During our recent sailing aboard the Disney Treasure, we decided to try something different and book Enchanté Lunch rather than dinner. During previous sailings on the Disney Wish, we’ve been to dinner which you can read our review here, and have enjoyed both brunch and dinner over the years at Remy on the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy. Lunch sounded like a great new option, so we reserved a spot when our booking window opened for the sailing.

Enchanté is the Wish Class equivalent to Remy on the Dream Class, offering an elevated French inspired dining experience with a menu curated by 3 Michelin-starred Chef Arnaud Lallement of L’Assiette Champenoise in France. Enchanté is located on deck deck 12 aft above Marceline Market with the entrance tucked away in the back of The Rose, a lounge that doubles as the waiting area for both PALO Steakhouse and Enchanté which are exclusive venues for guests 18 years and older.

We checked in at the podium at the back of The Rose and after a very brief wait escorted to a table overlooking the water by Benoit, the maître d’. Moments after we were seated, the sommelier arrived with a bottle of Champagne which we brought from home and handed over upon check-in. There is a $29 corkage fee (plus 18% gratuity), which we were aware of ahead of time, but we had the bottle sitting in our room, so we thought, why not enjoy it with lunch for a nominal fee.

Amuse Bouche
Our server, Vincenzo, arrived an amuse-bouche to start the lunch with a couple flavorful bites. The Falafel with lemon is a carry-over from the Wish and this is a good thing because it is excellent. The other is a refreshing radish with beet glaze tartlet. Honestly, the lemon reduction gel on the top of the falafel was so good, I can’t even remember the radish bite.

By far, the number one reason we were excited to book Enchanté Lunch instead of dinner is time of day. Enchanté is a culinary adventure and while the portions may seem small, they add up. We’ve found dinner to run too late into the evening for us and prefer to not consume this many courses of rich foods in the late evening before bed. Obviously, this is subjective and I much prefer a bigger lunch and a smaller dinner. So, lunch is the ideal opportunity for us to enjoy the Enchanté experience, plus the restaurant offers excellent views on a sea day.

We have some dietary constraints including dietary preference and allergy which were noted on our reservation and were not an issue. The Enchanté Lunch menu is very similar to dinner, if not identical including the prices. Emily chose the Passion menu and I went with the Potager selection, which is essentially the vegetarian offerings.

Vincenzo soon returned with a wooden egg which he opened revealing truffles which can be added to enhance each dish for an extra $325, or $85 for 10g on 1 dish of our choosing.

Even if you do not eat carbs or bread at dinner, break the rule and indulge in the bread service in Enchanté, blob on a good amount of French butter, and a spoonful of Fleur de sel. If given the opportunity, I would order the bread service and Fromage and sit in The Rose sharing a bottle of wine.

Not sure why, but I am drawn to the 100% pure tin spice pot with gold leaf, and the tiny spoon from NOUSAKA’s Sylvie Amar Collection used for the Fleur de sel. I found a site to purchase the bowl, but I cannot find the spoon for sale. Without the spoon, what’s the point of owning the spice pot? Let me know if you know of a site selling the set or just spoon.

Our second amuse-bouche course was unique to each menu. The Passion menu was the Macadamia nut cream with caramel which was similar to the Remy offering in the martini glass.

For the Potager menu, I was served a delicious radish roll packed with seasoned vegetables complete with a robust pepper punch on a base of green tomato water. For a sense of scale, I would say these are just under the size of an AA battery, but they provided a powerful punch of flavor.

First Course

The first course of the Passion menu featured two Hawaiian Scallops. One was seared on with a miso glaze in a bowl with leeks and Coteaux Champenois Sauce finished table side with Langoustine foam. The other scallop was served in a bath of Langoustine foam. Scallops are Emily’s favorite seafood, and of course, they were prepared and cooked perfectly.

Chef’s Coteaux Champenois sauce, a yellow wine sauce, is made from a wine that has been aged for 7 years, isn’t a great drinking wine, but reduced as a sauce, it is delicious.

The Potager first course also featured leeks. The Leek “Mi Cult” was a creamy egg yolk encapsulated in a crispy thin wrapper with dusting of dried egg yolk. The flavors complemented each other but not one more robust than the other.

Second Course

John Dory fish with a turmeric sauce and foam with a dollop of cardamon citrus puree arrived as the second course of the Passion menu. Emily adores fish and this ranked right up there with flavor and texture.

The second course of the Potager menu is listed as Pearl Onions with herbed condiment. Well, call it whatever you want, these onions were delicious. Specifically, the two which had the brunoise onions from the inside sautéed in brown butter and stuffed back in pearl shells. The other onions were poached and finished with a nice caramelization.

Third Course

The service continues with the third course of the Passion menu, where Emily was served Pollock with broccoli puree as well as a broccoli dusting atop the fish. Our server finished the dish at the table with a shellfish foam.

My third course from the Potager menu was Potato Gnocchi with micoplaned parmesan and finished with a parmesan foam. I call them parmesan clouds as they were delicate and melted in my mouth.

Fourth Course

For the fourth course, Emily was served a Farm-Raised Chicken roulade with a trio of ravioli, and a curry spice sauce.

The Potager fourth course was Beets with root vegetables. Given a choice, I normally stray away from beets. No specific reason or aversion, just not an ingredient I seek out. Upon arrival at the table, I was a little jealous of the chicken dish, but curiosity won out even after Emily offered to switch dishes since she love beets and suspected I would not be happy. Well, I’m glad I didn’t switch this was a lovey dish and I wish I could tell you more about the foam, but I think it was citrus based. Regardless, I ate all but one bit and that is only because I shared it with Emily.

Cheese Course

Since we first discovered the Chariot de Fromage in Remy over a decade ago, we look forward to this course each time we have a reservation at Remy or Enchanté. Well, for the lunch service on the Disney Treasure, the cheese course is pre-plated with half of the offerings from our last dinner service.

Bonus Treats

We are now transitioning to the pick me up portion of the lunch service with sweets and caffeine. The lemon drop bites & tart are not to be missed as well as the adult version of fruit-rollups.

Cappuccino, again after 11 o’clock… stop judging.

Dessert Course

We were given three choices for dessert: chocolate, citrus, or peanut butter. They suggested we both choose a different one, but share. Emily chose peanut butter, and was not disappointed with the selections she was presented with. They were fantastic, and also light.

Given the option between a savory appetizer or dessert, I am going to choose appetizer 100% of the time. Dessert just isn’t my favorite part of a culinary experience. Sure, I eat dessert, but it is not uncommon for me to take one or two bites of something and be done with it. However, what I was served for the citrus dessert may have been a combination made in heaven. I received a mouth watering, tart citrus dessert that should be on every citrus aficionado’s must try list.

Enchanté is not for the faint of heart; I’ve come a long way since my first Remy Brunch experience. In all of the Remy and Enchanté experiences combined, there have only been one or two dishes that I simply did not enjoy based on my personal preference (I know one was duck and the other may have been something with Quail eggs). That being said, I still ate the dishes because they were prepared really well and it was part of the experience I signed up for when booking a reservation. You may be thinking, what’s my point? Well, that is an excellent questions that even I cannot answer. I guess what I want to express is that overall quality and service is still exceeding exceptions from a value consideration. While this experience is not for everyone, we love Enchanté (and Remy) for the food and the experience and would absolutely choose it over Palo every single time. We used to put on all of our guest surveys that we would much rather the Pearl/Platinum Castaway Club benefit be a set value that could be used towards Enchanté or Remy in lieu of Palo (because we only keep returning to Palo to use our benefit). To us, this is a truly exceptional experience that we treat ourselves to on vacation. We cannot wait to return when we sail on the Disney Destiny.

Enchanté Lunch versus Enchanté Dinner: As it stands, the listed prices on the menus are the same, which is a bit confusing after learning the lunch featured a pre-plated and reduced Fromage offering. This is not by far a make or break issue, just a personal subjective preference thing. However, the real difference for us is the time of day, as I mentioned at the onset of this review. Excluding the cheese course, if lunch and dinner are identical, we would choose lunch over dinner on every sailing. This would allow us to enjoy each course on a sea day and spend the remainder of the day walking around rather than going bed shortly after a long dinner service. The real bonus is the atmosphere with views out over the water compared to night when the floor to ceiling windows are essentially mirrors.
