Review: Disneyland’s Beauty and the Beast-themed Red Rose Taverne

Red Rose Taverne is a quick service restaurant located in Fantasyland in Disneyland. We’ve reviewed this Beauty and the Beast-themed eatery a few times over the years but it yet again received several menu updates so it’s time to take a fresh look. In the last year, 95% of TouringPlans readers give Red Rose Taverne a thumbs up rating, which gives ranks it high among other dining locations in the park. Is it that good? Keep reading to find out.

The Gaston Burger is a monster packed with a beef patty, pastrami, cheese, pickles, sautéed onions, bell peppers and pepperoncini burger sauce. It also includes a side of fries. The beef patty itself is a standard theme park burger meat, but all of the other items do put it way above the rest of the quick service burgers in Disneyland.

Here’s a cross section. The sautéed onions, bell peppers and pepperoncini burger sauce give the Gaston Burger a great taste. The cost is $18.49, so you will pay a premium for this one compared to other burgers at Disneyland.

Think of Chicken Fantasyland Faire Fold as Disney’s version of Taco Bell’s Crunch Wrap. The fold includes a flour tortilla filled with a chicken patty, a hash brown, cheese and pickle aïoli. It’s good, filling, and one of the more unique items available in Disneyland.

A Breakfast Fantasyland Faire Fold is also available from Red Rose’s opening time until 11:00 AM daily. It includes a flour tortilla filled with cheese, a hash Brown, egg, bacon, sausage and creamy aïoli. This is a tasty and hearty breakfast, and is easily my favorite breakfast item in the park.

They don’t skimp on the ingredients in the Breakfast Fantasyland Faire Fold. This thing is packed.

Red Rose’s menu always has a variety of flatbreads on the menu. Usually there’s cheese or pepperoni flatbreads for $10.49, as well as a seasonal option that changes regularly. My one complaint is that the flatbreads are flimsy every time I’ve gotten them. In terms of pizza, this is much better than the pies served over at Alien Pizza Planet.

For dessert, there’s the Grey Stuff for $7.29. I was expecting this to be sickeningly sweet, but was pleasantly surprised to find it smooth, not too sweet, and overall very tasty. The cookies and cream-flavored frosting compliments the red velvet cake inside and I especially enjoyed the drop of raspberry filling. Overall a great dessert.

Seasonal Grey Stuff versions come and go throughout the year, such as a this spooky Halloween variation or “Spring Stuff” around Easter.

Before I wrap this up let’s take a look around the restaurant.

Indoor and outdoor seating is available.

Gaston, antlers, you know the drill.

Back when this location was known as Pinocchio Village Haus, the famous off-center exit sign was being pulled Figaro. The Beauty and the Beast update swapped out Figaro for the footrest.
The ordering and food pick up area has always given me major Epcot vibes.

The outside of Red Rose Taverne matches the European village aesthetic from both the rest of Fantasyland and the film as well.

Red Rose Taverne has a few unique items that are worth trying out. There are better quick service options in Disneyland, Docking Bay 7 in Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge, or Tiana’s Palace in New Orleans Square, but Red Rose Taverne offers a nice variety of items that all ages and tastes will enjoy.
