Good restuarants near Disney

[Disneyenthusiast]

I would like suggestions for decent restaurants near Disneyland and the Convention Center. Near enough to walk comfortably? We already know about the ones in Downtown Disney. How far is the Cheesecake Factory? Joe's Crab shack? No fast food. Thanks!

Joe's isn't within walking I don't think. I'm not sure though. Mimi's is nearby across Harbor, and I think Corner Bakery is too.

I just went through this exercise preparing for our upcoming trip. What worked best for me was to go to maps.live.com (Microsoft's mapping site), find our hotel, and search for "restaurant". It basically shows you all the nearby restaurants sorted by distance from the current map view. It was very helpful. You can also create a "collection" of places and print that out with the map. So, now I'm armed with a list of places to eat while we're there (8 days! ).

As far as being "good" restaurants, I'm not too sure. From what I can tell, Mimi's is pretty well regarded and I'm hoping a little Mexican place called Alerto's works out. I've heard very bad things about the IHOP across from the entrance. Anyway, we're looking for places within walking distance from our hotel (Park Vue Inn) right across the street from Disneyland.

I hope this helps!

We love Mimi's and Joe's Crabshack.

However, I'm super excited that Bubba Gumps and Cheesecake Factory are now open at the new mall.
