Just returned from the magic, we had Half Board Premium vouchers and here is where we ate in order......

1. California Grill - We all absolutely loved this place, the waiters treat you like your a king, and were very good with my little sister. The atmosphere is good, very quiet and relaxing. The dining is sooo nice and the views over the park are awesome! Food is of course amazing, and if your using Half Board Premium vouchers a real bargain. The price of the "Tinkerbell Menu" which is basically the same as the choices of the half board menu is 55 euros each, so your getting a great deal with the vouchers even more so once you factor in drinks.

9/10

2. Cafe Mickey - What can I say, great food, big portions, and characters roaming around. Its a good night, very fun with lots of clapping and music. Using the vouchers we were allowed to choose ANYTHING off the menu, even the extra pizza toppings were free!

8/10

3. Yacht Club - Nice atmosphere, good food although a lot of it is seafood, so beware if your not keen on fish etc.

7/10

4. Inventions - I really was expecting more from Inventions. To be honest if I had paid the 50 euros for my meal I would have felt ripped off. The characters are again present, but the kids were far more rowdy than in Cafe Mickey. We had our chairs knocked by running kids on multiple occasions. All the polite kids sat and waited patiently for the characters to come round to them, whereas a large table with about 10 kids on it, literally mugged Mickey and pals. Food was also a bit of a let down, yes it is all you can eat but I didn't think it was particularly special.

6/10


we will definitely get the Half Board Premium vouchers again, we ate in the best restaurants in DLRP for much less than we would have otherwise had to pay, good deal!

Just returned last week from DLRP (my sister and I, aged 16 and 21) and we had the Half Board Plus vouchers. We think they turned out to be great value and very easy to use. We had never eaten in any of the Disney restaurants before so didn't know what to expect.
The first night we had booked Blue lagoon, when we got there however my sister couldn't find anything she liked to eat! (she's quite a plain eater...) I was a bit gutted because I could have happily eaten everything on the menu, but I wanted us both to enjoy the meal so we apologised to the staff and slipped out.
We headed over to Walts, pretty hungry by this time, but it was closed! So we ended up in Plaza Gardens for the buffet. I have to say it's really disappointing, the only meal we didn't enjoy on the trip. The food was bland and disappointing, though the dessert selection was OK. Wish I had planned a bit better, but never mind.
After that we were determined not to waste our remaining vouchers. So when we returned to the hotel (New York) we booked lunch at the Lucky Nugget and a meal at Cafe Mickey at the concierge desk.
The second night we ate at Annette's Diner in Disney Village - what a difference! We loved the atmosphere and the skating staff. We got enough food for four people rather than two, and the onion burger I had was amaaazing. I wolfed it down! Afterwards we were so full we could barely walk round the village shops!
On the third day we had lunch in the Lucky Nugget, this was a great experience. The buffet is more varied and fresh than at Plaza Gardens, but of course the best thing is the characters! We saw 5 different characters, plus the band played on stage most of the time as well. I would recommend to everyone to go to the Lucky Nugget on a DLRP trip as the food is really good for a buffet and you get loads of time with the characters.
On the last night we went to Cafe Mickey. This wasnt included in the voucher list, but the vouchers are each worth 26 euro and the set menu at cafe Mickey is 30 euro so this was fine. There was a huge queue outside the door; since we had booked, we were about to walk straight past it then realised there was a sign saying this queue was for those who HAD made reservations! We ended up waiting in this queue for about 20 minutes. I work in the restaurant industry and I was pretty annoyed at this, it's not a good system. They are obviously overbooking, and a lot of people were getting ratty about it.
Once we got in we forgot any annoyance - just look at all the characters! lol we saw 8 characters during this meal including our favourite Stitch who we hadnt managed to see during the rest of the trip. Again food portions were very generous, the creme brulee was out of this world. My pasta however was very boring, i wouldnt recommend it. One problem we had in Cafe Mickey was the waiters trying to chat us up. When I was at the toilet three of them approached my sister and invited us to go out with them in Paris that night. She was pretty freaked out, because although she looks much older she is only 16. When I returned I gave them a firm no, and to be fair they left us alone after that. If we had been in Ibiza or soemthing this would be par for the course, but I don't think it's very appropriate in Disneyland personally. Aside from this the service was very good. Cafe Mickey is another must - the character dining offers great value if you are using vouchers.
next time we would like to try Walt's, and we will definitely use the vouchers again. Absolute favourite is the Lucky Nugget!

We have been to DLP in the beginn of January. We ate twice at the Rainforest Café. Both times it was exelent, much better than the buffet at Plaza Gardens. There it was overcrowded and the food was average. I was very disapointed because I've seen better times for that restaurant. We had to small snacks, one at Starbucks and one at Victorias. The coffie, the hot chocolate and the cockies are much better at Victorias than at Starbucks, and Victorias is cheaper too. Starbucks at Disney is overpriced and dirty. They don't clean the tables and the floor was sticky. I won't go there again.

We have eaten at every restaurant in the parks except Hakuna Matata, Agrabah and Pizza Planet as despite 5 visits in the last 3yrs and all different times of year have never seemed to find them open.  Personally we feel the better restaurants are better value for money, seems can easily spend £25 on junk food and money disappears fast!  We particularly like Walts (though only managed to get in once) and the one by the Pirates Ride (am disgusted with myself that I can't remember what it is called) - the creme brulee was to die for!  Lucky Nugget always a favourite as Tink gets to see some (B-list)  characters so doesn't rush and picks what she wants to eat so less waste and lots of vegetables/fruit.  Loved Auberge de Cendrillon, had Tink's 3rd birthday in there.  In Disney Village love Rainforest Cafe (though wish the toilets were bigger and cleaner), we have had mixed experiences at Cafe Mickey's, once we had appalling service and disappointing food but other times has been great. Only had takeout from Annette's and was terribly disorganised and confusing as to where to queue for what, but after reading good reviews above will try it on our next trip.  Maybe because we have been to so many so often I think we have had a bad experience in more than one, I got undercooked chicken+prawn kebabs in Planet Hollywood, though they did sort it out fine.  My problem is that I always drink decaf and never drink carbonated drinks so struggle with drinks at a lot of the restaurants (tend to take my own teabags and get them to give me hot water!)

Cable Car Bake Shop: a must for a yummy snack of cookies/muffins and the like!

Rainforest Cafe: Totally loved it here. Great service and great food, just like rainforest cafe in america! the theming is really nice too

Fuente del oro: great veggie fajitas and churros, nice to sit outside in the sun.

Annettes: I was really looking forward to eating here, I love diners! but i thought it was a let down. The burgers weren't as great as they could've been... The service was good and fast tho.

starbucks: classic starbucks, same as everywhere, nice frappacinos.

the one tip I would give would be: go for dinner early..I think it tends to get busy around 8 pm, whereas we always went to eat between 6 and 7 and never had to wait long to be seated.

What's the Agrabah Cafe like? What hot items do they normally have, i'm aware of all the salads, cous cous and such but have no idea what hot items they have in their buffet. Hoping to book a table for dinner on our july trip

For the hot food, they have the couscous (you have various meats: chicken, sausages, kebab... and vegetables). The other dishes vary slightly, but usually you'll find a fish dish, moussaka, pasta, meatballs...

Hope you enjoy it, it's one of my favourite places to eat!!

are the restaurant reviews of this thread are for the restaurants in Paris only? I am always in Paris for business but I only tried once or twice to eat in a restaurant there. I always stay in my room every time I am there.

We went in Feb this year on the "Eat for Free" offer staying at the Cheyenne. Sadly - as we were so cold and shattered we weren't that adventurous but and ate at the same place every day.

Breakfast at the Cheyenne was good - we went early and the only queue was for the juice dispenser.

Lunch - we ate at the Blockbuster Cafe both days - mainly as it wasn't busy and we couldn't bare the thought of burgers so the Croque Moissure (sorry - cannot spell it) meal; HUGE sandwich, bottle of pop, brioche shaped like Mickey and a packet of crisps looked great. Sandwich was amazingly good - so big my partner couldn't eat it all.  Neither of us could eat the crisps so took them with us. It was lovely having Jack Sparrow wandering around too.

Dinner - Cheyenne both nights - good buffet, lots of choice and everything was hot and there was minimal queuing. I imagine it helped that we ate early (as I said - shattered and wanted bed) so it wasn't too busy.

We plan to be more adventurous this time but I imagine we will greatly miss our "eat for free" vouchers.

Is the restaurant reviews of this thread is for the restaurant of Paris only. I am always in Paris for business but I only try once or twice to eat in a restaurant in that place. I always in my room.

they are for the restaurant's in the Disneyland Resort in Paris (ie. the two theme parks and the Disney Village), not central Paris itself

We were very disappointed with the food on offer in the parks.  We decided to treat the children to a meal in Walts and the service was dreadful - I had the plate containing my starter whisked away mid mouthful as presumably we were taking too long to eat and they wanted to shut for the day.  The children were not supplied with cutlery to eat their desserts and no waiting staff available to ask.  Would definitely not recommend and suggest that people avoid like the plague.

Rainforest Cafe was reasonable as was the Blue Lagoon, otherwise eat in the hotels.
