Carnation Cafe is a restaurant with a charming turn-of-the-century setting that offers an outdoor patio overlooking Disneyland‘s Main Street Street U.S.A. and a Victorian-style dining room. This was one of the original opening-day dining locations at the Disneyland Resort, though it used to be an ice cream parlor before it was turned into a restaurant. The restaurant offers some of Walt Disney’s favorite dishes, like chili! The prime location and food make this one of our top Mickey Visit best Disneyland restaurants.

Carnation Cafe Food
Carnation Cafe offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The breakfast menu includes classics like skillets, pancakes, and Mickey-shaped waffles. For lunch and dinner, you can choose from starters, gourmet burgers, sandwiches and other entrees, and plant-based selections. This is one of the most kid-friendly restaurants at Disneyland, partly due to the fact that kids have the option to create their own entrees. The menu has a selection of drinks, including wines by the glass, signature cocktails, beers, and non-alcoholic options.
