At a glance
Last Chance Cafe is a quick-service restaurant in Frontierland, in Disneyland Park. The setting follows the look of a Wild West saloon: weathered wooden sign, rustic lanterns, wooden porch facades, "Wanted" posters and clippings from the fictional Thunder Mesa Daily Messenger newspaper pinned to the walls.
The interior is laid out around a large covered dining area with exposed beams, with a covered terrace outside where tables sit under lanterns and wooden porches looking out over the edge of the Rivers of the Far West. The theming belongs to the world of Thunder Mesa, the fictional town shared with the nearby Big Thunder Mountain and Phantom Manor rides.
Service is at the counter, with a menu centred on Tex-Mex food.
The gold prospectors’ outpost. This quick-service counter is decorated with wanted posters from the mining town of Thunder Mesa. The menu offers Tex-Mex specialities such as smoked turkey legs. Its shaded wooden terrace gives you an ideal view of the lake and the mine train tracks.

History
Opened on 12 April 1992 with the park, this period counter sits in the setting of the main street of Thunder Mesa, the fictional town of Frontierland.
Its stagecoach station architecture has been kept as it was from the start. The restaurant has come through the park’s history without any change of name or area, mainly opening as extra capacity on very busy days.

My verdict
Last Chance Cafe is a counter service restaurant in Frontierland with a saloon feel, famous for its turkey leg. Its strength is this recognisable Western snack and its covered, shaded terrace.
I’ve eaten here several times and the turkey leg is the real reason to come, at around €8. One small regret: there’s no indoor dining room in this spot open since 1992, only a large terrace, which is covered, so it’s cold in winter. The flavours are mildly spicy and it gets busy at peak times. The saloon atmosphere is still enjoyable.
I recommend it for trying the turkey leg in a Western setting. Less suited in the depths of winter or if you want to sit down somewhere warm.

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.
