![]() You (obviously) can’t see outside, but the windows are gorgeous and offer a nice ambiant light. The seating area continues the whimsy, with booths in the center of the restaurant looking like hedges outside the Queen of Hearts’ Castle and with details, like this Cheshire Cat figure, lining the walls of the ‘maze.’īooths along the outer edge of the restaurant have stained glass windows featuring characters from Alice in Wonderland. Saw it on several plates other guests had, and it looked delicious. Of the items we didn’t try, the “Flank Steak with Gravy” looked the best. (Yep, total sucker for marketing prominence.) This is great for visual folks like myself who normally just order whatever on the menu has a photo. You’ll also notice some murals along the wall, featuring scenes from the film (all of which include the Queen of Hearts, I believe).Īll of the restaurants at Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea have displays with very accurate representations of the items available. Details galore, including the checked floor, heart stanchions, and pots and pans hanging from the ceiling. I’m sure the Cast Members wondered if we were ever going to go order… Unlike the “Let the Memories Begin!” sign that cluttered up the Magic Kingdom Train Station for a few years, this is pretty cool.Īnother close-up. More cards line the path towards the buffet line, with the Queen of Hearts overhead and a sign reading “Let the Banquet Begin!” These characters, and characters throughout the restaurant, make for excellent photo ops.Īs you can probably tell, it’s a very vibrant restaurant. Upon entering through the castle wall, guests immediately encounter a doorknob-face threshold and a bunch of card people (I’m guessing these all have proper names–sorry, we’re not Alice in Wonderland fans). The plus side of this is that it’s never difficult to find a table inside, as guests are not allowed to loiter about or save tables. There’s at least one outside managing the line (if there is one), plus the normal staffing inside, and additional Cast Members to escort guests to seats (during prime hours, you cannot seat yourself). Besides Cape Cod Cook-Off, it’s definitely Tokyo Disney Resort’s most popular restaurant.ĭue to its popularity, there are a lot of Cast Members working the restaurant. This is the main restaurant in Fantasyland and it has a really fun, ‘kawaii’ theme, so it’s packed during prime dining hours. If you dine here during a busy time of year or on a weekend, plan to line up 10 minutes before the restaurant opens, or at around 3 p.m. ![]() If you’re planning on dining here (and you absolutely should), we recommend going on a weekday during an off-hour. ![]() You’re unlikely to miss it, though, as the ‘hedge maze’ and forced perspective castle on top of the restaurant are both pretty eye-grabbing. In terms of exact location, Queen of Hearts Banquet Hall is between ‘it’s a small world’ and Haunted Mansion in Fantasyland. ![]() If for that reason alone, we highly recommend everyone visit it.įortunately, it’s also one of the coolest and best counter service restaurants at Tokyo Disneyland, giving you two reasons to visit. ![]() Unlike many attractions and restaurants at Tokyo Disneyland that are direct lifts from the Magic Kingdom or Disneyland, Queen of Hearts Banquet Hall is unique to Tokyo. To us, this isn’t a big deal– trying the awesome snacks at Tokyo Disneyland is such a big part of the experience that we don’t want to fill up at meals! As far as Tokyo Disneyland goes, the portions here are on the large side, but still a bit small by American standards (expect for desserts, some of which are quite large). The cuisine here is a mix of items, none of which will be unfamiliar to American palates, although nothing is your standard burgers and fries fare, which is nice. Thanks to fun theming and excellent food, Queen of Hearts Banquet Hall is a restaurant that is well-deserving of its hype. It is likely the most popular restaurant in Tokyo Disneyland, with waits to get inside very common for prime dining hours. Queen of Hearts Banquet Hall is a counter service, buffeteria-style restaurant in Tokyo Disneyland’s Fantasyland themed to the Queen of Hearts’ Castle from Alice in Wonderland. ![]()
