Disneyland Paris interviewed Olivier Arthur, chef at the new Regal View Restaurant & Lounge at Disney Adventure World, in which he shares the design approach behind the menu.

Interview with Olivier Arthur

The interview with Chef Olivier Arthur begins by asking about the design approach for the menu:

The overall approach was first to understand the story of the place before thinking about the cuisine. The Regal View Restaurant & Lounge is imagined as the vacation residence of the princesses: an elegant, soothing space where they gather and relax, with different outfits—something that doesn’t exist anywhere else. We wanted the culinary experience to extend this atmosphere. From a gastronomic perspective, this translated into a cosmopolitan, harmonious, and accessible cuisine, inspired by the worlds of the different princesses without falling into literal illustration. Each dish evokes a color, an energy, or a memory, but always with subtlety. The objective was not to recreate a story exactly as it is, but to suggest it through flavors, textures, and presentation. In this way, we built a coherent experience where the décor, the narrative, and the dishes naturally interact. 

This follows with the story behind the restaurant as a gathering place of all the princesses that live around Adventure Bay, as it will serve as the first Character Dining restaurant in Disney Adventure World (formerly Walt Disney Studios). The Lounge will also be the first bar in either Disneyland Paris parks. He says the following about having to design the menu for a European audience:

Working for a European audience requires considering diversity from the very design of the menu. Guests come from different cultural backgrounds, with varied taste references. We therefore sought a balance between familiarity and openness. The dishes remain accessible, but incorporate subtle touches inspired by other cultures. The idea is for everyone to find something they recognize, while also being invited to discover something new. 

The interview ends with the question of what recommendations the chef would give:

If I had to recommend two signature creations, I would first choose the vegetable and pastrami egg roll, inspired by Snow White’s universe. Visually, it resembles a tree trunk hiding a marquetry of vegetables at its heart. It is a starter designed for children, with comforting flavors and a playful presentation that invites discovery. The idea was to offer something familiar, but presented in a creative and immersive way. For the main course, I would mention the roasted guinea fowl with oriental flavors, inspired by Jasmine’s universe. We worked with mild spices, dried fruits, and preserved lemon to bring warmth and aromatic depth. The plating, with the leg carefully rolled and elegantly presented, reflects the elegance and richness of this world. These two dishes perfectly illustrate the balance we aimed for: cuisine that is accessible, narrative, and harmonious.

World of Frozen opens on March 29, 2026, and Walt Disney Studios Park will officially be renamed Disney Adventure World that same day. World of Frozen will include an Anna and Elsa meet and greet inside Arendelle Castle, the Frozen Ever After attraction, a boat show, shopping, dining, and an impressive self-walking, “living” animatronic Olaf. It was recently revealed that during the preview dates, a voucher will be required to ride Frozen Ever After once.
