On this page, You'll discover 2 wonderful restaurants that you'll enjoy while visiting Disney's Grand Californian Hotel. They're the Storyteller's Cafe (the hotel's casual dining restaurant) and The Napa Rose (an upscale, award-winning restaurant featuring California Cuisine.) Disney's Grand Californian Hotel Restaurants -- Storyteller's Cafe
In the mornings, the Storyteller Cafe is host to one of Disneyland's character dining experiences---the Chip and Dale Critter Breakfast. You'll be able to feast on an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet featuring all of your morning-time favorite foods, as Chip, Dale, and/or some of their friends mingle with the crowd. You can learn more about the Chip and Dale character breakfast at Disney's Grand Californian by clicking on the following link to go to the Disneyland Character Dining page of this website!After breakfast, the Storyteller Cafe converts back into a "regular" restaurant. The Disney characters leave, the buffet is put away, and you'll order your meal from a menu. Plus...you'll also experience some truly yummy aromas; the Storyteller's Cafe has an "open kitchen," which leads to the dining area having a greater-then-usual amount of mouth-watering smells wafting around the restaurant. Just open the front doors of the restaurant---and prepare your nose for an olfactory treat! Menu items available at the Storyteller's Cafe (as of March 2008; menu subject to change) are--- * Burgers and Sandwiches...You may order a cheeseburger or turkey burger and French fries, or a grilled chicken melt. Either selection runs around $11. * Pastas...You may order a four-cheese ravioli, or spaghetti with meat sauce (served with garlic bread.) These selections run $14-15. * Pizza...The Storyteller's cafe offers a "personal pizza," a 9-inch pizza with your choice of toppings. Meat toppings include pepperoni, sausage and ham. A variety of veggies, plus pineapple (for the ham pizza!) are available for toppings, as well. The pizzas are cooked in a wood-fired oven to enhance their flavor. Cost for a pizza is around $13-14. Unfortunately, this price only includes only one topping! Extra toppings add more than $1 each to the price. Other entrees include Linquini with grilled lemon prawns, served with a citrus/tomato butter sauce; price around $23. Two fish dishes include the grilled salmon fillet and the seared swordfish. Both of these are served with seasonal veggies and potatoes on the side. Prices are in the $21--22 range. A less-expensive entree is the oven-roasted chicken/mashed potatoes, which runs around $16. On the other hand, the most expensive entree is the grilled filet mignon, served with vegetables and potatoes, priced at more than $25. In addition to the main dishes offered at the Storytellers Cafe, you may order appetizers, soups, salads, and desserts. One especially interesting dessert at the Storyteller's Cafe is the chocolate fondue for two, served with biscotti, poundcake, banana, berries, marshmallow and pineapple. It's an impressive-looking way to end a meal; price is around $16 for this dessert option. Other dessert options include berry-topped cheesecake, fruit cobbler with ice cream, and a warm brownie topped with ice cream and chocolate sauce. Dessert prices hover around $8 each (as do most of the salads and appetizers.) Disney's Grand Californian Hotel Restaurants -- Napa Rose
Fine dining featuring "light" California Cuisine is what you may expect to encounter at the Napa Rose restaurant, the Disney Grand Californian Hotel's upscale restaurant. The "winter" menu when I was there in early 2006 included the following entrees---* Lamb combo dish featuring both roasted rack of lamb and Lamb osso buco; $37 * Grilled pork medallions, $29 * Braised angus beef short rib with pasta, $31 * Grilled chicken breast,$27 * Grilled beef tenderloin, $37. * Hawaiian Snapper, $34 * Pacific king salmon, $28 * California white shrimp, $30 Another dining option at the Napa Rose Restaurant in 2006 was the Prix Fixe meal. For $75, this fine-dining adventure came complete with salad, appetizer, entree, vegetables and dessert. Naturally, this menu was created by the Napa Rose's award-winning chefs, just as were all the entrees featured at this Grand Californian venue. For diners not ordering the prix fixe meal, the menu---of course---offers a complete selection of other appetizers, salads and soups. Soups and salads at the Napa Rose run in the $11--15 range; appetizer prices range from about $13 to $18.
