OH. I think I remember that one. I heard the best quality restaurant is Club 33. But never having experienced it, I would have to say Blue Bayou. But one day I will go to Club 33.

I have not been to Club 33, I heard its great from some "people" in the industry. I have been to Blue Bayou two times and while I love the atmosphere, the food was a disapointment when I went. I want to go back to DL for the holidays and was looking for something good.

Hey dennis, apparently the newly-revamped Cafe Orleans is supposed to be very nice. Also, while not technically "in" the parks, if you want real good food, don't miss the Napa Rose at the Grand Californian, and (my personal fave) Granville's Steakhouse at the Disneyland Hotel.

Napa Rose does offer very fine cusine. But... :shock: for something that's affordable in the parks I would turn to the Blue Bayou :roll: as I'm sure everyone would
Do you think have enough time to go the bathroom before the next show?

Blue Bayou. Definately. The food is excellant, and the atmosphere of being right by Pirates of the Carribean is certainly magical.

Breakfast at the Riverbelle Terrace. The pancakes were just amazing my last trip. The time before the Cinnamon Roll was awesome, but it was only so-so the last trip.

Best part: Getting to watch RoA, Mark Twain, use real silverware and plates.

Blue Bayoo just stuffs way too many people in and rushes everything. The food is prepared already and while the atmosphere is nice, its pretty noisy really.

I LOVE the Blue Bayou for only two things, the atmosphere and Monte Cristo sandwich. Other that that, I think the food is overpriced for the quality of it.

My top choices are:
The Mexican Restaurant next to Big Thunder
Red Rocket's Pizza Port (The salads and Alfredo Chicken are great)

Yeah, the Chicken Fettucini Alfredo at Redd Rocket's Pizza Port is not only VERY good, but there's enough of it to feed 2 adults for under $10 (well, maybe get small salads, too)

Ok firstly, I know this thread was last posted on like 2 months ago, but I havent been posting on the forum long so I have a lot of stuff to read, sorry lol.

Ive only been to DL a couple of times so far, so I havent eaten in too many of the restaurants. I tried to get into the Blue Bayou when I was there a couple of weeks ago, but they were fully booked. I keep hearing good things about this Monte Cristo sandwich, so I was hoping to try it but nope, it wasnt to be that time :(

I did however eat at the Jazz Kitchen, which isnt actually inside DL its located in Downtown Disney, but I would highly recommend it for some excellent food and great service. I went there twice and was very pleased each time. The group of people I was with all had something different to eat & each person said how good their food was.

If you go there, try the Double Chocolate Bread Pudding.....OMG its amazing. A little tip though, share it with someone else as its way too much for one person, but well worth it.

They now sell the Monte Cristo sandwich at the French Market

Sweet! I always go to the French Market, so I'll definitely try it next time.

The last time I was at Disneyland, I tried to make reservations at Blue Bayou, but they were booked. But we did get in because they were doing walk-ins.

i think that the Blue Bayou in New Orleans Square is an awesome restaurant because it is inside of the Pirates of the Carribean ride and that ride is totally awesome! some more awesome restaurants in Disneyland are as follows: El Zocalo in Frontierland because they have great Mexican food and its ride next to Thunder Mountain so you can see the train go by, The Hungary Bear in Critter Country because their food is good and its right next to the water and right across the way from Tom Sawyer island and is kind of hidden so its not usually too crowded which is a pretty nice change, Pizza Port in Toomorrowland because its buffet style so you can eat a few pieces of pizza and their pieces are really big and food thats pretty tasty to the mouth (just remember its NOT all you can eat pizza!), The Bingal Barbeque in Adventureland because all of their food is a kabob with amazing sauce and its right across the way from Indiana Jones so you can eat their food while in line so you have something to do, and last but not least a pinoccio burger restaurant in Fantasyland with outstanding and big burgers and really good apple pies. :mickey:
I do stuff sometimes.
