Disney Cruise Line debuts Remy
Disney Cruise Lineยฎ debuts Remy,ย an exquisite, top-deck restaurant with incredible ocean views. ย Their firstย premier dining option comes with French-inspired, gourmet cuisine by two award-winning chefs. ย Remy melds classic and contemporary styles in a sophisticated dining concept exclusively for adults on the newย Disney Dreamโข.
Chef Arnaud Lallement from lโAssiette Champenoise, a Michelin two-star restaurant just outside Reims, France, and Chef Scott Hunnel from award-winning Victoria & Albertโs atย Walt Disney Worldยฎ Resort, are collaborating to create a French-inspired menu featuring superior products and seasonal ingredients sourced from around the world. French-trained Chef Patrick Albert, executive chef for Remy, oversees an all-star culinary team.
Guests dining at Remy will enjoy a lavish and leisurely affair, starting with a signature chilled Champagne cocktail made tableside, followed by eight to nine small courses complemented by a stellar wine list. Lallementโs cuisine is simple and stylish, such as roasted lobster with cream, and fresh asparagus with black truffles and vin jaune. It earns lโAssiette Champenoise two stars (of a possible three) from Michelin, making the experience โexcellent cooking and worth a detour.โ Hunnelโs innovative dishes offer small tastes of everything from wild caviar to Kobe beef and Japanese Wagyu strip loin. His cuisine earns Victoria & Albertโs the coveted AAA Five Diamonds, a rating accorded a mere 0.19 percent of restaurants in North America and the Caribbean.
Polished touches at Remy include a tableside trolley for serving international cheeses, decanting stations for wines, and post-prandial coffee service including French press and grand crรจme.
With a subtle nod to the hit DisneyโขPixar film โRatatouilleโ and its diminutive French star Remy, the softly lit main dining room with seating for 80 is designed in Art Nouveau style with a palate of soft greens, and deep reds and rich gold. The restaurantโs classic French design features graceful sinuous lines on chair backs, etched in glass and in wall treatments, and Nouveau-style floral and leaf design in the carpet, banquettes and warm lighting. The famous Remy character is subtly and artfully integrated into the design.
Tables are elegantly set with Frette linens, Riedel glassware, Christofle silverware and china made exclusively for Remy, with gracious accents such as purse stools for womenโs handbags. The attentive serving staff is part of the sophisticated story, dressed in long white aprons, black jackets or burgundy vests and bowties.
The private Chefโs Table dining room seats 16 and offers a glimpse into the kitchen. The room is furnished with rich โRatatouilleโ-inspired dรฉcor โ bold red carpet, chairs and drapes with touches of gold and opulent chandeliers, and scenes of Paris on the walls. The private Chefโs Table dining room has its own entrance to the kitchen to allow the chefs easy access, and offers a special multi-course menu.
A glass-walled wine room with marble flooring has seating for up to 16 amid more than 900 bottles of wine including a fine rare selection of Old World wines balanced with a solid selection of New World wines. Once dinner is booked and Guests are on board, they are invited to meet with a sommelier in Remyโs wine room to taste and pre-select their wines for the evening.
