Gluten Free Review: Blue Bayou in Disneyland Park
We just got back from spending just under a week in LA and Disneyland for the Kalos Pokemon Go event plus a little stay at Disneyland and we had so much fun! We ate so much good food and I can’t wait to share all of my knowledge with you guys! Last year when we went there were many resrtanuts that we wanted to go to but didn’t so we had a lot of ground to make up for this trip. The first spot I wanted to share about is Blue Bayou in Disneyland Park! They are open for lunch and dinner and we had lunch here so I will share more about what we got and what our experience was like below!
The Vibe
This restaurant is really cool inside, it feels like you are right down in New Orleans on the river! The Pirates of the Caribbean ride goes right through the restaurant which is a cool touch and we got a table right next to the water so that was fun to watch go by! It is a dark restaurant but there are lanterns all over the place so it didn’t feel like it was too dark, plus I think our eyes adjusted really quickly because I didn’t notice it at all after a couple of minutes!
What I Ordered
I ended up getting the prime rib and it was really good! In the menu down below it says that the Prime Rib is served with white rice, roasted vegetables and a demi-glace but my meal was served with mashed potatoes and I loved them so much! I think the potatoes were the best part! My prime rib was cooked perfectly, the mashed potatoes were seasoned really well and the broccoli seemed like it was blanched with a cajun seasoning on top and it was delish! I also got a glass of the Pino Noir which is pretty much my go to drink and it was good too!
Blue Bayou Menu
For my non GF friends
Dustin got a couple of appetizers as his meal and really liked them. He got the gumbo (which could be made gf I just am not a big gumbo person). He said he liked the flavors of the gumbo but there were really big pieces of chicken in it and it was in a smaller cup. But our friend also had the gumbo and I don’t think he had that issue so it might have just been a fluke! Dustin also got the crab cakes and he liked those as well! He said they were good, not life changing but he would eat them again!
Disneyland and California Adventure are always a fun trip for us! We’ve been a handful of times now and its nice each time we go we get more comfortable with the layout of the parks and navigating it all. I feel very confident with giving advise and tips and tricks about Disney World in Florida but now after this trip I feel more confident doing that for Disneyland as well! I really feel writing these blog posts and sharing about spots is important, especially when they make dining out more accessible and enjoyable for those of us with dietary needs! If you have any questions about Blue Bayou in the Disneyland Park, want more menu recommendations, or just have questions about our Disneyland experience you can ask them below or if you are more comfortable you can email me at tarynintotravel@gmail.com and I will get back to you ASAP with an answer in your inbox!
