Parkside Market food hall opens at Downtown Disney
Jan 06, 2025
A new $8 million Downtown Disney food hall featuring chicken sandwiches, rice bowls, coffee and cocktails has quietly swung open its doors as a seemingly never-ending parade of new restaurants continues to reshape the outdoor shopping mall next door to Disneyland.
The Parkside Market food hall soft opened over the weekend in the west end of Downtown Disney ahead of an official grand opening later this winter.

Food and drinks from the first floor fast casual eateries can be ordered at the individual counters downstairs or from a server in the rooftop bar who will bring your order to your upstairs table.

Dining in the Vista Lounge means you get a single consolidated bill without having to order at each location — and your server will bring you drinks from the bar as well.
Walk-up customers can eat at a handful of tables inside the food hall on the first floor.
