Idaho Floating Restaurant Buoyed by Over One Million Pounds Styrofoam Since 1965

Lake Coeur d'Alene's unique dining experience is highlighted by The Cedars Floating Restaurant, a massive establishment buoyed on the Spokane River that has been a local favorite since 1965, surviving challenges such as the 1996 flood. Disneyland is celebrating its 70th anniversary with over 70 new food and drink items inspired by current trends and nostalgic favorites, including the hearty chicken pot pie baked potato and the themed Hook’s Galley Tuna Melt, which pays homage to the original Chicken of the Sea Pirate Ship Restaurant from 1955. The pirate ship restaurant was notable for its detailed design, including sculptures by Disney artist Chris Mueller and a mermaid modeled after actress Grace Lee Whitney. In Los Angeles, seafood lovers can enjoy the newly opened Cento Raw Bar next to the Michelin-recognized Cento Pasta Bar, offering artistic dishes like scallop-shaped seafood towers and rich uni pasta in an environment designed to evoke the sea. Each dining option—from Idaho’s floating eatery to Disneyland’s nostalgic and innovative fare, and LA’s seafood experience—offers visitors distinctive ways to enjoy memorable meals tied to their location's culture and history.
