Mushroom Risotto Recipe Palo Restaurant, Disney Cruises

4758

Palo can be found on all Disney cruise ships (Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy, Disney Wonder & Disney Magic.) Palo is named after the long poles used to push and pull gondolas, Venetian masks adorn the walls, a backlit bar sits at the center and an open kitchen adds to the magic. Elegant glass, inlaid wood paneling and sweeping panoramic floor-to-ceiling ocean views make this the perfect setting – it is an adult only restaurant. There is a charge of $20 pp for brunch and dinner and $10 pp for high tea.
