This was so good. I honestly did not know what to expect from a restaurant like this within Disney, but expectations were far exceeded. Everything was perfect. Our server Arthur was a pleasure to spend the evening with. Started with the lobster salad and escargot. Presentation of the lobster salad was excellent. Escargot includes a small flower from Epcot's best - worst attraction 'Living With The Land' so it's an automatic winner. Besides that, it tasted amazing. The fish course... I can not speak highly enough about the sea bass. Served in essentially what is a croissant, I could eat this every day. The sauce Choron puts it even further over-the-top. The seared scallops in maple pumpkin were excellent, but get the sea bass. The palate cleanser involves a pear in a bottle... pear brandy.... An unexpected delight Rack of lamb... perfect And then, the chocolate desert. Such a joy to finish dinner with. They turn over the tables by the window so the earliest (5pm) and latest (7:15?)reservations get those seats.

This review will come with a disclaimer, but more about that later. This place has an upscale dining feel, with accommodating servers who make you feel comfortable and taken care of, even if you're more of a pizza-chomper like me. Eating here is an experience, the dishes are well-crafted, delicious and pretty. You'd start with champagne and amuse-bouche, appetizer, fish dish, intermezzo of brandy over sorbet, meat dish, cheese platter, then dessert (and yummy bread offerings in between!). Our server Romain was knowledgeable, sharing information on our food, wine, French dining customs, and interesting tidbits. It's pricey, but worth the experience. My favorite dish of the evening was the escargot, recommended by our server, the snails were hidden underneath beautiful green soup that's really delicious. Disclaimer: This place only has prix fixe menu currently, it's not cheap, expect to spend at least $200+/person. Arrive hungry, you'd get at least 6 main dishes here, even though some of them have small portions, you'd be full! Expect to spend at least 2.5 hours here, you'd want to plan your park visit accordingly. We were seated by the window overlooking the lake, might be nice to watch the 9pm fireworks from this place! Hold off on ordering more alcoholic drinks than provided, save some room for the brandy-soaked sorbet in the middle! It's pretty strong but really good. They will totally accommodate any of your drink requests tho.

Monsieur Paul is amazing! My husband and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary there about two months ago. We were seated at a beautiful window table and enjoyed every single dish we were served! If you get a chance to try this enchanting restaurant, do not hesitate!

This was my first trip to Disney/Epcot. This restaurant was a last minute choice and it was the best meal of my life. The whole experience was made by our waiter Florian. He is passionate about food and made the whole experience unforgettable. The food was all fantastic however Florian was the star of the show. Best meal ever!

This restaurant (inside the France Pavillon at Epcot) has a true French vibe to it. We had dinner upstairs overlooking the lake. The menu is a set menu where you can choose the different courses from a selection of three. I had the Lobster Salad, the Snapper, Beef Tenderloin and the Apple Tart. It's plenty of food spaced out. Also in typical French fashion this dinner lasts over 2 hours. The food was deliciously prepared, fresh and with a really nice taste. Paired with a good wine, this is truly a delight. We had an incredible French server named Alexis. He was extremely attentive and contributed a lot to the experience. Now, all of this does not come cheap. Prepared for this to be well over $200 per person with wine. But in return, you're getting an incredible meal experience with a beautiful view, especially at 9 PM when the fireworks happen.

This place is a hidden gem. The food is better... yes better... than Victoria & Albert's. Do not think it's just too expensive. Go. You won't regret it.

We dined there for dinner, and everything was very good, except for the beef loin was slightly overcooked. I had asked for it medium rare, and it came medium. Not a problem. Unfortunately they were out of the particular caviar extra course I wanted, but that turned out to be a good thing because it was plenty of delicious food. The service was excellent and the timing was good. I ordered the wine pairing which I enjoyed very much. I would definitely make this part of an Epcot experience again.
We went here to celebrate our anniversary. We had a fantastic time! The staff were very friendly, knowledgeable & made us feel like we were old friends. Yes, this place is expensive. But it's an experience & you will not leave hungry, it's an 8 course pre-fixed meal. At the time of writing this it was $195 per person. You get a glass of champagne & 2 smaller alcoholic beverages. There's an option to add on a wine pairing or there are other options. Very happy we got to experience this!

I will confess this is one of my favorite places to have a fine dining dinner in Orlando. The menu is prix Fix which is a turn off for a lot if people that are looking for budget friendly French experience, but for me the price is fair for an outstanding 2+ hour dinner. Check my photos and get the wine pairing, it's outstanding. The Chef has been at this property for many years and is easy to talk to about menu concerns or just to say hi (Chef Bruno). The manager 8s equally qualified and runs a great restaurant. He represents Chef Paul so we'll and happily will have a chat at your table (Mr. Philippe Girard)

A luxurious and leisurely haute cuisine prix fixe served by Disney's slightly amateurish yet endearing cultural ambassadors. Overall: magnifique.

We have eaten here over the years, but not since the Covid. Came back yesterday and had a really great experience. Great food, great ambience, great service. Florian, our waiter was terrific. The food was out of this world. We’ve eaten another places at Walt Disney World, and this was the best. Very happy. Highly recommended.
