Oh, where do I begin, darlings? My latest adventure took me to the stunning Enchanted Rose at Disney’s Grand Floridian, and let me tell you, it was nothing short of magical. If I could give this experience ten stars, I absolutely would—because five stars just isn’t enough to capture how much I loved this place. ✨
Now, as any queen knows, a dining experience is all about the details—the atmosphere, the food, the drinks, and, of course, the views. And Enchanted Rose at the Grand Floridian absolutely ticks all the boxes. So sit back, relax, and let me take you through the highlights of this enchanting dining spot!
First things first—the setting. If you’ve ever dreamed of sipping your wine while catching a glimpse of the Disney magic, Enchanted Rose is the place to make those dreams come true. We sat at the bar, which gave us the perfect view of the hotel pool and, of course, the beautiful building that is the Grand Floridian. While I may not have caught a glimpse of Cinderella herself (a girl can dream, right?), I was as happy as I could be as I sipped my wine. The whole atmosphere was absolutely captivating—a perfect mix of luxury and Disney magic. It’s like the best of both worlds.
The décor is elegant, with soft lighting and delicate floral accents, making it feel like you’ve stepped into a storybook. Whether you’re there for a cozy drink or a full dining experience, the vibe is always sophisticated, yet comfortable enough to let you feel at ease. It’s the kind of place where you can enjoy a magical evening with loved ones and truly soak in the enchanting surroundings.
Now, darlings, you know I love a good drink, and Enchanted Rose certainly delivered. I kicked things off with a French Rosé that was so cool it could have danced circles around my moves at a wedding (and believe me, that’s saying something). It was light, refreshing, and absolutely perfect for sipping while people watching.
But wait—there’s more! I also had the chance to sample a Kir Royale, which was a splurge at $29.50, but oh, darling, it was worth every penny. Made with Laurent Perrier Brut Champagne and topped with pomegranate pearls, it was a little burst of luxury in every sip. The effervescence of the champagne and the sweet pearls made it feel like I was drinking a royal potion, and let me tell you, it had me feeling like Cinderella herself (well, almost).
As for Jamie, our Saucy King, he went for a more low-key but equally sophisticated option—Stella Artois, poured into a chilled glass for $10.75. If there’s one thing the King loves, it’s a cold beer, and he certainly appreciated the VIP treatment his Stella received. It’s safe to say that the Enchanted Rose offers something for everyone, from bubbly concoctions to classic brews.
Now, let’s talk about the real star of the show—the food. Darling, you know I’m always after something flavorful, and Enchanted Rose definitely delivered.
We started with the Smoked Trout and Crab Dip for $16, and let me tell you, it was a heavenly experience. This dish is like a flavor paradise, a combination of salmon roe, chive oil, and sesame seed lavish that just works together so wonderfully. Every bite was like a little celebration in my mouth. I was so taken with this dish that I couldn’t help but do a little happy dance (much to Jamie’s embarrassment, but hey, when food is that good, you can’t help yourself!). The crab and trout were the perfect combination of smoky and rich, and the little crunchy bites of sesame added a nice texture to the whole experience.
Next, we tried the Croquettes for $19, which were filled with house-made fennel sausage and drizzled with tomato sauce and topped with Pecorino Romano. Now, let me tell you, I’m not usually a fan of fennel (call me picky, but it’s just not my thing). But these croquettes? Absolutely divine. The crispy outer layer and savory sausage filling were so irresistible, they could convert even the most fervent fennel foes (like me). These little nuggets of joy were a hit at our table, and we couldn’t stop dipping them into the saucy goodness that accompanied them. A perfect appetizer to kick things off!
Now, the Saucy King, being the savory snack lover that he is, decided to go for the Beef Jerky at $8. I’m going to be honest here—it’s beef jerky. It’s simple, it’s satisfying, but it’s not exactly something I can wax poetic about. That said, Jamie did enjoy it, but he also noted that it was definitely more of a snack than a showstopper. Still, for anyone who loves a good beef jerky, this one is a decent choice.
So, what’s the final Saucy Meal Queen verdict on Enchanted Rose at Disney’s Grand Floridian? 10/10, darlings, no question about it. From the stunning views to the exquisite food and magical atmosphere, this place delivers on every level. Whether you’re in the mood for a luxurious drink, a delicious bite, or just soaking in the Disney magic, Enchanted Rose is the perfect spot for a truly royal experience.
The service is impeccable, the decor is enchanting, and the food and drinks are nothing short of spectacular. It’s a must-visit for anyone looking for a memorable Disney dining experience that combines the best of luxury and magic.
I’m already planning my next visit, and I suggest you do the same. Enchanted Rose is a gem, and this Saucy Queen will be back to bask in its enchantment again and again.
Stay Saucy, The Saucy Queen 👑💋
