Disneyland Hotel unveils menus for La Table de Lumière and Royal Banquet

As the Disneyland Hotel prepares to reopen on 25 January 2024, we get a preview of the royal culinary experience we can expect at the hotel.

Chef Laurent Lesage has an impressive background in prestigious kitchens, including the Royal Monceau in Paris and the Michelin-starred restaurant El Bulli in Spain. He joined Disneyland Paris in 2017 and worked at various restaurants in the resort before becoming involved in the reopening of La Table de Lumière.

Chef Olivier Arthur began his career at Disneyland Paris 24 years ago as an assistant chef de partie. After working in various restaurants at the resort, he is now returning to his roots as head chef at the Royal Banquet.

Both chefs are enthusiastic about their role in the reopening of the Disneyland Hotel. Chef Laurent Lesage emphasises the inspiration he found in reopening a restaurant and designing a menu for La Table de Lumière, with particular attention to excellence in every detail of the dishes. Chef Olivier Arthur adds that the reopening of the iconic hotel is a unique adventure in which they are delighted to participate.

The gentlemen worked on the design of the kitchens in collaboration with internal teams responsible for interior design. They had a say in the menu design and worked closely with the FOOD Research & Development team to ensure that the dishes reflected Disney's themes and stories.

La Table de Lumière will offer a refined menu featuring high-quality, expertly prepared French ingredients. The restaurant will serve unique dishes, including langoustines with a shellfish coulis and cauliflower purée, as well as reinvented traditional recipes, such as beef parmentier for children.

On the other hand, the Royal Banquet offers guests a wide range of wines and beverages carefully selected by the Beverage team. La Table de Lumière's children's menu takes pride of place, with themed dishes and special desserts, such as La Rose Enchantée, inspired by Beauty and the Beast.

With the reopening just around the corner, the chefs are feeling studious as they make their final preparations. However, they are confident and can't wait to welcome their first guests to this new culinary experience at the Disneyland Hotel.
