Opened in June 1922, The Tam O'Shanter boasts a rich, storied history and warm, inviting atmosphere. We’re proud to be in our 10th decade of continuous service. We originally considered it a quiet pastoral road stop, since Los Feliz Boulevard was just an unpaved country lane traversed by rabbits and rabbit hunters, in that order.Everything changed when Walt Disney and his animators, set designers, and crews began trekking out between takes for a bite and a refreshment. So often, in fact, that the Tam was once dubbed “The Studio Commissary.”Join us and see why the Tam is said to have been Walt’s favorite restaurant!As a family-run establishment, we’re committed to keeping our community safe. We always practice strong hygiene protocols and rigorously adhere to all CDC food safety standards.

So much fun! Definitely a place to get dressed up and take the cutest photos. The tea was so yummy, the food was also really good. I would say be aware it can get pricy fast, as there is a mandatory minimum purchase of 40~ dollars per person. Though they are understanding if someone isn’t hungry and doesn’t want to purchase anything. I myself ended up spending 60$ for an eggs Benedict + tea + scone. Overall, it was a fun experience especially for the birthday!
