Le Gobelet Noir

If the Café L'air De La Sirène, nearby, is about lofty Parisian bistro refinement, then Le Gobelet Noir (The Black Cup) is more about rib-sticking European country fare. In a cool, soot-stained tavern with plenty of seating that's buried in the Place Cachée alleys (found to the right as you enter the World), you can fortify your hunger with Continental comfort food like like coq au vin (red wine-marinated chicken), beef goulash stew with egg noodles, jägerschnitzel (crispy pork cutlet with gravy and fries), soups, salads, and sandwiches made of bratwurst or shaved beef. The big novelty drink here is Le Breuvage Sombre du Gobelet Noir (pictured above), a dark but sweet fruit concoction laden yogurt-popping pearls, plus a few site-specific beers like a blackcurrant saison and the light Daisyroot Draught ale. You can also order wine by the glass.

To order anything here, use Mobile Order on the park's app and supply your table number; if you have trouble, there's also a counter where staff will take your order, but you'll need table number first.
