Disney Dining: The Blue Bayou

This Post is Dedicated to a dear friend of mine Peter and his fiance Amber. Another great couple brought together by the Mouse. I wish you two the best.

Peter is a California Boy so i decided to do a post from his home park of Disneyland. The Blue Bayou Restaurant is one of my Favorite places to eat at Disneyland second only to Club 33. It comes as no surprise then that they share a kitchen as Club 33 is located directly above. My favorite feature to this restaurant is the theming. as soon as you walk inside regardless of the time of day you are instantly taken to the banks of the bayou on a warm summers evening. the tables are arranged on the patio of an old plantation house. and lanterns and mangrove trees branches hang above your head as you eat. And to top it all off the boats from Pirates of the Caribbean Pass by as you eat.

Below I have listed both the lunch and dinner entrees but my recommendation is to go for lunch and have the famous Monte Cristo. A masterpiece of Ham and turkey with Melted cheese goodness in a bread shell, it is easily my entree at the Disneyland Resort.
