King Ludwig's Castle

Fact-file:

  • Location: Disney Village
  • Type of restaurant: Table Service
  • Cost: Approximately 36 euro for a set 3-course meal and a beer outside of happy hour. 
  • Option to reserve a table: Yes
  • Character Dining: No. 

Do you want to eat in the castle but are not willing to pay 75 euro a pop? King Ludwig is the place for you. Known for it's medieval atmosphere, great food and some of the cheapest alcoholic beverages in Disneyland Paris, it is a popular haunt for many a guest.

King Ludwig's Castle is actually made of 3 different elements. Firstly, as per Disney tradition, there is a shop. This contains a manor of weird and wonderful items and there is a surprisingly lack of Disney. 

Secondly there is a small bar which can be very popular between 5 and 7. This is because King Ludwig's Castle is the only bar in Disneyland Paris that offers a happy hour, which could save you anything from 1-2.5 euro per drink. In addition, for the heavy beer drinkers amongst you, you can get a 1 metre yard of beer for 30 euro. 

Last but no means least, the restaurant itself. King Ludwig's Castle specialises in German cuisine with a french twist. Think of foods like french onion soup, creme brulee, spatzle and you'll be on the right lines.

The restaurant itself looks exactly how I would imagine a royal banquet hall to look. Wooden tables and chairs are surrounded by some of the most imaginative decoration in Disneyland Paris. Tables regularly surround statues of daring nights, German chandeliers adorn the ceilings and all the walls are covered with art inspired by the medieval era. This, Rainforest Cafe and Cafe Mickey all share the honour of the best theming in Disney Village and Ludwig is the cheapest of the 3 without a meal plan.
Ever wanted to eat in a castle, thanks to the amazing creativity of the restaurant's designers, you can. Picture description: Family eating at a restaurant, to the families left , a statue of a knight and horse. Picture Source: Disneyland Paris


So what is the food like? I've personally never had any complaints when it comes to the savoury dishes. What makes this place stand out however, apart from the cheaper beverages, is their desserts. OMG. As a pudding fanatic, I can appreciate a good dessert and King Ludwig happens to be high on the 'best dessert' list. Their take on an apple strudel is freshly sliced apples on top of the crispiest filo pastry and then it's topped with the most fantastic caramel source. It is literally the stuff of royalty.

Overall King Ludwig's Castle is the perfect balance of value for money, great food and fantastic decoration. If you want to enjoy table service during your stay but don't have the meal vouchers, this is the option for you.

Final Score: 9.5/10

The Lucky Nugget Saloon

Fact-File Location: Disneyland Park/ Frontierland  Type of restaurant: Currently table service (I'll explain the currently in this review).  Cost: 23 euro for an adult combo meal, 13 euro for a children's meal and 8 euro for an afternoon treat. Option to reserve a table : No. Character Dining : Yes (signature experience only), Menus for anywhere change. This allows a fresh experience for the diners and thus allows more business for the restaurant. However, changing the type of restaurant you are is a completely different beast. During the last 5-10 years, The Lucky Nugget Saloon  has been a character dining buffet, a Tex-Mex buffet, a counter service eatery and now a table service restaurant that offers afternoon tea with the Disney characters.  This means that for the first time, I can't truly give you a 100% accurate review when it comes to the food because what I have personally experienced here, isn't recent enough to be justified with these new...

Cowboy Cookout Barbecue

Fact-file: Location: Frontierland/Disneyland Park Type of restaurant: Counter Service.  Cost: 13-16 euro for an adult combo meal, 9 euro for a children's meal and 6 euro for a coffee break. Option to reserve a table: No. Character Dining: No.  There is one counter service in Disneyland Park that is leaps and bounds above the rest. One that has some of the BEST food in the whole park for really good value. This honour belongs to Cowboy Cookout Barbecue . There are many reasons why I have a soft spot for this place. Firstly, it's atmosphere is one of, if not the best counter service in Disneyland Paris. It's a good old fashioned western barn on the outside and the inside is adorned with wooden chairs and benches. Cowboy Cookout looks amazing. I challenge anybody who says otherwise.
