The Artist's Palette at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa will unveil a new menu this week, with a range of new dishes starting August 9.

Breakfast time

Start your Disney day right with the brand new Avocado Toast, a plant-based breakfast featuring avocado, cherry tomatoes, radish, and more on toasted sunflower bread. For those with a sweet tooth, the revamped French Toast Strata with crème anglaise is served alongside fresh berries and your choice of bacon or sausage.


Grab-and-Go Market and Sandwiches

The resort's grab-and-go section will be serving up new additions, including a Charcuterie plate with Chef's selection and the Turkey BLT with house-made pimento cheese. Sandwich aficionados will appreciate the Western New York-inspired Beef on Weck - sliced brisket on a caraway brioche bun served with au jus and Saratoga chips, and the Tuna Salad Sandwich.

Pizza

The Artist's Palette's pizza hearth is also getting a makeover. The classic Margherita Pizza has been revamped, now featuring fresh ingredients on house-made dough.

Dinner Selections

Dinner takes a personalized turn after 4:00 p.m., with three create-your-own entrées such as Homestyle Meatloaf, Sautéed Garlic Shrimp, and Herb-roasted Chicken. Pair your meal with sides like Yukon gold mashed potatoes or roasted rainbow carrots.

The Saratoga Salad, a favorite among regulars, remains on the menu, along with the signature Ham & Cheese Panini.

Sweet Endings

Lastly, don't forget to indulge in one of the two new sweet treats. The Derby Day Pie is inspired by traditional racetrack sweets, and don't miss the signature Artist's Palette Cookie.

And here I remember loving the burgers down there. Id've happily spent my entire vacation (and allowance savings) at the arcade.

the Fiesta Fun Center! I loved that as a kid. and yeah, the snack bar was pretty dismal....it was a different time though. And there were plenty of other food options back then on the concourse level... It was a cool space...a very large arcade with a movie theater at the back... now their arcade is just a space off the concourse level...not special...just a room with machines. I am glad that the Saratoga Springs quick-serve and shop area is getting a little love. Last time I was there they still had the old 90s modern colored Lucite chandeliers left over from the Disney Institute days...

Oh I know, I'm from Buffalo. And I'm insane enough to ALWAYS believe that THIS time is going to be the time somewhere outside of Buffalo gets it right 😂 I don't mind Buffalonian food, or the attempt anyway, being on the menu at Saratoga. Lots of people think Buffalo is part of Canada, and/or that the only part of New York of value is the city. Upstate and Western NY solidarity!

So, I remember the contemporary arcade where Steakhouse 71 is now, the food court there was terrible. This is not an observation of one trip, it was years of trips. Why is everything that is new so hard for people to accept? Is it because you are old now? I am old now too with aches and pains (45) but I am interested in giving the new menu a chance. As someone who has points at Saratoga, I appreciate the new renovations from the old and hope I get the same out of BLT!

It is like saying chai tea. Chai means tea. Or queso cheese. LOL

Im guessing that Disney will start making their menus more robust again to try to build the magic back now that attendance is soft. Or they will keep menus dumbed down to make offering “free” dining less of an impact on profit margin when they ramp up those incentives to strengthen bookings.

Smaller menus are a lot cheaper and easier to manage. Less kitchen staff, less kitchen space, less food waste. Smaller menus CAN mean better quality at times. It is hard to focus on quality when you have 50 items on your menu. A focused menu is one thing though, a menu with one chicken, one beef, one fish, and one vegetarian just says cost cutting. There is a new restaurant near me that we waited a LONG time for it to open. Ate there once, and never went back. All you had to do was look at the menu and you realized that everything that was on there was designed around long term storage and minimizing cost.

"served with au jus" It is also served "With with juice" Just a pet peeve of mine. I have noticed that WDW has changed a number of menus that used to list "jus", such as. Prime Rib Potato puree, braised carrot, jus To Prime Rib Potato puree, braised carrot, au jus The au is already implied in the line listing what comes with the main dish. The Prime Rib comes WITH Potato, Carrot, and juice. But they feel the need to say it comes with potato, carrot, and with juice. And yeah, I have had beef on weck, that is not beef on weck. Beef on weck is also a Buffalo / Rochester thing. Miles away from Saratoga Springs, which is what, you know, SSR is supposed to be. Might as well throw a NYC dirty water dog on the menu while they are at it.

Yeah it’s wild. I travel a lot and not just to Disney. But it seems like Disney is the only place still living in 2021 or at least wishing it was still 2021. It drives me crazy to go to a Disney restaurant that used to have 15+ entrees (ok maybe not 15 but it’s been so long I can’t remember) and now only have maybe 6? It’s unfortunate to see.

Agree. Post covid menus are sparse and spensive. We used to enjoy Rose and Crown but their menu is so pared down and the food is not worth the price.

dreamfinder912Aug 10, 2023

Got my hopes up over the beef on weck. Its actually brisket on brioche. Standard brisket on a brioche hamburger bun. Hopefully the other new items are better.

Olivia's still has a good experience imo. I just think ever since covid the menu hasn't been as good. But that is a lot of restaurants on property.

PhonedaveAug 09, 2023

I question that whole gift shop / quick service combo. Not sure why they went that route. I used to enjoy Turf Club. I would not go out of my way to eat there, but since SSR is my home resort it is an easy stop, and was a solid performed. But I agree, recently it has started to drift down (and in my opinion so has OIivia's, which is its' sister restaurant for whatever that means). They have done some menu changes, but not really anything earth shattering. The question is, on the new Artist Pallett menu, can I get a poached egg on the avocado toast? If not, what's the point?

They need french fries
