So, I finally gave Chef de France in Epcot's France Pavilion a shot after walking past their glass windows for years. It's Disney, so yeah, it's on the pricier side, and it seems fancy, but let's remember it's a theme park, and in hot Florida, Mickey ears and flip flops are the norm--sweat stains and all, haha!
As for the meal, it was just okay. Nothing magical or worth ringing up your French friends about. The French onion soup was kinda bland and tasted like it had been sitting around for a bit. I tried escargot for the first time, and while it wasn't terrible, it wasn't mind-blowing either. It was chewy and served on a little cracker, kinda like a mix between mushroom and clam.
For my main, I went with the beef bourguignon. It usually comes with noodles, but I swapped them out for broccolini since I'd already loaded up on starch that day. While it had good flavor and a decent portion size, the meat was pretty dry, even with the gravy. Still, it definitely filled me up. Not pictured, but the steamed salmon was actually pretty tasty--I think it was the seafood sauce that did the trick.
We snagged a window seat, which offered a nice view of the park, and the cast members were fantastic, adding a little extra magic to the experience. Maybe I'd give it another shot in the future, but nothing to rope drop a reservation for. Bon appetite!
