Rats and restaurants are two things that you never want to experience at the same time—unless you're visiting the Ratatouille Disney Restaurant.
The charming restaurant in Disneyland Paris is set up in such a way makes you feel tiny. This is achieved with scaled-up decor that makes it seem like you're dining under grassy green foliage, sitting at tables with chairs made from bottlecaps under the tiny umbrellas that are used to decorate drinks. Despite making you feel like you've been shrunken down to the size of a rat, the spacious restaurant seats somewhere around 370 people. As for what's on the menu, there's steak, salad, cheese and of course, the movie's signature dish, Ratatouille.
