French Market

Who: DeCambra

Where: French Market Restaurant

When: October 2007

What: Dinner - My husband ordered the rice and beans & cheesecake and I ordered the fried chicken, salad and apple pie

Approximate Price of Entrees: about $15 a person but we got dessert and salad

Rate the following (1-5, five being the best!)

Food: 5
Service: 5

Atmosphere: 4

Okay for Children: Excellent for children, they offer grapes or salad instead of fries or potatoes if you wish, plus they have milk, not just soda.
Okay for Couples: Excellent for couples, they have jazz bands playing and it's right in the middle of the rides

Be Sure to Try: The fried chicken is DELICIOUS! Plus they were able to accomodate me with mashed potatoes instead of fries.

General tips: They drown the salad in dressing so be sure to keep an eye out, but the Ranch dressing is the most delicious dressing I've ever tasted. And if you see a table grab it right away, this place fills up quick!!!

MouseForLess tips: If you get the fried chicken I would split it. They give you 3 huge pieces of fried chicken. I ate there when I was 6 months pregnant and I still couldn't finish all the food. Also, they don't care if you're an adult and get a kids meal, they're just the right amount.

Extra Comments: an A+ for this restaurant!!! Usually a long line though so get in line a.s.a.p. and have everyone else get a table. Since it is in the middle of everything if you don't like noise I wouldn't suggest eating here. It's right next to the bathroom and the train and the haunted mansion.

Rate the following (1-5, five being the best!)

Food: 5 - the fettucine was OUTSTANDING - the kind of meal that makes you say "I never expected something this good at a theme park!"
Service: 4 - buffeteria style, no waiters or anything.

Atmosphere: 4- outdoor seating under umbrellas, and the Royal Street Bachelors, a groovy Dixieland band, played.

Okay for Children: Yes - very kid friendly food.
Okay for Couples: Sure - either sit "out of the way" overlooking the New Orleans Square train station or up near the stage to hear the band.

Be Sure to Try: I'm telling you - the fettucine was outstanding. Also, my Mom ate the apple pie and said it was great.

General tips: I'm telling you - the fettucine was outstanding. Also, my Mom ate the apple pie and said it was great.

MouseForLess tips: I couldn't finish my fettucine - I could easily have shared that plate, but I'm not a huge eater.

Extra Comments: This might be my favorite Disneyland restaurant because of the entertainment and variety of food.
