Compared with the dining room of the Chuck Wagon Caf\u00e9 at the Hotel Cheyenne, the Downtown&#8217;s is smaller, more intimate and less noisy.

If you&#8217;ve ever stayed at Disneyland Paris in the middle of January, you&#8217;ll know how nice it is not to have to brave the cold to go and eat. It also saves time if you&#8217;re planning to see the night-time show at the castle.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the number one reason is the unique culinary experience this restaurant offers with its <strong>triple buffet<\/strong>. Each buffet lets you discover a few signature dishes from New York neighbourhoods: <strong>Little Italy<\/strong>, <strong>Chinatown<\/strong> and <strong>Downtown New York<\/strong>, the Big Apple&#8217;s business district.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each with a wide choice of starters, mains and desserts to enjoy until you can&#8217;t eat any more!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Asian buffet<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized img-fluid\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.touschezmickey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/buffet-asiatique-downtown-restaurant-1024x576.webp\" alt=\"Asian buffet at the Downtown Restaurant\" style=\"width:768px;height:432px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">It&#8217;s Chinese New Year every day at the Downtown!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This buffet was a real surprise for us! We have to say that, as a family, we&#8217;re particularly fond of Asian fast-food places and restaurants, which makes us all the more demanding about freshness and flavour. And we weren&#8217;t disappointed, quite the opposite. The first surprise came from the little steamer baskets holding 4 kinds of dumplings. An explosion of flavours! And what about the lacquered duck, the stir-fried pork, the sweet and sour prawns\u2026<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s the menu on offer that evening in January 2023:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list list\">\r\n<li>Saut\u00e9ed prawns in red chilli sauce<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Sea bream fillets in orange sauce<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Wok-fried vegetables with coriander<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Sweet and sour pork with ginger and pineapple<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Lacquered duck with hoisin sauce<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Steamer basket of Chinese dumplings<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>White rice<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Stir-fried noodles<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Italian buffet<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.touschezmickey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/buffet-italien-downtown-1024x461.webp\" alt=\"Italian buffet at the Downtown Restaurant\" style=\"width:768px;height:346px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pasta and pizza take pride of place on the Italian buffet<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s head over to Little Italy and its Italian-American specialities. Naturally, pasta takes pride of place on this buffet, as do cured meats and pizza. In fact, I have to say the pizzas are excellent and worthy of the best pizzaiolos. They&#8217;re made and baked in the pizza oven in front of you. If you love cheese, don&#8217;t miss <strong>the wheel of gorgonzola<\/strong> you can dip your spoon into!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are the Italian dishes featured on the buffet: <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list list\">\r\n<li>Cheese tortellini with pesto cream<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Beef meatballs in tomato sauce<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Aubergine parmigiana<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Gnocchi gratin in tomato sauce<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Vegetable pizza<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Pizza with tomato sauce, mozzarella and basil<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Pesto pasta salad<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Cured ham pizza<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The American buffet<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized img-fluid\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.touschezmickey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/buffet-americain-downtown-restaurant-1024x461.webp\" alt=\"American buffet at the Downtown Restaurant\" style=\"width:768px;height:346px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A few iconic dishes of US cuisine<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make way for macaroni &amp; cheese and the classic burgers of American cuisine! These dishes may be less elaborate and flavourful than Asian or Italian food, but they&#8217;re always just as popular with young and old alike. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On this buffet you&#8217;ll find: <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list list\">\r\n<li>Grilled half corn cobs<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Roast potatoes<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Capon with morel mushrooms (a Christmas Eve dish)<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Mini burgers<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>BBQ sauce<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Chicken wings<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Mickey-head potato croquettes<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much is the &#8220;all you can eat&#8221; buffet?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Admittedly, this restaurant isn&#8217;t cheap. But Disney and Marvel magic comes at a price. And when you love something, you don&#8217;t count the cost, do you? In 2023, the all-you-can-eat buffet cost \u00a339 (45&nbsp;\u20ac) for adults and \u00a322 (25&nbsp;\u20ac) per child. The price included one soft drink per meal (excluding speciality drinks). So for a family of two adults and two children, the bill came to \u00a3122 (140&nbsp;\u20ac) (check the current price when you book).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But you can save a bit if you choose one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.touschezmickey.com\/en\/disneyland-paris-meal-plans\/\">Disneyland Paris meal plans<\/a>! If you&#8217;ve taken half board or full board at the Hotel New York, <strong>you won&#8217;t have anything to pay<\/strong>, apart from supplements. Above all, you can save on your food budget.

It really is best to book several weeks ahead to be sure of getting a table. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After that, there are two scenarios: <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list list\">\r\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">You&#8217;re not staying at the Hotel New York \u2013 The Art of Marvel<\/span>: you&#8217;ll need to book through the official app, choosing a day and time for your meal. If you still haven&#8217;t managed to get a booking, you can always try your luck by turning up in person, but with no guarantee of success.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">You&#8217;re a hotel guest<\/span>: you can of course book through the app, but you also get a unique advantage. The restaurant keeps a few tables back for its guests. So if no tables are available online, you can contact the concierge to check availability.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"avis\">What do we think of the Downtown Restaurant?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have to admit that, on paper, a buffet is less appealing than table service. But we were all very pleasantly surprised by the quality of this restaurant, especially all the Asian dishes, prepared right in front of us. This buffet really makes you want to try everything, from starters to dessert.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The price is a little high, it&#8217;s true. But if you compare the cost of this meal with the Chuck Wagon Caf\u00e9&#8217;s (which we tried the day before) at \u00a335 (40&nbsp;\u20ac), there&#8217;s no contest. The extra \u00a34 (5&nbsp;\u20ac) is more than justified. As for the setting, we were afraid the room would be very noisy, and that wasn&#8217;t the case at all. Finally, we were warmly welcomed by all the cast members.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In short, we&#8217;ll happily go back!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"text-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.touschezmickey.com\/en\/go\/lien\/?pg=2285&#038;e=contenu-ancien&#038;u=aHR0cHM6Ly9jbGsudHJhZGVkb3VibGVyLmNvbS9jbGljaz9wPTg4NTQmYT0zMzgyNTg3Jmc9MjU3MTUwMDQ%3D\"  class=\" btn btn-disney\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-tcm-offre=\"lien\" data-tcm-emplacement=\"contenu-ancien\">Find out more about the Downtown Restaurant <i class=\"bi bi-chevron-double-right\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Downtown Restaurant is on the ground floor of the hotel, right next to the other restaurant, the Manhattan Restaurant.
