The outdoor\u00a0seating area of Satu’li Canteen<\/i><\/p>\n

In January, my family took our first trip to Walt Disney World<\/a> since Pandora: The World of Avatar<\/a> opened in Animal Kingdom<\/a>. We knew we\u2019d want to spend a lot of time in this new land, and we decided to have lunch at this area\u2019s quick service location, Satu\u2019li Canteen<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Satu’li Canteen has both indoor and outdoor seating available. The outdoor seating is shaded by thatched umbrellas. I\u2019m guessing this area gets crowded at traditional mealtimes, since this sign explains that only people eating at Satu\u2019li can sit here:<\/p>\n

The ordering stations here are set up as in any standard quick service location. You order at the cashier, pay, and then approach the counter to get your food once it\u2019s ready.<\/p>\n

According to my receipt, we ordered our food at 11:14 a.m., and there was hardly any wait. Our food came out quickly, and we were able to find an interior table for five with no problem.<\/p>\n

Our drinks and desserts<\/em><\/p>\n

As with any Disney restaurant, don\u2019t forget to look up! The ceilings in the bright, airy dining area featured lovely nature inspired designs. One could imagine the Na\u2019vi having a hand in the d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Yes, I have a “thing”\u00a0for Disney ceilings!<\/i><\/p>\n

The featured menu item here is a customizable bowl. It\u2019s ironic that although there are many different combinations you can order, my husband and I, without realizing it, ordered exactly the same thing: a chicken bowl with sweet potato hash and black bean sauce. My daughter ordered off the kids\u2019 menu: a cheese quesadilla with root vegetable chips and grapes. I had heard good things about the blueberry mousse and I ordered one for us to share.<\/p>\n

The chicken was perfectly cooked, still moist and juicy, and the sweet potato hash was warm and comforting on this cold January day. The black bean sauce had a slight kick to it, but was not overly spicy.<\/p>\n

My daughter enjoyed her quesadilla and ate several of the chips before realizing that someone had snuck some health into her vacation food. (I\u2019m pretty sure the root vegetables used were beets and sweet potatoes, judging from the color.)<\/p>\n

The blueberry mousse dessert was outstanding. It was bursting with flavor without being overly sweet, with a mild tang from the cream cheese. The passion fruit curd was rich but not overpowering.<\/p>\n

Delicious blueberry mousse<\/em><\/p>\n

My mother ordered the chicken bowl on a bed of greens, and got the chocolate dessert, which she let us taste. While it was certainly tasty and quite chocolately, it didn\u2019t stand out the way the blueberry mousse did.<\/p>\n

I definitely will return to the Satu\u2019li Canteen. I love the healthy slant of the menu, and the fact that I can customize my meal. \u00a0This is a great addition to the quick service scene at Animal Kingdom.<\/p>\n
