Lunch break: Disneyland's Troubadour Tavern

May 13, 2010, 1:54 PM · Don't look for Troubadour Tavern in the Disneyland guidemap. Strangely, you won't find this Fantasyland counter-service restaurant there. But if you're in the mood for a warm and hearty meal (or gargantuan snack), look for this outpost next to the Princess Fantasy Faire, just a few steps away from the Toontown train station.

Disneyland's Troubadour Tavern

I ordered the bratwurst ($6.99) and opted for the sauerkraut. You could order the brat without the kraut, but why? There's no discount, and the kraut adds some welcome flavor to the rather mild brat.

Bratwurst at Disneyland's Troubadour Tavern

The brat comes with the option of chips or apple slices. Ordering a brat, I figure all pretense of healthy eating's been abandoned, so I went with the chips.

Troubadour Tavern also offers corn on the cob ($4.39) and baked potatoes ($6.29). Potatoes come topped with one of three options, all for the same price:

I haven't tried the potatoes yet, but for folks looking for something a bit more substantial than a traditional hot dog, Disneyland's Troubadour Tavern is worth a visit. Hey, maybe someday Disney will even put it on the guidemap. ;-)

Are there any other hidden "gems" like this "hiding" somewhere in the Parks ?

Yet you chose to drink a water instead of getting a soda....curious ;)

Unless there’s a shot of something good in the soda, but I don’t drink alcohol at theme parks either unless I set out to “Drink Around The World”, or maybe if I’m at a nice full service restaurant and feel like trying something new and interesting with my meal.

As far as having a sweet tooth is concerned, I’m not a huge candy eater, though I do go through periods of cravings for certain sweets from time to time (mostly of the chocolate/peanut butter/crispy/cookie variety). My Achilles heal is ice cream though. Rarely do I indulge, but man do I savor every spoonful when I do :)

The brat wasn't the best I've had by a large margin, but for theme park food it wasn't bad and the kraut did help. The real story here is that it is finally a Disneyland Resort counter service restaurant that serves something unique to that location. Most new counter service locations in recent years, except for the new Lucky Fortune Cookery in DCA, have simply combined menu items from existing counter service locations. I'm glad Disney decided to expand its offerings and mix things up a bit.
