Be Our Guest Restaurant – New Prix Fixe Menu

Published on July 30, 2018 in Orlando/Walt Disney World by Crystal Boston

On Friday, July 27, 2018 Be Our Guest Restaurant debuted its new prix fixe menu for dinner and I was there to experience it!

The new prix fixe, 3-course menu features French-inspired dishes and includes an appetizer, main entrée and a trio dessert as well as non-alcoholic beverages and bread service. Adult beverages may be purchased for an additional charge.

For our appetizers we chose the Maine Lobster Bisque and Assorted Meats and Artisanal Cheese Selection. Both were very good, and the meat and cheese tray was much better than the previous cheese plate they offered at dinner service.

While all of the new menu items sounded amazing, we chose the Spice-Dusted Lamb Chops and Saffron-Infused Seafood Bouillabaisse as our entrées. Both were delicious and prepared to perfection! I am looking forward to trying other entrée options available on the menu.

Dessert is an amazing trio served on a platter with a ‘stained glass’ overlay that is edible. Every single bite was oh so delicious – but I do love my desserts!

And, for everyone wanting to know… The Beast still receives Guests in the library following dinner but, as many have anticipated, Belle was not one of the new additions to this Signature Dining experience.

I highly recommend the new prix fixe menu, my only disappointment was that they no longer do the “rose” napkins…

For dinner service, Be Our Guest Restaurant is a Signature Dining experience which requires 2 Table Service Credits when using the Disney Dining Plan. Current pricing, when not using a Dining Plan, is $55.00 for adults ages 10+ and $35 for children ages 3-9, tax and gratuity are not included. Breakfast and Lunch are still Quick Service options but do require reservations as well.

And here’s a little tip – if you reserve your dinner about 1 ½ hours before ‘Happily Ever After’ you will be able to view the fireworks show from the bridge just as you are leaving the Beasts’ Castle! #wishtips

Maria & Enzo’s Ristorante at Disney Springs

Maria & Enzo’s Ristorante opened early January 2018 and started serving Sunday Brunch shortly before the Easter holiday. I was just able to enjoy my first experience at Maria & Enzo’s Ristorante and I chose the Sunday Brunch.

The restaurant theming is set in an airline terminal from the 1930s. On arrival you “check-in” and are then escorted down a flight of stairs where the dining area is a large airy space with floor-to-ceiling views of Lake Buena Vista.

Flight memorabilia, including vintage maps and artifacts, are on display throughout the dining room to provide the aviation theme.

The Sunday Brunch includes Prix Fixe buffet selections for your starter, entree, and dessert. The Salami and Cheese Station was delicious as well as the Antipasti Station. Entrees included with your Sunday Brunch are Spaghetti alla Carbonara, New York Strip Steak and Eggs and Poached Hen Egg and Quinoa-Kale Salad in addition to a few other selections.
The dessert was a delicious chocolate fountain with fresh dried fruits and tasty sweets to cover with chocolate! You can also choose other breakfast/lunch menu items for an additional charge, including Endless Mimosas or Bellini for just $15.00!

The current (July 22, 2018) cost is $35 per adult and kids eat free.

If you are looking for a relaxed yet unique Sunday Brunch experience, Maria & Enzo’s Ristorante is a great experience. Advance reservations are highly recommended and can be made online or by calling (407) 939-3463. Same day seating without reservations was a one hour wait time on the day I experienced Sunday Brunch but we had no wait time at all with our confirmed reservation.
