La Table de Lumiere Disneyland Paris: Honest Review & Menu

La Table de Lumiere - or La Table de Lumière as it's officially known - is the Beauty and the Beast themed fine dining restaurant inside Disneyland Hotel, and it's the best meal I've had at Disneyland Paris, so it gets the full 5/5 from us. The set menu costs €120 per adult and €60 per child aged 3 to 11, with princes and princesses visiting your table between courses. Here is our honest review of the experience.

Article Summary

  • Our verdict: 5/5. The best meal we've had at Disneyland Paris.
  • Price: €120 per adult and €60 per child aged 3 to 11.
  • What you get: A three-course set menu served from 6pm to 10.30pm, with Disney princes and princesses visiting your table.
  • Who can book: Anyone. You don't need a Disneyland Hotel room, but tables are limited. This policy does change at busier times.
  • Best way to book: Add it when you book your package direct with Disney, because tables don't always show in the app later.
  • Meal plans: Included in the Premium Meal Plan, which only Disneyland Hotel guests can buy. Value of lower tier meal plans can be used to offset the cost.

Read on for the June 2026 menu in English, what dinner costs for a family of four, photos of every course we ate and how to get a table without staying at Disneyland Hotel.

Disclaimer - We know Disney spells La Table de Lumiere as La Table de Lumière (with an accent), but most Brits don't type an è when searching for reviews of this restaurant, so we'll stick to using "Lumiere" for the rest of this honest review.

What Is La Table de Lumiere At Disneyland Hotel?

La Table de Lumiere is one of two fine dining restaurants inside Disneyland Hotel, the five-star hotel located at the entrance to Disneyland Park. The other is La Forêt Secrète. Disney based the room on the Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles and added Beauty and the Beast theming throughout. If someone mentions the Lumiere restaurant at Disneyland Paris, this is the one they mean. It's open for dinner only, from 6pm until 10.30pm.

We ate there on the second night of our first Disneyland Hotel stay, with a table booked for 6.30pm. There are two main dining rooms. The front room is the quieter of the two and is separated from the back by an open kitchen, so you can watch the chefs at work. That's where we sat, at a window table looking out over Disneyland Park.

The back room is the showpiece. It's a circular room with a rotating Beauty and the Beast statue under the chandelier, and we only wandered through for a look. We didn't know at the time that you can ask to sit anywhere in the restaurant, and as much as we liked the front room, next time I'll ask for a table in the back.

Every table has a Beauty and the Beast rose under a glass dome, and the room is full of mirrors and chandeliers. It's one of the most impressive dining rooms I've sat in at any Disney park.

How Much Does La Table de Lumiere Cost?

La Table de Lumiere costs €120 per adult for the set menu, which Disney calls the Royal Menu, and €60 per child aged 3 to 11 for the Lumiere's Little Guests menu. Anyone aged 12 or over pays the adult price. The children's menu includes a drink (water, juice or milk), while adults pay for drinks on top.

Please note that dinner on 24th and 31st December is charged at a higher festive price, so check before booking a Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve table.

Item Price In Pounds
Royal Menu (adults 12+) €120 £103.20
Lumiere's Little Guests menu (ages 3 to 11, drink included) €60 £51.60
Champagne flight (3 x 10cl) €60 £51.60
Wine flight (3 x 10cl) €50 £43.00
Birthday dessert to share (2+ people) €25 £21.50
Birthday dessert to share (6+ people) €45 £38.70
Coca-Cola (33cl) €9 £7.74
Vittel water (50cl) €8 £6.88

Prices from the La Table de Lumiere menu dated June 2026. Pound figures use €1 = £0.86 and your card provider's rate will differ.

Here's what that adds up to for a few typical parties, before drinks.

Party Menu Cost In Pounds
Couple (2 adults) €240 £206.40
Family of 4 (2 adults, 2 children aged 3 to 11) €360 £309.60
3 adults and 3 children aged 3 to 11 €540 £464.40
Couple with a champagne flight each €360 £309.60

Totals worked out from the June 2026 menu prices at €1 = £0.86.

If you add the dinner to your package, you pay in pounds up front instead of euros on the night. When I checked on Disney's website, it was £214.00 for two adults. Paying €240 on the night works out at £206.40, so booking ahead cost £7.60 more on that quote, before any fees your card charges for paying in euros. I'd happily pay that for a guaranteed table.

La Table de Lumiere Menu In English (2026-2027)

The menu is printed in French and English, and it does change from time to time. These are the dishes on the current menu, dated June 2026, which you can download as a PDF from Disney. Adults choose a starter, a main course and a dessert, and children do the same from their own menu.

Course Royal Menu (€120) Little Guests Menu (€60)
Starter Courgette and olive tart, tomato and stracciatella salad with pineapple sorbet, warm duck terrine en croûte, sea bass tartare with wasabi ice cream, or a 64-degree Loué egg with petits pois cream Crudités with cocktail sauce, tomato tatin with mozzarella, a salmon and lemon ice pop, or a Loué egg with comté foam
Main course Soy and wheat medallion, sole on the bone with Isigny butter, Label Rouge salmon with roasted fennel, roast French beef with potato mille-feuille, farmhouse pork fillet with black garlic sauce, or rotisserie Label Rouge chicken with confit potatoes Organic pasta with cream, tomato or butter, pan-fried salmon, French beef steak, a croque de bœuf burger sandwich with straw potatoes, or corn-fed chicken

Dishes from the La Table de Lumiere menu dated June 2026, shortened from Disney's descriptions. The menu can change without notice.

If you don't drink alcohol, the drinks flights are optional. A Coca-Cola is €9 and a 50cl bottle of Vittel is €8, which is very pricey. The menu also says drinking water is available at no charge. If you have allergies, Cast Members can give you an allergen list on request.

What We Ate At La Table de Lumiere

Before the first plate arrived, our server asked if we liked stories. Who doesn't? Each course was then presented as a chapter of our story for the evening, with princes and princesses joining in as they came round the tables.

First came a small palate cleanser of butternut squash and apple. It's an odd pairing on paper and on the first spoonful, then it settles down and works.

Starters

To start, we had the freshly cooked langoustines with shellfish coulis, cauliflower purée and lemon caviar, and the Red Label œufs de Loué fried egg with potatoes, baby spinach and Comté AOP cream.

The langoustines were fresh and tasty. The trick is getting every component on the fork at once, because that's where the flavour comes together, and the cauliflower purée melts in your mouth.

The egg was my favourite course of the meal. It was perfectly cooked inside the breadcrumbs, and the potato base underneath was just as good.

Main Courses

For mains we had the farm chicken cooked two ways, a herby roast breast and poached leg with supreme sauce and confit potato, and the roast Montbéliarde beef with potato ribbons, sweet onion cream and Merlot jus.

The chicken was fresh and juicy, and the supreme sauce was lovely. The confit potatoes fell apart as soon as my fork touched them.

The beef was tender and the Merlot jus was lovely. I like my potatoes very soft and these ribbons were right on the edge of that, but I loved the way they were laid out on the plate. The portion looked small when it arrived, but I was still satisfied by the end of it.

Desserts And The Story Finale

For dessert we had the Enchanted Ball Cake, made with white chocolate ganache, a vanilla pear insert and dacquoise biscuit, and the Royal Indulgence, which is creamy chocolate with basil, thin sheets of dark chocolate and caramelised almonds.

The ganache on the Enchanted Ball Cake was top notch. The change in texture when you hit the pear insert catches you off guard, but the dessert works well as a whole.

The Royal Indulgence is one of the most bizarre desserts I've ever had. Yes, that's chocolate and basil together. Our server told us to trust it, so we did. The first bite is all chocolate, then the basil hits and a confused look spreads across your face. By the next bite it all comes together and tastes delicious. I'm not sure how it works, but it does.

Just as we thought we were done, our server brought over the story finale, a dessert after our desserts. It was a plate of bite-sized meringues with raspberry and cream, plus praline chocolate on sponge, and both were very nice. We finished with coffee, which wasn't included in the menu price.

Which Princes And Princesses Are At La Table de Lumiere?

During dinner, Disney princesses and their princes come round each table to chat and pose for photos. Belle and Prince Adam were first to our table, followed by Aurora and Prince Phillip. Cinderella and Prince Charming came over later on. Disney says the characters can vary, so you may not meet the same couples we did.

I'm not a big face character person, and I'd take a game of charades with Chip 'n' Dale over small talk with royalty any day of the week. Even so, none of it felt awkward. The characters are good at reading the room, so if you'd rather keep it brief they'll take the hint.

The Cast Members we chatted to told us speaking characters at Disneyland Paris need to speak both English and French, yet Prince Adam never said a word. With two tables of English guests around us, he smiled and nodded the whole time while Belle did the talking, which tickled us a little.

For children who love the princesses, this is the part they'll remember most. If your kids would rather meet Mickey and Minnie, the Royal Banquet buffet in the same hotel has them dressed in royal outfits.

La Table de Lumiere Service And Drinks

Our server, Laura, and her team were fantastic. Laura was attentive and friendly, and clearly enthusiastic about the whole evening. On a completely unrelated note, her accent was an interesting mix of English and American. Perhaps she'd picked some of it up from American sitcoms, which Cast Members later told me is quite common for Europeans learning English.

This trip was also a Valentine's Day surprise for my fiancée (now my wife), so I treated us to the Disneyland Hotel exclusive champagne, which was €150 a bottle when we visited. We'd thought about the champagne pairing, but neither of us likes every champagne, and at €60 each for three 10cl glasses the value wasn't there for us. We'd rather have a bottle of something we like, or in this case something exclusive to try. The June 2026 menu lists the champagne flight at €60, alongside a wine flight at €50.

The champagne was easy to drink and not too fizzy. It wasn't quite as nice as our usual Veuve Clicquot, but it's a unique blend in a gorgeous bottle, and we'd probably order it again. They let you keep the bottle and cork, which we did, and the bottle now sits on my office shelf.

Is There A Dress Code At La Table de Lumiere?

There's no dress code enforced at La Table de Lumiere, but plenty of diners dress up for it. I wore a shirt and trousers and my wife wore a nice dress, and we fitted right in. Theme park clothes are allowed, but I wouldn't recommend them, because most people around you will have made an effort.

Do You Have To Stay At Disneyland Hotel To Eat At La Table de Lumiere?

No. As of 28th October 2026 you don't need a Disneyland Hotel room to book La Table de Lumiere. When the hotel reopened in January 2024, tables were only for guests staying at Disneyland Hotel, and access can still be restricted when the hotel is busy, so don't assume a table will be there for you.

It's also one of the few ways to get inside Disneyland Hotel and have a look around without paying for a room. The other ways in are the Fleur de Lys Bar and the hotel's other restaurants, and dinner here is the one I'd pick.

How To Book La Table de Lumiere

The most reliable way to get a table is to add it to your package at the time you book. Availability doesn't always appear in the Disneyland Paris app afterwards, so if you leave it until later you could find nothing there. This is how I'd do it.

  1. Book your Disneyland Paris package. Book a hotel and ticket package direct with Disney, either through Disney Holidays if you want transport included or DisneylandParis.com for hotel and tickets only. You don't have to pick Disneyland Hotel.
  2. Add the dinner while you book. Look for the La Table de Lumiere dinner with Disney princes and princesses among the extras, then choose your date and time slot. The price covers your whole party.
  3. Call to add it if you've already booked. Disney Holidays customers can call the Disney Experts free on 0800 169 0737. If you booked through DisneylandParis.com, contact Disneyland Paris to add it to your package.
  4. Keep checking the app. Disney says some restaurants release tables closer to the date, so look regularly if nothing shows the first time and you didn't add a table to your booking.

If you're staying at any Disney Hotel, you can start booking restaurants as soon as your booking is confirmed and linked to your Disney account. Everyone else can book up to two months ahead. In the screenshot below, the dinner shows as an add-on with 6pm, 7pm, 7.30pm and 8pm time slots.

Disneyland Hotel sits at the entrance to Disneyland Park, a short walk from Marne-la-Vallée-Chessy station. If you're coming by train from the UK, you'll take Eurostar from London St Pancras to Lille Europe and change there onto a TGV to Marne-la-Vallée-Chessy. A Disney Holidays package can include that train journey with your hotel and tickets in one booking, and our Disneyland Paris offers guide for UK guests lists the current deals.

Is La Table de Lumiere Included In The Meal Plan?

Yes, but only on the top tier. La Table de Lumiere is included in the Premium Meal Plan, and only guests staying at Disneyland Hotel can buy that plan. If you're staying elsewhere on a different meal plan, you can use your meal voucher for its euro value towards the bill and pay the difference.

The meal plans change for arrivals from 1st April 2027, when Premium is replaced by the Royal Meal Plan. Royal includes La Table de Lumiere and is also only available to Disneyland Hotel guests.

Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve are the exception on every plan. On 24th and 31st December, meal plan vouchers only count for their cash value and you pay the rest of the festive menu price.

Is La Table de Lumiere Worth It? Our Verdict

Yes. La Table de Lumiere is the best meal I've had at Disneyland Paris and one of the best dining experiences I've had at any Disney restaurant. There was some sticker shock when I first saw €120 a head, but I don't think it's overpriced for what you get. The room is stunning and the food is a level above anything else we've eaten there. Having the princes and princesses turn up as part of your own story suits the hotel's royal theme too.

It's best for couples celebrating something special and for princess fans of any age. It's also one of the few ways to see inside Disneyland Hotel without booking a room. If your children are fussy eaters or would rather meet Mickey than Cinderella, €60 each is a lot to spend, and the Royal Banquet might suit them better.

La Table de Lumiere 5 out of 5 star rating
Our Verdict: 5/5
