In the quest to eventually eat a meal at every Epcot World Showcase Pavilion, I was excited to check France off of our list by having dinner at Chefs de France.

I was struck by how pretty the France Pavilion was at night. They’ve really made an effort to capture the romantic Parisian vibe.

Using the dining plan, we were presented with two options. We could go with a prix-fixe dinner that included a soup or salad, a choice of designated entrees, and a dessert, or we could choose one of the entrees not under the prix-fixe, and a dessert, but no soup/salad. Everyone ended up going with the prix-fixe because getting three things is better than two.

I started off with the French onion soup. I’d pretty much eat anything covered in a layer of melted cheese.  You know it’s good French onion soup when you can do a nice cheese lift.

You could taste the high quality of the Gruyere. I also appreciated that the onion was chopped into thick chunks instead of thin little rings.  It was some of the best French onion soup I’ve had thus far.

Our waiter, Lidio, was indeed French. In fact, I think if you looked up French waiter on Wikipedia, you would find a picture of Lidio.

I could totally see him pouring drinks for Ernest Hemingway and F.Scott Fitzgerald at one of their Paris café haunts. He was attentive and seemed genuinely interested in our meal enjoyment. He was one of two of my favorite waiters this trip.

For our entrees, Shannon and I both got the short ribs braised in Cabernet, with baby onions and carrots, served with creamy polenta.

It was really yummy, especially the sauce. I soaked up every last drop. The short rib was nice and tender.

One of the best parts of traveling with friends, is that they let you try their food.

I was able to try some of Lenny’s salmon. I’m usually hesitate to order salmon, fearing that it will end up being dry, but the salmon at Chefs de France was very moist and tasty.

Everyone else at the table got the chicken. The teens were able to change out their mashed potatoes for the pomme frites. Thumbs up from everyone.

The portions were large, so we were running out of steam by dessert. Good thing they had some nice, lighter dessert choices.

Where have meringue baskets been? Why did I not know about this delight? I’ve had meringue before, but never in basket form. It was so light and delicate. I would have been happy with just the basket as my dessert, but of course filling it with cream and berries made it all the better. I’m also never going to turn down a side of sorbet.

Shannon got the trio of sorbets which included passion fruit, coconut, and raspberry.

I thought about getting the swan cream puff because who doesn’t love food shaped like animals, but I wasn’t feeling chocolate. I was glad our dining mate Brenda got it so I could admire it’s cuteness (you should probably already be fearing my future trip to Japan and all of my food shaped like things photos).

We all enjoyed our dinner at Chefs de France. The large portions and high quality of food make it a nice dining plan value.
