- My family of 4 spent $300 dining at Be Our Guest, located in Magic Kingdom at Disney World.
- We've been here before, but we keep coming back for the delicious
food , especially the steak.
As a
Here's a glimpse at our last visit — including why I always recommend this dining experience.
The restaurant is inside the Beast's castle, and it currently serves lunch and dinner
Be Our Guest is currently open for lunch and dinner and offers a prix-fixe menu that costs $62 for adults and $37 for children.
Adults can choose an appetizer, entrée, and dessert, while kids get a choice of an appetizer, entrée with a side, dessert, and drink.
Specialty drinks and alcoholic beverages can be purchased for an extra charge.
It feels like you stepped into 'Beauty and the Beast'
The restaurant is based on "Beauty and the Beast," and there are three rooms you can be seated in: the ballroom, the rose gallery, and the "West Wing."
We were seated in the ballroom this time, which boasts a high, domed ceiling and chandeliers.
My children love to walk to the back to see the snowy scene under the Gothic arches.
The service was great, and we had plenty of time to explore the whole restaurant
Overall the service was efficient and the staff kind.
While we waited for our food, we explored the other rooms. My boys always like to see the enchanted rose in the "West Wing."
Soon, the Beast was announced, and he entered the ballroom to greet his guests. He visited each room to wave to onlookers, but Belle doesn't make an appearance at this restaurant.
Our drinks and appetizers got the meal off to a strong start
Our appetizers arrived quickly.
My husband chose the French onion soup, I ordered the country seasonal salad, and the kids both got the fruit-and-cheese plate.
The salad was delicious, fresh, and light. The soup was traditional, with lots of cheese — it was almost too filling for an appetizer.
The cheese plates were tasty, especially with my wine choice.
There's a nice selection of wines by the glass and bottle, and I recommend the Bella Glos pinot. There's also a small beer menu.
We almost always order the same entrée because it's so good
For our entrées, we all chose the center-cut filet mignon. We're guilty of getting this almost every time we come, and honestly, it's what keeps bringing us back.
The meat is so tender that it melts in your mouth. My only complaint about the side of mashed potatoes is that there's simply not enough of them. The green beans are perfectly cooked, crisp, and delicious.
But the red-wine sauce really makes the entire meal. I wish I could get the recipe for this divine accompaniment.
We've tried other entrées in the past, including the chicken and sea scallops. Both are great choices, but nothing compared to the filet — I daydream about it sometimes.
Our dessert was a fun end to a great meal
For dessert, we all got a trio of tiny treats with a lemon-jam macaron, chocolate tart, and dark-chocolate truffle.
The chocolate tart comes with "the gray stuff," and trust me, as Lumière sings in the movie, it's delicious.
The kids enjoyed their gray stuff in a small white-chocolate tea cup, which was absolutely adorable.
We're going to keep coming back to this incredible Disney spot
The meal cost about $300 after adding on the drinks and tip.
It's definitely a hefty price tag — even for
