Wolfgang Puck Express completely redone at Downtown Disney

The Wolfgang Puck Express restaurant in Downtown Disney Marketplace re-open a little over a month ago and I’ve just had a chance to check it out. I was surprised just how much has changed. It looks like a completely new restaurant. There’s still indoor and outdoor seating, but both have been expanded.

“After more than a decade of success in Downtown Disney Marketplace, we are very excited to have renewed our lease and remodeled the restaurant to provide our guests with a freshly updated Wolfgang Puck Express,” said Ron Biskin, president, Wolfgang Puck Express.

Chef Puck’s famous open kitchen and hearth-style oven serve as the heart of the 4,600-square foot, 173-seat restaurant. The entire kitchen features new equipment, including a new rotisserie oven, where the restaurant roasts rotisserie chicken, turkey and roast beef. One of the new restaurant additions is a frozen yogurt bar featuring non-fat vanilla and chocolate yogurt with a choice of fresh seasonal fruit, granola, assorted nuts, chocolate chip, and chopped cookie and brownie toppings. Other new menu items include pizza with meatball and parmesan, Chicken Tortilla Melt and Four Cheese Macaroni Al Forno, Rigatoni with Chicken Bolognese and Spaghetti with Meatballs. They also serve breakfast until 11 a.m.

Design features include black and white photos of Chef Puck (and some Disney ones as well). Floor-to-ceiling glass doors offer a view of the dining room from the new and expanded patio with brick columns and awnings.

“Our goal is provide our guests freshly prepared quality meals at affordable prices, served with Wolfgang Puck’s genuine hospitality. We are thrilled to reopen and once again welcome guests to our restaurant,” said Shaneena Tremblay, general manager.

The restaurant is open 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily. For more information visit www.wolfgangpuck.com.
