ICYMI: Be Our Guest Becoming Signature Dining for Dinner Plus a Brand New Menu

News broke mid-week with a blog post on the Disney Parks Blog that a new enhanced dining experience would be coming to Be Our Guest. With this new menu the restaurant that has been highly popular since it opened almost 5 years ago will now become a Signature Dining experience for dinner and if you are on the Disney Dining Plan it will cost 2 Table-Service credits. The restaurant will remain a quick service location for lunch and will remain serving breakfast as well. 

Back to dinner as now the new menu will be a prix fixe menu that will boast delectable French-inspired dishes and new offerings. The new and unique experience will allow guests to enjoy a wonderful 3-course meal with there choice of an appetizer and an entree, and then ending with a personal dessert platter. 

To start off the meal, the appetizer menu will include favorites like the French Onion Soup in addition to rich new offerings like Charred Octopus with citrus-laced fingerling potatoes, pickled hearts of palm and red pepper coulis; Escargot with herb garlic butter and toasted gremolata (pictured above); and a selection of assorted meats and artisanal cheeses such as chicken liver pâté, chorizo sausage Manchego, and truffle tremor.

For the main course, feast on mouth-watering entrées such as Grilled Center-Cut Filet Mignon with potato au gratin, Romano beans, Cipollini marmalade and a cherry-laced red wine reduction(pictured below) and the Smoked Black-Eye Pea Tortellini with roasted seasonal vegetables, tomato relish and basil-scented tomato water. Other enticing dishes include Poulet Rouge Chicken, Saffron-Infused Seafood Bouillabaisse, Roasted Lamb Chops and Kurobuta Pork Tenderloins (pictured above).

The chefs are currently working on a new dessert menu as well as a kids menu for this new and exquisite dining experience. Stay tuned in the coming months for updates on those menus as well. The new enhanced dining experience will begin July 27 and you now can make reservations by calling 407-WDW-DINE (407-939-3463) or by booking online.
