For guests sailing aboard the Disney Wish, one of the most exclusive dining experiences at sea isn’t included in your cruise fare and it may also be the most luxurious. Hidden at the top of the ship is Enchanté, an adults-only restaurant offering refined French cuisine, impeccable service, and a price tag to match.
But is this upscale dining experience actually worth the splurge? Here’s everything you need to know before booking.
A Fine-Dining Experience at Sea
Enchanté is designed as a quiet, romantic escape from the ship’s bustling family atmosphere. Inspired by classic French gastronomy and overseen by three-Michelin-starred chef Arnaud Lallement, the restaurant focuses on precision, artistry, and premium ingredients.
Unlike the themed rotational dining rooms Disney Cruise Line is known for, Enchanté emphasizes elegance over entertainment. Expect soft lighting, attentive service, and a slower, multi-course experience intended to be savored rather than rushed.
Reservations are required, and guests must be 18 or older.
How Much Does Enchanté Cost?
Enchanté is not included in your cruise fare, and prices vary depending on the experience you choose.
Typical pricing tiers include:
-
Prix-fixe dinner menus: about $135–$205 per person
-
Lunch or brunch experiences: roughly $145 per person
-
Dessert experience: about $65–$70 per person
-
Wine or champagne pairings: additional cost
These premium prices place Enchanté among the most expensive dining options on any cruise ship. An automatic gratuity is typically added as well.
What’s on the Menu?
Enchanté offers several menu styles, from multi-course tasting experiences to à la carte selections.
Multi-Course Tasting Menus
Guests can choose between shorter and longer tasting menus, often featuring six to nine courses. Dishes change periodically based on seasonal ingredients and the chef’s creativity, but sample offerings include:
-
Soil-grown tomatoes with confit and tomato water
-
Langoustines with citrus accents
-
Wild halibut with onion confit
-
Wagyu or premium beef dishes
-
Cheese course
-
Artful plated desserts
These menus are designed as a culinary journey, with each course carefully paced and presented.
À La Carte Options
For those who prefer flexibility, individual dishes may be ordered separately, including premium seafood, caviar, and specialty meats. Prices per dish can range widely depending on ingredients.
Dessert Experience
A standalone dessert tasting is also available, offering elaborate sweets and pastries for guests who want a shorter, indulgent experience without committing to a full meal.
Atmosphere and Dress Code
Enchanté maintains a semi-formal dress standard. Guests are encouraged to wear attire such as collared shirts, dresses, or elegant casual wear, more refined than typical cruise clothing.
There are no character appearances, loud music, or theatrical elements. Instead, the focus is entirely on food, service, and ambiance.
Is Enchanté Worth It?
Whether Enchanté is worth the cost depends largely on what you’re looking for.
It’s ideal for:
-
Food enthusiasts seeking Michelin-inspired cuisine
-
Couples celebrating a special occasion
-
Guests wanting a quiet, upscale evening
-
Travelers who enjoy tasting menus and fine dining
It may not be ideal for:
-
Budget-conscious travelers
-
Guests who prefer casual or familiar food
-
Families looking for entertainment during dinner
Many guests consider it a highlight of their cruise, praising the intimate atmosphere and culinary creativity. Others feel the price is difficult to justify compared with the already strong dining included onboard.
Enchanté is less about simply eating dinner and more about experiencing haute cuisine at sea. For travelers who appreciate fine dining, it can deliver a memorable — and very indulgent — night. For others, the high cost may outweigh the benefits when excellent meals are already included elsewhere on the ship.
If you’re celebrating something special or want a truly upscale escape from the family-friendly energy of the Disney Wish, Enchanté may be worth the splurge. Otherwise, you may find plenty of satisfying options without the extra expense.
