Unlimited raclette at Disneyland Paris: where and when to go

To eat raclette at Disneyland Paris, the main place to go is Hunter’s Grill, the all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant at Disney Sequoia Lodge. A park cook scrapes the raclette right there (real cheese, not a factory product), and it’s served with potatoes and cold cuts, in winter only. There’s also a quicker sandwich version, offered some winters at Le Rendez-vous Gourmand.

Don’t expect it year-round: raclette is only served for a few months, then disappears until the next season.

Your best bet is Hunter’s Grill, the buffet at Disney Sequoia Lodge, the mountain-lodge hotel beside Lake Disney, just steps from Disney Village. Come winter, its menu includes unlimited raclette.

The part I love: a park cook scrapes real cheese right in front of you, from the wheel straight to your plate. Potatoes and cold cuts come alongside, refilled as often as you want. Portions are hearty, and the warm, cozy setting fits winter perfectly.

Even better, there’s no hotel stay required. Anyone can eat at Hunter’s Grill with a reservation, and the Disneyland Pass discount works there. For how dining works at the Disney hotels, read eating at the Disney hotels, and for how to reserve, see booking a restaurant.

Every winter, raclette returns to Hunter’s Grill, typically as the cold season begins, and it sticks around for just a few months. Outside that window, you’ll still get the grill buffet, minus the raclette.

Dates vary each year and aren’t always announced early. My advice: before you reserve, confirm raclette is being served this winter. Visiting off-season? Then unlimited raclette won’t be an option.

Just want a taste, without committing to a whole buffet? During some winters, the festive food chalets (Le Rendez-vous Gourmand) put a quick, snack-size twist on raclette: a sandwich with raclette cheese and country ham, and sometimes tartiflette.

This suits you if you’re not a purist, if money is tighter, or if you’d like to eat on the go with no reservation. Just like the buffet version, it’s seasonal, and the chalets don’t always sit in the same place each year. For everything about these events, see the food festivals.
