Disneyland - French Market Restaurant

The French Market restaurant is another one that was new to us. We had thought about checking it out before, because this is one of the restaurants where you can get live entertainment. We were there fairly late, and only for a snack. We wanted to try two things that were new to us: the mint julep and the beignets.

Both can also be purchased at the Mint Julep Bar, which is quick services instead of sit down.

We're more likely to go back for the beignets than the mint julep. We tried both regular and pumpkin varieties (the pumpkin is seasonal), and they were good, though I had thought they would be more melt in  your mouth. I don't really have any basis for comparison though, for how they would be in, for example, New Orleans. It does seem appropriate that after The Princess and the Frog that you can get beignets in New Orleans Square. I think the beignets are better than the fritters, which are also an offering in that area.

We also have no basis of comparison for the mint julep, alcoholic or otherwise. This version is non-alcoholic. We didn't love it either. The first sip was really strong and pungent. After that it was better, whether because the palate adjusts or the stronger flavorings sit on top, I don't know.

The primary flavors were mint and citrus. It probably would be refreshing on a hot day, but so are lots of other things.

Those don't sound like glowing reviews, but we tried these for curiosity, and that's a reasonable thing to do.
