At a glance
Au Chalet de la Marionnette is a quick-service restaurant in Fantasyland, in Disneyland Park. The building has a second entrance on the Adventureland side. The restaurant takes its inspiration from the film Pinocchio (1940): the decor is packed with references to the story, with murals, statues and silhouettes of Pinocchio and Geppetto, as well as Jiminy Cricket, Figaro and the Blue Fairy.
The architecture recalls a village in the Bavarian Alps, with a large half-timbered chalet, flower-filled balconies, turrets, colourful tiled roofs and carved wooden lamp posts. Inside, several dining rooms each have their own atmosphere: village facades with half-timbering and dormer windows, exposed-beam ceilings, antler chandeliers, a rustic tavern with stone arches and barrel stools, stained-glass lanterns and murals telling episodes from the film.
Service is at the counter, quick-service style, and you can use Mobile Order (Click & Collect) in the mobile app. The menu offers Bavarian and Alpine-inspired food, with hot dishes such as roast chicken with chips and pastries such as apple strudel. A large outdoor terrace shaded by parasols adds to the indoor seating.

History
Opened on 12 April 1992 with the park, Au Chalet de la Marionnette is one of the original restaurants. The building is special because it forms the transition between Fantasyland and Adventureland.
The architecture reflects this shift, with interiors moving from a Bavarian Alpine village (inspired by Pinocchio) to a darker harbour tavern on the Adventureland side. The restaurant hasn’t had a major themed refurbishment since it opened.

My verdict
Au Chalet de la Marionnette is a Pinocchio-themed counter-service restaurant in Fantasyland, serving Bavarian-inspired food in an Alpine chalet setting. Its big draw is the very well done theming, split into several dining rooms with different atmospheres.
I’ve eaten here several times and the theming is really detailed, even if the open space sometimes makes the dining room noisy and a little dark. Expect to pay around €15 per adult and €10 per child in this restaurant, open since 1992, with Mobile Order (Click & Collect) and an outdoor terrace. The hot dog in a pretzel bun makes a nice change, but the menu mostly sticks to burgers. The queue gets longer at peak times.
Recommended for a quick sit-down break in a lovely Fantasyland setting. Less suitable if you’re looking for a varied menu or somewhere quiet.

Your questions about this restaurant
01 Where can you eat cheaply in the Disneyland Paris parks?
To keep costs down, go for the quick-service counters rated €. Casey’s Corner serves hot dogs on Main Street, Café Hyperion does burgers and nuggets in Discoveryland, Colonel Hathi’s Outpost Restaurant serves pizza slices in Adventureland, and Cowboy Cookout Barbecue in Frontierland is still a good deal. Over at Disney Adventure World, Stark Factory and Super Diner remain affordable. Tip: Mobile Order (Click & Collect) in the app also lets you order at some counters without having to queue. And if you’re a bit peckish, a snack (waffle, churros, ice cream) for €5 to €10 does the job nicely.
02 Are there kids’ menus in the Disney restaurants?
Yes, almost all Disneyland Paris restaurants offer a child price (ages 3-11). In the all-you-can-eat buffets, children pay around half price: Agrabah Café at €25, Cape Cod at €25, La Cantina at €20. Classic table-service restaurants also have a children’s set menu with a suitable starter, main course and dessert. At the quick-service counters, you’ll find kids’ set meals with a drink and a dessert included. You can ask for a high chair when you book, using the "special request" field.
03 Are there vegetarian and vegan options in the Disneyland Paris restaurants?
Yes, more and more Disneyland Paris restaurants offer vegetarian and vegan options. The Lucky Nugget Saloon in Frontierland serves a full vegan set menu, and Toad Hall Restaurant in Fantasyland has really nice breaded plant-based crispy bites. Most other table-service restaurants and buffets have at least one vegetarian dish on the menu. Simpler buffets such as Agrabah Café or Cape Cod also offer meat-free alternatives. To check the details, download my free file by email with all the Disneyland Paris restaurant menus: that way you can spot the veggie options before your visit.
04 Where can you get an afternoon snack or a quick bite in the parks?
The parks are full of kiosks and snack stands for when you’re a bit peckish. For something sweet, there’s Cookie Kitchen on Main Street U.S.A., March Hare Refreshments in Fantasyland, waffle and churros stands just about everywhere, and roaming popcorn and ice cream sellers. For something savoury, the hot dogs at Casey’s Corner. Allow €5 to €10 per snack. Little tip: some stands sell reusable collectible popcorn buckets that make lovely souvenirs and give you refills at a reduced price all day.
05 How does Mobile Order (Click & Collect) work for Disney restaurants, and which ones take part?
Mobile Order (Click & Collect) lets you pre-order your meal in the official Disneyland Paris mobile app and pick it up at the time you choose, without queuing. Log in to the app, choose the restaurant and the time slot, select your dishes, pay online (the annual pass code can be applied) and get your voucher by email. The 8 participating restaurants are: Au Chalet de la Marionnette (Fantasyland), Café Hyperion (Discoveryland), Casa de Coco (Frontierland), Casey’s Corner (Main Street), Cowboy Cookout Barbecue (Frontierland), Hakuna Matata (Adventureland), Last Chance Cafe (Frontierland) and The Hollywood Gardens Restaurant (World Premiere at Disney Adventure World). The service is free, but orders are for the same day only.
