Top 10 Disney Restaurants
Be Their Guest! Trust us, it'll be magical! Join MsMojo as we count down our picks for the Top 10 Disney Restaurants
For this list, we're focusing exclusively on Disney's table service and buffet experiences, basing our selection on each one's atmosphere and guest reception. Restaurants inside the theme parks are fine; however we are excluding venues that are only open to select patrons, such as Disneyland's Club 33.
#10: Blue Bayou Locations: Disneyland, Disneyland Paris, Tokyo Disneyland
Found within the same showrooms as the "Pirates of the Caribbean" attractions, this restaurant engulfs guests in a beautiful evening setting complete with the sights, sounds, and smells of New Orleans. Created as a response to the initial criticisms of Disneyland's food quality, the original Blue Bayou was conversely renowned for its gourmet styled Cajun dishes, customer service, and creative experience. The restaurants have since become major attractions in their own right, with park management advising guests to book dinner reservations anywhere from a week to three months in advance.
#9: Le Cellier Steakhouse Location: Epcot Center
Top 10 Disney Rides & Attractions We Miss
Nestled neatly at the heart of the Canada pavilion at Epcot's World Showcase, this chateau-themed restaurant gives guests a taste of Canadian cuisine while surrounding them in a beautifully detailed and decorated wine cellar. Serving an array of Canadian favorites sprinkled with some Disney magic and a hint of modernity, this restaurant's dishes and design, like its park, are a beautiful fusion of classic and contemporary. As if the mouthwatering food and ambiance wasn't enough, Le Cellier also offers popular Canadian wines and beer – for those of you of legal age, of course!

Despite its name, this restaurant is in fact located in Florida's DisneyWorld.
