One of the next big dining locations coming to Walt Disney World will be in Disney Springs, and it won’t only be great food, but it will be great food in an awesome building. Some new concept art has been released on Jaleo, and we now know that it will be opening sometime in early 2019.
The 22,000 square foot Jaleo will be the largest of Jose Andres’ restaurants yet and the Disney Parks Blog has actually said that it will open its doors in the “coming weeks.” For months, guests have watched the unique-looking dining location being built and it’s going to be beautiful when done.
Per the DPB:
The venue will bring the spirit and flavors of Spain to Disney Springs visitors via a freestanding, two-story building with a design that was strongly influenced by the artichoke – a vegetable native to Andrés’ homeland. While I could never quite figure out exactly what to do with the beautiful food, renowned Spanish design firm Capella Garcia Arquitectura used it as their ultimate inspiration, working closely with José Andrés’ ThinkFoodGroup to ensure that every detail of the striking design was just right. In this rendition, an artichoke structure opens up with “petals” that form pergolas, seamlessly extending to the outdoors. With no solid walls, the space is completely open to the outside and features large windows that offer picturesque lake views and an impressive central courtyard that visually connects both floors. Juli Capella, principal for the design firm shared, “There are no cubic forms, no opaque walls, no straight lines: here reigns a plant-like organicism with its dynamic forms. An avant-garde, expressionist and welcoming architecture.”
