One of the unique dining experiences onboard Disney Cruise Line is the rotational dining system, which allows guests to dine at different themed restaurants throughout their cruise while keeping the same servers each night. This means that your servers get to know your preferences, making your dining experience more personalized and enjoyable. On the Disney Magic, one of the three rotational dining options is Lumiere’s, a French-inspired restaurant that transports guests into the enchanting world of Beauty and the Beast!
Lumiere’s is named after the charming candelabra from Beauty and the Beast and is designed to subtly capture the elegance and romance of the fan-favorite film.
The menu at Lumiere’s is a celebration of French cuisine, with a selection of dishes that will delight both the adventurous and those seeking classic flavors. To start, I highly recommend the escargots for the adventurous eaters. These delicacies are tender and flavorful, served with a garlic herb butter that is perfect for dipping with warm bread. If you’re looking for a more classic flavor, the deep-fried brie is a French-take on a cheese stick paired with a refreshing orange and cranberry chutney that balances the richness of the cheese.
For the soup and salad course, the French onion soup is a must-try. This traditional dish is hearty and comforting, with caramelized onions simmered in a rich beef broth, topped with a generous layer of melted Gruyère cheese.
When it comes to the main course, you can’t go wrong with the filet. Cooked to perfection, this tender cut of beef is accompanied by a red wine jus. If you’re in the mood for seafood, the pasta with buttered lobster is an excellent choice. The lobster is tossed in a light butter sauce with perfectly cooked pasta, creating a dish that is both luxurious and satisfying.
To end your meal on a sweet note, Lumiere’s offers a variety of decadent desserts. The crème brûlée is a standout, with its perfectly caramelized sugar crust and vanilla custard. If you’re looking for a refreshing treat, try the strawberry shortcake sundae, which combines fresh strawberries, vanilla ice cream, and a fluffy shortcake for a dessert that’s both refreshing and indulgent.
Whether you’re a fan of Beauty and the Beast or simply appreciate fine dining, Lumiere’s is sure to be a highlight of your Disney Magic cruise! Ready to plan your own Disney Cruise? Please reach out to Marvelous Mouse Travels to be connected to a travel agent.
