Story Teller’s Cafe – Anaheim California

I have a story to tell you about a wonderful restaurant in a magical place. I have been eating at this restaurant for several years and it is constant every time with some of the best food preparation in all of the Downtown Disney Restaurants.

What sets this restaurant apart is that it is Disney owned and operated. You may think that at the mention of the name Disney that quality would be sacrificed for volume. However, this is where Disney has turned it around in recent years.

Disney has taken the time to select quality chefs and to train them to cook with fresh and healthy ingredients. This has set the Disney Restaurants apart from all others.

On this visit to the Story Teller’s Café, we were caught without a quality camera and the photos are from a cell phone camera. I almost did not write up the dinning pleasure; however, it was such a wonderful time, I could not help but tell you about it.

Downtown Disney is not a long drive from church and I and my family headed to the Anaheim Resort in hopes of a good meal. It was my selection and the Story Teller’s Café located on the grounds of Disney’s California Grand Hotel was my selection.


The California Grand is a wonderful hotel that resembles the resort atmosphere of the High Sierra. High vaulted ceilings and a breath taking lounge area gives way to a beautiful landscaped walk down to the Story Teller’s Café.

Walking through hand carved wood framed glass doors; you instantly know you’re in a special place. Modeled to depict the American pioneer’s art of storytelling, the restaurant motif will captivate your imagination. The pioneer days of settling California care in every detail of the kitchen and dining areas.

Most mornings guest find a massive breakfast buffet featuring carved meat stations, omelet stations, mounds of fruit, deserts, and bakery items. At lunch a menu of good variety follows by a stupendous dinner menu. Throughout each meal visits from Disney characters entertain guests and feature a child’s sing and follow parade that weaves its way through the dining areas.

We were warmly greeted at the door and seated by a cheerful staff. Drink orders were quickly taken and followed by a bread basket full of a delicious variety of bread and muffins. They made it apparent that they were going to make this lunch a delight.

I ordered four cheese ravioli, salad, and a bowl of Chicken Corn Chowder. The salad came to the table with a bright green fresh look offset by bright red cubed tomatoes. The Chicken Corn Chowder was creamy, thick, and had a flavor that made me eat the complete bowl. I was so delighted that I had share some with my family. Thin pieces of chicken were in each bite and with the whole kernels of corn throughout, it made a perfect dish. Crumbled bacon and a light sprinkle of parsley on the top allowed me to find a new favorite.

The Four Cheese Ravioli was also a great selection. Homemade ravioli with tomato pesto sauce sautéed with asparagus and a few spinach leafs and “Gilroy” Garlic, came together to make a tasty party in my mouth. With each bite I caught myself making noises of delight.

Also ordered that day was the spaghetti with meat sauce. It was also well flavored with bits of carrots throughout the sauce. It had a mild flavor, perfectly cooked pasta, and a nice meaty texture. Served with garlic bread we all had a taste and loved it.

My wife had a grilled Chicken Pear salad with red wine vinaigrette. Though there was too much dressing for her taste, the dressing was sweet and complimented the nice arrangement of assorted greens and tender grilled chicken.

It was all very nice and had very nice resort price too; if you get my drift. I would classify it as medium pricy; but worth every penny.

The Disneyland Resort is located next to Disneyland and Disney’s California Adventure. After meal walks are pleasurable with a unique shopping experience and even nighttime entertainment. If you have never visited Downtown Disney, it is a must go see. Then if you do visit, make sure you take in the majestic sights of The Grand California Hotel and consider eating at The Story Teller’s Café. You will not be disappointed.
