I saw a lot before we went to Disney about pre-booking restaurants as they get so busy. As we'd never done this in our previous visits and since we didn't know when or where we wanted to eat, we didn't book our restaurants either this time.
Victoria's Home Style Restaurant
On arrival, as previously blogged, we went to Victoria's Home Style Restaurant and had a bacon and beef sandwich, a turkey sandwich and a curried potato and chicken salad (this was just like a potato salad with a curry sauce rather than just mayo, and some chicken). This was reasonably priced in my opinion, and a nice quiet restaurant. Menu for Victoria's Home Style Restaurant from DLP Guide
Beaver Creek Tavern and Hunters Grill
For our evening meal we decided to go to Beaver Creek Tavern for dinner as it was raining and this restaurant was in our hotel (Sequoia Lodge). This was a buffet and cost 32.99 euros per adult. Drinks were not included but we ordered tap water, which came in a bottle, which was free of charge and not frowned upon at all. The buffet had a wide range of food including prawns (in shell), smoked salmon, mozzarella and cherry tomatoes, salad, soup, chicken, pork, nuggets, pasta, meatballs, rice and so much more. There was also a large range of desserts including fruit tarts, waffles, pancakes, cheese and biscuits, fruit and more.
When we arrived we were asked if we had a reservation and when we said we didn't the woman was quite rude and said next time to book (it wasn't even busy!) On our other two visits we only booked one once but found we didn't need to as it as still quiet. On our last day we were going to eat here and made a booking but reservation slots were limited as I guess a lot of people wanted to eat in the hotel so they could pack, but in the end we ate elsewhere.
We ate here three our of four nights. Well, we ate at Beaver Creek Tavern 2 nights, and on the third night Beaver Creek was shut but Hunter's Grill was open instead and had the same sort of foods (they face each other on the ground floor of Sequoia Lodge)
The food was nice and there was a wide range to suit most peoples taste.
Disney Blockbuster Cafe
We ate here after Moteurs...Action! and after seeing Spider-Man. It was quiet in here (it was just after 3pm) and we had Croque-Monsier, a chicken salad (with chicken, swiss cheese cubes and egg), and drinks. The food was really good and the salad really fresh. This menu was also available at some other counter service restaurants in the park. Blockbuster Cafe - DLP Guide
Casey's Corner
Ate here for lunch before our Disneyland Park Tour as my Dad really fancied a hot dog. There was quite a wait here and we got three hotdogs between 4 of us and one portion of chips. This was ok but I'm not a fan of hot dog buns. Casey's Corner
Hypertension Cafe
We went in here after our Disneyland Park Tour for a drink (and to warm up). We had a drink and double Mickey cakes. These are a pack of 2 sponge cakes in the shape of Mickey, one was an almond like taste, and the other was chocolate. These were really nice and light and a great afternoon snack.
Rainforest Cafe
We went here on our last night. In fact is was our cheapest dinner as we only ate main meal and had tap water as we had eaten in the Golden Forest Lounge earlier (cakes and mini wraps). Laura and I had a burger, my Mum had a chicken burger and my Dad had a curry. The food was really nice and the atmosphere was lovely, although my Mum did make a good point that it must be really dusty in there with all the animals and leaves.
Golden Forest Lounge
As we upgraded to a Golden Forest room we had access to the lounge and between 4pm - 6pm each day they provide cakes and mini savory wraps. We went here on our last day and it was a lovely break from the park. The savoury mini wraps were smoked salmon and a horseradish cream cheese, a chicken mix and a Mexican pepper type mix. Cakes included madelines, brownies, choux buns and lovely truffle like things.
Cable Car Bake Shop
On the day we did Extra Magic Hours we didn't eat in the hotel, and instead did the meet and greets and then went to the Cable Car Bake Shop at 9.30am for croissants and drinks. The shop inside was shut, but they directed us to the outside window and allowed us to eat it inside the shop. This was perfect timing as everyone was coming into the park at 9.30am and going towards the castle so we had the store to ourselves. The croissants were lovely and fresh.
Toad Hall Restaurant
We ate here one lunchtime after we were advised by our tour guide about the fish and chips here. They offer salad instead of chips if you wish and as we were only there for lunch we decided to have salad. We had two fish and salad, and a chicken muffin and salad. The chicken muffin was a chicken burger in an english muffin like bun. This was really tasty and a good price, however the queues were huge and it took about 40 minutes to get served (counter service). Toad Hall Restaurant Menu - DLP Guide
Market House Deli
We went here twice, once for a drink early in the day when it was quiet, and the second time my parents got a Croque-Monsier to takeout and they ate with us at Victoria's Home Style Restaurant with it (which was fine as we were eating food from Victoria's Home Style Restaurant anyway).
Tea and Coffee In Disney
One of the things we found really disappointing was the hot drinks in Disney. Tea comes with hot milk, not cold. Their coffee was also awful, even in Starbucks! My Dad even said the coffee on Eurostar was better than in Disney. Coffee in the parks comes from a machine so I don't know how long the coffee has been in the machine but it wasn't great. It may have also been something to do with the milk.
That is the end of my 5 part Disneyland Paris blog. I hope you found it helpful/interesting. I loved our visit and hope to go back again soon!
