Disney Cruise Line: Remy Featuring Pompidou's Patisseries Dessert Experience

On our recent cruise aboard the Disney Fantasy in August, we were interested in trying a new experience at the wonderful French adult-exclusive restaurant Remy.  We have loved the fabulous Champagne Brunch on previous sailings, (as well as the famous brunch at the Italian restaurant, Palo).  As family dinners together are one of the highlights of vacation for us, we are not quite ready to ditch our daughter for an adult dining experience in the evenings yet.  So this afternoon dessert experience, offered just once during a 7-night sailing, seemed the perfect fit!


The Disney Cruise Line website says, "Treat your taste buds to a sweet selection of delectable desserts. "Remy Featuring Pompidou's Patisseries Dessert Experience" is an adults-only dining event named after the dessert chef from the film Ratatouille. Enjoy a 5-course dessert menu, coffee and an in-depth discussion with the Executive Chef and Executive Pastry Chef of Remy. As each dessert is presented, they'll explain its history and evolution."







The dessert experience at Remy costs $50 per person and includes one complimentary glass of champagne.  The optional wine pairing can be added for $25 per person.  It is offered once during a 7-night sailing, at 3:30pm on the third sea day, and has a very limited number of seats.  So book early if this is something you are interested in! (If you are sailing concierge, the shoreside concierge team will book this for you at 120 days.)


To preserve the elegant atmosphere, you are asked to adhere to a strict dress code when dining at Remy.  Our experience was finished around 5pm,
and honestly, we had little to no appetite for dinner since we had the early seating at 5:45pm.


I would also mention that my husband does not eat gluten, and he was still able to partake in this wonderful experience.  The desserts were either modified or substituted for his preference.  (He does not have a severe gluten allergy, but rather a dietary preference for medical reasons.)



I wish I had taken notes during the experience since I do not remember much of what we learned along our culinary journey through these six sumptuous full sized desserts.  But I do know that I enjoyed every single bite, and said several times throughout that it was worth every penny.  And I did do well with the photos, and that must be worth something!

The chef prepared this raspberry dessert for my husband, who does not eat gluten.  

Chocolat Abricot

At the end of the experience, we were each given two macarons (my husband was given gluten free macarons).  Of course, by that time we were all so full that we could not eat a bite.  But those macarons were awfully yummy as a late-night treat after a few cocktails at Skyline!
