MissE and Me: Remy's

Remy’s is the fine dining restaurant aboard Disney Cruise Line, and is often voted one of the most exceptional dining experiences at sea period. The menus are created by Chef Arnaud Lallement of Michelin three-star restaurant l’Assiette Champenoise and Chef Scott Hunnel of Victoria & Albert’s, award winning restaurant at WDW resort (will have to put that on my food bucket list for next time!)

Dining in this adult-only, strict dress code restaurant was like being transported to the City of Lights. Remy, the character from Ratatouille, appears throughout.

It's Remy!

Gusteau Room (to be requested next time!)

Can you find Remy on the chair back?

It comes with an extra price tag but in my opinion it was worth every cent. You know that “it’s so good I want to shove it all in my mouth but at the same saviour every bite”? Yes, that good.

Our champagne pairings

Our champagne brunch (at sea days only) started in The Wine Room with a glass of Taittinger Brut Reserve Champagne and jamon iberico, while the chef and sommelier ran through the menu and champagne pairings for our brunch. Then we were escorted by our personal waiters to our tables.

Seconds, please!

We had a lovely window table overlooking a very still sea. Tables are set with Frette linens, Riedel glassware, Christofle silverware and china created exclusively for the restaurant

As we were seated, the sommelier poured our first champagne pairing (liquid appetiser), Taittinger Prestige Cuvee Rose NV.

Our first course was a Vegetable Risotto followed by a Lobster, caviar both too pretty to eat. The menu was intentionally left vague so we would be surprised by the combinations, taste and plating.

Our next course was the more substantial dishes of the brunch (mains). Fietan, Pomme de Terre Thai and a Pork Egg were paired with Pommery ‘Pop Gold’ ‘06.
