Set waterside inside Disneyland's Pirates of the Caribbean, the Blue Bayou restaurant offers Cajun and Creole-influenced lunch and dinner entrees.

The dinner menu at the Blue Bayou includes steaks and seafood, while the lunch menu features Disney's Monte Cristo sandwich. You'll dine "outside" an antebellum Louisiana mansion, along the shore of the Blue Bayou, watching the Pirates of the Caribbean boats float by in the eternal twilight.

You'll need to make reservations in advance to eat at the Blue Bayou - call 714-781-DINE before your trip, and very nicely request a waterside table.

If you are craving a Monte Cristo sandwich and looking for a less expensive alternative (with less ambiance), try the Cafe Orleans across the way in Disneyland's New Orleans Square, which also serves the sandwich, and at a lower price.

They could serve bad fish sticks and I'd still give it a 10. The setting is amazing. - Kurt Larson

My favorite restaurant at a Theme Park. Blue Bayou is in the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction. There's great food, excellent service,and amazing decor. It really feels like you outside. Blue Bayou isn't just a restaurant it's an experience. - nick .

I had a good time! A Disney Classic! I think lunch is better! While the prices here are a bit high, they do not skimp on the food. Be prepared to be stuffed! - Anthony Murphy

The themeing is incredible it is so cool that you are next to Pirates of the Caribbean. The monte cristo tastes amazing as well as the gumbo appetizer. The flying dutchman cookie boat is incredible, leave it to disney to also make the dessert extra special by making the sail edible. However based on my first experience here you should note that the sail may be edible but the mast isn't. My mom thought that since the sail said edible that ment the mast was two and she took a bite out of it and ate plastic! It was actually pretty funny we asked the waiter if it was edible and he said yes, but then we pointed to the mast and he said :"oh no that's not edible at all." - Thomas Furlong

For those of you new to the Monte Cristo, try it at the Cafe Orleans first. I am not a fan of foods with overwhelming sugar and this one of those. I was expecting this awesome ham and cheese gourmet meal. What I got was cheesy meat in between two pieces of french toast with jam. Yuck. Except for the mac & cheese, the rest of the food is wonderful. - Charles Gilman

The prices at the Blue Bayou are steep, but the meals are substantial. The meal came with warm bread and whipped butter, salad or soup (gumbo), a main entree. As we were on our honeymoon, we received a complimentary dessert of chocolate mouse complete with mickey face sprinkles. The multi-courses allow you to really sink into the surroundings after the hustle of a typical day at Disney.
