At a glance
Colonel Hathi’s Outpost is a counter-service restaurant at the far end of Adventureland in Disneyland Park, close to Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril. Its storefront pays tribute to Colonel Hathi, the character from The Jungle Book (1967), while the interior keeps the theme of its former name, the Explorers Club, honoring nineteenth-century explorers.
Inside, a large dining room is arranged around a central tree where two animated toucans come to life every now and then, with murals telling the adventures of explorers from days gone by. There’s also a covered terrace shaded by bamboo that looks out over the Adventureland jungle, plus a big sunny outdoor terrace.
This is quick-service dining at the counter, with a menu focused on pizza, Indian dishes (not spicy), and salads. The restaurant offers Mobile Order through the mobile app.
A colonial explorer setting. This big counter-service restaurant is built around a central tree where animatronic toucans perch.

History
This space has been in use since the park opened on April 12, 1992. Back then, the building housed the Explorers Club, a restaurant with a colonial Africa theme.
In 1995, it became Colonel Hathi’s Pizza Outpost, named after the character from The Jungle Book, and the menu switched to pizza and pasta, before moving more recently toward Indian specialties.

My verdict
Colonel Hathi’s Outpost Restaurant is an Adventureland counter-service spot that mostly serves pizza and Indian dishes in an explorer setting inspired by The Jungle Book. What it does best is space: lots of dining rooms and terraces, some of them covered, so it works in any weather.
I’ve eaten here a number of times, and the expedition decor is really well done, even if the direct references to the movie stay subtle. Plan on around €17 per adult and €10 per child at this restaurant, open since 1994, and Mobile Order comes in handy at peak times. The menu centers mostly on pizza, so there isn’t much variety, and the line can get long at lunchtime. The big indoor dining room is a lifesaver when it’s cold out.
I recommend it for a quick sit-down family break out of the weather. It’s less of a fit if you want variety or food with a strong theme.

Your questions about this restaurant
01 Where can you find cheap eats in the Disneyland Paris parks?
To keep costs down, stick to the quick-service counters rated €. Casey’s Corner serves hot dogs on Main Street, Café Hyperion offers burgers and nuggets in Discoveryland, Colonel Hathi’s Pizza Outpost has pizza by the slice 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 in the app also lets you order at some counters without waiting in line. And for a little snack, a waffle, churros, or ice cream for €5-10 hits the spot.
02 Do Disney restaurants have kids’ menus?
Yes, nearly every Disneyland Paris restaurant has a child price (ages 3-11). At the all-you-can-eat buffets, kids pay about half price: €25 at Agrabah Café, €25 at Cape Cod, €20 at La Cantina. Classic table-service restaurants also have a kids’ menu with a kid-friendly appetizer, main course, and dessert. At the quick-service counters, you’ll find kids’ menus that include a drink and a dessert. You can ask for a high chair when you book, using the "special request" field.
03 Are there vegetarian and vegan options at Disneyland Paris restaurants?
Yes, a growing number of Disneyland Paris restaurants have vegetarian and vegan choices. In Frontierland, Lucky Nugget Saloon offers an entirely vegan menu, and over in Fantasyland, Toad Hall Restaurant serves breaded plant-based crispy bites that are very good. Most of the other table-service restaurants and buffets list at least one vegetarian dish. Simple buffets such as Agrabah Café or Cape Cod have meatless options too. For the full picture, get my free file by email, which gathers the menus of every Disneyland Paris restaurant: you can check the veggie options ahead of your visit.
04 Where should you go for an afternoon treat or a small bite in the parks?
The parks are packed with kiosks and snack stands for when hunger strikes. On the sweet side, there’s Cookie Kitchen on Main Street U.S.A., March Hare Refreshments in Fantasyland, waffle and churro stands all over, and roaming popcorn and ice cream carts. On the savory side, the hot dogs at Casey’s Corner. Plan on €5-10 per snack. Quick tip: some stands sell reusable collectible popcorn buckets that make fun souvenirs and get you discounted refills all day long.
05 What does a meal at Disneyland Paris cost?
It depends a lot on the kind of restaurant. Roughly speaking (prices change over time), budget around €15-25 per adult at a quick-service spot (€), €30-50 at a standard table-service restaurant (€€), and €60 or more at premium buffets and signature restaurants (€€€ and €€€€). Some real examples: the Agrabah Café buffet costs €45 for adults / €25 for kids, Cape Cod €45 / €25, La Cantina €35 / €20. Character dining like Auberge de Cendrillon runs €60-95 per adult. Snacks such as ice cream, waffles, or churros cost €5-10. Treat these ranges as estimates and check each restaurant’s menu for the exact price.
