The best restaurants for kids at Disneyland® Paris
1. Agrabah Café Restaurant - best for fussy eaters
Tucked into the buzzing streets of Adventureland, Agrabah Café Restaurant is an all-you-can-eat buffet dressed like a bustling bazaar, lanterns hung overhead and colour everywhere you look!
Instead of guessing from a menu, your child can wander the counter and pick out exactly what catches their eye - pasta, salad, fresh fruit and a glorious spread of desserts are always on offer.
That freedom to choose takes the pressure off you, and even the fussiest eaters usually find something they love!
2. Auberge de Cendrillon - best for meeting Mickey and the Disney Princesses
For proper Disney magic, head to Auberge de Cendrillon in Fantasyland, tucked beside the Sleeping Beauty Castle. This is where Disney Princesses welcome Guests to a three-course, French-inspired meal, and Mickey Mouse, dressed in his royal attire, joins the Disney Princesses at the table too. The pace is gentle and unhurried, giving little ones plenty of time to take it all in.
The Disney Princesses and Mickey come to you, table by table, giving your child a calm, up-close moment with some of their favourite Characters - perfect if bigger meet-and-greets are a bit overwhelming for them.
3. Royal Banquet - best for Disneyland® Hotel guests
If you’re staying at Disneyland® Hotel, Royal Banquet is a wonderful buffet-style alternative where Mickey and friends welcome Guests. The buffet format gives younger kids a little more freedom to move at their own pace during the meal, rather than sitting through a full set menu.
It’s a relaxed, family-friendly way to enjoy Character Dining without needing to venture far from your room.
4. Regal View Restaurant & Lounge - best for something new
Over in Disney Adventure World, Regal View Restaurant & Lounge invites you to dine with the Disney Princesses against a beautiful new backdrop, and it's one of the freshest additions to the resort's dining scene. It's a lovely pick if you'd like Character Dining away from the busier, more established venues.
5. Bistrot Chez Rémy - best for immersive theming
Step inside Bistrot Chez Rémy in Disney Adventure World and you’ll shrink down to the size of a rat from Ratatouille - oversized plates, giant bottle caps and jam-jar lids become part of the furniture around you. Kids who love spotting tiny details are utterly captivated here!
Rémy doesn’t pop by the tables himself, so it’s worth knowing this is a feast for the eyes rather than a face-to-face Character moment.
6. Café Hyperion - best for quick, buggy-friendly meals
Café Hyperion, the largest restaurant in Discoveryland, gives you plenty of open space to wheel a buggy through with ease. The menu sticks to firm favourites like burgers, nuggets and fries, and there's room to spread out if your little one needs a quiet moment.
It's a dependable, no-fuss choice on a day when you'd rather not sit through a longer meal.
7. Au Chalet de la Marionnette - best for a calm, low-key lunch
Tucked into Fantasyland, Au Chalet de la Marionnette is a cosy, Pinocchio-themed spot close to several kid-friendly rides. It's a Quick Service restaurant, so there's no need to book, making it perfect for a relaxed lunch between adventures.
8. Rainforest Café - best for older kids & high-energy fun
Over in Disney Village®, Rainforest Café thrills older kids with its animatronic jungle animals and rumbling thunderstorms. It's worth knowing it can be a lot for a sensitive toddler to take in, so we'd save it for a moment when little ones are well rested, rather than at the end of a long day.
Do kids under 3 eat free at Disneyland® Paris?
Yes - under-3s don't need their own ticket or meal, as they're welcome to share from your plate instead. Once your child turns three, standard children’s pricing applies, including at the buffets.
Are kids’ meals at Disneyland Paris restaurants bookable in advance?
For Table-Service and Character Dining restaurants, yes, and we’d always recommend booking as early as you can! Tables open up to two months ahead of your visit, or as soon as your Disney Hotel stay is confirmed if you’re staying on-site.
Character Dining is especially popular, so have your dates and favourite restaurants ready the moment your booking window opens. Quick Service spots like Café Hyperion don’t need a reservation at all - simply walk up whenever you’re ready to eat!
To make restaurant reservations, you can use the Disneyland Paris app or call the Disneyland Paris Dining Reservation team on +33 1 60 30 40 50 (international call rates apply, cost may vary according to network).
Is a Disneyland Paris Meal Plan worth it with kids?
If you’re staying at a Disneyland® Paris hotel, a Meal Plan can take a lot of the guesswork out of dining with a young family, bundling breakfast, lunch and dinner together across your stay.
There are several tiers to choose from depending on your hotel, and Character Dining is only included on the highest tier, which is only available for Disneyland Hotel Guests, so it’s worth checking exactly what’s covered before you book!
It's also worth weighing up how much your child actually eats. Since under-3s can share from a parent’s plate, and many toddlers manage on tiny portions, a Meal Plan tends to suit families who'll eat well at buffets and Table-Service meals more than light eaters who might be just as happy paying as they go.
For the full breakdown of dining options, tiers and what's included, take a look at our complete guide to Disneyland® Paris Meal Plans.
Practical tips for dining with kids at Disneyland® Paris
- High chairs are yours for the asking. Most restaurants across the resort will happily bring one to your table.
- Baby Care Centres are located in the Disney Parks. There's one in Disneyland® Park, near Main Street, U.S.A., and another in Disney Adventure World, both offering nursing rooms, changing tables and bottle-warming facilities - a lovely spot to retreat to if things get a bit noisy.
- Let your lunch double as a rest stop. Building a Table-Service meal into your day gives younger children a built-in chance to slow down, right when they need it.
- Weigh up the Disneyland® Paris Meal Plans if you're staying on-site. It suits families who'll eat mostly at buffets and Character meals. Light eaters may not need their own plan, since under-3s are welcome to share from their parent’s plate.
- Allergies and dietary needs are well looked after. Certified halal, kosher and allergen-free meals are available with advance notice - just have a word with restaurant staff on arrival, or contact the resort ahead of your visit if you have more complex requirements.
Finding the right restaurant for your family
However you like to dine, there's a restaurant at Disneyland Paris that fits, whether that's a leisurely buffet where little hands can choose their own plate, or a Table-Service meal where you can sit back and enjoy every course. The trick is simply knowing what's out there and booking early enough to get it, especially when Mickey or the Disney Princesses are visiting you at the table!
With a little planning, mealtimes become part of the magic rather than a break from it. It’s a chance to catch your breath, refuel, and let the excitement of the day sink in before you're back out in the Disney Parks!
