10 Best Places To Eat In Disneyland Paris (And 6 I’d Skip)
At a Glance
For me, a few of the best places to eat in Disneyland Paris are Downtown at Disney Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel for dinner, La Table Lumière and Regal View for character dining, and Casa de Coco or Nordic Crowns Tavern for a quick meal in each park. Eating at Disneyland Paris with kids? Pizzeria Bella Notte and Royal Banquet are the easy wins.
Best for: First-timers deciding which restaurants deserve a reservation, families juggling a princess fan and a fussy eater, and couples after one special evening.
Where I’d Eat If It Were My First Trip All Over Again
There’s a cocktail at Captain Jack’s that I never got to drink. It arrived so frozen I couldn’t push a straw through the ice, and the hush puppies alongside it put up even more of a fight (I tried a knife; the knife lost).
Meanwhile, on the other side of the resort, there’s a bowl of mac and cheese at Downtown that I still think about on grey Tuesday afternoons.
That’s eating at Disneyland Paris in two plates.
Some of the best meals of your trip are waiting here, and so are a few you’ll still be grumbling about on the Eurostar home. When I first wrote this list, Regal View didn’t exist and Disney Adventure World was a very different park, so I’ve eaten my way round again (my bank statements would rather not discuss it).
Here’s where I’d send a friend on their first visit: my ten favourite restaurants, a handful of honourable mentions, the best picks with kids, the six I’ve stopped going to, and one Halloween surprise that made me eat my words.
The Shortlist At A Glance
Before we get into the good stuff (literally), here’s the whole top ten side by side.

| 5 | Royal Banquet | Disneyland Hotel | Meeting Mickey and Minnie | Yes, Mickey and Minnie | Head straight for the seafood |

| 7= | Nordic Crowns Tavern | World of Frozen, Disney Adventure World | Quick service | No | Quick service that feels like a sit-down meal |

The 10 Best Places To Eat In Disneyland Paris Right Now
1. Downtown: The Best Dinner At Disneyland Paris
If I could only eat one meal at Disneyland Paris for the rest of time, I’d be sitting at Downtown at Disney Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel. It serves the best food in the resort, full stop (that’s the mac and cheese pictured above, and yes, it tastes as good as it looks). The setting is sleek and superhero-themed without being too much, so it works just as well for a family celebration as it does for a grown-up night out with friends.
Order the truffle gnocchi and save room for the New York cheesecake. Trust me on the cheesecake.
My tip for Downtown: Reservations are essential, as this tiny restaurant fills up fast. Arrive a little early and have a drink in the hotel’s Skyline Bar first. I always order the Mystic Yellow cocktail.

2. La Table Lumière: The Best Character Dining At Disneyland Paris
Of every character restaurant I’ve tried, La Table Lumière inside the Disneyland Hotel is the best. It’s an à la carte restaurant serving fairytale-themed French cuisine, while Disney’s royal couples make a grand entrance around the room. You might see Cinderella and Prince Charming, or Beauty and the Beast. (Watching a whole room of grown adults sit up straighter when they walk in is half the entertainment.)
It’s really, really fancy, and the bill matches.
My tip for La Table Lumière: It’s the most expensive dining option at Disneyland Paris, so save it for a birthday, an anniversary or a once-in-a-lifetime treat.
🔗 La Table Lumière menu | 📌 My no-holds-barred review of La Table Lumière
3. Bistrot Chez Rémy: Dinner Inside The Film
No restaurant at Disneyland Paris recreates its film quite like Bistrot Chez Rémy, and for theming I’d put it at number one in the whole resort. You’re dining at Rémy’s scale: the chairs look like champagne bottle tops, the tables wear red checked cloths, and the oversized cocktail umbrellas are too cute to pass up.
The food divides people. Plenty of readers tell me they weren’t wowed, but I really like it, and I’d happily go back for the atmosphere alone.

4. Regal View: The Best Princess Breakfast At Disneyland Paris
Regal View Restaurant & Lounge really impressed me, and it’s the newest restaurant on this list. It’s bright and airy, the décor is lovely and the staff were great. At breakfast, the food tasted good and we met a lot of princesses. I’d go as far as to say it’s my favourite princess breakfast, or character breakfast full stop, in the resort.
I’ve done dinner here too, and it’s super fancy. I’m still torn on which I prefer, but for a first-timer’s princess fix, breakfast is where I’d start.
Regal View or Auberge de Cendrillon?
This one comes down to outfits. At Regal View, the princesses wear their adventure outfits. If your little one (or you!) has her heart set on classic ballroom gowns, Auberge de Cendrillon is the better pick. Just know it’s harder to book, and I’ve got a note for fussy-eater families further down.
🔗 Regal View menu | 📌 My full Regal View review
5. Royal Banquet: Mickey, Minnie And A Seafood Station
Royal Banquet at the Disneyland Hotel is where you can meet Mickey, Minnie and other favourite characters while working your way around a high-quality buffet (my recommendation: the fresh seafood).
For families it’s a highlight, because the kids get up close to both Mickey and Minnie without standing in a long queue in the park.

6. Walt’s: A Quieter, Nostalgic Night Out On Main Street
Walt’s – An American Restaurant is the one I’d book for a couples’ trip, or for a romantic little evening above the bustle of Main Street, U.S.A. The menu is pretty limited, but the décor and the nostalgia carry it. It’s especially lovely for more mature guests. It’s somewhere I’d take my dad.
Here’s my order. First, the three-wine flight (an extra €20, and money well spent). Then the Walt’s salad to start, the sea bass for main (which I thought was just OK, so you may want to try something else) and the lemon meringue tart for dessert.

7. Casa De Coco And Nordic Crowns Tavern: The Best Quick Service In Each Park
I went back and forth on this one, and I’m calling it a tie: one for each park.
Casa de Coco (Frontierland, Disneyland Park)
For a quick, affordable meal with some flair, Casa de Coco Restaurante de Familia is my favourite in Disneyland Park. The Coco-themed décor is a joy to sit in, and the burritos are delicious. Don’t miss the margarita slushies for a refreshing (alcoholic) treat!
Nordic Crowns Tavern (World of Frozen, Disney Adventure World)
Over in Disney Adventure World, Nordic Crowns Tavern has the edge. It’s quick service, but it feels much more like a sit-down meal: salmon with mashed potato, or meatballs (it’s a little bit IKEA, and I mean that as a compliment). It’s fast, and the theming is great.
8. The Hollywood Gardens Restaurant: The Prettiest Lunch In Disney Adventure World
The Hollywood Gardens Restaurant in World Premiere has a little something for everybody, which makes it a lifesaver when your group can’t agree on anything. And you can’t beat the atmosphere in there. It’s so pretty.
🔗 The Hollywood Gardens Restaurant menu
9. Pizzeria Bella Notte: The One That Pleases Everyone
I recommend Pizzeria Bella Notte in Fantasyland to every family I talk to. You’ll want to order the iconic Mickey-shaped pizza (it’s not gourmet, but it’s shaped like Mickey and that counts for a lot), and the prices are fair for the parks too. Even the picky eater in your group should find something here.
10. Billy Bob’s: My Favourite Comfort Buffet
The buffet at Billy Bob’s Country Western Saloon is my comfort place. After a long park day it’s easy to reach in Disney Village, there’s plenty of choice, and then there’s the dessert section, which I love. The red velvet cake is so good that I’ve stopped pretending I’m only having one slice.
If you’re trying to work out which meal goes on which day (and which park you’ll be in when hunger strikes), my Disneyland Paris Itinerary Guide takes you through the whole trip step by step, including the bits you haven’t thought to ask about yet.
5 Best Places To Eat In Disneyland Paris With Kids
If you’re travelling with little ones, these are the restaurants I’d point you to first:
- Pizzeria Bella Notte for the Mickey-shaped pizza that keeps everyone happy
- Royal Banquet to meet both Mickey and Minnie without a park queue
- Regal View for princesses at breakfast (or Auberge de Cendrillon if it has to be ball gowns)
- The Hollywood Gardens Restaurant when everyone wants something different
- PYM Kitchen for giant food that kids talk about for months (more on that below)
More Good Restaurants At Disneyland Paris (Honourable Mentions)
These didn’t quite make the top ten, but I’d never talk you out of them.
PYM Kitchen (Avengers Campus, Disney Adventure World)
For the most fun Disney-themed food in the resort, it’s PYM Kitchen. Some of the food is huge, some of it is tiny, drinks arrive in test tubes and beakers, and the whole meal has a personality of its own. You’ll enjoy it whether or not you know your Ant-Man from your Wasp. My kids loved it, and they still talk about the enormous burgers.
My tip for PYM Kitchen: It’s hugely popular with families, so book ahead if you can.
🔗 PYM Kitchen menu | 📌 Our PYM Kitchen full review
Agrabah Café (Adventureland, Disneyland Park)
Walking into Agrabah Café feels like stepping into a little Moroccan street café, and the ambience alone makes it worth a visit. The buffet is perfect for adventurous eaters and vegetarians, with lots of salads, hummus, couscous, vegetable dishes and flatbreads. Desserts aren’t its strong point, although there were a few fun themed ones (Halloween treats) when I last went.
Toad Hall Restaurant (Fantasyland, Disneyland Park)
Fish and chips in a cosy, storybook setting at prices that won’t leave you wincing. The kids’ meals are big enough for adults, too. Just note that Toad Hall only opens in busier seasons and closes early.
Cowboy Cookout Barbecue (Frontierland, Disneyland Park)
I once went to a BBQ restaurant and ordered the plant burger. (Ha! That’s me!) It was perfectly fine, and the carnivores in our party gave theirs two enthusiastic thumbs up. Cowboy Cookout has loads of indoor seating, so remember it on rainy days.
Hunter’s Grill (Disney’s Sequoia Lodge)
If you’re staying at Sequoia Lodge or visiting in winter, Hunter’s Grill is a cosy, lodge-style buffet. The cheese and potato raclette is out of this world (try it and thank me later!), but it’s only on in the colder months.
Disneyland Paris Restaurants That Are Closed Right Now
Two favourites are off the list for the moment, purely because you can’t eat there yet.
- Annette’s Diner (Disney Village): My favourite breakfast spot closed for a big refurbishment in January 2026, and there’s no reopening date yet.
- Plaza Gardens Restaurant (Main Street, U.S.A.): I really enjoy their character dinner. It’s closed for a major refurbishment and due back in 2027, with bookings open from April.
If you want to know the moment either one reopens, that’s exactly what Tuesday News Club is for.
6 Disneyland Paris Restaurants I’d Skip (Plus One Plot Twist)
Now for the part most guides leave out. These are the places that have let me down, and the rare situations where I’d still send you there.
| Restaurant | Where it is | What went wrong for me | I’d still go if… |
|---|---|---|---|
| Au Chalet de la Marionnette | Fantasyland, Disneyland Park | Cold fries, hard buns, dark room | You only want a peek at the Pinocchio décor |
| Captain Jack’s | Inside Pirates of the Caribbean | Frozen cocktail, rock-hard hush puppies | You’re a pirate fan there for the lush atmosphere |
| Auberge de Cendrillon | Fantasyland, Disneyland Park | Menu can be tricky for fussy eaters, and it’s hard to book | You’re mostly there for the princesses in ball gowns |
| McDonald’s | Disney Village | Long waits once the parks close | You don’t mind crowds and want a budget meal |
| Victoria’s Home-Style Restaurant | Main Street, U.S.A. | Seasonal desserts sell out fast, long queues | It’s a quieter season and you ask first |
| The Lucky Nugget Saloon | Frontierland, Disneyland Park | Rushed food, long waits for replacements | It’s Halloween (more on that below) |
1. Au Chalet De La Marionnette
The burgers here leave a lot to be desired. Cold fries, hard buns and a dark interior just don’t live up to Disney’s usual standards. Despite the adorable Pinocchio décor, I’d skip Au Chalet de la Marionnette and head elsewhere (Bella Notte is a short stroll away).
🔗 Au Chalet de la Marionnette menu
2. Captain Jack’s
The atmosphere at Captain Jack’s is fantastic, tucked inside the Pirates of the Caribbean ride itself. Unfortunately, the food is a letdown. You already know about my unreachable cocktail and the hush puppies I couldn’t get a knife through, never mind bite into.
Pirate fans will still love the setting, it’s gorgoues, no argument there. But go for the atmosphere and lower your expectations for the plate.
3. Auberge De Cendrillon (If You Have Fussy Eaters)
Auberge de Cendrillon is a beautiful experience for princess fans, with the classic ballroom gowns that Regal View doesn’t do. But the menu may not appeal to anyone who prefers simpler dishes, so if you’ve got a picky eater in the group (and you care how much they eat), I’d look elsewhere. It’s also one of the hardest tables in the resort to get (I’ve given up trying more than once), so if it’s a must for you, book as soon as you can.

4. McDonald’s In Disney Village
Disney Village’s rebuilt McDonald’s opened in February 2026 and is reported to be the biggest in the world. But once the parks close, it turns into a scrum. The food itself is OK (just a bit cold), but expect long queues and a battle for a seat at peak times. It’s not exactly ‘fast’ food when you’re waiting close to an hour for your meal.
If you don’t mind the crowds, it’s a shiny new space and still a really decent budget-friendly option for families.
🔗 McDonald’s Disney Village menu
5. Victoria’s Home-Style Restaurant
Unpopular opinion, because the food here is actually good. My problem? I’ve missed out on their famous seasonal desserts more than once because they sold out. (Finding out after queueing for 20 minutes is the worst!)
🔗 Victoria’s Home-Style Restaurant menu
6. The Lucky Nugget Saloon (Except At Halloween)
The Lucky Nugget Saloon is not one people rush to eat at, if you know what I mean. If you spot a queue outside, it’s because this sit-down restaurant asks you to order (and pay) at check-in, which isn’t ideal if there’s a big group ahead of you. Once inside, the slightly overpriced food is often rushed and, in our case, not even cooked properly. My children’s fish arrived still frozen in the middle, so we sent the plates back… and then waited a very long time for replacements.
The theming is fun and very Frontierland, but there are better places to eat.
Plot twist: The UN-lucky Nugget Saloon
For Halloween season (26 September to 1 November 2026), it becomes The UN-lucky Nugget Saloon, and it’s a completely different restaurant. I loved the atmosphere, the entertainment and the whole slightly spooky, tongue-in-cheek feel so much that I went back again this year. It’s one of the most memorable meals I’ve ever had in the parks, and this time I’d tell you to order the wedding cake. It was delicious.
So I’d still skip it the rest of the year, but at Halloween? Book it. My Halloween At Disneyland Paris Itinerary Guide shows you how to fit it into your day.

FAQs For Eating At Disneyland Paris
A few quick answers to the questions you ask me most:1. What is the best restaurant at Disneyland Paris?
For me it’s Downtown at Disney Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel. It serves the best food in the resort (the mac and cheese, truffle gnocchi and New York cheesecake are my picks), and reservations are essential.
2. Where are the best places to eat in Disneyland Paris with kids?
Pizzeria Bella Notte for Mickey-shaped pizza, Royal Banquet for meeting Mickey and Minnie, and Regal View for a princess breakfast. If you have a picky eater, my fussy eater guide has plenty more ideas.
3. Which Disneyland Paris restaurants let you meet characters?
La Table Lumière for royal couples, Regal View and Auberge de Cendrillon for princesses, and Royal Banquet for Mickey, Minnie and friends. All of them save you queueing for meet and greets in the park.
4. Is Regal View or Auberge de Cendrillon better for a princess breakfast?
Regal View is my favourite: bright, airy, great staff and lots of princesses. The princesses there wear adventure outfits, though, so if your little one wants classic ball gowns, Auberge de Cendrillon is the better pick.
5. What are the best restaurants in Disney Adventure World?
Bistrot Chez Rémy for theming, Regal View for character dining, and Nordic Crowns Tavern or The Hollywood Gardens Restaurant for a quick meal. PYM Kitchen is the most fun if you want food with a sense of humour.
6. Is Bistrot Chez Rémy worth booking?
For theming, it’s the best in the resort and the closest any restaurant gets to stepping into its film. The food divides people, but I really like it. My full review will help you decide.
7. What are the best Disneyland Paris restaurants for vegetarians?
The Hollywood Gardens Restaurant in Disney Adventure World does veggie nuggets, which is a rare find in the parks. For a sit-down buffet, Agrabah Café has lots of salads, hummus, couscous, vegetable dishes and flatbreads.
8. Is Annette’s Diner open?
Not yet. Annette’s Diner closed for a big refurbishment in January 2026 and there’s no reopening date so far. You can read more in my Annette’s Diner update.
9. Is The Lucky Nugget Saloon worth it?
For most of the year I’d skip it, as the food has been rushed and undercooked on my visits. At Halloween, though, it becomes The Unlucky Nugget Saloon, one of the most memorable meals I’ve had in the parks (order the wedding cake).
10. Is McDonald’s in Disney Village a good budget option?
It’s budget-friendly, but after the parks close the queues can stretch close to an hour and seats can be hard to find. Go earlier in the evening if you can.
Over To You (And Your Dinner Reservations)
If you remember one thing from this list, make it this: book Downtown for your big dinner, pick one character meal that matches who you’re travelling with (ball gowns or adventure outfits?), and keep Bella Notte, Casa de Coco and Nordic Crowns Tavern in your back pocket for the hungry moments in between. Do that, and you’ll eat better on your first trip than most people do on their third.
Restaurants here change more often than you’d think (this list looks very different from the first version), so I keep it updated as I eat my way round. If you’d like to hear the moment Annette’s or Plaza Gardens reopens, or a new menu lands, Tuesday News Club drops it straight into your inbox, and I’ll do the taste-testing so you don’t have to (sign up ⬇️).
