Dinner at Triton's Aboard the Disney Wonder
Triton’s
is one of the first things you see when you board the Disney Wonder for the
first time. As you enter the main lobby it is to your left. In front of the
main entrance to the restaurant is a statue of Ariel – after all, the
restaurant is named after her father.
Triton’s
is one of the three main dining restaurants on the ship and it is the most
upscale of the three. The back wall features a mural of King Triton, Ariel,
Flounder and their kingdom. The ceiling also showcases light up sections that
resemble shells, and lamps around the room feature the loveable Sebastian the
crab.
The
cuisine here has a French influence, but even if you’re not adventurous there
will be something on the menu for you!
We
dined at Triton’s four times over the course of our last two sailings. One of
those times featured the Pirate Night menu and the other was the last night of
the first sailing which also features a different menu – each of these two times
will have their own post. We were supposed to dine here on the last evening of
our second sailing but missed dinner due to rough seas and unpleasant
seasickness.
So,
what did we eat during our evenings at Triton’s? Read on to find out.
The
first menu in Triton’s is the one that we enjoyed twice and it includes Warm French Country Bread with Olive Spread.
Crusty on the outside, soft on the inside French bread served warm with an
olive spread. If you like olive you’ll like the spread, but if not you may want
to just stick with the butter provided.
We
also enjoyed two appetizers – the Breaded
and Deep Fried Brie and the French
Onion Soup.
The
breaded and fried brie was warm crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside
breaded creamy brie cheese swerved with an orange and cranberry chutney that
pairs nicely with the cheese and helps to cut through the richness of the dish.
If
you like French onion soup then you’ll love this one. A piping hot bowl of
rich, hearty soup full of onions and of course topped with the best part, that
“crouton” that soaks in the flavor of the soup, and Gruyere cheese.
We
each enjoyed one entrée.
Christian
enjoyed the Kid’s Cheese Pizza.
Crusty, cheesy kid’s size slices of pizza sure to satisfy any pizza loving kid.
On this particular evening his pizza came with slightly crispy on the outside
and soft on the inside French fries and steamed broccoli.
We
also ordered one of our favorites from Triton’s, the Crispy Roasted Duck Breast. If you’ve never had duck before, it has
its own distinct flavor. The roasted duck breast and leg that come with this
dish were moist and tender, and the skin was crispy, just like it should be. It
is served with tender braised cabbage, slightly sweet parsnip and honey mash
topped with crispy slices of parsnip, and a duck and red wine jus that ties the
whole dish together.
The
last entrée on this evening was the Chateaubriand-Roasted
Filet Steak. Two large tender and moist slices of roasted filet are served
with buttery mashed new potatoes, buttery green beans that were tender, but
still had a nice bite to them and a red wine jus. A Béarnaise sauce is also
brought out and served table side for those wishing to have it be part of their
dish.
Lastly
that evening we each ordered one dessert.
If
you like Crème Brulee you’ll really enjoy the Tahitian Vanilla Crème Brulee. Creamy, vanilla custard topped with
a crunchy bruleed sugar crust topped with a sweet strawberry slice and a
crunchy almond biscotti. Yum.
We
also enjoyed the Dou Chocolate Slice.
This is one of the no sugar added options, but just because a dessert is listed
in this section don’t let that scare you. This dessert is layers of chocolatey
brownie crust and truffle mousse dusted with rich cocoa powder and dark
chocolate. A naturally sweet berry crème rounds out the dish and pairs
perfectly with the chocolate.
Christian
opted for a Mickey Ice Cream Bar.
Creamy vanilla ice cream coated with chocolate and shaped like Mickey Mouse.
This is a favorite for kids and kids at heart.
Our
first meal here on our second sailing included the same menu, but we all opted
for different choices than the time before.
The
Farmhouse Salad was one of the two
appetizers that we enjoyed that evening. Tender baby spinach is served with asparagus,
cherry tomatoes, slices of fingerling potatoes, an olive vinaigrette that
luckily wasn’t overly olive-y and a creamy and cheesy goat cheese crostini.
This was really a satisfying and refreshing salad.
We
also enjoyed the Escargot. Tender
snails marinated in herbs and oil served with finely chopped mushrooms, garlic
butter and a breadstick for dipping in the leftover garlic butter. We suggest giving
this dish a chance even if you don’t think that you’ll like it because it’s
snails. It is delicious.
We
each also enjoyed one entrée.
The
Grilled Grain-Fed Sirloin Steak
featured a generous portion of tender and well-seasoned sirloin steak served
with steamed vegetables that included broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and green
beans. The veggies were tender, but still had a nice bite to them. Buttery
mashed potatoes rounded out the plate.
The
Grilled Marinated Tofu, Roasted Zucchini,
Eggplant, and Red Peppers was delicious. It was like eating ratatouille
with tofu in it. Two well-seasoned and seared pieces of tofu served with tender
roasted eggplant, zucchini and sweet red peppers, as well as a zesty Israeli
cous cous.
Christian
opted to the Crispy Roasted Duck Breast
that we talked about earlier in the post. He really enjoyed it.
Christian
left for the kid’s club as soon as his food was gone, so we ended the meal with
one dessert on this evening. The Grand
Marnier Soufflé is a soft, fluffy and delicious soufflé served warm with a
Grand Marnier Crème Anglaise. Yum.
We’ve
enjoyed everything that we’ve eaten at Triton’s on all four of our sailings on
the Disney Wonder – we highly recommended it.
