The Bistro

Lunch, dinner, desserts, and more

Grabbing a bite at the Bistro can be anything from a sweet dessert to a three-course lunch or dinner. Choose a familiar favorite or try the more adventurous fare. Either way, the Bistro creates a casual-dining atmosphere that lets girls be girls with their family and friends—and even their dolls, who get a menu all their own!

Enjoy a fun dining experience again and again

The joy of play continues when you visit the Bistro. You can choose from these unique dining options featuring all the special American Girl touches:

  • Create Your Plate—Customize your lunch or dinner based on your own personal “food mood.” You get to select an appetizer, an entrée, and a side dish from the extensive menus for each. For the little ones, “Bitty Bites” offer smaller portions of menu favorites. They’re sure to please even the most finicky appetites.
  • Dessert Counter—Take your seat for a sweet treat. Watch as your sundae, milkshake, float, or other temptation is made before your eyes. The Dessert Counter is the perfect place to celebrate small victories with your special girl or simply enjoy something sumptuous after you’re finished shopping.
  • Bistro Brunch—On Saturdays and holidays, you can start your day off right with a tasty morning meal at one all-inclusive price.
