Michelin-starred chef Jean Imbert has teamed up with the media corporation's park in the French capital to create an array of dishes centered around dishes from the Disney Universe and has also created a special menu just for children.
The chef explained: "What I wanted to convey through the menu is this invitation to travel through their favourite experiences found at Disneyland Paris. I offer guests a journey from one story to another through food, from 'The Little Mermaid' to 'Ratatouille', to 'Indiana Jones' and 'Pirates of the Caribbean', always with respect for seasonal ingredients. With this menu, I hope guests will enjoy an enchanted break in an environment inspired by the legendary forests found in many Disney classics!.
Among some of the offerings is the 'Under the Sea' selection, features gently cooked langoustines, shellfish in a marinière style, a touch of caviar, and a sea jelly inspired by the 1989 classic 'The Little Mermaid'.
Meanwhile, 'Mrs Pott's Brew' is a root vegetable ravioli and a vegetable and truffle broth, which pays homage to the character voiced by late 'Murder, She Wrote' legend Angela Lansbury in 'Beauty and the Beast'.
Prince Ali’s Tagine is a dish inspired by 'Aladdin', reveals a poultry ballotin stuffed with dates and dried fruits and is served with vegetables, while 'Caribbean Casserole', inspired by the classic 'Pirates of the Caribbean' films, presents a fine combination of Mediterranean red tuna, a tangy passion fruit vinaigrette, and a Colombo spice and tamarind sauce

More than just a pleasure, food is a true expression of culture and sharing, particularly in France, where it occupies a central place in the art of living. I am inspired by Jean Imbert’s creative boldness in the kitchen. Through this collaboration, our visitors will be able to extend the magic of their day in the park in an unparalleled way, diving into a world where imagination, tradition, and innovation meet around an exceptional gastronomic experience."
