Be Our Guest – Ratatouille
This is our first of two blogs from our visit to Be Our Guest Restaurant in Magic Kingdom during the 2017 to Mickey’s Christmas Party. Sadly, this dish is no longer on the menu. That absolutely breaks my heart because the Be Our Guest Ratatouille was, without a doubt, one of the best dishes I have ever had on Disney property.
With all the cookies, pretzels, and hot chocolate that I knew would make me stray from my Paleo Diet, I wanted to be certain that my dinner was on point. Our amazing Disney Chef did an incredible job creating a beautiful and tasty dish for me. Although you can no longer find this on the menu, I still wanted to share the photos with you as they are a true masterpiece.
The ambiance at the Beast’s castle is beautiful any time of year. Sadly, I am a terrible photo taker and none of the ones I took came out good enough to share. I will tell you that I started to tear up when the Beast paraded through the dining room. Yes, I am just a big softy and cry at just about anything Disney.
The Be Our Guest Ratatouille was a vegetarian and Paleo Diet delight. I hope there is still a way to get this dish. I will ask about it my next visit and share the update on this page. As you can see in the photo, the chef layered the vegetables in the dish. It really blew my mind when it arrived at the table. Tomatoes, eggplant, zucchini, and mushrooms in a delicate sauce. All I can say is that it took every ounce of restraint not to lick the bowl clean.
