Table Service, Quick Service & the Snacks Worth Your Time
If you’re planning a trip to Disneyland Park, food deserves at least some strategy. Disneyland may be smaller than Disney World, but when it comes to dining, especially snacks, it absolutely holds its own.
This guide is your start here for eating well in Disneyland Park. I’m listing all table service and quick service restaurants, plus a deep snack list so you can decide what’s actually worth prioritizing.
You don’t need to eat everything. You just need to eat the right things.
Table Service Restaurants at Disneyland Park
There aren’t many table service restaurants in Disneyland Park, but the ones that exist lean heavily into atmosphere, nostalgia, and iconic dishes.
- Blue Bayou Restaurant
Dining inside Pirates of the Caribbean is as classic as it gets. Low lighting, water views, and an always-on Mardi Gras feel make this one about the experience as much as the food. Also as one of the original Walt-designed restaurants – it’s a must do!
What to know: Upon arrival ask for a table to watch boats drift by mid-meal.
- Café Orleans
If I had to recommend just one table service restaurant in Disneyland Park, this would be it.
Must-do: The Monte Cristo sandwich. It’s rich, indulgent, and absolutely worth it. Add the garlic parmesan frittes and don’t look back.
- Carnation Café
Right on Main Street, U.S.A., this is classic Disneyland dining. Great for breakfast or lunch and an easy win if you want table service without sacrificing too much park time.
- Plaza Inn
Plaza Inn is a hybrid. It offers both table service (including character dining at breakfast) and quick service options later in the day. Known for comfort food and generous portions. We loved meeting some not-so-seen characters at this location!
- River Belle Terrace
Southern-inspired dishes with indoor and outdoor seating along the Rivers of America. Often easier to book than other table service spots and a good mid-day reset. This one gets overlooked but I loved it! Such a beautiful atmosphere inside – you’ll feel like you are literally in New Orleans!
