My Disneyland dining reviews, with pictures

[DLFan123]

Holy cow, I just looked through all 188 pages and I'm SO EXCITED that there is a cheese Monte Cristo!! As a vegetarian I've never had one before, but that sounds delicious! I can't wait!

We love the cheese monte cristo at DL. You can only get it at the French Market; I wish they'd offer it at Blue Bayou as well. A warning-it is huge and so filling. I eat a lot and splitting it with another person, we still have almost half the sandwich left and are stuffed/feeling ill. It is best to eat this when you can rest afterwards. It seems like it overloads you with so much cholesterol, sodium, fat etc, that it takes all your body's energy just to handle it. But it's so good it is worth it.

Actually it's Cafe Orleans where you can get the cheese Monte Cristo. I'm not sure how anyone can eat a whole one vegetarian or otherwise, they are just so filling, but oh so good!

Oops! You are correct! Sorry about the incorrect information...

OK, better late than never ; here are the pics I managed to take on my trip last month:

From Pacific Wharf in DCA...soft, fresh sourdough bread bowl with clam chowder. The chowder was good, but there were hardly any clams in it...that's ok, because the bread bowl was the real star here, it was so fresh that it was still warm. I'd never eaten at Pacific Wharf before, and after having one of their bread bowls, well...I won't be getting any of the hit-or-miss (they could be fresh, they could be rock-hard) bread bowls in Disneyland.

HUGE Christmas tree cupcake from Candy Palace on Main Street...this was better than I expected it to be; I got it mainly because it was cute, but it was surprisingly fresh for a pre-packaged baked good. The cake portion was a nice light texture & the frosting actually tasted like butter, rather than the usual "no-flavor" that decorative frosting tends to have.

Wonderfully delicious chiliburger from the Hungry Bear in Critter Country. You know how alot of times chili on a burger is just an afterthought? Well, this chili was good enough to eat all by itsself, and was just the perfect amount of spicy (I hate bland chili!). The bun was freshly baked & the onion rings were A-MAZE-ING Props to whoever came up with the new Hungry Bear menu, and the people who prepare the food there; since the menu change, I've had nothing but delicious meals there!

Also from the Hungry Bear: fried green tomato sandwich, with sweet potato fries. This is part of the reason that I didn't take that many food pictures whilst in the Park this time around: because I ate this meal on 3 seperate occasions...I like it THAT much The fried tomatoes are paired with fresh heirloom tomatoes, which keeps the sandwich from being dry. The slaw adds a tangy flavor, the bread is fresh & yummy, and the sauce ties it all together perfectly. If you've been thinking of trying this, please do next time...you'll be glad you did

I expected to take more food pics on this trip, but due to getting the same meal 3 different times & eating outside the Park on a few nights, this is all I got.

Yum! Now we have to try a bread bowl on our trip! My dd saw the soup picture and fell in love. Thanks for sharing.

I just wanted to post a big thank you to everyone who has contributed to this thread.

Because of you, I tried and enjoyed so many of the foods, and resturants recomended that we did not have one bad meal at all. Plus my DH and our group really enjoyed the food.

From the turkey sandwich on pretzel bread, to the potato soup, the BB short ribs and gumbo, to the wonderful dole whip that I tried, it was all good.

Compared to our last trip to DL in 2005, this time I really felt, because of this thread and all your hard work in contributions, that we really got a wide variety of tastes.

So thank you DISérs.

The soup bowl was great! We had the broccoli and cheese at the Pacific Wharf, and the bread especially is delicious.
Also, check out the La Brea Bakery (pretty sure that's the name) in DD. They also have a scrumptious bread bowl, and the chicken noodle was yummy!

No photos to add. but without going through 189 pages, does anyone have a photo of the tofu/rice from the asian place in DCA?

I haven't seen any but I was reading in a trip report recently that it was really tasty but the pieces were cut a bit larger than she might like. Once she cut them she no longer had a problem.

That is very helpful. My daughter was concerned that tofu would be too large...looks like they might be.

This is the post I saw it in. I was wrong there is a picture.

excerpted from my PTR....

I was quite impressed with Naples Ristorante when I went to the VGC for my spa day (which I still have one left) and Arline was interested in going there, so even though I knew Fran really didn’t want to go there, we did. We didn’t want a lot of food because we knew that tonight there would be plenty, however, we were ravenous and needed something. I suggested that we split a pizza or a Calamari appetizer. Arline wanted a Caesar Salad, so we opted for the salad split between us and a Calamari. They also brought us bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

I didn't go through this entire thread, but I would love to know where to get a turkey sandwich on pretzel bread! Please tell!

We are going for the first time in April and have not started planning anything yet! We prefer counter service food so that we don't have to take much time out of our day to eat and it's cheaper!

Carnation cafe on main street. However it is closed for referb and expansion until Summer

Not sure where else you could get that sandwich within the park.

I was already planning to eat at both Pacific Wharf and Hungry Bear, and now after seeing your photos I'm more excited than ever. Good thing I leave in 10 days! Thanks for sharing the pics.

[vettegirl]

Wow that chicken baked potato looks amazing!!

 

[KittyKat1978]

What kind of sauce is on the Chicken fusilli from Pizza Port? It looks like a cheese sauce?

 

[sonnyjane]

Yeah it's basically an alfredo. The menu describes it as: "Fusilli pasta tossed with seasoned grilled chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic and Parmesan cream sauce with a touch of fresh basil"

It's SOOO good. Poohs100AcreWood basically just posted pics of all my favorite dishes in the park lol! Hungry Bear, the BBQ potato, the fusilli, the marshmallow skewers.... OMG this is the worst thread ever right now. I've been on a special temporary medical diet for two weeks and all I'm allowed is basically fresh fruits, veggies, and raw nuts lol. I am DYING to go eat all this junk once it's over in another week or two!!!
