Have you ever wondered what it would be like to dine at a cafe
in the middle of Paris, France? Epcot's Chefs de France restaurant will give
you a very good idea of what that's like. Although the tables are a bit close
together, the high ceilings and full length windows overlooking the World Showcase give this restaurant an airy and open feel.
When most of us think of French cuisine, visions of frog legs,
escargot and eclairs come to mind. Nope, not one frog leg on the menu! However, I did hear several patrons claim the Cassolette d'escargots de
Bourgogne au beurre persille were divine.
We started our meal with several appetizers:
Soupe a l'aignon gratinee (French onion soup)

A la flamme Alsacienne

"Alsace specialty flatbread"
Being from New Jersey, anything shaped like a pizza is well, pizza! Wrong... so very wrong. With a wonderful balance of sauteed onions, bacon and creme fraiche, this little beauty was delightful. Another appetizer Disney restaurants offer than can easily be shared. We absolutely loved the mixture of these flavors.
Plateau de fromage
This.Was.Outstanding! Four cheeses, with grapes, raisin and
walnut bread and another loaf of baked on premise french bread. Honestly,
between the Alsace flatbread and this gorgeous platter, is dinner (of course
paired with some outstanding French wines) Definitely enough to share.
After our fabulous appetizers, it was on to dinner.
Filet de saumon aux lentilles
Minus the bacon (which you can ask your server to omit) this is a very heart healthy meal. My husband absolutely loved this.
Flaky, nicely seasoned, a definite *will do again* meal.
Gratin de Macaroni
Ok, pasta, cream and Gruyere cheese. Really? What's not to like!
As fabulous as this dish is, its a tad heavy, but very good!
Filet de boueuf grille

This was my son's dish. Let me just say, he is a HUGE steak
lover, and proclaims this steak almost as good as Yachtsman's Steakhouse and a
tad above Le Cellier. WOW.. who knew? He substituted fries (when in France,
right?) for the potato gratin and loved this.
After our very filling meal, it was on to desert.
Creme Brulee

Fresh Strawberry and cream cake with raspberry sauce and
strawberry sorbet.
After a wonderfully satisfying meal, I needed something light.
This was perfect... not heavy at all and just enough.
Puff choux with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce

Chefs de France also offers a vast selection of French wines.
Our meal was just outstanding, and a definite *must visit again* restaurant,
Bon Appetit Moi Amore, you will NOT be disappointed!
