It’s no secret that Lamplight Lounge is one of my favorite Table Service locations at Disneyland Resort.
The restaurant celebrates Pixar animation, all while offering stunning waterfront and Pixar Pal-A-Round views.
While I’ve eaten at Lamplight many times before, this was only my second time trying brunch. Keep reading for my latest Lamplight Lounge brunch review from when I ate here on June 15, 2025.

What is Lamplight Lounge?
Lamplight Lounge celebrates Pixar animation in a multitude of ways, including with the decor, the menu, the atmosphere, the music, the coasters (IYKYK), and more.
You can find the restaurant in Pixar Pier at Disney California Adventure overlooking the stunning water and Pixar Pal-A-Round. Trust me, you can’t miss it.
Described as a “gastropub cuisine” serving signature cocktails, you can find the full Lamplight Lounge restaurant downstairs.
If you’re looking for something a little more casual, there is also Lamplight Lounge – Boardwalk Dining, located upstairs.
Boardwalk Dining serves appetizers, along with signature drinks. Only Lamplight Lounge serves entrees. As of June 27, 2025, Boardwalk Dining offers reservations, instead of being a walk-up only location. You can also join the walk-up list in the Disneyland app.

Lamplight Lounge Brunch Review
I started my brunch with a special beer brewed exclusively for Disneyland’s 70th anniversary.
This 70th Anniversary IPA from Karl Strauss Brewing Company is described as “an intensely single-hopped American IPA bursting with grapefruit aromas, citrus, and tropical fruit flavors.”
I’m an IPA person, so this hit the spot. It has nice citrus and tropical flavors making for a refreshing beer. I think it’s worth the $15.00, especially since this is a specialty beer that’s only available during Disneyland’s anniversary.
For my main entree, I ordered the plant-based Potato Flautas. These come with chorizo, piquillo crema, tomatillo-serrano salsa, arugla, and escabèche salad.
Not only do you get a lot for $19.00, but this is absolutely delicious. I loved the potato filling, the chorizo brought a bit of heat, and the salad added some lightness to the overall dish.
I would definitely order this again. It’s a very good brunch item. I also want to mention the vegetarian-friendly Lamplight Chilaquiles that my dad ordered.
For $22.00, you get house-made tortilla chips tossed in a 3-chile red sauce, cheddar-Jack, two eggs-up, queso fresco, cilantro-serrano crema, and sliced Avocado, topped with pepitas.
You get a ton of tortilla chips and they certainly don’t slack on the toppings. The chips did get a little soggy after a while, but if you eat quickly, you won’t even notice. I also appreciate the chilaquiles have so much flavor.
I prefer the Potato Flautas, but this is a solid dish that’s super tasty. If you can’t tell, Lamplight Lounge does brunch well. I highly recommend it.
Is brunch at Lamplight Lounge worth it?
Yes, brunch at Lamplight Lounge is absolutely worth it. I’ve never had a bad meal here. From the view, to the theme, to the service, to the food, you cannot go wrong with booking a reservation at Lamplight Lounge.
Plus, it’s a great option for vegetarians and vegans. You get a lot of food presented beautifully for a reasonable price.
I can’t wait to dine at Lamplight Lounge again, whether it be for brunch, lunch, or dinner.
