Downtown Disney Restaurants --
Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen
Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen (main restaurant) is one of the more gourmet-style restaurants in Downtown Disney, offering authentic New Orleans-style Creole and Cajun cuisine.The Brennan family has been in the restaurant business for over 55 years in New Orleans (and nowadays, in other cities, too), and so Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen really does offer "the real thing."
The Ralph Brennans Jazz Kitchen building itself is an architectural beauty that recreates the New Orleans French Quarter dining experience quite accurately. As is the rule with French Quarter buildings, a beautiful interior courtyard awaits you when you step through the doors of Ralph Brennans Jazz Kitchen. (And, just as in French Quarter restaurants, elegant indoor dining salons are available, as well.)

Ralph Brennan's live jazz at Flambeaux's
The "jazz kitchen" part of the name, "Ralph Brennans JAZZ KITCHEN" comes from the fact that you'll enjoy live New Orleans-style jazz featured every night of the week here! This takes place at Flambeaux's Jazz Club, which is adjacent to Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen (in the same building.) (You should pronounce this club's name "Flam-BO's;" it rhymes with Joe's or toes.)
Some nights, you'll be able to hear an accomplished jazz pianist. On other nights, you might hear a trio or other jazz combo. If you're dining on the patio at Ralph Brennans Jazz Kitchen, you'll able to hear and enjoy the music of this adjoining club.
You can find out exactly what jazz artist or group will be performing in advance of your visit. The Flambeaux's Jazz Club's schedule of musicians is listed on the Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen website (link below on this page.)
Ralph Brennans Jazz Kitchen Express
It's easy to grab a snack while you're at Downtown Disney Anaheim. There are so many tempting choices, it's hard NOT to grab a snack while you're there!A great place for a quick snack while visiting Downtown Disney is at the Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen Express. You'll find the Jazz Kitchen Express directly adjacent to the main restaurant.
Eating at Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen Express is a fun way to enjoy a taste of New Orleans-style cooking while spending less time and money than in the main restaurant itself.
You can find sandwiches and light meals in the Jazz Kitchen Express, but a great reason to go there is for their signature dessert treat...real, New Orleans-style BEIGNETS.
As you can see from this photo on your right, beignets (ben-YAYS) are fluffy little pillows that resemble dinner rolls. Well, yes, that's just what they're like. Beignets are made from a yeast-risen dough, which is rolled out, cut into pieces and then fried. The inside of the little pillow is actually hollow, which is a result of air expanding within the dough as it is cooked. When still fresh and hot from the fryer, the beignets are sprinkled with a generous portion of powdered sugar.
While this is certainly a treat your waistline won't want you to eat everyday, it makes a tasty occasional snack. This 4-beignet serving costs about $5.
If you'd like to try your hand at making beignets when you return home from your travels, you may buy a box or two of beignet mix right inside of Ralph Brennans Jazz Kitchen Express! You may also find a beignet recipe on the Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen website (link below.)
