Bonfamille's Café Open this week as Scat Cat Cafe

pug · Dec 23, 2015

When you walk into the lobby now they have a person there telling you about it and asking if you would like to dine there on the spot or make a reservation for it. It looks very tiny and they only have a couple people staffing it. Also looks like there is very little to no theming in it. I want to try it but just too much $ for what it is.

It's a little expensive but not too bad, a similar meal at Boatwrights at POR would be the same price and of course the Scat Cat Cafe is offering all you can eat.

The skillet at Whispering Canyon is $33.99 for a family style meal so again pricing is comparable to other Disney places. But of course all Disney food is a couple dollars overpriced.

Gluten Free in Orlando just posted this - first picture I've ever seen inside what used to be Bonfamille's - such a shame - looks like a nice space that could be really improved with more theming - wish they'd turn it back to a full-time restaurant. French Quarter is my favourite hotel and would be great to have a table service place there

I really wish they would make this permanent. I love POFQ and to have a TS option there would be a really nice perk. I also wish they would bring back breakfast at POR's Boatwright's.

Dinner was really good, service was excellent (was her only table for 2/3rds of the meal) if it wasn't for the guest 3 tables away who decided to loudly face time through the meal it would've been fantastic overall..

Glad to see decent attendance and glad we tried it and would gladly go back...

Thanks!!! I've always wondered what it looks like! Looks like a very nice space! POFQ is by far my favorite resort on property to relax at...and this would make it even better!

This is not related to the topic of this thread, but I would have loved if one of the Scat Cats from The Aristocats serves as the mascot for the cafe.

Having stayed at French Quarter this past June, I did find it a bit odd that the only restaurant was quick service. When I read that the table service restaurant closed after the merger with Riverside, it made little sense.
