Casa Giulia Disneyland Paris opens on 1 December with 560 seats
Bertrand Hospitality's two-floor Italian restaurant takes over the old Planet Hollywood site in Disney Village, two weeks after Rainforest Café closes for good.
The Casa Giulia Disneyland Paris restaurant will open on 1 December 2026 at the entrance to Disney Village in Chessy, with 440 indoor seats over two floors and a 120-seat terrace, the resort announced on 9 November. A soft opening for the first guests is planned a few days before that date, although no exact day has been given.
The Italian table-service restaurant is run by Bertrand Hospitality, the restaurant arm of Groupe Bertrand, which already operates Brasserie Rosalie in the same entertainment district. It fills a site of about 2,500 square metres near the World of Disney store, on the walkway that links the two theme parks to the train and bus stations. For visitors who combine the parks with a few days in the capital, it is one more address to weigh against the best restaurants in Paris.
What the Casa Giulia Disneyland Paris menu offers
Themed American chains leave Disney Village; table-service rooms run by a Paris group arrive.
The resort describes generous Italian cooking meant for sharing, built on ingredients that change with the seasons. Three dishes have been named so far: rosemary mozzarella croquettes, beef and veal polpette and a Pizza Tartufo. A list of Italian drinks and cocktails completes the offer. No prices or opening hours have been published yet.
The interior mixes terrazzo, brick, wood and plants, materials the operator links to Italian architecture. Next to the dining room, Giulia Express handles quick service and takeaway, with more than 80 seats inside and on its own terrace. It will sell pizza al taglio, focaccia, Italian pastries and ice cream, a format built for visitors who eat between rides rather than at a table. Counting both spaces, the building will seat more than 640 people at once.
Planet Hollywood out, Rainforest Café next
Casa Giulia takes over the building left empty when Planet Hollywood closed in January 2023. Disneyland Paris and Bertrand Hospitality first presented the project in autumn 2024, when Jillian DeKunder, the resort's director of operating participants, called it a new stage in the transformation of Disney Village. That plan promised more than 500 seats; the final count is higher.
The transformation is now moving to the other end of the district. Rainforest Café closes permanently on 15 November, about two weeks before Casa Giulia opens, and its departure marks the start of work on the so-called South Block. Annette's Diner, shut since early 2026, is due back in the first quarter of 2027, and Vapiano is scheduled for a full renovation running from late 2026 into early 2027.
Bertrand Hospitality's first Disney Village project, Brasserie Rosalie, replaced Café Mickey in late 2023. The pattern is now clear: themed American chains leave, and table-service rooms run by a Paris restaurant group arrive. Like the 570-seat Bouillon sur Seine in Boulogne-Billancourt, Casa Giulia bets that very large dining rooms can still be run as proper restaurants. Whether a family of four can eat there for less than the price of a park ticket depends on a menu card nobody has seen yet.
