PARIS - As soon as we booked the Eurostar from London to Paris, we began scouting the most important element of our trip: where to eat.
The place we were especially interested in is an incredibly popular spot that serves classic French food, with a twist. Unlike many Parisian restaurants, it takes few walk-ins because demand is so high. In fact, two months out, every seat was already fully booked for dinner. The only reservation we could get was for a weekday lunch.
Was this a hot new opening featuring a viral pastry? Perhaps a legendary place with a Michelin star or two?
No. It is Bistrot Chez Remy in Disneyland Paris, and it is a homage to Ratatouille, Pixar's hit 2007 animated film that follows the adventures of a rat who can cook.
The restaurant's setting is Place de Remy in Disneyland's Parc Walt Disney Studios, on the outskirts of Paris in Marne-la-Vallee.
Chez Remy's location is one of the least fantastical areas in the resort: a cobbled square designed to look like a Parisian one, ringed with Haussmann buildings. To access this square and the restaurant, you must buy a ticket to the park, starting at £47 (S$80), which also gives you access to the rides.
