Topic: Disney Cruises to get a Double Michellin starred Chef

In an exquisite, top-deck restaurant with incredible ocean views, Disney Cruise Line debuts Remy – its first-ever premier dining option. With French-inspired, gourmet cuisine by two award-winning chefs, Remy melds classic and contemporary styles in a sophisticated new dining concept exclusively for adults on the Disney Dream.

Chef Arnaud Lallement from l’Assiette Champenoise, a Michelin two-star restaurant just outside Reims, France, and Chef Scott Hunnel from award-winning Victoria & Albert’s at Walt Disney World Resort, are collaborating to create a French-inspired menu featuring superior products and seasonal ingredients sourced from around the world.

“Remy, a first-of-its-kind onboard experience, takes Disney Cruise Line dining to new heights,” said Ozer Balli, vice president, Disney Cruise Line Hotel Operations. “The extraordinary success of Palo on the Disney Magic and Disney Wonder encouraged us to create this elegant, upscale and even more intimate dining experience for the Disney Dream.”

Dinner at Remy is a lavish and leisurely affair, starting with a signature chilled Champagne cocktail, followed by eight to nine small courses complemented by a stellar wine list.

Lallement’s cuisine is simple and stylish, such as roasted lobster with cream, and fresh asparagus with black truffles and vin jaune. Hunnel’s innovative dishes offer small tastes of everything from wild caviar to Kobe beef and Japanese Wagyu strip loin. His cuisine earns Victoria & Albert’s the coveted AAA Five Diamonds.

Do you feel that such high class dining is warranted on a ship aiming itself at the childrens market? ~ I know that personally the lack of a casino onboard puts me off cruising "Disney Style"

I was going to say I wasn't of the impression that Disney cruises would be that interested in a restaurant of this sort, am I wrong? I imagine it is like a holiday camp...I don't mean that badly, just how I imagine them..family fun.

It is geared for families but they now have Adult areas or should I say zones of peace while the kids go to the scheduled activities.
Normally you cycle from one theme restaurant to another each night.

The food is presented just like any other cruise ship for adults though with kid friendly menus.
You should see their new ship 'Disney Dream' for 2011 coming out where it has a covered transparent water slide that bends over the ship 150 feet high.

Try it John...
