Nice quiet atmosphere! Ideal to relax for a while. The service is very friendly. The food is very tasty and you can take something of everything and share it. Cocktails are also very tasty. In the lounge you have a view of the water and you have a perfect view of the boats with Disney characters that pass by on the water!

The Nomad Lounge is one of my favorite experiences in all of Disney World. The drinks are incredible, the food is top notch and the atmosphere is inspiring and enchanting. It’s designed for nomadic spirits, lovers of travel and exploration. It really resonated with me and I can’t wait to go back! I highly recommend Jenn’s Tattoo… a fruity and sweet cocktail. Very good! Next time we go I’m going to try the churros!

Food and cocktails are so good! Service is excellent. They open at 10:30 am. If you get in line about ten minutes before the doors open, you are sure to get a seat pretty quickly. Great for kids too. They have fancy mocktails and churros.Vegetarian options: Mushroom Bao BunDietary restrictions: Server will start by asking for allergies. You can easily keep your keto or gluten free diet going here.Kid-friendliness: There were a few kids enjoying themselves inside with churros.Wheelchair accessibility: Very easy to get in with a wheelchair

Not many people know about this place, but this is one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Animal Kingdom! This is a bar-like restaurant where you get drinks & small plates from Latin America, Africa, and Asia. This restaurant is attached to Tiffins, so you’ll get similar food here! There’s a cozy atmosphere in this place, as there’s quotes from people traveling. The seats are comfortable, and our waiter was friendly & attentive.The actual food here is outstanding! My Kiama Mamma had great presentation, and has a good watermelon flavor in it. The wings were spicy & high quality, and the bread service, especially the Brazilian cheese bread, was a good addition to our meal. The Cuban frita sliders weren’t that exciting, but the spices on the sliders and the yuca fries tasted well. Overall, would recommend trying to join the waitlist! This is much better than most restaurants in Animal Kingdom.

Inside Disney’s Animal Kingdom but feels like you are a world away! I cannot say enough great things about Nomad lounge! We took a break from exploring the park and escaped into the wonderful embrace of Nomad Lounge to rest, eat, toast, and celebrate my sister’s birthday before we were off on more adventures. We had amazing drinks with the freshest ingredients, yes they were adult beverages! The tiffins lobster Mac and cheese and the Cuban frita sliders which were a special but are now on the menu. Everything was delicious!! They even surprised my sister with a frozen cheesecake I believe for dessert for her birthday. What made the experience ever better was the service! Our server/cast member could not have been better! He was fantastic! We now make Nomad Lounge part of our visit if they have space every visit to Animal Kingdom.

Reservations are good to have but have also been able to get seating at a walk up without too much of a wait.Great selection of drinks and fun flavors. Food menu is small but quality, poke, ribs, wings, bread basket, bao, tapas style. Selection changes every now and thenInside and outside seating, very lounge/chill atmosphere for a nice quiet part of the park. Highly recommend
Checkin process and management needs work. We took a walk up reservation and estimated return in 50 minutes. We got a text about 40 minutes later saying our table would be ready in 15 minutes so we headed over. Waited another 50 minutes before we were finally seated. Asked to speak to a manager and were met with a dismissive tone, guy could have cared less about our wait or concern.We’ve eaten at almost every restaurant in WDW and this experience is far and away the worst we’ve had. The tone of management and the checkin crew was terrible. When drinks and appetizers cost almost $200 you would expect great treatment, but not here.WDW: please check in on this place. Wait staff was way too lean. Bartender refused to give me silverware when my waitress was too busy serving other tables. Manager Frank needs basic customer service training.Kid-friendliness: It’s Disney so kids will be allowed but this is definitely geared toward adult crowd. They have a kids menu if you ask.

Extensive gluten free menu and great atmosphere. It gets busy fast make sure to join the waiting list early. Had the "Night Monkey" drink and it was delicious.Dietary restrictions: Extensive GF menu
This lounge is located in the heart of Disney’s Animal Kingdom. It had incredible atmosphere, food, and service!Our server, Dallas, was absolutely lovely. He attended our every need and had a great sense of humour! The lounge itself is located beside the river that flows through Animal Kingdom, and has beautiful chairs, couches and curtains (to block the harsh sun) on the outside patio we were seated at. You could easily imagine being somewhere in the jungle and it was nice to be in a quiet space in the park.I got their Smoked Pork Ribs, and they were divine! They came out piping hot, pull-apart tender, and the egg was poached perfectly. The egg yolk offered an extra layer of richness when you dipped the ribs in it, and the pickled radishes helped cut through the grease. A fantastic light dish all around! My fiancé got their Cuban Frita Sliders, which were also delicious. The fries they came with were perfectly seasoned and out of this world!For our drinks, he got the Tempting Tigress and absolutely loved it, especially the bourbon in it. I got the Balinese Breeze, which was a nonalcoholic version of one of the other drinks on the menu. It was so fruity and refreshing!I highly recommend stopping by the Nomad Lounge while you’re in Animal Kingdom. It will whisk you away to another country entirely, has delicious food, and has refreshing, tropical drinks.Kid-friendliness: This restaurant is located in Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
