Table-Service credit and I recommend you opt for the Prix Fixe Menu as that will allow you to choose an appetizer, entrée, and dessert which really maximizes your dining credit. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner service. An Advanced Dining Reservation( ADR) is definitely recommended as this is a popular restaurant and it’ s not uncommon to see people queuing up for a table.
The cuisine is classic French bistro fare, think slow cooked stews, fresh salads, fish, and more. If you have ever been to France and eaten at a brasserie you will feel a pretty overwhelming sense of déjà vu as the food and ambience are really authentically French.
My wife and I dined at Chefs de France for dinner on our most recent trip to WDW. We both opted for the Prix Fixe Menu and ordered an appetizer, entrée, and dessert. The whole menu is not available, but the Prix Fixe options include the restaurants most popular dishes, so there’ s a good chance what you want to order will be available anyway. What follows is a trip through our meal.
My wife went with the Soupe à l’ oignon gratinée( French Onion Soup) topped with Gruyère cheese and I had the Salade aux lardons et croutons( Selected greens with house vinaigrette dressing, diced smoked bacon, tomatoes, and homemade croutons). We were also given a basket of fresh, warm baguette and delicious French butter.
First off the soup, now you’ ve probably had French Onion Soup before, you’ ve probably even had good French Onion Soup before but, at Chefs de France you can enjoy PERFECT French Onion Soup. I have only good things to say about this dish. The soup broth was rich, dark, and bursting with flavor. The cheese on top was perfectly melted with the delicious gooey parts and the little crispy bits
