When you go on the Pirates of the Caribbean at Disneyland-you will pass this cool indoor restaurant that looks like it is outside at night time in New Orleans. If you have never been to the Blue Bayou it is definitely something you should experience. The Blue Bayou is all about the atmosphere, dining with the boats in background slowly making their way through the Bayou. Overhead are beautiful lanterns that also set the mood for a romantic date or a relaxing family meal. My wife had never been to the Blue Bayou so I had to correct that this year by making a special trip out to the park so that she could experience it for the first time. It was a trip that was well worth it.
The menu is New Orleans/Cajun and the star for me has always been Le Special de Monte Cristo. This sandwich is sooooooo good. I dare you to not fall in love with this fattening delight of a meal. I also dare you to finish it.

The prices at the Blue Bayou can be ----well a little pricey....But the experience and atmosphere are worth a trip...especially if you have never tried it before. So get adventurous and break out of the burger and fries and try some indoor (outdoor) dining at one of the coolest places in the parks.
Here's the first link that came up on a google search. It DOES sound pretty good. http://www.culinaryhill.com/boursin-mashed-potatoes/
