At the heart of the Medieval Times experience is the grandeur of the royal feast. As the tournament rages on, guests are treated to a sumptuous four-course dinner that is as much a part of the show as the jousting itself. Dining in the traditional medieval fashion, you'll enjoy dishes that would not be out of place at a royal table, all while the drama of the tournament unfolds. Whether it's hearty garlic bread, savory roasted chicken, or the sweet finish of the dessert, each course adds to the immersive feel of the evening, making it a meal to remember.

What truly sets the dining experience apart is not just the quality of the fare but the unique way it's enjoyed—without silverware, just as in the medieval times, adding another layer of authenticity and fun to the meal. Alongside your feast, enjoy two rounds of select non-alcoholic beverages with the option to visit Scottsdale's longest bar for further libations. This combination of culinary delight and thematic precision ensures that the Royal Feast is an integral part of the magic that is Medieval Times.
