Renowned French chef Jean Imbert delves into the fantasy of Disneyland Paris to open his own restaurant inspired by his childhood memories and the magical Disney story. Dubbed ‘La Forêt Secrète’, the concept envelops diners in fairy tales through creations that remaster memorable film dishes such as Rémy’s ratatouille.

The interior, décor and design of the space is set in an enchanted forest theme, with colossal chandeliers hanging from the ceilings, intricate bird motifs and lush green details. The tableware also serves the function with elegant silver cutlery or the mythical Beauty and the Beast teapot.

Located in the newly renovated Disneyland Hotel, the chef combines haute cuisine with Disney charm in his proposal within an enveloping forest for which he has created exquisite French dishes such as his seafood, in the form of a tribute to ‘The Little Mermaid’, along with special drinks such as Mrs. Potts’ concoction from “Beauty and the Beast”.

Despite being a fine dining restaurant, there is also a section dedicated to stimulating the fantasy of the little ones with playful options such as the ‘fairy godmother’s soup’ or the ‘fish & chips of the lantern festival from “Tangled”.

Desserts reimagined by pastry chef Axel Michenau round off the experience with delicacies such as ‘Mickey soufflé’.
