Enchanting Enchanté (Canapes to Mains)

A meal that deserves it's own footprint.
Enchanté is an adults only restaurant with the menus set by a Michelin starred french chef, Chef Arnaud Lallement. The restaurant is at the fancy level of having a water menu, and a bottle of wine on the menu costing $10,000. 🤯 Thankfully, not a wine Heath wants to drink. 😬

We've been on the sister ship, the Wish, back in 2023, and dinner at Enchanté was spectacular. And knowing that the menus change every few months means we don't get the same experience this time.

Enchanté is loosely themed on Beauty and the Beast, and the host is Lumiere, so ue greets you as you arrive. The rest if the restaurant is pretty elegant, with a champagne tilt to it - hence a bubbles chandelier, and light colours.

We chose the tasting menu - "The Collection". If you include every little course including amuse bouche and "surprises from the chef" it was 10 courses, plus award winning French sourdough bread (and plenty of that!).

Heath had a glass of champagne to start and I had a fruit cocktail, but through the meal we both had the zero proof drinks pairing. Which turned out to be amazing value and a nice way of tasting some of the zero proof spirits out there.

Every course was amazing, but the halibut was absolutely perfect and the Wagyu beef phenomenal - and weirdly went well with the zero proof old-fashioned that had arrived in a box with smoke in.

The courses went, canapés, amuse bouche (didn't catch what it was), hawaiian scallop, John dory on seaweed and sea cucumber mayo, shrimp tartar with caviar, lobster 4 ways, halibut and Wagyu beef.

The zero proof cocktails were fruit punch, gin and fizz, strawberry split, gin and raspberry, then the old fashioned. All zero proof. V cool and tasty. Not 100% convinced on the old fashioned and bourbon flavour, but it did go with the beef, so it's forgiven.

So many tasty things that another footprint is needed for the final courses...Read more
