The food critics of Southern California know where to go when they need an exceptional meal: they head straight for Disneyland Resort. While it might not seem like a big secret to us Disney Parks fans that Disneyland’s restaurants continue to hold themselves to the highest culinary standards, it’s a great honor to be recognized within the greater dining landscape. As part of their annual awards, the Southern California Restaurant Writers gave Disney restaurants a dozen awards spread out over eight different locations — two in Disneyland Park, three in Disney California Adventure Park and three in Disneyland Resort hotels.
