Overview
In the heart of New Orleans Square sits a charming casual dining location: Cafe Orleans. At this sidewalk themed cafe, you can enjoy Cajun classics, such as Chicken Gumbo, Shrimp and Grits, and roasted chicken. Although all the food on the menu is delicious, the real Cafe Orleans stand out is the Monte Cristo.
Cafe Orlean’s Monte Cristo is a variation on a classic French sandwich known as a croque-monsiuer. This sandwich features turkey, ham, and swiss cheese and is topped with powdered sugar and a berry purée. A meatless Monte Cristo is also available. These two sandwiches come with a side of garlicky parmesan Pommes Frites and Cajun spice rémoulade.
With an abundance of outdoor seating, this dining location is a great place to eat when the weather is nice. From the tables, you can see the picturesque Rivers of America and maybe see the Mark Twain Riverboat sail by. You can also see Princess and the Frog character displays at this restaurant.
There is a lot of history at Cafe Orleans because this dining location opened at Disneyland in 1966. An espresso machine used by Walt Disney himself can still be seen on display at Cafe Orleans.
