Cafe Mickey - reviews

[DLPdaft]

We ate here on Thursday 7th October for dinner. DD had the kids meal with pizza, and I had the Pinocchio pasta. Both were okay, but lets face it you don't go to Cafe Mickey for the food . Our waiter was attentive, the only issue I had was that after he'd brought my coffee, he presented the bill before I'd asked for it, so he had to take it back when I gave him my shareholders card .

We had loads of character interaction as usual, in the couple of hours we were there, we saw 10 characters who all came upstairs as well as downstairs, and all of them except Chip n Dale and Captain Hook managed to make it round our table (Chip n Dale were needed for a birthday dance nearby ).

we ate here during our oct trip. i decided i would give the evening another go. this time we were seating in the conservatory. all but one of the characters made it to us i think. we saw chip and dale, minnie, mickey, stitch, captain hook and pluto

me and ash had a pizza to share and my mam had fish and chips. for dessert me and ash shared baloos tutti fruiti i think its called. is a fruit plate with chocolate sauce in a pineapple for dipping. it was really lovely and any chance to eat fruit at dlp is a bonus for me and ash lol

i still think we have better interaction during the day when there are less guests. i felt like the characters were a bit rushed but it was a hundred times better than our last evening here. ash really enjoyed it as she got to see stitch again.

We ate here Thursday 11th November 13.00

We weren't origionally going to eat here this holiday but DS begged and after our disappointing character experience at Inventions we caved in!!!!!
Within minutes of sitting down the boys were delighted to see Mickey.
There was a constant stream of characters including Baloo- who grabbed DH in a hilarious bear hug/tackle,(- the boys were giggling about it for days after) a very cheeky Chip and Dale and a playful Pluto- he kept creeping up on DS. They spent time with all of us- even though the place was packed and we all had a fun time.
The boys enjoyed the meal- meatballs from the kids menu

I just fancied the fish soup (it was so wet and cold out) - it was ok- nothing too get to enthusiastic about

It was a great place to escape from the horrific rain and wind and find some "Disney sunshine". OK its not the most stunning food but the kids ate well and had a happy time which after all is what it's all about!

We ate here on 18th November 2010
We arrived at 6pm upstairs in front of the big window overlooking the lake which was nice. The restaurant was empty & when Chip & Dale came out we had lots of interaction with them
We also had visits from Mickey, Smee, Minnie & Pluto. Mickey delivered DH's birthday cake which was a nice surprise.

Now to the food. We ordered
Garlic Mushrooms X2 - 7.50 each
Bagheeras Favourite (Lamb Confit) - 20.90
Little Mermaid (Seafood Risotto) - 20.90
Kids Meal - Omlette & Fried - 15.20
Cherry Coke - 3.50
Large Beer - 6.50
Birthday Cake - 25.00
Cappucinno - 2.90
Baileys Cappucino - 7.00

At the time we really enjoyed it but later on it came back to haunt us. We were all really sick all night & we think it was the mushrooms as that's what we all had eaten. I don't think I'll ever eat a mushroom again.

And then as we went to leave we realised our buggy had been stolen. We had parked it up inside the restaurant in the designated buggy park area but it obviously wasn't a secure area. We did notice that there was no room for any more buggies there and a lot of people had just left theirs parked up outside. The manager organised a rental buggy & took dh to the shop to get a blanket & umbrella.

If I'd have known how things would have turned out we would have eaten at Annette's diner again.

We were seated in the terrace area downstairs on Sunday 7th November 2010, and had a very nice waitress (phew, no creepy waiters like last year). The restaurant was very busy with LOTS of birthdays, the waitress said they had 15 that night. We got loads of characters though – Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Stitch, Gideon, Pluto, Tigger and Chip and Dale.

My mum and I shared a nice bottle of rose wine, we were pleasantly surprised by the wine prices everywhere at DLP, we had expected it to be really expensive but it was just about the same as a restaurant at home, 5 euros for a large glass. I had the Ariel’s Delight (or something to that effect) seafood dish, it came out looking a bit messy on the plate but tasted lovely, really nice risotto with salmon, cod and prawns. The fish was all cooked perfectly.
My sister had carbonara which was a massive portion, and my mum had Fish and Chips which she found to be too oily. She is a really really fussy eater though (isn’t it supposed to be the kids who are fussy?!) and thought most things were too oily or too something all week, so actually the fish and chips were probably fine!
The lovely family next to us were kind enough to give us some of their daughter's birthday cake, so we didn’t need desserts. The cake is really delicious!

We enjoyed Café Mickey, a great start to a week of fantastic meals, and it was made even better by befriending this lovely family and sharing a little in the great character moments with their kids.

We ate here on Mon 17th January 2011.
We had made a reservation over the phone before we arrived for 6.30pm. We got there at 6.25pm and probably only waited 5mins so were seated on time! We were seated upstairs and had a very nice waiter, he was very patient because we took ages choosing what to have!
I asked if I could have a childrens meal (because I didnt really want a large meal) and they let me have it no problems!
So I had the Chicken fingers (which came with chips but on re reading the menu have seen it should of come with Jacket pot )
My son (who is 2) had the Kids Pizza
My Husband had the fish and chips
My sister had the Turkey Escalope
Her boyfriend had the lasagne
Also on the order was garlic bread, a beer, lemonade, mine and DS kids drinks, and two puddings (i think the brownie was one and the almond ice cream another ??) Me and DS had the kids buffet cart pudding which was yummy things like brownies, marshmallow, sweets, fruit, chocolate moose.
the bill came to 120 euros which I didnt think was that bad really, although I did think 6 euros for a beer was steep!
We all enjoyed our meals and said we would deffo eat there again, my hubbie thought his fish and chips was a bit small but maybe he just has a big appetite
What I loved most about Cafe Mickey was that they did not rush you at all, It was busy but we saw all of the characters that were there (mickey, minnie, pluto, goofy, stich, eeyore, mr smee, captain hook) they all spent lots of time with us making a fuss of everyone, some of the characters came round twice which was fab! We were in there just over 2 hours.

We would deffo eat here again and next time would like to try breakfast in there to!

We did the character breakfast on Wed 19th January.
The buffet was ok, the selection was very similar to the buffet at Hotel New York, a few warm items, cold cuts, fruits, pains au chocolat, yoghurt etc.
Character interaction was amazing as there were only 5 tables occupied. The characters (Pluto, Mickey, Rabbit, Gepetto, Piniocchio) came around many times and were really funny although we were adults only.
I don't know how the place is when it's crowded but I recommend it highly for chracter interction at slower times.

We ate here on our last night Wednesday 9th February 11.We arrived at nearly 6pm without a reservation and with a lot of dicussion ammong the staff finally we were led to a table.

J my youngest Ds ordered off the childs menu....E16
He had the pasta,dessert buffet or it should really be named lots of sweeties buffet and a pineapple juice

Mac ordered Chip and Dales fish and chips off the main menu... E19.20
and had Coupe Fairly Nuts also off the main menu...E8.70

Somehow when you are in Cafe Mickeys you forget all about taking photos of the food....sorry

Rod and myself ate off the E32 menu which included Starter,Mains and Dessert

Rod had Fantasia Mushrooms and I had Ceasar Salad
For Mains we both had Plutos Steak

I had ordered mine rare which was fine but Rod had ordered his Medium.It came out Blue so had to be sent back ,By the time it came back I had nearly finished.

For Dessert I had Creme Brulee which was delicious

and Rod had Woody's Campside chocolate which was a chooclate fondant with ice cream.

We met lots of characters

But unfortunately no Stitch

We also had a couple of beers and the kids had 2 drinks each and the bill came to a grand total of E142

We did feel rushed during our meal I wonder if it was because we had not booked and they hoped to reuse our table later.The steaks were not cooked to our order and I had finished by the time my Dh steak had been returned.Rod said his steak in Planet Hollywood was much much better.They also brought the wrong dessert to the table but the character interaction was as always very good.

So with all this taken aboard we rated Cafe Mickey 4 out of 5

We did this last day for lunch before taking Eurostar back to London it was loveley very quiet that day charactors were great we saw them twice and the pizza was loveley

 

[rubysparkles]

I had the Princess Aurora turkey escalope (it has three types of cheese and a tomato sauce too) with baked potato that had a sour cream filling and a proscitto crisp on top. It was ridiculously yummy, the turkey was good but the baked potato was the best. Mmmmmm.

My friend had the meatball pasta. Which was good too. The portion was really big!

I also had a long island iced tea, which was good. And a lovely peach cocktail too which was better which I didn't get a picture of.

The characters were great especially Captain Hook and Goofy kept getting up and dancing which was cool. My friend had the pictures of the characters on her camera, so just the food.

We are here on the 11th March for lunch.

As it was lunchtime DH and I weren't really hungry so we shared a pizza. DS ate from the childrens menu and also had pizza with dessert buffet.

I had the "Alices drink me" cocktail. I forgot the name of DH's cocktail but it was green! Both were lovely.

For dessert DH had the profiterole and I had the Café Gourmand - which had a small coffee, little chocolate crispy cake, amaretti biscuit and mini crème brûlée. The Crème brûlée was my favourite part!

We saw 6 characters - Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Donald, Friar Tuck and Eeyore. The character interaction was amazing.

Still my most favourite place to eat at DLP

 

[Isila]

Action took place 14th of March, 2011. Made a reservation for 18.15. cast: Me (29), my friend (29), my Ds (5), friend's DS (8).

At first they could not find my reservation. I knew I made it and it was there because I did check at my hotels concierge desk. Finally, they found it and showed our table. It wasn't packed, but people kept coming in and soon there were no free tables available.

We sat down, choose our meal and waited. It took some time before somebody took our orders. .. and it began.. Because of all the excitement I forgot to the photos of meals we had. But I can tell you it wasn't good nor tasty. In fact probably the worst taste meal we had on our trip. DS had kid's meniu - pizza, icecream and juice. I had Minnie's Classic Carbonara, friend had Pinocchio's Pasta and DS had the same pizze as my DS. And pasta's were really so so, wouldn't eat the same thing again.

Now about the happy things - the characters we met Pluto, Goofy, Mickey, Minnie, Peter Pan, Tic and Tac .....

I wouldn't go there again. Maybe just to see the characters, but not because of the food.

No trip to DLP is complete for me without a trip to Cafe Mickey, and Friday 18th March was our night . We were seated upstairs overlooking the lake a little earlier than our reservation at 8.20pm. We ordered a couple of pizzas to share, and some soft drinks, which arrived quickly and were tasty and filling.

On to the characters (Mr Smee and Sheriff of Nottingham were around too, but we didn't manage to stay long enough to meet them)

all the characters were great, lots of antics going on, Captain Hook sat down with us and Gepetto wouldn't leave us until he had hugged everyone and ruffled all our hair lol.

I had arranged a birthday cake here - and it was brilliant, my DN had no idea and she was over the moon when Mickey, Tigger and Eeyore got her and DD up to dance with them for ages -

I have to mention the Cafe Gourmand I had here - it was just up my street, a little biscotti, chocolate crisp, and the most amazing mini creme brulee with a coffee of my choice. Much better, in my opinion, than the one I had a Walts later in the trip. I polished off the lot!

We brought our entire birthday cake back to the hotel when we left Cafe Mickey. The total bill, for 2 adult pizzas, 3 soft drinks, and 2 adult desserts, with shareholders discount, was 45 euros. This was plenty of food for 3 of us, and it was a very enjoyable evening. The cake I had paid for beforehand (£22 if added to a Disney package, 25 euros if paid for in resort).

We ate here Thursday 12th May at 6.30pm. 2 adults and a 3 year old. we had booked a table, there was a massive line but we only had to wait about 10 minutes to be seated upstairs.

This was our 3rd time eating here but my first review.

Ds had the omlette and my friend and I both had seafood pasta, also a garlic bread with cheese to share, bottle of wine and the fruit chocolate fondue thing for pudding, bill was about 70 euros with the shareholder discount.

The food was fine although Joe's omlette was really good.

We saw Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, Chip and Dale, Smee, Gepetto, Tigger and Pinocchio.

Chip and Dale were really funny and stole Joe's pudding bowl with his Smarties and kept passing it back and forth above their heads.

Always love the atmosphere in Cafe Mickey....

 

[Disneymad1993]

We ate here on Thursday 23rd June 2011. We had a reservation for 7:30pm and arrived about 5mins beforehand and were seated within 10mins

Me and my friend both had the set menu for €32. Firstly the character interaction was fantasic Even though we were two 18yr olds (and we look older than 18 ) the characters were brill. My friend asked Mickey to give me a birthday card so he took it and started walking off with it !! Later on he came round again and saw we had no food so he rubbed his tummy , we also saw him just sit down at a family's table pretending to eat some food ! We saw Mickey, Minnie, Stitch, Pluto, Tigger (he was brill aswell he gave me a big hug when I told him he was my fav ), Goofy, Chip and then when Dale was coming around Chip came aswell so we got a pic with both of them!!

Food wise it was brilliant!! For starters I had the Caeser salad and my friend had Fantasia mushrooms. Both really enjoyed them but Tascha thought the mushrooms were a bit salty. (We nearly forgot to take a photo so you have a pic of half eaten starters )

For mains we both had Pluto's steak. We both asked for it very well done but Tascha's was still pink inside (she didn't mind eating it that way but it's not what she was used to), thankfully my steak was thinner so actually was well done!! But it was really nice

For desserts we both had Woody's Campside Chocolate! That dessert was heaven !! The fondue cake really was melt in your mouth and you had Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream on top . You could not have asked for a better dessert!!

I would definetly eat here again and it really is worth the money!!

We ate here on Wednesday 27 July 2011 and had a 7pm reservations. We were seated upstairs and need a table for 5. We were actually given a table for 4 with a chair pushed at the side for our youngest DS.

It took a while for our order to be taken and we didn't get our bread rolls like we normally do. However, we were entertained by the characters whilst we waited.

We ordered 3 pizzas to share and some fries. Pizzas 14.50E each plus topping, 4.50E. Lewis would have chosen pizza from the kids menu anyway so it seemed silly to waste 18E just on that. Our drinks came quite quickly, followed soon after by our dinner. Because we had quite a small table it was difficult to get everything on the table. I had to ask for some extra plates so that we could all share.

Some more characters - it's a shame they are not varied more often. It seems we always see the same ones in here.

We've done CM many times and know that the food/service are not what it's about. The characters were fantastic, and whilst not the best meal we had, the pizzas were really nice and we will definitely be back.

Been here three times since 2010. It's a great opportunity to have soms character interaction, especially since we're travelling as two adults without kids. Food is good to, yet a bit overpriced (to put it like this: you're paying not only for the food, but also for the character interaction). I had the Luigi's Lasanga Classico everytime and found it deliciously creamy and cheesy every time. Afterwards I've always treated myself to a crème brulée, they don't do it better anywhere then in France ofcourse.
Boyfriend had the Pluto's steak twice and once the fish and chips. Both filled him up enough and were tasty. He only took the fish the last time on our day of departure, had he known how good it was he probably would have opted for it sooner!
He had the chocolate moelleux for dessert after which he did not look forward to driving home the whole road anymore.

The princess aurora's choice (turkey with tomato sauce and three cheeses) seems yummy to tough, I think I'm gonna try that one out next time!

I would totally recommend this restaurant. The food is really good, hot and tasty, service is wonderful and the characters really make you feel the magic.

Lilo & Stitch soup:

Luigi's Lasanga Classico:

Pluto's Steak:

Crème Brulée:

I give up :

Fish and Chips:

Again lasanga for me. Already ate of it, sorry:

Moelleux au chocolat:

 

[kelliemc04]

We ate here on 20th Feb 12, 4Ad, 3Ch and 1 inf (age 2) he's a great eater so we ordered for him too.
I have to say the service here is diabolical and the food is "ok" for what your paying but the character interaction is so good its worth every penny and I will definitely go again (this was our 2nd visit).
Our bill came to 222 Euros (that included a birthday cake for 25 Euros). We ordered 2 Lasagnes, pinnochio pasta and a pizza which were all around 20 Euros each and a couple of portions of chips for the middlle of the table as i said before the food was ok. The kids meals were a whopping 18 Euros each, all 4 ordered Mickey pizza, they looked a bit cardboardy and a couple were burnt - not much got ate but that was the character distraction more than anything. We had the birthday cake for dessert. We also had a bottle of wine for us ladies and the men had a couple of pints each. We had Mickey Mouse, Minnie, Goofy, Tigger, Chip and Dale, Gepetto and the Genie, the kids loved it and I did too! It was for DS 4th birthday and Mickey made a huge fuss of him (DS favourite) and DS at one point flew into Mickeys arms and hugged him so tight and for so long I actually shed a tear. That in itself made the meal worthwhile. There had been hardly any characters in the park so this was a must for us and will continue to be x

 

[Vala]

Our visit at the end of April will definitely be the last.

They had lost our reservation again. That should have given me a hint.

First they served us totally burnt garlic bread. Had to complain until they took it back. When we got a new serving it was the same portion with the worst part scrapped off. Just... no. Sent it back too of course. They actually tried to charge us for it in the end.

The pasta was actually quite good, not as peppery as last time:

We skipped dessert in order to make it to Dreams.

I can confirm from reports of various threads that the number of characters has gone down, and the variety as well. We saw Eeyore, Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto and the sixth character escapes me at the moment.

Character pictures will be added shortly, boyfriend unfortunately took the wrong memory card with him this weekend.

Interaction was brief, quick photo and signature and gone they were. Not impressed at all.

Cafè Mickey did have several last chances with me, but this was definitely the very last one.
