During my visit, I had the opportunity to speak with the Chef regarding gluten-free options, which were not explicitly labeled on the menu. To my delight, the Chef informed me that the majority of the menu could be adapted to accommodate gluten allergies. Additionally, if there were any special off-menu requests, they were more than willing to consider them.
On my visit, I savored the gluten-free charcuterie pizza and the delectable crème brûlée dessert, along with a peach mocktail and a soda. The pizza was a revelation - the crust was fluffy and unlike any gluten-free option I had tried at the Parks before. As for the crème brûlée, it remains my favorite Disneyland dessert (naturally gluten-free, but do request the cookie to be left off). Though the peach mock-tail didn't quite suit my palate, I appreciated the effort.
It's essential to note that The Hearthstone Lounge's service may be slightly slower, as it caters to table service rather than quick service. Embrace the leisurely pace and savor the opportunity to slow down, enjoying the enchanting ambience. My dining experience here lasted around an hour to an hour and a half, well worth the relaxed time spent.
Pro Tips:
- Opt for a visit between the lunch and dinner rush for shorter wait times.
- Don't hesitate to request the Chef's guidance for gluten-free options.
- Remember to inquire about the Magic Key Discount (mention it before checking out).
- Keep in mind that the prices here might be slightly higher than those of in-park dining options.
- View menu on Disneyland website ahead of your visit.
