One of the toughest tables to book in Paris? It's in Disneyland

As soon as we booked the Eurostar from London to Paris, we began scouting the most important element of our trip: where to eat.

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.
