Disney Wish’s Enchanté: A Pricey Treat or Overrated Splurge?

Sharing is caring!

I’ve always enjoyed fine dining and have had great experiences at Remy on Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy, so I was excited to try Enchanté on Disney Wish.

That said, I was a little nervous about the $135 price tag and whether it would be worth it, especially since I don’t eat meat and stick to fish. Would I get enough variety and value out of the menu?

I wasn’t able to secure a reservation for Palo on this cruise. Since it was a last-minute booking, I wasn’t too surprised to find all the spots taken when I checked online.

What did surprise me, though, was stumbling upon an unexpected opening for Enchanté while browsing reservations one day.

Without hesitation, I snagged it.

Then came the second-guessing. I wasn’t sure if it was worth the splurge. I spent a good amount of time reading reviews, trying to decide if this experience was something I truly wanted to commit to.

Initially, I justified the expense as a way to celebrate my upcoming 10-year anniversary with my partner. A special occasion like that seemed like the perfect reason to indulge. But those plans quickly unraveled when an unexpected work emergency meant my husband couldn’t join me on the cruise after all.

At that point, I’d talked myself out of going. But before canceling, I decided to ask for opinions in one of my Disney Cruise Facebook Groups.

The overwhelming response was, “Yes, please review it!” That encouragement gave me the final push to go ahead with this indulgent dining experience.

About the Restaurant

Enchanté is a luxurious, adults-only French restaurant aboard the Disney Wish, themed after Lumière, the charming candlestick from Beauty and the Beast.

Created by Chef Arnaud Lallement, who also developed the menu for Disney Cruise Line’s Remy restaurant, Enchanté offers a sophisticated dining experience with a touch of whimsy.

Set on Deck 12 aft, just past The Rose Lounge (another Beauty and the Beast-inspired venue), Enchanté’s ambiance is stunning. With sweeping ocean views, elegant decor, and a refined atmosphere, the restaurant feels like a hidden gem on the ship.

I checked in at The Rose Bar and was led down a long, beautifully designed corridor by one of the servers, who pointed out the intricate details of the decor.

As I walked in, I caught sight of one of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen. It was breathtaking to sit there with a glass of champagne, soaking in the view—it felt like the perfect start to the evening.

It was just stunning.

There is a dress code, but this is Disney and that is pretty relaxed everywhere. You would be comfortable wearing semi-formal or cocktail attire. When I dined there no one was “overly” dressed up.

After being seated both the Server and the Sommolier introduced themselves.

I had read that there was a complimentary glass of champagne, but this wasn’t offered. Instead the Sommolier “wheeled in” a selection of champagne for me to choose a glass. This ranged from $18.25 to $156 a glass. Well I think it was $156 but I confess I had stopped listening at that point!

I had the $18.25 a glass Tattinger La Francaise. It was nothing special but it was very enjoyable sitting with my champagne watching the stunning sunset.

The Menu at Enchante

Enchanté is one of the most expensive dining options on Disney Cruise Line. I had thought that the minimum was $125, but prices had obviously increased and the lowest priced set menu is now $135.

The restaurant offers three dining experiences:

1. A six-course menu for $135 per person.
2. A nine-course menu for $205 per person.
3. An à la carte menu with individually priced dishes.

You can also add these options:

• Champagne Journey $170
• Wine Experience $127
• La bonne Vie Zero Proof Pairing $40

I opted for the six-course menu without wine.

As I had explained to my Server that I didn’t eat meat he came up with a combination that substituted fish and combined some of the elements of both the Passion and Potager menus.

The Food

The first thing to arrive was the bread. Having followed a low carb diet for a year now I resolved to really savor this experience – and I was not disappointed.

I think this is the first time I have ever been offered salt to individually salt the bread to my taste. It was worth the carb hit.

The next course was the amuse bouche trio. This wasn’t on the menu, but was a great start to the meal.

The falafel was my favorite of the three.

For the next course this wasn’t shown on the menu either, but was a cabbage dish. It was my least favorite dish of the evening.

The next course was exceptional. I love scallops and these were amazing. The sauce was a feature of a number of the courses, and whilst this could have been a downside I enjoyed it so much I didn’t mind that it kept appearing again.

The next experience was a lesson in why you really shouldn’t get carried away with the experience and really listen to your Server.

At the start of the meal the Server explained about how there was an amazing opportunity as this was Truffle Season. He brought out the truffles and they did indeed smell amazing.

He explained that they could be added to a number of dishes. I honestly do not know if I was so captivated by the aroma of those truffles, or he didn’t actually tell me the upcharge, so I went ahead and ordered them for my gnocchi course.

So when I very clearly heard him say to the table next to me that the charge was $85 what I should have done at that point is called him over to cancel!

However, my Britishness took over and I remained silent. And when the chef came over to grate the truffles over the dish I just hoped for the best!

And was it worth it? I am glad that I tried it, and they were delicious.

But $85?

Never again.

I enjoyed the next fish dish so much more than the gnocchi. This was the first of 2 fish courses and whilst it wasn’t my favorite, that was only because the Halibut was perfect!

The next dish, the Halibut was probably my favorite. So beautifully presented and delicious.

Perhaps though, this was the very best. I adore cheese. If given the option between a sweet dessert and the cheese then I will opt for the latter.

Such a fabulous selection, and I confess that I even got seconds.

I didn’t anticipate not one, but two dessert courses.

By this point of the meal I really was very very full. So I took most of these beautiful miniature desserts to go and enjoyed them in my stateroom the next day.

Has to be the most sophisticated fruit roll ups I have ever had.

I enjoyed everything but the coffee tartlet was my least favorite. The Olive Oil chocolate domes were delicious, and I loved the meringues and the lemon drops.

And the final dessert course was not something I was expecting at all.

Usually I am not a particular fan of chocolate, but this was so good.

The chocolate crisps were so good, and whilst I usually pass on the chocolate mousse I confess that I finished every bite of this.

The coffee was the prefect finish to the meal.

Was it Worth It?

There’s no denying that Enchanté is a pricey experience—especially if you accidentally order truffles!

My total bill came to just under $300, which included the meal, one glass of champagne, and one glass of wine.

For context, you could dine at Palo every night on a four-night Disney Wish cruise for about the same cost.

Despite the high price, this was truly one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. The food, service, and ambiance were exceptional, and I would absolutely do it again—though next time, I’ll skip the truffles and champagne to keep the cost more reasonable.

I really hope there’s a next time. Maybe I can actually have that anniversary dinner.
