This flagship restaurant of New Orleans Square is seen by all but experienced by a comparative few if you don't know how to plan for it.  From its amazing scenery to fine cuisine this picturesque place is a staple for me and a must do for you! ​UPDATED 29 May 2021

When Pixar Pier first opened this place promised to live up to the legacy of both Ariel's Grotto and the Cove Bar - and does it deliver! The food is playful and tasty, the drinks are imaginative and the atmosphere is trendy but totally Pixar. The hype is real and for a good reason!

In case you were wondering if there was anything inside the Carthay Circle Theater, the answer is yes. In fact it's the most elegant restaurant inside the parks at the Disneyland Resort. Every element of the experience transports you back to the heyday of Hollywood and makes you feel like a million bucks - but I promise you don't actually have to spend that much!

I've talked about the PCH Grill before, but the Surf's Up! breakfast is such a different experience from the rest of the day that it needs to be talked about separately. It's a great character dining option and can be more affordable than many others in the resort. Check it out if you want a tasty fun way to start your day!

The Catal Restaurant is at the heart of Downtown Disney - literally! It's delicious food and eclectic atmosphere couple with one-of-a-kind views to make this an easily overlooked, but still great, destination! Don't just walk by the next time you're at the Disneyland Resort.
