Chef created Cuban-American cuisine isn’t the obvious choice for post-golf fare, but it sure tasty. Plancha, located at the Four Seasons Tranquilo Golf Club, offers a picturesque lakeside view where you can enjoy Cuban flavor as well as traditional clubhouse plates. Signature dishes such as the Cubano sandwich and empanadas provide a refreshing taste of Cuba, and their confections are the perfect ending to a day on the course. Whether you play golf or prefer to watch, Plancha is a delightful, serene spot on Disney property that’s sure to meet your lunchtime cravings. Here’s what we recently tasted and enjoyed at Plancha:
Guacamole: Skip the tortilla chips and enjoy some house-made guac dipped in Naan chips.
Tuna Ceviche: Layered with avocado and coconut vinaigrette. A light and healthy dish that uses exceptional tuna and guacamole that’s perfect for enjoying on a hot Florida day.
El Cubano: After debating excessively over my entree, I decided when in “Rome”, I’d better enjoy a Cuban sandwich. This large pile of fluffy bread layered with roasted pork, black forest ham, Swiss, mustard and house-made pickles was bursting with authentic flavor and freshness. True to all of Chef Pedro’s dishes, every ingredient in this sandwich was picked and curated with care.
And in a surprising finish, Plancha’s dessert was equally impressive as the former courses. Here’s some of our favorite confections:
Traditional Flan: with Caña Sugar Caramel, a soft and sweet dessert surrounded with a delectable pool of caramel.
Tres Leches: with Dulce de Leche and crunchy chocolate pearls. This airy sponge cake was layered with all kinds of goodness. Our favorite sweet treat of the day and one that won’t weigh you down if you’re headed back on the course.
A hidden gem of sorts on Disney property and located minutes from the Magic Kingdom, Plancha is an exceptional option for lunch, dessert or a few drinks. Just make sure you order that guacamole and Tres Leches!
