A Foodie Tour of Tiana’s Palace at the Disneyland Resort

Step into a slice of New Orleans at Tiana’s Palace, a new themed dining concept at Disneyland inspired by The Princess and the Frog.

In anticipation of the Tiana’s Bayou Adventure attraction coming next year to Disney Parks, New Orleans Square at Disneyland recently opened a re-imagined dining area that brings Tiana’s Palace to life. In Walt Disney Animation’s modern classic, it’s Princess Tiana’s dream to open a restaurant and serve her family’s recipes of Southern cuisine to bring her community together. Tiana’s ambition was inspired by real-life restauranteur Leah Chase and mirrors the Chase family’s legacy in New Orleans.

Princess Tiana fans can now live out that very dream at Disneyland—just in time for the holidays. io9 recently tried out the menu at Tiana’s Palace, which accommodates various dietary restrictions with selections like a vegan and gluten-friendly gumbo. (That said, there’s no alternative beignet at the Disneyland restaurant, even though a gluten-friendly beignet recipe does exist at the Walt Disney World resort; here’s hoping the option will soon make it to the West Coast.) Check out this gallery of images to preview the decor and offerings at the quick service food location; no reservations are needed if you’re planning on visiting Disneyland this holiday season.
