Vegetarian dining at Blue Bayou?

[Etoile]

I am a vegetarian and I've never been to Disneyland. Will there be anything I can eat at the Blue Bayou restaurant? I don't eat fish or seafood of any kind. I am also okay with eating off the kids menu, eg mac and cheese, if I have to. But it would be nice if there were adult entrees at Blue Bayou that I could eat! Does anybody know the answer to this?

I went for dinner with my wife and she is a vegetarian. We were really disappointed. They had a mushroom dish and she thought it was vile tasting. You get soup or salad with the meal, and the soup had meat in it. The salad has sausage in it, and the waiter acted like it would be the hardest thing in the entire world to make a salad without sausage on it. I wish we had gone for lunch- then she could have gotten the monte cristo!

they also do have kids entrees, but i have no idea if they let adults order from it.

We asked/tried this last year and they do not. They would scale an adult dinner down but it was an adult price. Not really set up for the veggin world.

We don't eat pork and have never had a problem ordering the salad without the sausage. We also always get the monte cristo made without the ham.

But it's true the only vegetarian meal is the Portobello Mushroom entree. This is the description: Portobello Mushroom and Couscous Maque Choux - Marinated in a balsamic vinaigrette, then broiled and served with roasted corn and bell-pepper couscous and sauteed spinach.

I've never personally ate it but my sister did and she didn't mention anything was wrong with it.

I've also never had a problem ordering off the kids menu.

I've had the mushroom dish, and thought is was too salty. I could only eat about half of it before it was just too gross.

I ate at the Blue Bayou in December, and when I asked about a vegetarian Monte Cristo, I was told they just pull the ham out of the ones that are already made (but pre-fried). I know some vegetarians are okay with things like that and others are disgusted by it, so I thought it was best to share the info. If you call Disney in advance and tell them your problem, it might be possible for them to make you the 3 cheese monte cristo, but I'm not sure if they do that anymore.

The portobello dish....DH liked it, but I think that the mistake I made was using too much of the vinegar put on the plate to look pretty, and I got over-vinegared.

They didn't have a problem keeping the sausage off of our salads (DH and I split an order, so we each had salads, our own plate, etc), though there was a teensy bit on my plate (but not DH's).

In the future, I'll just go for dessert, and have my fave vegetarian gumbo from Royal St Veranda beforehand!


Oh, and you don't want to touch the kid's mac and cheese. It's nuclear orange, tastes like vile plastic, and even my big-eating 3 year old boy wouldn't TOUCH it. I tasted it later, after we boxed it up and took it to go (figuring he was just overwhelmed too much to eat), and it was just...nasty.
