| The Master's Cupcake |
The facts:
Location: New Fantasyland
This location offers Order Ahead Dining. You can place your order online up to 30 days in advance. Or, you can order from touch screen terminals when you arrive. This is the only QS location that serves your food at your table. Another perk to this restaurant is they have self-serve drink stations so you can get free drink refills.
Breakfast begins with coffee, juice and a selection of pastries. You can then choose your entree. Choices include standard breakfast offerings plus some French-inspired delights including quiche and a Croque Madame breakfast sandwich. Lunch features a wide variety of French favorites including the Croque Monsieur. They also offer a kid's menu with many different choices other than the usual chicken nuggets. And, no meal at Beast's castle would be complete without trying the "Grey Stuff". If you want to know if it really is delicious, be sure to order the Master's cupcake.
