REVIEW: Every Meal from Tokyo Disney’s Most Expensive Counter Service Restaurant, Royal Banquet of Arendelle in Fantasy Springs


In the Frozen Kingdom section of Fantasy Springs at Tokyo DisneySea, guests can dine inside Anna and Elsa’s castle at the Royal Banquet of Arendelle. We enjoyed several meals at the restaurant during the port’s soft opening.

The restaurant is beautiful inside and out. It’s like eating inside Cinderella Castle or the Beast’s castle for the next generation. “Frozen” music plays inside.

There are several dining rooms inspired by different rooms seen in the “Frozen” films. Check out a full tour of Royal Banquet of Arendelle.

Calbee, Inc. sponsors the Royal Banquet of Arendelle. There are two adult meals called “Royal Sets”: seafood and beef. Both meals include potato gratin; bread, smoked salmon, trout, and orange salad; Olaf’s Marshmallow Cocoa Mousse; and a choice of soft drink. For an additional ¥390, you can upgrade the soft drink to a draft beer. For ¥340, you can upgrade the drink to wine. We also tried the kids’ meal.

The meals come on trays with golden filigree. All the food except the bread is in a blue square basket, under themed transparent plastic covers. The baskets are stackable — perfect if you’re ordering every meal.

This entrée is a beef pie.

There’s beef, cauliflower, and pasta inside. The beef is good quality. The pasta is cooked just right. It’s hot — which is a con in a Tokyo summer. But this is a good dish and will make a great winter meal.

The salad’s smoked salmon is solid for a counter-service. Though the description advertised trout, we didn’t see or taste any. There are fresh orange slices. It’s good.

The potato gratin has a nice cream sauce at the bottom but it’s not soaked through the whole dish. The potato is dry. The green bread on top weighs it all down. If the sauce was more evenly distributed, this would be great.

The bread is stamped with a bell image. It’s a nice soft bread. We’re surprised there’s not butter but it’s moist enough on its own.

It’s not bad, just not what we would expect in this dessert. It’s good mochi.

There are lumps of brownie cake and marshmallows in the mousse. It’s a great dessert. We love it.

The pie, bread, salmon, and dessert are good. We wish the potato gratin was better but it knocks a point off the meal.

There are big clumps of redfish in this pie. It’s a little too fishy but it’s not bad. The fish is flaky. We also found oysters. The sauce is a creamy bisque. Again, there’s well-cooked cauliflower and pasta. We prefer the beef but this isn’t bad.

The kids’ royal set includes meatball stew; potato salad; smoked salmon, trout, and orange salad; fruit jelly; rice flour bread; and apple juice.

There is fresh, well-cooked broccoli and cherry tomatoes in the meatball stew. The meatballs are fantastic. They’re made with high-quality ground beef. The sauce is great. It’s a little sweet and tangy.

The potato salad is visually gray and, frankly, it tastes gray too. There’s a weird sweetness and a saltiness. There’s no flavor to the potato. It’s off-putting and awful. The salad is basically the same as the salad with the adult meals.

The fruit jelly looked about as unappetizing as the potato salad. It’s not as bad as we thought it would be but it’s not good. The fruit inside is nice and fresh but the gelatin is flavorless. We wish it was just a fruit cup.

The kids’ bread doesn’t have the same bell stamp as the adult bread. It’s smaller and, unfortunately, much worse.

It has a doughy, mushy consistency. It tastes undercooked.

We would rate the meatballs a 7 but the salad a 5, potatoes a 0, bread a 1, and jelly a 2.
