About The Regal View Restaurant
The Regal View Restaurant & Lounge opened on 29th March 2026, as part of the wider launch of World of Frozen and the renaming of Walt Disney Studios Park to Disney Adventure World.
It's a princess-themed character dining restaurant - meaning you eat your meal while Disney princess characters visit your table - and it sits at the top of Adventure Way, just beyond Rapunzel's Tangled Spin. We had dinner there, and here's our honest Regal View Restaurant review.
It's worth adding that Disneyland Park next door already has Auberge de Cendrillon in Fantasyland, and there's princess-adjacent dining over at the Disneyland Hotel too - so a third princess character dining experience at Disneyland Paris is an interesting choice. That said, given how quickly those other princess restaurants tend to book up, the demand clearly justifies it. As far as the theming goes, the restaurant fits the area very well - it feels like it belongs.
The Regal View Restaurant Theming and Atmosphere
When you check in, you're greeted by a waiting area with very bold, very purple plush seating.
On the way to your table you pass a corridor of princess portraits, and then the main dining room opens up - and it does stop you in your tracks a little. The theming runs throughout everything: the carpet, the dividers, the artwork. It's cohesive rather than just decorated, which makes a difference. The tables are solid and the chairs comfortable, and despite the restaurant being busy, it didn't feel loud or cramped. The spacing between tables is generous, which is more of a rarity in character dining than it should be - anyone who's eaten at Crystal Palace at Magic Kingdom (Disney World's busy Winnie the Pooh character dining restaurant) will know exactly what I mean.
This particular corner of the room caught my eye enough to photograph it separately. The curtain design, the colour palette, the detailing - it all comes together well.
One of the standout design features is the princess mural artwork across the walls, featuring all the Disney princesses. It's the kind of thing that gives younger visitors plenty to look at between courses, and it's done well enough that it doesn't feel cheap.
The Regal View Restaurant Menu and Prices
Dinner is priced at €100 per adult and €50 per child. It's a prix-fixe three-course menu with about four options per course, and there are vegan and vegetarian options throughout.
You can get a more detailed look at the full menu, including the children's menu, in our Regal View Restaurant menu article.
Wine pairing is available at €25 per person, or champagne pairing at €40 per person. Depending on the size of your group, you may well find it works out better value to order a bottle between you instead - we did exactly that and went for the Disneyland Paris Pierre Mignon Champagne, which comes in at around €77-87 a bottle. It's very good, and well worth considering.
What Princesses Can You Meet at The Regal View Restaurant?
There are around six princesses in rotation across the restaurant's sittings, and you'll meet four of them during your meal. The lineup can include Ariel from The Little Mermaid, Aurora from Sleeping Beauty, Belle from Beauty and the Beast, Jasmine from Aladdin, Merida from Brave, and Mulan - from, as it turns out, Mulan.
I'll be upfront - I'm not personally a huge fan of face characters. For the uninitiated, face characters are the ones you have an actual conversation with (your Belles, your Ariels), as opposed to fur characters like Mickey or Donald, where interaction is more charades than chat. Give me Mickey and I'll happily play along all day, but sustained eye contact with someone playing a Disney princess is, let's say, not my tin of beans.
That said, they were all brilliant. They're well trained in how to read guests, and when they clock that they've landed at a table of fur-character people, they adapt well. Belle in particular was lovely. Ariel informed us that the reason we had two forks was obviously because one was for combing your hair - and that the second knife was for the men at the table to shave, something she has to keep reminding Eric about.
Merida was the highlight. One of our friends is Scottish, which was, predictably, all the ammunition Merida needed. She was full of energy throughout - they all were - but the best moment came when it was time for photos and she announced she supposed she'd better take some pictures with the English people now as well. Good stuff.
The Food
The menu is fairly adventurous. If you're a fussy eater, or travelling with one, this could be where it gets tricky. I wouldn't describe myself as particularly fussy, but I'm not hugely adventurous either - and looking at this menu on paper I was a bit apprehensive. I suspect I'm not alone in that, so it felt worth being upfront about before we get into the food itself.
Amuse-Bouche & Bread
The meal didn't get off to the strongest start on the food front - but it does get better from here, so stick with me.
First came the bread. Whether it was stale or just aggressively crispy by design, it was largely inedible. I wasn't prepared to risk a trip to the emergency dentist on day one of the trip, so I didn't dare bite down on it.
Then came the amuse-bouche - a single complimentary bite sent from the kitchen before the meal starts. It was cream based with a piece of watermelon on top. It was probably the most unusual amuse-bouche I've had. It did technically clear the palate, but the base on its own tasted almost like eating straight butter, and while the watermelon helped, the combination didn't quite work for anyone at the table. The amuse-bouche at La Table de Lumière was a little unconventional too, though edged this one. For reference, the best I've had at a Disney restaurant is the mushroom amuse-bouche at Palo on Disney Cruise Line - but that's a conversation for another day.
First Course
The starter options were:
- Courgette velouté, cauliflower tabbouleh with marigolds and a Colombo-spiced okra fritter
- Bluefin tuna tataki with sesame seeds, daikon and wakame salad, pineapple and Sichuan peppercorn chutney
- Swiss salad - raw and pickled fruit and vegetables, Grisons cured beef, Tête de Moine cheese, raspberry vinegar dressing and pine nuts
- Avocado and ginger mousse, mango tartare and pumpkin seed crumble with creamy dill oil sauce
Between the table we covered the tuna tataki, the Swiss salad and the courgette velouté. None of them were an obvious choice on first read, but I went for the velouté.
All three were good. The tuna was well liked, the salad fresh and well balanced. The courgette velouté - which eats a lot like a pea soup - was thankfully served hot (not always a given in France) and the fritters were a highlight. There's a swirl of cream that comes with it; I left mine separate as I'm not a fan of eating straight cream, but you can stir it in to add richness to the soup if that's your thing. We were all pleasantly surprised by the starters.
Second Course
The main course options were:
- Gilthead seabream, kaffir lime and vanilla sauce, sweet potato purée and braised bok choy
- North African-style roast guinea fowl with dried fruits and lemon confit
- Steak with onion confit, red wine sauce, potato pancake with Comté AOP and thyme
- Soy and pea fillet, herb crust and black garlic broth, pan-fried barley with mushrooms, chard and truffle, beer foam (vegetarian)
Between the table we had the seabream, the guinea fowl and the steak.
The seabream was enjoyable, assuming fish is your thing. The guinea fowl portion was on the smaller side, but the meat itself was good - less gamey than guinea fowl can sometimes be, which will matter to some people. The steak was decent; it came out a little cool rather than piping hot, but it wasn't off-putting, and the potato pancake was the highlight of the plate. The single stick of asparagus as the lone vegetable did make me chuckle - a couple more veggies wouldn't have gone amiss.
It's worth adding that the dishes are themed throughout - on the steak plate you can spot a little princess shoe worked into the presentation, which is a nice touch. As with the starters, all three mains were enjoyable and nobody left anything significant on the plate.
Third Course
The dessert options were:
- Vanilla ganache mousse cake, raspberry insert, crispy praline
- Tropical fruit and aloe vera salad, coconut emulsion (vegan)
- White chocolate, pineapple-passion fruit, almond and coconut mousse cake
- Marc de Champagne frozen soufflé
Between the table we had the vanilla ganache mousse cake, the coconut mousse cake and the frozen soufflé.
All three desserts were enjoyable. The vanilla ganache mousse cake was nicely themed with a little book detail, and in terms of taste it ate a lot like a Viennetta - which is not a criticism. The biscuits and chocolate dip that came alongside were good too. A strong finish to the meal overall.
To Finish
Once we were done, we were brought a plate of Regal View-branded macarons to finish. After all, it is France.
Should You Book The Regal View Restaurant?
If you're visiting Disney Adventure World with children who are into Disney princesses, this is probably the easiest recommendation on the site. The characters are excellent, the theming is some of the best at Disneyland Paris, and the food - despite a shaky start - is a step well above standard theme park dining, even if the price means it should be. There were plenty of kids dressed in princess and prince outfits during our visit, and the characters made a point of fussing over every single one of them. For a lot of parents, that alone justifies the bill.
For adults visiting without children it's still a solid experience. If your group has fussy eaters it might be a harder sell - but there's plenty here to enjoy.
One practical point for UK visitors - character dining at Disneyland Paris books up well in advance, particularly during UK school holidays. It's worth securing your reservation as early as possible once your trip is confirmed. Use the Disneyland Paris pricing calendar to find the cheapest dates for your visit, and book your hotel, tickets and transport package directly with Disney here.

Overall Thoughts
I'll be honest - I went in apprehensive. The menu read like something designed to test people who consider a chicken tikka masala adventurous, the face characters aren't really my thing, and at €100 a head it's not a small gamble. But I'm glad I went, and I'd go back.
There are a few rough edges. The bread was a write-off, the amuse-bouche didn't land, and a couple of the main course portions leaned on the smaller side for the price. These aren't dealbreakers, but they're worth knowing about going in.
The characters were excellent, the theming is great, and once the starters arrived the food delivered more than the menu descriptions might suggest. For a brand new restaurant that opened in March 2026, it's a strong debut.
In terms of where it sits in the Disneyland Paris dining pecking order, I'd put it below both La Forêt Secrète and La Table de Lumière - both of which are very good. That said, La Table de Lumière comes with the caveat that you currently need to be staying at the Disneyland Hotel to dine there, which puts it out of reach for a lot of visitors. Regal View is open to everyone, and for a princess character dining experience inside the parks, it's currently the best option on offer. If you're visiting Disney Adventure World and want a sit-down meal that goes beyond theme park food, it's worth booking.
