  1. No. 1 New Orleans Square

    Blue Bayou Restaurant

    Dinner in permanent twilight beside the Pirates of the Caribbean boats, fireflies and all. The $34 Monte Cristo is lunch only, dinner entrees run $48 to $61, and a waterside table is worth asking for at check-in.

    Order The Monte Cristo at lunch

    Table service $$$about $56 a meal
    Book ahead
  2. No. 2 New Orleans Square

    Cafe Orleans

    The same famous Monte Cristo as Blue Bayou for $26, with pommes frites or a petite Caesar on the side. The best-value sit-down in the park, and the bourbon julep is the grown-up upgrade.

    Table service $$about $34 a meal
    Book ahead
  3. No. 3 Adventureland

    Bengal Barbecue

    Skewers grilled to order across from Indiana Jones, every one of them under $8. Two skewers cost about what a counter burger does, a Jungle Julep slush rounds it out, and the $5.79 garlic naan is the sleeper hit.

  4. No. 4 Star Wars Galaxy's Edge

    Ronto Roasters

  5. No. 5 New Orleans Square

    Tiana's Palace

    Tiana's own restaurant, a jazz-age supper club in looks, and it is a counter, not a sit-down. Shrimp and grits at $17.99 plus a $7.49 plate of beignets is the move, dessert first if you are brave.

    Plaza Inn

    The only character meal inside the park, a breakfast buffet with Minnie and friends at $58 per adult and $35 per kid ages 3 to 9. Skip the booking at lunch, when it turns into a walk-up counter serving a $21.99 fried chicken platter that has its own fan club.

  7. No. 7 Star Wars Galaxy's Edge

    Oga's Cantina

    The Black Spire cantina where DJ R-3X spins the tunes, mostly standing room with a few booths. The $20.50 Fuzzy Tauntaun numbs your lips on purpose, and the Grinning Loth-cat is the alcohol-free hit.

  8. No. 8 New Orleans Square

    Mint Julep Bar

    Tucked under the New Orleans Square train station, home of the Mickey-shaped beignets ($7.49 for three, $11.49 for six). The mint julep here is the non-alcoholic original, cold, green and very sweet.

    Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree

    The Country Bears took over the old Hungry Bear and turned it into a barbecue hall on the Rivers of America. The $22.99 combo platter feeds a hungry adult, the upstairs deck and the new riverside patio are the seats, and a Root Bear Float settles any argument.

Good to know before you eat at Disneyland

Oga's is walk-up now

Oga's Cantina stopped taking reservations in August 2025. Expect a standby wait, a visit of about 45 minutes and a limit of two alcoholic drinks per guest, and go right after park open or late at night for the shortest line.

Holiday season changes

The holiday season runs November 13, 2026 to January 6, 2027. The Plaza Inn adds a Christmas Fantasy Parade dining package (lunch plus reserved parade viewing) on select dates of the season. The busiest holiday weeks are skipped, so check Disney's package page for your date before you plan around it.

Hungry Bear has a new patio

Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree opened a new ground-floor patio along the Rivers of America in late October 2026, adding more than 80 seats beneath and beside the upstairs deck. The construction walls are gone and the old riverside walkway is open again.

Dinner with Fantasmic

Fantasmic dining packages pair a meal with reserved viewing for the show. Check Disney's Fantasmic dining page for which restaurants offer one on your date, and book as early as you can.
