World of Food: The Disneyland Paris Food Blog

Fact-file Location: Disney Village Type of restaurant: Counter Service Cost: 12-14 euro for a meal featuring either crisps or a brownie. 8 euro for kids.  Option to reserve a table: No Character Dining: No I mentioned in my beginner's guide to Disney Village , that I loved the American version of this place and I was curious as to whether it's French counterpart could deliver. After all, the counter service restaurants in France are far more of a lottery than their American counterparts. That being said, I can say with pride that the food here is really good and the theming isn't half bad either. My family and I visited here on a Wednesday lunchtime and were able to find some seating on the top floor of the building. This floor was themed around an old fashioned library and had some really fun detailing amongst the ceiling and the walls. As a former literature student, I very much approved and it really made me smile.   That being said, our good fri...

Fact-File Location:  Disney Village Type of Restaurant: Counter Service Cost: 8-10 euro for an adult meal with a dessert. 5 euro for a children's meal. Option to reserve a table: No Character dining: No. Well what can I say? I decided to review McDonalds today but this isn't a normal maccies. It's a magical McDonalds at Disneyland. Well... it's not actually THAT magical. This restaurant is one of the least themed in the whole of the resort, in-fact for the large majority of you who have visited a McDonalds at least once in your life, this place will be very similar, if slightly larger and more French. Picture Source: Disneyland Paris That being said, with the name like McDonalds, there are some things you can trust. Firstly, you can expect your favourite dishes such as chicken nuggets, Big Macs, Fillet O Fish (although they call it the original name of McFish here) and McFlurry ice-creams. For breakfast, you can expect things like pancakes and McMuf...

Fact-File Location: Hotel Santa Fe Type of restaurant: Buffet Service Cost: 30 euro for an adult with a soft drink and 18 euro for a child. This restaurant is on the Hotel (Santa Fe only) and the Standard meal plan.  Option to reserve a table: Yes Character Dining: No. I couldn't review Chuck Wagon Cafe  without also having a look at La Cantina  could I? Think about it, they are both buffets, both the official restaurants at a value hotel and are both 20 minutes away from the Disney parks.  So what do I think of La Cantina ? Well La Cantina  in some ways shares some of the same problems of the hotel that houses it. It's cheap. Both pricewise, well for Disney standards anyway and presentation. Whether it's the iconic #PlasticPlates that are a regular topic of conversation when one discusses Santa Fe to the average effort of presentation of the food. It always has a small element that whips you out of the Disney experience, a reason I ranked Sant...

Fact-File Location: Hotel Cheyenne.  Type of restaurant: Buffet Service Cost: 30 euro for an adult with a soft drink and 17 euro for a child. This restaurant is also on the Hotel (guests at Hotel Cheyenne only) and Standard level of the meal plan.  Option to reserve a table: Yes Character Dining: No. If you plan to stay at the Hotel Cheyenne, you will be well acquainted with the Chuck Wagon Cafe, the home to your buffet breakfast (if you have chosen to add breakfast or paid for your meal plan) and most likely a place you'll stop off at arrival. The million dollar question then becomes if this place is worth the 20 minute trek from the main Disney parks and if so, why.  Picture Source: Disneyland Paris The easiest way to describe Chuck Wagon Cafe  is a buffet version of Cowboy Cookout Barbecue . Your hot protein items are going to be along the likes of whole chicken legs, BBQ ribs and sausages, all of which are beautifully cooked and full of ...
