Disneyland Paris introduces its latest dining experience with La Forêt Secrète, an elevated fine dining curation nestled in the renovated Disneyland Hotel. There, guests can enjoy a menu and dynamic setting that is purposefully designed to speak to food enthusiasts and Disney fans alike. The restaurant is led by a French Michelin-star chef Jean Imbert and each dish is inspired by the iconic animated films.
Some dishes include the ratatouille to celebrate Remy from Pixar's Ratatouille or the truffle-infused broth that nods to Mrs Potts from Beauty and the Beast. 'Under the Sea' is also a notable course celebrating the Little Mermaid with shellfish and langoustines and a sea-infused jelly. As a dessert option, La Pomme Ensorcelée is a reimagined poisoned apple from Snow White.
