Good Eats – Cafe Orleans

Good Eats Cafe Orleans

Celebrate the spirit of Mardi Gras every day of the year at Café Orleans. On a charming shady corner in New Orleans Square, this table-service restaurant serves Creole-inspired cuisine. The authentic food and atmosphere just might make you think you’ve taken a trip to the French Quarter.

Menu

Café Orleans serves delicious food with a distinctive New Orleans flair for lunch and dinner, and seasonally for breakfast. Menu items range from shrimp salad and gumbo to crepes and the restaurant’s famous Monte Cristo sandwiches. Special menu items for the kids include a peanut butter and jelly version of the Monte Cristo. The signature Mickey-shaped beignets are great for dessert or an afternoon snack.

Monte Cristo Sandwich

The specialty of the house is, without a doubt, the Monte Cristo sandwich. Adapted from the French classic sandwich, croque-monsieur, the Monte Cristo sandwich appeared in California restaurants in the 1950s. Featured at Disneyland Park eateries since 1966, it has since become a coffee shop standard nationwide.

Location

When you meander down the narrow streets of New Orleans Square, you are transported into a genteel world of fragrant flowers and leisurely afternoons. Sit down and relax in the gracious dining room or on the shady patio as you watch the boats on Rivers of America glide by.

Close to two of the most popular attractions in Disneyland Park, Pirates of the Caribbean and the Haunted Mansion, it’s also a great place to dine before Fanstasmic! during the summer.

Good Eats Rancho del Zocalo

Bring all your amigos and indulge in classic Mexican cuisine on a beautiful bougainvillea-shaded hacienda patio. Exotic painted tiles, flowing fountains and stunning Mexican glass lanterns adorn the peaceful oasis. Sit back relax at this quick-service, fiesta-style restaurant.

The Menu

La Victoria, a California specialist in salsa and sauces since 1917, brings you the best dining north of the border. Entrees include citrus fire-grilled chicken, 4 cheese enchiladas, soft tacos, burritos and even a tostada salad. Don’t say “adios” without trying the Tres Leche cake, flan or chocolate praline cake.

History

“Rancho del Zocalo” translates to mean “Ranch of the Square” in English. The word “zocalo” has an interesting history at Disneyland Park. The open area at the entrance to Frontierland used to be called “El Zocalo” or “town square.”
