If you've come this far, you already know that the magic of Disney doesn't end the moment you get off the Space Mountain roller coaster or finish singing "It's a Small World" (and I'm sorry if the song is now stuck in your head for the next two days). The equally important, and sometimes even the most exciting, part of the trip is the food. So before you dive into My comprehensive guide to Disneyland Paris, it's time to talk about what really interests us: where to eat, how much it costs, and how the hell do you manage to eat a croissant with Mickey Mouse?
- Reservations for the restaurants requested in the app must be made two months in advance.
- Kosher food is available (with 48-hour advance reservation) at all full-service restaurants in the park.
- You are allowed to bring snacks, water, and sandwiches into the park – which will significantly reduce the cost of the trip.
- Disney character meals are more expensive but provide a direct experience and access to the characters without lines.

The first and most important rule of all: book a place in advance!
I can't stress this enough. If there's one thing you should take away from this article, it's this sentence: Don't wait for the last minute! The popular restaurants at Disneyland (especially the full-service and character dining ones) fill up months in advance.
- How do you order? Through the official Disneyland Paris app. It's easy, convenient, and free.
- When do you order? my guests Disney Hotels Reservations can be made months in advance (from the time the hotel confirms the reservation). Visitors not staying at Disney hotels can reserve a table exactly two months (60 days) before the date of visit.
- What do we do if there is no space? Don't be desperate. People cancel reservations all the time. Check the app frequently, especially 24-48 hours before your visit.
Character Meals: Eat with Famous Princesses and Mice
Dining with Disney characters is an unforgettable experience for kids (and for us adults who want an Instagram photo with Goofy). Instead of standing in long lines at the park to take pictures, the characters simply walk between tables, giving hugs, signing diaries, and taking leisurely photos while you munch.
Auberge de Cendrillon (Cinderella Inn)
where: Disneyland Central Park (Fantasy Land).
style: Exquisite French food, table service.
The experience: This is the perfect place to meet the Disney princesses! The menu is very elegant (dishes like beef tenderloin, pumpkin soup, and desserts shaped like Cinderella's shoe). The price is high, but the experience is simply regal.
Plaza Gardens Restaurant (Plaza Gardens Cafe)
where: Disneyland Central Park (at the end of Main Street).
style: Festive all-you-can-eat buffet.
The experience: Here you will meet the classic characters (Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Winnie the Pooh and more). You can order a breakfast with characters (a very popular option to start the day) or dinner. The buffet offers a wide variety of meats, side dishes, salads and spectacular desserts.
The most decorated restaurants: when the decor is the main course
Disney is known for its attention to detail (Imagineering), and this is well reflected in their themed restaurants. Here are some of the restaurants you won't want to miss, both for the atmosphere and the menu.
Bistrot Chez Rémy (Remy's Bistro)
where: Walt Disney Studios Park.
The experience: One of the most sought-after restaurants! As soon as you enter, you “shrink” to the size of a mouse. The chairs are made of giant champagne corks, the tables are jam jar lids, and the umbrellas are made of cocktail sprinklers. The menu is classic French, and the must-order dish is of course – ratatouille.
Captain Jack's – Restaurant des Pirates (Captain Jack)
where: Disneyland Park (Adventureland).
The experience: A romantic and magical restaurant located *inside* the Pirates of the Caribbean facility. You sit in romantic darkness, next to flowing water, and watch the facility's boats pass by. The menu focuses on seafood, fish, and dishes with an exotic Caribbean twist. (A little tip: the place is very dark, so be prepared to turn on the flashlight on your phone to read the menu).
Walt's – An American Restaurant
where: Disneyland Park (Main Street USA).
The experience: An elegant restaurant that pays homage to the life and work of Walt Disney. It is decorated in a Victorian style and divided into rooms that represent the different “lands” of the park. The food is modern American (like a gourmet deconstructed burger or a luxurious mac and cheese). Ask for a table by the window for a spectacular view of the daily parade.
PYM Kitchen
where: Avengers Campus (Walt Disney Studios Park).
The experience: A buffet restaurant for Marvel fans! The gimmick here is the use of “Pim particles” (like Ant-Man’s) to enlarge and shrink the food. Here you will find giant pretzels the size of a steering wheel, opposite tiny mini-burgers. The desserts also play with proportions. A super fun and delicious experience for the whole family.
Kosher food at Disneyland Paris: everything you need to know
Keeping kosher while on vacation in France can be challenging, but Disneyland Paris offers several convenient solutions for religious and traditional travelers (updated for 2026).
1. Pre-order kosher dishes at the park restaurants
There are no restaurants at Disneyland that are completely kosher, but All restaurants that serve to the table (Table Service) in the park and Disney hotels can provide pre-packaged kosher meals (in the style of airplane containers, hermetically sealed with a kosher seal from the Lyon or Paris Beit Din).
איך זה עובד? It is mandatory to call the Disney reservation center at 01-60-30-40-50 (+ prefix 33 outside France) At least 48 hours in advance. Please note: If you order on the weekend (Friday noon to Monday morning), the reservation cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, call Thursday morning to be sure. The price for these dishes is relatively expensive, but it is a solution that allows you to sit in the theme restaurants with everyone.
2. Kosher food deliveries from Paris to Disneyland
A very popular and more affordable option for those who want fresh food (rather than frozen and heated). There are kosher restaurants in Paris that provide delivery service to the park gates or to your hotel. A well-known example is the restaurant It's Divine (Israeli-meat style: shawarma, schnitzels, hamburgers) that comes to you by prior arrangement. You can also use various delivery apps that come to the Marne-la-Vallee area (Serris/Val d'Europe).
3. Accommodation in hotels in the area and shopping at the nearby mall
The town adjacent to Disney, Serris, offers a huge shopping mall called Val d'Europe. Inside it is a huge Auchan supermarket where you can find a kosher department, fruits, vegetables and basic products. If you rent an apartment with a kitchen (Airbnb or apartment hotels like Adagio), you can cook for yourself and save a lot. In addition, there is an active Chabad house in the area that organizes Shabbat meals and provides food for Shabbat.
Eat cheaply (relatively): Quick Service restaurants
If you don't want to spend two hours on a meal or go broke, quick service restaurants are the solution. The food there is simpler, the lines can be long during rush hour, but the prices are reasonable.
- Earl of Sandwich: Located in Disney Village (the free area outside the parks). Considered the most affordable and delicious! Hot and rich sandwiches made from bread baked on site, salads and soups at completely fair prices.
- Hakuna Matata: In the central park (Adventureland). Light African-style food – spicy chicken pieces, rice, excellent sweet potato fries.
- Fuente del Oro Taqueria: In Central Park (Book Land). Fast Mexican food – tacos, fajitas, nachos and churros for dessert.
- Stark Factory: In Studio Park (Avengers Campus). Fresh pizzas (including vegetarian options), pastas and salads in an industrial atmosphere with Iron Man's Hulkbuster armor in the center of the room.
Tips from champions for saving and managing time
- Mobile Order: The Disney app allows you to order your food in advance at some quick-service restaurants, pay by credit card, and simply pick it up from a special counter. This saves you from having to stand in long lines.
- Bringing in outside food: Contrary to myth, you are absolutely allowed to bring food into Disneyland! Bring sandwiches, fruit, snacks, and water bottles (preferably thermal or reusable ones that you can fill at the park coolers). What is prohibited? Large rigid coolers, glassware, and alcohol. Eating snacks In line for the facilities You will save both time and money.
- Meal Plans: If you are booking a package through Disney that includes a hotel andTicketsIt is worth considering adding a “meal plan” (half board or full board). This often significantly reduces the cost of meals at expensive restaurants, and gives you peace of mind as you wander around the park without having to pull out your wallet every moment.
- Meal times: The French (and tourists) eat lunch around 12:30-14:00. If you eat early (11:30) or late (15:00), the restaurants will be emptier, the lines will be significantly shorter, and you will have an easier time getting a table.
So next time you book a flight and fantasize about Mickey Mouse, don't forget to reserve a seat for Ratatouille or some pirate captain. Planning ahead is key, and if you're looking for more tips, hotels in the area, or ticket explanations, don't forget to use theMy complete Disneyland Paris page.
