I was disappointed at Chefs de France. The food was way better at our cruise.
Only good thing was that our chef (an old dude named Remy who spoke 5 -7 languages) was funny and had good stories to share.
Sorry you had a bad experience there. We've mostly had good meals there with maybe one exception. For a long while it was a must do every year until Remy left then it was time to spread our wings a bit

AAA sends out random articles about travel, restaurants, etc. This morning. I was reading about some of the higher end restaurants at WDW. One of them, Monsieur Paul, is located above Chefs de France. It's a prix fixe at $195/pp, and it includes: two cocktails, an hors d’oeuvre, fish course, palate cleanser of sorbet and brandy, meat course, cheese course and dessert. Granted, I usually don't keep up with TS restaurants on property, but somehow I don't think I've even heard about this particular one. Anyone else familiar with it?
We did it in 2019. The food was good but not worth the money in our opinion. Definitely a one and done.

We loved BOG for both lunch and dinner when it first opened until they screwed it up. Tiffins was worth every penny. California Grill was great but not worth it with the boys but the one restaurant I never liked was O'hanna too faux Polynesian for my taste with too slow service

You should try it again. It was probably an off night. The French onion soup and the braised beef...so good.
I guess I should try the braised beef. I tried the french onion and the bread was dry and the soup was watery :(
The scargots were horrible.

The only decent was my beef filet with peppercorn sauce. But still was inferior to anything on all the cruises I've been.

It's not normally like that...you must have been on a very off night. I've tried french onion soups everywhere I go and that one is the best one anywhere besides the one they used to have at Cafe Orleans at DL. My dad loves the escargot. I refuse to eat certain things...snails are one of them.

And no, you shouldn't get the filet there...anything drenched in a sauce is where they shine.

Oui. It was a one and done for me. The food and service was excellent but not a place to go with kids. I thought Chefs and Les Hailles were more relaxed and the food a less heavy
No food, either new, old or borrowed from another culture is worth that much money. I don't care how it was cooked, who cooked it or what was cooked. I will go to a good steak house because to me it almost guarantees a tender, tasty steak, but the best amounted to a third of that cost and I'm sure the portions were much bigger too. I just don't understand why anyone wouldn't have massive indigestion after paying that much.

OK, I understand that I was raised in a much less affluent set up, but nothing about the process appeals to me. I will dress nicely for a higher level experience, but who I am with will make it more of a worthwhile experience then just paying ransom amounts for a meal. That alone will keep me away. I guess I was just brought up to place a personal value on everything. And I have never met a piece of food that I would ever consider worth that much money.
