Hey guys–just had a chance to chow down at Chefs de France recently and wanted to post a few food pics for ya! (Haven’t had a good “food pic extravaganza” for a while!) Here’s a “photo review” with few words thrown in for good measure!
The restaurant is just beautiful. It looks best, I think, from the outside, after dark. I can remember several years ago stopping into a bistro in Paris with a friend after arriving in the city on a late train; it was winter and the bistro looked so warm and inviting. The lighting and walls of windows were identical to those at Chefs…it’s a great memory that the Epcot restaurant always brings back to me.
Another photo of the newest chef at Chefs de France–Monsieur Remy! I can’t get over how he moves his little hands!
If you’re a fan of Gruyere, mac and cheese, or bubbly yumminess in any way, you probably need to treat yourself to this dish. Yes, it gets to be too rich after a few bites, but hopefully you’ve trained hard prior to your vacation to endure massive amounts of cheese and heavy cream (isn’t that standard for everyone before a Disney trip?). We got it as part of the set menu for lunch.
Another great dish. Probably not as spectacularly bad for us as the mac and cheese, but lovely all the same! (This’ll give you a little protein for the rest of your day as well…)
Never been a great fan of profiteroles, but these were amazing! I couldn’t get enough. The chocolate was the best part, so lucky us that they drowned the pastry with it.
A decent creme brulee; in my book, Jiko’s pistachio version and Le Cellier’s maple version beat it out, however. Would love to hear from readers how it stacks up to other WDW creme brulees.

Nice article, and great photos! Chefs is one of my favorite WDW restaurants. The food is wonderful and sitting by the window offers such great people-watching! I am jealous you got to see Remy!

Glad you liked it–though I didn’t have your awesome escargot pic on there! You have some great photos from that place–my food choices were all “safe!”

The creme brulee is my favorite treat in Epcot! I can’t imagine a trip without it…but now I’m going to have to get over to Jiko…just to see if it measures up…I can’t imagine it could be better!!
:):)
(Though I have to say, I’m not sure if it’s really the creme brulee or just the fact I’m back at Chefs De France that makes it so wonderful!)

Very good point…everything in the World is better because it’s in the World. 😀
