Just days ago we were talking about the menus for the newest Disney restaurants to be hitting the scene and now the time has come to try them out!

Listen — we tend to get really excited when menus change and new restaurants open because this means we get an opportunity to try out the newest eats, treats, and sips to help you decide where you need to visit on your next Disney trip. We tried 4 of Disneyland’s newest restaurants and we have thoughts!

Now that the time has come for the unveiling of the latest grub spots to hit Downtown Disney, we thought it was time for a visit to check out all the newest eats and drinks! Parkside Market is now open in Disneyland’s Downtown Disney district and while it might look like a fancy shmancy bar at first, there’s so much more here than meets the eye!

This “second-story” bar, Vista, offers up a beautiful place to pop by for a refreshing drink while taking in the gorgeous views of Downtown Disney from above the hustle and bustle. Here you’ll find a whole array of delicious cocktails and mocktails made with local ingredients and artful garnishes. While we were stopping by for a drink, we also figured we should check out the vibrant food hall and its dining options just to round out our experience and get a true taste of the flavors this new spot has to offer.

There are 3 other restaurants you’ll find housed within the food hall of this new venue. Seoul Sister is where you can choose fast-casual modern Korean-style rice bowls…

…Sip & Sonder, is your stop for lattes, fresh treats, frozen drinks, and small bites…

…and GG’s Chicken Shop serves chicken sandwiches, salads, and classic dinner table sides.

Now that we’ve had a chance to look around a little bit, let’s talk about the real reason for our visit — the food and drinks!

We started our visit off with one of the prettiest presentations of a drink that we’ve ever seen at Disney. The Flamboyance Frosé is made of Chapoutier Belleruche Rosé served in a stunning Flamingo glass which will cost you $16. However, this drink can also be made with Giesen 0% rosé for $12.

We thought this one was super light, refreshing, and tasted just like a rosé slushy. There’s a slight tartness but nothing about it overwhelmed us. We can see this one being a hit on a hot, sunny day and aesthetically it’s fun and great for photos. It also surprised us with how well its consistency held up against the elements! However, you’ll need to order this one at the bar if you want the flamingo glass, which you won’t get to take home with you.

Admittedly though, $16 is a bit hefty for a boozy slushy, but seemed to land on par with the current lineup of pricing for alcoholic drinks around Disneyland. You might want to give this one a try if you’re turned off by the usual rosé sweetness.

After we got our fill of the fun flamingo slushy, it was time for some sustenance. We picked up our first dish of the evening at Sip & Sonder and if your mouth isn’t already gaping at the sheer look of this masterpiece then we can’t help you. You’re looking at the Cookies & Cream Cinnamon Roll which will cost you $7 to snag for yourself. We also picked up the Lavender Tea Latte Iced (but you can also have it served hot) for $5.75.

Alright, let’s go ahead and address the gigantic cinnamon roll first because it’s kinda hard to ignore sitting there! This thing is massive and we found it to be a great value for a sharable treat. The cookies and cream are more of a topping despite its looks and the center “roll” tastes more like a traditional cinnamon roll. It’s nice and bready with a good amount of flakiness to it while the cookies and cream are thicker and richer than a traditional icing glaze (think more along the lines of cream cheese in terms of thickness).

Don’t get us wrong though — the cookies and cream topping is great but it’s got a bold flavor to it which at times could be a little much even for as big of a sweet tooth as we have!

To wash it down we turned our attention to the Lavender Tea Latte. This one comes in either a 12 or 16 oz at $5.25 and $5.75 respectively and overall stood the test of a solid drink option. The latte was light and the lavender shined but still managed to keep a subtle flavor profile. If you’re a fan of lavender tea there’s a high probability that this will wow you since its got that familiar floral taste.

Overall we felt it was a pretty safe bet for most folks in terms of both price and taste.

Moving on, we decided to grab a bit from Seoul Sister. We knew our choice was clear the moment we spotted it on the menu, so we ordered the Signature Bowl. We had ours made of beef & egg with noodles (but you have a few other options like rice and salad) for $19. It also comes with Bulgogi Beef, Carrots, Kale, Egg, Sesame Oil, and Spicy Gochu Seoul Sauce.

This might have been the best thing we ate on this visit! The noodles had a citrusy flavor and the meat was tender and seasoned beautifully. The sesame oil is light but it has so much good flavor that we thought it was perfectly allocated. There’s a bit of tang to the meat from all the flavors happening which we really appreciated, felt added to the overall taste that was complimented nicely by the greens, and the egg was cooked nicely. We’re still stumped on the price to say we’d do it all over again without a second thought but we did thoroughly enjoy our bowl!

Last up on our food roundup was a stop at GG’s Chicken Shop. Here we picked up the Sweet and Spicy Fried Chicken for $18 and we added on the Waffle Fries for an additional $8.

The chicken sandwich is served with pickled daikon slaw, soy cucumbers, and kewpie mayo all together on a brioche bun.

To sum up the sandwich in one word — delicious. The chicken was so crispy and packed with a great tangy flavor in every bite and it was so juicy! It did have a little bit of a kick to it in terms of heat, but nothing over the top. The slaw was okay, but we felt it took away from some of the great flavor of the chicken. The bread is a standard brioche, which turned out to be a great choice for this sandwich and has some nice buttering to add to the flavor profile. Cucumbers were a bit much but they went well, especially with the slaw. The biggest downside to this sandwich was its sticker shock of a price — $18 with no side?! A travesty. The chicken really was amazing though and once you’ve got a craving for it, it’ll be hard to resist overpaying.

The Waffle Fries were served with GG’s spice rub which we thought was nice to jazz them up a bit more than your standard side of fries. It gave the overall flavor a nice rustic flair which really helped set them apart from standard, yet reliable waffle fries you can get countless other places. We do want to mention though that the seasoning is optional and free, and we’d even go as far as recommending you pair it with ketchup or a dipping sauce!

As a whole, there were highs and lows to some of the dishes we tried and while several left a lasting impression on us, the proverbial cloud raining on our food parade was the prices. However, if that’s more of a bump in the road and less of a complete roadblock to you, there were several dishes whose flavors did impress us in the best ways and left us craving them on a return visit.
