Dinner Review: Les Chefs de France
Updated: Aug 19, 2020
I had the opportunity to eat a three course meal with my mother-in-law at Les Chefs de France this past March, and it was easily one of the best meals I've had in Disney World thus far. Here's my review of this restaurant, including ambiance, service, food, and price point.
Service
At this point, I've eaten at plenty of sit-down restaurants in Disney World to compare the service from one restaurant to another. The service at Chefs de France was incredible. Our water glasses were never empty, our waiter asked us if we were ready for our next course (I've honestly never been asked this before..anyone else?), and our waiter was also very polite and attentive to our table. The service here is the best I've experienced in all of Disney World; and in my opinion, this should be the standard across all restaurants in the Disney parks.
Price Point
We got the Prix Fixe meal, which included an Appetizer, Entree, and Dessert, and it was $39.99 per person. If you aren't a huge three-course meal person and you just want to order an entree, you're looking at about $20-$35 per person. If you're on a Disney dining plan, this restaurant is worth 1 Table Service Credit.

Atmosphere
Located in France at Epcot, Chefs de France is a beautiful, yet simply-decorated restaurant. It has floor to ceiling windows that bring in natural light and allow you to enjoy the sights of the World Showcase. You can dress in a cocktail dress or you can wear your Mickey Ears to dine here, as there is no dress-code.
Food
For my three courses at Chefs de France, I ordered: French Onion Soup, Beef Bourguignon, and the Tarte aux Pommes. The soup was the best French Onion I've ever had in my life, and the beef was tender and flavorful. I was so full by the time dessert came, but it was super tasty! The apple tart came with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and homemade caramel sauce. My mouth is watering as I type this. This has been one of my absolute favorite meals that I've ever eaten in Disney World. It's on the same caliber as Cinderella's Royal Table!
In Summary
I have eaten at many Table Service restaurants around the Walt Disney World Resort, and I've never experienced better service than what we received at Chefs de France. In addition to the amazing service, it was easy to get a dinner reservation, and the food did not disappoint. If you can splurge, I would get the Prix Fixe meal! It's a great deal, and I liked being able to try two different salty items off of the menu. I cannot wait to eat here in the future!
The idea of enjoying the small details of cafe culture gives me a reason to slow down and consider the details. The pace and atmosphere of a place can matter as much as what is in the cup. It is the kind of question I would keep in mind when thinking about Archibalds Coffee and cafe culture and coffee. I can imagine different responses depending on the situation, which makes the question more interesting. Which small details make you want to sit for a little longer?
I find finding the character of a local meeting place easier to approach when there is a familiar situation to start from. An ordinary conversation can become part of the reason people remember a place. That practical perspective helps me frame local pub culture as a theme for Abbeyinnderby. I would be interested in an example that shows how the idea works in an ordinary situation. What makes a local meeting spot feel welcoming to a first-time visitor?
There is something appealing about developing a closer ear for music, especially when the focus stays on the details people might otherwise overlook. Listening for one phrase can make a familiar piece sound different. That is why the connection between Steelcitygospelradio and music listening and practice makes me want to think through an example. I am still thinking through the practical side, because the context can change what seems useful. Which detail would you focus on before listening to the whole piece again?
I find exploring everyday food and cooking traditions easier to approach when there is a familiar situation to start from. An ingredient can carry a story about the place or family that uses it. The name Recetaratatouille gives this theme a memorable reference point, while food and cooking ideas keeps the subject in focus. It leaves me curious about the steps between understanding an idea and putting it into practice. Which part of a recipe would you ask someone to explain beyond the written measurements?
The idea of understanding the basics of solar energy gives me a reason to slow down and consider the details. Following the path from sunlight to electricity makes an unfamiliar system easier to picture. That practical perspective helps me frame solar energy education as a theme for Pro Solar. I am still thinking through the practical side, because the context can change what seems useful. Which questions would help a beginner understand the role of each part of the system?
