The fan favorite counter service Restaurant Hakuna Matata has updated it’s menu with African-inspired dishes. Disneyland Paris just released the new menu (21st of February, 2023) and it is already being served in the parks. While the Yassa Chicken remains in place, all other main dishes have been replaced with new options.
| Menu 1 | Menu 2 | Menu 3 |
| Chakalaka Tomatoes, Sweet Peppers, White Beans and Chickpeas OR Yassa Chicken Chicken with Olives and Onions Sauce | Thieboudienne Fish with Vegetables in Sauce | Pulled Beef Sandwich Pulled Beef, Lettuce, Candied Onions and American Mustard |
| Broken Rice | Broken Rice | Sweet Potatoes Fries |
| Cold Drink, 50 CL (Except Coconut Water) | Cold Drink, 50 CL (Except Coconut Water) | Cold Drink, 50 CL (Except Coconut Water) |
| 15€ | 16€ | 16€ |
Hakuna Chicken Strips, a fan favorite, are notably absent. Instead the newer dishes lean towards the African-inspired menu. Located in Adventureland, Restaurant Hakuna Matata first welcomed park guests on April 12, 1992. Originally named Aux Epices Enchantées (With Enchanted Spices) Restaurant, it was renamed and lightly re-themed after the major success of the iconic Walt Disney Feature Animation motion picture The Lion King (1994).
Both Restaurant Hakuna Matata and Fuente del Oro Restaurante (Frontierland) share the same back of house facilities.
