Calling all Disneyland Resort Annual Passholders and Downtown Disney locals. Beignets are officially back!
While we love getting Mickey-shaped beignets at the Mint Julep Bar in New Orleans Square, we can’t do that right now while the Disneyland Resort theme parks remain closed. However, we enjoy the beignets from Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen just as much! Lucky for us, Ralph Brennan’s has officially reopened today at Downtown Disney.

French Quarter fare like Gumbo Ya-Ya and Pasta Jambalaya sing of the bayou, while festive salads and an authentic po’ boy sandwich make for inspired dining choices—and a beignet is the perfect dessert.In addition, a Carnival of New Orleans specialty drinks is served to revelers 21 and over—from the Hurricane to a refreshing Louisiana Lemonade—as well as draft and bottled beers, many from New Orleans breweries. Ralph Brennan’s also features an assortment of wines by the glass.
Real New Orleans Roots
Ralph Brennan’s family entered the hospitality business in 1943 with the purchase of the historic Old Absinthe House on Bourbon Street in New Orleans’ French Quarter, once the headquarters of the notorious pirate Jean Lafitte. During its 200-year-plus history, personalities ranging from Mark Twain to Frank Sinatra have passed through its doors.To bring an authentic look and feel to the location at the Downtown Disney District, a dozen New Orleans-based artists were commissioned to create original works for art expressly for Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen.
