Disneyland Restaurants - Prettiest Views?

[Marssiful]

I love eating at Hungry Bear. The view is really lovely.

Maybe I'm missing something. Isn't table service sit down? If so, New Orleans Cafe is definitely table service

I know this sounds like a silly question, but which of the restaurants throughout DL/DCA have the prettiest views. For our upcoming trip, we are letting everyone choose a restaurant, so we're doing Ariel's Grotto for DD, Goofy's Kitchen for DS, Napa Rose (without the kids) and Blue Bayou for me and DH... and my DM requested the restaurant with the prettiest view. For a reference point, her favorite restaurant at WDW is the California Grill. Great food, gorgeous views. I told her I don't think there is anything comparable at DL, but I figured there has to be something she would enjoy. So, which restaurants have nice views? Preferably with good food, too. (Table service only.)

We always eat dinner outside on the balcony of Carthay Circle during the fireworks on our last night. They even play the music on speakers. (We make a reservation that will have us eating dessert at fireworks time, and then we show up early, make a request for an outdoor table with fireworks view, and have a drink in the bar while we wait.

Can't believe no ones said the patio at New Orleans Cafe. We love sitting outside and people watching. You'll sometimes see princess Tiana or the Jazz band will be playing nearby. Fantastic atmosphere and the food is great (especially the beignets!!!)

It's Cafe Orleans actually, and no one disagreed with you. I'm not sure what you might have been missing. Yes, CO is TS (table service, which is sit down) however I think there are better views at RBT and HB which are CS, that is why I mentioned them. CO is a nice place to eat but the views are mostly people walking by.

That is an excellent strategy! I had no idea they piped the music in.
