Summary

The pommes frites are worth the price of admission. If you don’t eat anything else in the park your entire visit, try these. We like to hit Café Orléans for a midafternoon break, kick our feet up for a soda or sweet tea, and pick through a plate of the fries while we people-watch. The small menu makes ordering easy, provided you bring a big appetite and aren’t afraid of a little cholesterol and trans fat. The Monte Cristo sandwiches are as good as Blue Bayou’s and a few bucks cheaper. Kids will love the three-cheese version: Swiss, mozzarella, and double-cream Brie between thick slices of deep-fried, egg-battered bread. A Dixieland jazz band periodically provides lively entertainment.

Setting and Atmosphere

Across the alley from Blue Bayou, Café Orléans overlooks the Rivers of America. There’s a small patio and limited inside seating, but the table-side service offers a nice break from the serveyourself and buffet options in the same price range. After a day of traipsing around the park, it’s nice to kick back amid the wrought iron and scrolled-wood accents.

House Specialties

The chef’s pommes frites have to be among the best sides in the park: traditional thick-cut fries tossed with Parmesan cheese, garlic, and parsley and served with a mildly spicy Cajun rémoulade sauce. If they aren’t served piping hot, send them back. Mickey-shaped beignets are also a treat for dessert.

Other Recommendations

An artery-clogging Monte Cristo sandwich in two versions, traditional and three-cheese; and a nice selection of salads.
