Hakuna Matata Restaurant


Hakuna Matata Restaurant is a restaurant located in Adventureland in Disneyland Paris. It is themed to the movie The Lion King.

Aux Epices Enchantées

Originally, when the park opened in 1992, the restaurant was known as Aux Epices Enchantées. It is the main building of the African part of Adventureland and features many African artifacts in the setting of a peaceful jungle. Its original meals, however, could be inspired by Africa, Asia or the West Indies.

With the release of the movie The Lion King in 1994, the perfect theme came through to link the restaurant to the Disney universe. As such, it was renamed Hakuna Matata Restaurant around 1995. The building itself remains unaltered though, except for murals of the characters Timon and Pumbaa which were added later.
