 | Overall Rating: 3 StarsOne of very few quick-service dining options in New Orleans Square, the French Market offers a mix of traditional New Orleans cuisine and American favourites in a charming corner cafe atmosphere. It's one of those restaurants that can give you a table-service feel for quick-service prices. |
Atmosphere: 3 Stars
The French Market is located next to the Haunted Mansion and the New Orleans Square Railroad station bordering a small garden area. Although the outdoor seating area is rather small the location makes it appear much larger while remaining quaint. It has the complete air of a corner cafe in the middle of the French Quarter, but if you go at the wrong time of day there will be almost nowhere to sit outside.
Food: 3 Stars
They offer some traditional Louisiana faire such as jambalaya and gumbo, but mostly they have more standard American cuisine with a cajun twist. For example, the French dip is topped with onions and served with cajun spiced potato chips - a great pairing! They have some unique desserts as well, something not offered at most quick-service restaurants in Disneyland. Usually they have the same 4 or 5 options, but the French Market has choices such as bread pudding or banana cheesecake.
Value: 4 Stars
The food is not the most amazing I've had and it can be difficult at certain times to get a fantastic seat, but for what you get the value is terrific! You'll pay a little bit more for the unique table-service like entree and dessert options but nowhere near as much as nearby establishments, like the Blue Bayou! Even if you're travelling on a budget you can afford to splurge one meal and come here and it will be worth your dollar.
