My Disneyland dining reviews, with pictures

[VegasMike21]

Thanks for the reviews. Always good to hear thoughts on the food and prices.

I've never eaten at the French Market Cafe, but it sounds good.

We love the Taste Pilot's Grill. One of our favorite places to eat while in DCA. And I usually get that chicken sandwich. The toppings bar is really nice, and I love to get some BBQ sauce to dip those criss cut fries in. They give you a ton of fries too!

I ordered the chicken and apple salad from the Pacific Wharf Cafe once and was really disappointed. Like you said, there wasn't much "salad" to it. And whatever dressing they used on it, made my bread really soggy. Which wasn't good because I like to eat the bread.

I much prefer the bread bowl soups. Those are sooo good! And of course, we always have to buy a sourdough Mickey.
I didn't know there is a website you can order from. I'll have to check that out.

Anyway, thanks again for the reviews.

the website is http://www.boudinbakery.com But of course it's very expensive and you have to have it shipped 2nd day FedEx which makes it more expensive believe it was like $40 for (6) 1lb. Sourdough Rounds. But ohhh the bread tastes just soooo good, especially when you heat it up in the oven!

OMG, I can't even imagine that bread nice and warm from the oven....

DH and I always joke that we are going to sneak some butter in one of these days and just sit and eat bread and tortillas.

Thanks for the link.

Did this with the bread & chowder combo to send to my friend in WA. Her family just got it Thursday and they liked it a lot. Said it wasn't quite the same, but that a lot of that was probably because of the lack of Disney atmosphere.

There's no reason to sneak butter in. Just go to the counter and ask for it. They have the individual foil-wrapped packs, and they'll give you a bunch. We always do this when we have a birthday in our party and we get the free sack of tortillas.

Anywhoo, I will happily explain Mexican food to you! (In exchange for you explaining treacle tart to me.)

Thanks for the explanation, I remember eating a burrito now when I visited San Diego a few years ago. I remember then thinking that English versions of Mexican food and American versions of Mexican food are very different! Our Mexican food is very spicy, lots of chillies etc and less guacamole.

A treacle tart is is like a pastry cake made with sponge and treacle (treacle is like runny toffee/honey). You line a cake tin with pastry, fill in the sponge/treacle mixture and then bake. The cake comes out really moist and yummy!! I usually serve it with some yummy custard!!

Treacle sounds wonderful.

Yowzaa!

[perlster]

wow that looks good

Let me assure you - it (the funnel cake) tasted as good as it looked!
(That may be partially due to the fact that I didn't pay for anything that day at DCA)

Your welcome!! Actually my 1st American visit was to Arizona. We stayed in Kingman with a friend (after a few days in Las Vegas), then we went to stay with her mum in San Diego. I guess I didn't eat Mexican food at my friends place in Arizona!!
I remember the year before when my friends came to stay with me in England the 1st thing she wanted was a meal from the local Indian takeaway. She said she had heard so much about English Indian food and couldn't get a decent curry where she lived! Luckily our local Indian restaurant is very good!!

I cannot wait to have English Indian food! And English pub food!!!
I'm hoping to make it out there in 2010! I just love the UK.

Some pics from Wine Country Trattoria. I thought the food was very good here, and I'd definitely go back.

Chicken Alfredo Lasagna (layers of tender pasta, citrus marinated chicken, spinach and Italian cheeses with a creamy Alfredo sauce) which was very good. When they first served it I thought the portion seemed on the small side, but it was really very filling. 3 of the others I was with ordered it as well, and as far as I know they all liked it. So a thumbs up for that dish.

The Lasagna Rustica (robust meat sauce layered with tender pasta, Italian sausage, ricotta and Parmesan cheeses, herbs, and a touch of classic bechamel cream). The person who ordered this said it was good.

Kids PB&J, which wasn't served as cute as they do it at Carnation Cafe. Although the bread was in Mickey shapes which was a nice touch.

mommaU4; your pics look great! I hope they taste as good as they look when I go in August.

Thanks. The first one came out blurry for some reason. Oh well. Here are some more.

Treats from Pooh's corner. Toffee and chocolate covered pretzel. Chocolate dipped strawberry. And a Apple Pie Caramel apple. That was so GOOD! I am not a fan of caramel apples usually because they do a number on my teeth, but this wasn't bad and it tasted heavenly. LOL
