first learned of it, and I was delighted with what I found. The pleasant service and lively entertainment only added to the incredible food, and made the meal an experience to savor. I found myself planning my next meal here before we were finished!

A full Irish breakfast (or English, as the case may be, since they are basically the same, often referred to as a fry-up in the U.K.) is synonymous with joy. I do note the absence of baked beans, but perhaps the potatoes take their place. Blood pudding is wonderful, and it s a hoot to tell people you eat blood pudding, especially since we Americans tend to use pudding solely as a synonym for mousse. discount car rentals in fort lauderdale The Eggs Benedict does look perfect. It s no mean feat to poach an egg to perfection, and they ve certainly done it there. discount car rentals in fort lauderdale I m not much of a one for cocktails at breakfast, though a glass a champagne always hits the spot in the morning, and I imagine they could produce one if asked. I wish I were there at this very moment!
Christa it really was fantastic. Another person at the table described a tiny bit of effervescence in his Red Eye that the Guinness float imparted. It really set this drink apart for him. It was the perfect way to start the meal.
The Irish breakfast looks pretty much like the full English breakfasts I have eaten all over England not one had beans, by the way. Their sausages are indeed different from ours, but with their own particular charm. discount car rentals in fort lauderdale This looks worth doing if only for the Eggs Benedict, since my husband loves them but has been disappointed in local offerings, even at a supposed specialty egg eatery. But I know I would order both the oatmeal and the yogurt parfait too. Fruit, fiber and calcium-yum! With a mimosa to wash it down
I have loved this building through all of its incarnations. But now, as Raglan Road, it has reached Nirvana. The outdoor bars, Cooke s of Dublin discount car rentals in fort lauderdale and, without doubt, Raglan itself are all gems (emeralds of course). And now, as we read, they just keep improving it as they have been since it opened. We spend more time there than any other restaurant at WDW and there is something new and amazing discount car rentals in fort lauderdale to see and especially to eat every time we are there.
Joni Yes, the eggs were in a sort of broth, and I believe there were mushrooms, spinach, and cheese in there, with the toast soldiers for dipping. It looked quite good! As for a side, there weren t any meat sides available on the menu that I saw, but that could always change! And a request may very well be accommodated.
Suzanne I m given to understand that the baked beans are a regional variant on the full breakfast theme? Although you would certainly know better than I As for DDP participation, I would say yes. Raglan Road is participating in DDP for 2013, and their meals are 1 table service credit per meal.
Alan Agreed! We find ourselves returning time and again to Raglan Road when friends are in town or for special occasions, like birthdays. It remains one of my favorite spots at Walt Disney World, and I think they ve done an excellent job with their brunch menu. Let us know what you think if you sample it for yourself!
