Cafe Orleans

August 10, 2010, 4:28am
Cafe Orleans is one of our favorite restaurants in the park. Not only do they have a variety of delicious dishes, but the location is excellent for multiple reasons.

By far the best dish at this lovely restaurant is the Gumbo, which includes chicken and andouille sausage.  The Gumbo is especially comforting when the weather is a bit on the chilly side.

Next, we have the Pomme Frites.  These are french fries tossed in a parmesan, garlic, and parsley with a Cajun remoulade dipping sauce.

Then there's their famous Monte Cristo, available both with meat and as vegetarian sandwiches.  One word of advice here: Don't ride any rollercoasters directly after eating this sandwich.  In fact, you may want to nap for awhile.

And finally, the Mickey beignets for dessert bring the entire meal home.

Cafe Orleans offers both indoor and outdoor seating.  Outdoor seating along the rail is a comfortable and convenient viewing location for the Fantasmic water show.
