French onion soup and sorb were epically good! Overall, we felt the escargot was good, but having had it in France it’s not quite to that level. We also tried the mac & cheese because the French really do know their cheeses. The the cheese and grayer melted on top made a fantastic flavor. However, the macaroni and cheese underneath was just average. Would highly recommend the sorbet dessert it was fabulous. Mango and raspberry and strawberry with very intense delicious flavors. Normally service in France is particularly slow, but the French team that is waiting on the tables at this restaurant were remarkably speedy. We arrived at the restaurant two minutes before our 8:10 PM reservation . They told us to wait and they would come and get us when our reservation was ready. It only took about two minutes and we were ushered into the beautiful area close to the windows so you can see some of the fireworks if you like. Inside it does feel a lot like you are in Paris so well done Disney!

Food was good just not great. The portions are definitely better than you expect from a “French” restaurant. The bread they brought me was decent and so was the butter just nothing memorable. The French onion soup was quite good and very filling. The main dish was shrimp and scallops and it was okay, mine came cool with the scallops cold on the inside. I remember it being a few steps above what it is now.

Chefs de France: very fun place to eat at EPCOT, especially if you can get a seat by the window near the main path or the France walkway. Good wine, good French onion soup, good crème brûlée, and good main courses as well. Typically a prixe fix menu; it’s not perfectly authentic, but it’s a treat and a great atmosphere. Love it here. :)

Our experience was made extra special thanks to Valery. He helped me navigate the menu and make personalized suggestions based on my likes. He was super personable and very efficient. We used our dining plan with no issues. I tried the escargot as an appetizer, and the boeuf bourguigon as my main with mashed potatoes! The crème brûlée was amazing and my daughter enjoyed the salmon with chocolate mousse for dessert. Overall amazing experience we sat nearest the window and we able to view the world showcase

Chefs De France is a French restaurant with minor theming based in the France Pavilion of Disney's EPCOT park. The staff are friendly, brought food out quickly, and ensured we knew what we were ordering as well as deal with any allergies our party had. The food was pretty good, I don't really eat French cuisine but this stood out as being of decent quality. The price was a bit high, but the portions and quality made up for it. The French Onion soup was very good and tasted well. We tried the escargot, which came with bread on top and was chewy but tasted good. The steaks were cooked to perfection and tasted alright, and the Creme Brulee was decent and not too sweet but cooked well. The cream puff was shaped like a swan which was nice, but didn't really stand out.

An Authentic Taste of France in the Heart of EPCOT Dining at Chefs de France was truly a standout experience. From the moment we stepped inside, we felt transported, not just to the France Pavilion, but to an actual Parisian bistro. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and full of charming details that make it feel genuinely French rather than a theme park imitation. Every part of our meal, from start to finish, was exceptional. The flavors were rich and authentic, with beautifully presented dishes that exceeded our expectations. It’s clear the kitchen puts real care into the food, and it shows. A huge shoutout to our server, Kylian, who elevated the experience even further. He was prompt, friendly, and genuinely helpful, offering honest recommendations and thoughtful insight into the menu. His suggestions ended up being some of our favorite parts of the meal, and we really appreciated his attentiveness. We would absolutely recommend Chefs de France to anyone visiting EPCOT. Whether you’re looking for a romantic dinner, a family meal, or just want to experience a little slice of Paris, this spot is a must visit.

This was our favorite restaurant during our current visit to Epcot. The wait staff was excellent and the French onion soup and bread was Amazing! We loved our main course meal which was a shrimp dish. We will most definitely be returning back!

The place is pleasant but not like paris vibes. The menu is not very varied, and the dishes we ordered weren’t the best. The service was very good, they brought the food in less than 5 minutes. The price is too high i think.

The service was prompt and friendly. I like that Epcot employs actual people from the specific countries. It makes for a great ambiance. I loved that they serve warm baguettes with butter before your meal comes out. I ordered the "Fruits de le mer ". It is whole shrimp and scallops in an absolute delectable lobster sauce. The shrimp and scallops were cooked to perfection. The sauce was so flavorful. Others ordered the salmon and were very pleased. That is saying a lot considering they are from Seattle and salmon is a staple there.

Chefs de France, located in Epcot's France Pavilion, offers a delightful dining experience that beautifully captures the essence of French cuisine. The restaurant is known for its charming atmosphere, with a classic French bistro decor that includes white tablecloths, elegant lighting, and a view of the bustling Epcot promenade. The menu features a range of traditional French dishes, from rich coq au vin and duck confit to lighter options like ratatouille and a selection of fresh seafood. The quality of the ingredients shines through in each dish, and the flavors are both authentic and comforting. Many diners rave about the French onion soup, which is a perfect start to the meal, and the dessert options like crème brûlée and tarte tatin are always a hit. Service at Chefs de France is attentive and knowledgeable, with staff who are eager to share their recommendations and wine pairings. The ambiance is lively but not overwhelming, making it a great spot for family meals or romantic dinners alike. One aspect that stands out is the opportunity to meet the famous chef, Remy, from Disney's "Ratatouille," who occasionally visits tables, creating a memorable experience for guests, especially children. Overall, Chefs de France stands out as a must-visit dining destination within Epcot, perfect for those looking to indulge in the flavors of France while enjoying the vibrant atmosphere of the park. Reservations are recommended, as it can get busy, particularly during peak seasons.

Oh my goodness! How I wish Chefs de France was in my neighborhood! I'd stop by every other day to stuff myself with snails and delicious wine. Seriously, it's the perfect place to unwind after a long day of heat and humidity and being in a sea of people. The food is amazing--the best escargot I had while in Disney and believe me I tried as many different ones as I could while I was in town, and the Fruits de la mer is appropriately named! That sauce is divine. Really succulent and well strained. Our server Opale was warm and welcoming and very helpful! We also celebrated my birthday here and it was so special. The chocolate cake is decadent without leaving you feeling weighed down. I cannot wait to come visit Epcot again just to come to Chefs de France!

A wonderful place! We have dinner here whenever we visit Epcot. Our server had been in the US for five months and took exceptional care of us. He even let me practice my French with him and humored me that I was a fluent speaker. At one time, but not so much today. I had the Fruits de la Mer and my son the bouef bourginon. He described his entree as a bottomless pot of the most tender, tasty beef he had had in a long time. My entree was as good as his if not better. The lobster sauce was wonderful !! We both had sauce left and our server, on his own, brought us a fresh loaf of bread. He told us not to leave the sauce and to feel free to dip it up with the bread, just as one would do in France! Moderate noise and nicely appointed. We had a table by the window which made it fun to watch the passersby.

As it is in Disney, the ambiance was obviously immaculate. The kind of restaurant you would find in a fairytale book about France. Our waitress was nice but did not seem kind. The food was good - portions are huge, super rich and buttery. I was full after maybe 5 bites.

When it comes to short rib beef and mashed potatoes l, I am distrustful of just any beef and potatoes. Chefs de France has gained my trust back. Their bourgeoise beef with mashed potatoes, pearl onions, carrots, and mushroom, was everything after a long day of walking. Not too salty and not too chewy - makes for a remarkable dish. We celebrated a birthday here and they sang as a birthday song in French and offered us a French dessert. I recommended making reservations here as we did. Overall great food dishes and I can't forget to mention the French onion soup. Probably one of the best I've had, as it had the right combination of cheese, onions, and bread!

We sat by the window for a late lunch.The ambience is bright and lovely. Our server was Brice.He provided great service & was very knowledgeable of the menu. We had bread service with salted butter (delicious but the crust did not snap when broken ) French onion soup, beef in Cabernet, steak frites, and the gateau opera. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The beef had plenty of vegetables as well, and the steak frites was cooked perfectly. So for the ambience, service and food, we highly recommend Chefs de France at Epcot.

Hippotymus was the best server ever! He was funny, lax, and helpful! Loved his energy while we were eating here! Sit by the window because it's so pleasant while it's sunny to enjoy the people and boats passing by and the view of the lake! Had escargot for the very first time and was not disappointed!! This was a lovely place to eat!

3.5/5, +.5 for service Decided on Chefs de France as my group was craving European cuisine and we haven't had French food in a while. I know some conversational French, so I decided to pull some French words to try and get better service (usually French restaurants appreciate you more if you speak their language). Sure enough it worked haha, we were well attended to the entire time here. I started with a French Onion Soup, followed by a Beef Bourguignon. The soup was quite good, good size and a decent amount of gruyere cheese and onions as well. The Beef Bourguignon was highly recommended by my server, and I've been wanting to try one from an actual French restaurant. It was a good introduction to it, but I can tell that it could be taken to the next level; the linguine didn't seem to mesh well with the beef stew. For Disney quality though I'd say this was more than satisfactory. I had the three layered chocolate mousse cake for dessert, and oh my it was really good. They didn't skimp out on the chocolate layers and it was an extremely filling way to end my meal. Definitely recommend a reservation here, this place was quite popular the entire time I was here.

The steak was good however a little seasoning, a little overcooked as I get medium and small portions sizes so I was still hungry after. Service was okay he came by twice the whole meal but it is certainly one of the cuter restaurants in Epcot as the lighting is fantastic however a little loud if you're looking for peace and quite.

We did the arts festival concert series package which was $70pp. Our daughter who is 2 years old was charged the same price even though she ate like a bird. They should have communicated the price for her when we ordered but too late now. Spent $200+ for a lunch but the food was tasty. To start I had the escargot to share, then my main was the beef stew, my husband had the pork shank and daughter had the salmon which was my favorite. Desserts included the trio of sorbet which I highly recommend, the creme brûlée and citrus cake. They offer a prie fixe which is worth it if you're hungry and it includes a drink. I dont recommend doing the concert series package because even though I was guaranteed a seat at the concert, I was put on the very corner of the 2nd row where I couldn't see a thing.

Kind of crazy that I've eaten here countless times over the decades and never reviewed this place. Well better late than never. While it's not a opulent as the more luxurious restaurant over at the French pavilion in Epcot, it's hard to not want to at least try this place just for the brasserie experience after a long day/night of walking. As expected the offerings were pretty solid. In the interest of not thinking too much I opted for the pre fixe menu with the tartare (lovely) and Beef Bourguignon entree (excellent) along with a chocolate cake dessert. I also ordered an additional French onion soup (how could you not?) on the side. That was definitely my favorite part of the meal, thanks to the indulgent cheese and flavorful but not-too-salty onion broth. The tartare was fine but the beef was definitely excellent thanks to the rich sauce, tender meat and very filling scalloped potatoes that made this a very heavy but tasty option. The service here was friendly and very attentive. I really love the ambiance and the overall vibe of this place. It's hard to choose with so many awesome dining options at Epcot, but this one is truly worth your time if you're in the mood for some French food.

Fine dining at its best my favorite restaurant in epcot If you really wanna enjoy great food, authentic French cuisine at its best. Come here. You will enjoy it and have a beautiful evening with your loved ones It's a great experience to always try something new and give your pallet. Something new to taste. The pastries are exquisite.

Walked up with a party of six and since we had come at an odd hour in the middle of the day, they were able to seat us. The warm bread with butter that they bring to the table is just fantastic. Perfect for this cold day. I usually get the beef bourguignon which I love but this time I wanted to try something new and I got the pork. I am so glad I did. It was a really nice change of pace. Next time I will try the chicken. It looked good too.

Great, very quick service. Food was piping hot and very good for park food. Cute ambiance. Definitely recommend a reservation. If looking for a sit down dinner in the park, this was perfect.

Love its food and its French style dining. First they don't rush you order or check which really gives you time to look through the menu and decide what to eat. Second the food is definitely worthy. 9 dollar chef wine is good and boeuf bourguignon is tasty with lots of meat (suprise!). Third the service is welcoming and nice. The baguette is on the house!

We enjoyed Chefs de France more than I thought! Service was excellent and the waiter was kind and helpful. You really feel like you're in France here! They were kind enough to sit us 1 hour before our reservation. The vegan ratatouille was pretty good. My husband enjoyed his steak frites as well. We would return :)

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!

i love how chefs de france truly teleports you to a french bistro, the ambiance is perfection. food? wished my steak wasn't served burnt even though i ordered medium well. my steak was basically beef jerky. fries with my steak frites could've been a little more premium instead of the usual park fries. and my watercress(?) lettuce had a mosquito in it. i didn't notice it until the end of my meal and plus i was already full, i didn't really need the entrée to be remade. dessert though, it was the star of the show. the cake we had was stellar and i would come just for desserts! and the ambiance, of course. but lessons learned, won't be doing steak frites again.

The Shirley temple was standard so no complaints. The Ratatouille was unexpected. I thought it would resemble the one from the movie more considering where we were but it's ok. The only really problem was that it overwhelmingly tasted of only tomato. The service was great. The server checked on us enough and we even had a fun conversation. The space was really cute and we got a table next to the windows so we got to see fireworks at the same time.

If you plan on coming here, make reservations ASAP because it gets booked. Everyone gets a warm, fresh baguette with butter. It was delicious. For appetizers, we got the salmon tartare and French onion soup. Both were so delicious. I was very impressed with the onion soup. The beef linguine wasn't good. The linguine had too much butter, it was overwhelming. The beef was dry. I loved the ratatouille. To add shrimp it was a $14 add on! They only add 3. Service was great. We would come back for definitely won't order the beef linguine again.

This restaurant is very popular so make sure you make a reservation. This place was very good. Everyone at the table was happy with their food. In my case I went for a cheesy meal. Started with the French Onion Soup. It was a big bowl, so I shared it with my wife. I then got the gratin de macaroni. Also, a big portion. I ate most of it, but saved the rest for my son who was asleep. He ate it for dinner at the apartment. As I said lots of cheese, but you can't go wrong with Gruyère. So good. Only complaint was that the kitchen was slow. Appetizers came out quickly but the main course took forever. I mean it was a full house, so I guess that is to be expected. Just be prepared for that. Our server was excellent. I think his name was Adil, but I can't remember. He was from Toulouse. I remember that because when my parents told him they visited Toulouse last year he became very excited at stopped to have a long conversation with my parents about what they saw. They even showed him pictures. He was very happy they visited his home town, which doesn't get many tourists. All in all, a great experience at Epcot.

Authentic French cuisine we ever had! We made a reservation for lunch that day, started with French onion soup and Escargot ! Our 3 main courses were Ratatouille , Boeuf Bourguignon with linguine and Filet de salmon. Boeuf Bourguignon was my favorite, juicy and tender. We have added chicken to our Ratatouille and it was tasty!

Brad S.

Yelp
The service is kind and welcoming, and the French vibes are top notch. The steak is good but was undercooked for how I wanted. Most people over hype it, but the desserts are one of the best.

When eating at Epcot there are a lot of options, granted not a lot of places to sit and eat, but lots of good food and it changes frequently. To stand out as a sit down restaurant, things have to be exceptional, here they aren't. When we sat down our waiter asked us if we wanted water, which on the one hand is good because every sit down restaurant should offer water, on the other hand, you shouldn't ask, just send water with every table. That is the rule of a good restaurant. Plus here it was more of a delay technique to not take our order as we waited for a long time for our waiter to come back for the order. I ordered the escargot which I always order if it's on the menu and my wife had a goat cheese salad which were not the worst I've tasted, but also not the best. We later had a steak and the macaroni for main dishes, which followed the same theme. Finally I got the creme brulee, (another menu item I always try), but this one was the worst creme brulee I've had and I didn't finish it.. and my wife who knows me, knows i always finish my dessert. Not really a great experience especially since Epcot has so many good things to try.

The food here last night was absolute trash, unbelievable. We've had some good meals here in the distant past last time. We were here about six months ago. It was OK but last night I couldn't believe how bad it was. I got the beef entrée a classic French dish literally it was three chunks of beef some type of crappy vegetable broth with some linguine tossed in it. It was terrible! Almost 50 bucks with tax and tip good God had better meals at Denny's My wife and son had the strip loin. Literally, the steak was shoe leather like my kid could even finish it because it was filled with cartilage-veins and just disgusting. I don't even know what grade that steak was, i've had better steak at the Waffle House for breakfast. $70 with tax and tip for a steak with french fries what a giant rip off. The bread and butter were pretty good. That's about the only thing I could say that's positive besides the service. Our server was awesome very attentive. They did a great job. Never a problem with that. We will never and I mean never go back to this restaurant at Epcot again. They should be ashamed of themselves for serving that kind of trash food for absolutely top dollar prices typical Disney cash crab BS.

Gladly impressed with this dinner experience during the food and wine fest at Epcot. After spending the day trying some bites and drinks offered around the world showcase We made dinner reservations at the iconic ches de France and went for the most popular dish: Beef Short Ribs and fettuccini a great choice, delicious and size portion good enough to satisfy our appetite. Our classic. Dessert Crème brûlée never disappointed Service was attentive and friendly I also asked for a glass of red house wine This is a place to try while in Epcot to enjoy the Parisian vibe is next to the popular attraction. Ratatouille (also recommended)

Yelp
Honestly the best French onion soup I've had in a longggg time. Amazing service too! The ambience feels like you're in New York or Paris but you're really in Epcot. The rest of the food was a 3 out of 5 but the star was the French onion soup. The goat cheese salad needs more goat cheese instead of a little Fried piece. The escargot was just OK needs more garlic and olive oil to be able to dip bread in it. And the steak frites needs some other kind of sauce. All in all great option for Epcot dinner

I think EPCOT and Disney World in general are a wonderful way to try food from all over the world without a passport. Is the food exactly as it would be in France or Japan, no, and you cannot compare for exactness like that. The food is made with the same recipes but the US version of the ingredients. I think it is similar and more over, similar enough to know if you should venture to another country to try the real thing. Now, all that said, Chefs de France is darling and the interior and exterior are done well enough to make you feel like you are transported abroad. Now, the folks dining in their vacay garb and Mickey ears may impact your feel but they have done a good job otherwise. The menu has some classic French staples and the portions are much more American ( you know, big like the US is used to). I had the Boeuf Bourguignon, linguine and my partner had the Entrecote grille, beurre maître d hotel a la fourme, pomme roties and for dessert we shared Cygne profiterole, glace a la vanille, sauce chocolat. They were all very tasty. The beef bourguignon reminded me of my grandmothers pot roast and I mean that is a really good way. It was comforting, tasty and filling. The strip loin from my partner was good from the small bite I had and they said it was delicious. Now, one of my favorite parts of the dining experience is the Demi baguette and friend butter sprinkled with salt. I could just eat that with some jous from the bourguinon and be a happy lady. The dessert swan was ok. As my partner is a former pastry chef I have had better but I don't tend to hold that against most places. Overall a lovely experience.

Excellent. The food was delicious and our waiter was super friendly. The French Onion Soup was in my top 3 I've ever had. The sautéed shrimps and scallops were also very tasty. I would definitely eat here again next time I'm in Epcot. My only complaint is that the main course was slow to arrive. The appetizers came out quickly at least.

One of the things I love about traveling by myself is that i can choose to eat at two French restaurants in one day without having to explain to anyone. Earlier, I ate at Be My Guest in Magic Kingdom, but, as part of the Wine and Dine half-marathon registration fee, I got a ticket to Epcot for the after-the-run after party. And I took advantage of the "free" pass into Epcot as early as I could. I was still pretty full from lunch, but I wanted to try this restaurant during the Wine and Dine festivities. It is located in the France section of Epcot and relatively easy to find as the Eiffel Tower is steps away from the restaurant. I was running late due to transportation issues (I was trying to make my way from Disney Springs to Epcot) and it took much longer than anticipated. While being 30 minutes late to the reservation, they still took me in and sat me immediately (it probably helped that it was just me). The waitress had a French accent and was so kind to explain the menu including the prix fixe menu. Since I wasn't too hungry, I only ordered an entree, although I plan on coming back to try the prix fixe. I ordered the beef bourguignon, which came with linguine pasta. It was well seasoned, with just enough sauce from the beef to coat the pasta. The dish itself was a huge portion size. Overall, I loved the restaurant and plan to be back during my next trip to Disney World.

Located in Disney EPCOT's French Pavilion, Les Chefs de France is a mainstream sitdown restaurant. Don't expect exquisite French dining, but generic standards. I've definitely had better French onion soup, the broth seemed water down, but the gruyere cheese was generous. The beef Bourguignon was a hefty portion of meat and was very tender. The linguine made it very filling. Enough for two people to share. very good baguette and butter! I do love how the servers are all from France & you can speak French with them. Nice authentic touch. Comfortable seating with pretty design. Definitely make a reservation around lunch & dinner time.

We have been coming here for years as we are DVC and find it fairly easy to get a table for 2 with no reservation and still have a good meal with a short wait. Apparently they have a new chef and the food has dramatically improved. We have eaten up stairs at Monsieur Pauls several times and the food is phenomenal but expensive. I have to say the food here is comparable and that is a compliment. Jo was our server and he was knowledgeable and very helpful. Truly enjoyed the experience and the wonderful food.

Rocco D.

Yelp
Decided to try this restaurant again after an unpleasant experience a few years back and was happy we did. The person at the podium along with the maître d' were much more friendlier than in the past, the manager was also friendly. The service was also good, fast and courteous. We ordered the braise beef with pasta, it was a good sized portion and tasted delicious, could used more sauce or flavor for the pasta. The crème brûlée was also very good. The dining room is nice with comfortable seating but the lighting is a little off bc some seats are very bright while others lack lighting . I suggest looking at the menu to make sure there is something you like as it is a little limited. So many places to try while at Epcot but someday we will be back.

Terrible they do not offer outside seating. This is allegedly France for heavens sake. Britain has outdoor seating so why not France? The capital of Al fresco dining. We chose not to eat at France today because of this. See the other review for food review.

This is a great spot to stop for lunch if you've had a long day around the parks. We didn't have a reservation and they sat us within 5 to 10 minutes. All the servers are wonderful. Adelia was our server. She had such a cheery disposition, and was so friendly. She was quick with getting all our orders out and refilling drinks. Fantastic job. The French onion soup and escargot are fantastic. As you could probably tell from there being nothing left in the photo haha. We ended up splitting a half a chicken entrée. I will say the chicken dish didn't taste as fresh as I was hoping it would. It almost tasted like a supermarket rotisserie chicken. The side were not great. The pommes Lyonnaise tasted like they took the type of mashed potatoes you used to get served at a school lunch. They just had that flavor. They're rolled into balls and I'm assuming deep-fried or baked as they come in a breaded ball. I feel like with a better mashed potato recipe they could be wonderful. And green beans are green beans. The cheaper vegetable to buy. So you'll see them on many Disney dishes instead of broccoli or asparagus. The best part of the lunch is always the baguette that comes to the table. It comes warm and is absolutely delicious. I will say the biggest disappointment if I had to pick any is the pricing. Obviously, we're in Disney World, so everything is going to be expensive. However, I've been coming here since I was a child, and have seen the price spiking that's been going on with a lot of these restaurants. This one in particular is disheartening because it used to be a great lunch spot where you can get something affordable and relax with your family. Now they just get an appetizer is going to cost you $20 which never used to be the case. Just bear that in mind that if you're going to spend that kind of money, there are better restaurants to go to in Epcot. But if everything's booked, this place will always have availability typically. All in all, we still enjoyed it, and will certainly come back for lunch again at some point

Came here for dinner while we were at epcot and they did not disappoint. Walking in it felt like we were transported to a small place in France. Our waitress was new but very iinformative and kind. She gave us some fun facts about how to eat thw baguettes they offer. We ordered the steak frites, Jarret de porc braise au miel, cygne profiterole, gateau au agrumes, and gateau opera. The steak was cooked to medium rare and was very tender and juicy. The pork shank was so soft and fell apart so easily. It was so flavorful in the sauce that was provided. The desserts were the main attraction here. The cream puff swan was too pretty to eat but it came with a rich chocolate that wasn't super sweet which was balanced put with the cream from the swam. While the citrus cake was a huge flavor plate jump. It definitely was tart and sweet but going from chocolate to citrus was not a smart idea. Even so it was still very delicious. The gateau opera however complemented the swam cream puff since it was a coffee sponge cake. It had a hint of espresso which was perfect balanced for the cake.

Got a dinner reservation here the day of. The staff here is extremely friendly and kind. Our server checked up on us regularly by making sure the food was to our liking, offering extra bread, or refilling our water. I truly appreciated all the attention she gave us!! As for the food, they offer baguette and butter to start. The baguette was nice and warm when we first got it - I loved it. I got the ratatouille sur quinoa for my entree. I had never tried it before so I was a little hesitant, but it was very tasty and I would def get it again! To end the meal, we got crème brûlée which was delicious as expected. I was very full and content by the end of this meal. We also had a window table, so we were able to get a nice view of the fireworks at the end of the day :)

I'll start by saying that the food was pretty good. I had the salmon appetizer, the boeuf bourguignon, and the creme brulee, and my partner had the french onion soup and the chicken. All very tasty. Unfortunately, our experience was dampened somewhat by the staff who seemed like they couldn't get us out of there quickly enough. They were pleasant, but we felt very rushed. Our entrees arrived before we'd finished our appetizers, and they brought the check with the desserts without being asked to do so. Our three course dining experience was over in under 50 minutes. I get they're probably busy and didn't want people to linger, but allowing us time to actually finish our food before bringing more and not making us feel like they just wanted us gone would have been great.

Went here to get a quick bite before the firework show. The server was incredibly understanding about our rush to quickly eat, pay, and sprint out! At first he was confused but he totally understood and even asked us if we were going to the firework show. He get our order quickly in and even thought to get our dessert in a to go box! As for the food, I essentially got a Braised beef pasta dish and my girlfriend got a steak. The food was good and honestly what you'd expect out of this restaurant. Really good food and not priced that bad even for Disney. The place is pretty fancy looking too! Good mood lighting and nice decor.

We were extremely disappointed with the customer service on January 19, 2025. We ordered the escargot appetizer and our waiter never put it in. So we were quite surprised when our entrees began arriving. Mistakes happen, but what was more disappointing than the mistake was how it was handled afterwards. They merely offered to bring it out then, with, our entrees. When I replied that the point was to have it as an appetizer before the meal, all they said was "well your entrees are ready now." Most decent restaurants would've offered to bring it to us free of charge at that point, as a way of apologizing for the error. Or perhaps a drink or a dessert. Something. Unfortunately the restaurant offered us nothing other than an apology.

We had lunch today, four adults and two children. The restaurant has very authentic French bistro ambience and excellent service. The food was very good,but even by Disney standards, was overpriced, with $400 for a lunch, no wine, and two of the party being children. I can't say we're unhappy, since it's one of the best options at Epcot. However, we'll not return because we're 75 and our grandchildren are too old to return during our lifetime.

Came here with my family for Friday night dinner while at Epcot. Best one line description of this place would be the French version of The Olive Garden. It looks fairly glitzy from the outside, but once you walk inside you see paper disposable menus and other signs of a casual family restaurant. This isn't really a knock against the restaurant since everybody is coming from dinner from the park in shorts and t-shirts anyway. The place was extremely busy at 830 pm. We were seated promptly but our waiter needed a moment before he could actually take our orders. The service from that point out was above average, and Pablo our waiter did a great job explaining each of the dishes and the recommended pairings. The food itself was incredibly lackluster. My wife got the Mac and cheese and I had the pre fixe with the braised beef. The actual beef was fine but everything else was dry and not especially flavorful. Crème brûlée was acceptable. There are many other restaurants in Epcot that are superior. Again, this is probably at the culinary level of Olive Garden except you're paying $35 for your very mediocre entree.

We ordered the prix fixe menu. Everything was delicious. We ordered the escargot and baked cheese salad. Main entree was beef bourguignon and salmon. Desert was the cake and puff pastry. It being Disney a bit rushed so no 5, but all in all a great meal. It definitely was better than the food kiosk this year.

The food was great and service was quite quick as well! It was nice seeing that they were primarily staffed by people from France which helped it feel as though we were actually in the country itself. While it may be very niche if an issue, I would have liked to see something used to block the sun. The time we visited and area we sat in, we felt as though we were baking in the sun for most of our time in the restaurant. Side note, this seemed to be a very popular place for people to propose, I believe we heard cheers and applause about every 15 minutes we were there for newly engaged couples.

very kind hostess. the food itself was ok and portions were unpredictable. ratatouille and shrimp/scallops were both super small but the pork was big. the ratatouille was giving tomato soup. the other dishes were good. it was overall not a bad experience but felt confusing. you pay an upscale price tag to be surrounded by little kids being loud or on their ipads

Excellent food and the service was even better... at first I was annoyed that I couldn't order from the full menu on the Disney meal plan, but after I got my food, I don't think I could have liked it any more...

Always wanted to eat here and was able to make a lunch reservation. We got seated right at the corner seat where we can do some good people watching. Started off with some delicious and buttery escargot and French onion soup. For our main entrees we ordered the beef linguine and pork shank. The pork shank with gravy was slightly salty but decently sized. Our server Romain was funny, entertaining, witty, and provided great service!
