The ambiance is unbeatable and pure Disney, not missing a detail. Inside the restaurant is like sitting on a patio overlooking the bayou with cicadas chirping in the background. Sip a mint julep while listening to a jazz trio playing from the wrought-iron railed balcony above. The bayou is actually the Pirates of the Caribbean ride and tables are crowded onto the patio. Make reservations at the restaurant as soon as you arrive at the park for priority seating.
Prices are more expensive at dinner for similar meal choices.
The food has a Cajun flair, but not too spicy. The Blue Bayou is a safe place for vegetarians who can order the grilled portabello mushrooms or the large, if not boring, vegetable platter. Order a side of chickpea relish for flavor. Not all restaurants and snack carts are open year around so plan accordingly.
