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?

I’ve heard of it around the forums before, but, had no clue it was that pricey.
Unless we somehow came into large sums of money, I would never even entertain the thought of spendin’ that much money on a single meal…!!!!! 🤪:hilarious:

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.

The filet with peppercorn sauce was drenched in it :p

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

Went to Ohana last year and I thought service was too fast. They practically shoved the food at the table.

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.

Came across an article (from the Today Show, last fall). Now, I always known that Victoria and Albert's was pricey, but it makes Monsieur Paul look like a "bargain" in comparison! :p (You may want to add this restaurant to your ignore list as well. ;) )

Nearly fell off my chair reading the prices. Got a chuckle out of this guy's comment, which sums it up: “Crazy over priced…” wrote one user on Reddit. “Michelin star restaurants in NYC don’t even cost that much (except the very best, like Eleven Madison Park, which is 'only' $335.)”

It is in the back of France on the second floor. It is to me non descript with only a door and a window with a sign Chefs de France. The one place not easy to find and all the way in the back of DHS is Mama Melrose. We ate there , it was OK. We were told years ago when Tom Cruise and his young daughter Suri went there to eat , guests lost their minds at Mama Melrose. A pricey ticket is Party for the Senses during Food and Wine $300 and up per person included 50 tasting stations and all u can drink for 3 hours. Odd to see guests going inside with shirt and tie / black dress and high heels .

Sounds like a good place to be publicly pretentious! Shirt and Tie /black dress and high heels in a theme park just sounds like serious mental illness to me. I feel I have just bonded with @MinnieM123, my snow loving vs. pleasant temperature loving adversary.

I've been to NYE at Epcot several times. Some guests do get dressed up shirt and tie , blank dress, high heels.

Right... formality and Walt Disney World. A place that is so confused about it's identity that it is bombarded with t-shirts during the day that boldly ask the question "Who Farted" and white tie and tails at night. Nothing pretentious about that. Listen I don't care what others do, just own it. Anyone that thinks the Epcot is the French Riviera has an lack of self identification. The only person that could pull that off might be Bond, James Bond!

I mean I will never go inside and eat there but for those who are willing to pay get scammed then by all means. Go for it. But just don't complain after like everyone does on Twitter now.

Today's world is crazy for that.

Mama Melrose is one place that's generally hit or miss; that being said, the last few times it's been decent and better than many QS options at DHS. The staff there is wonderful. I injured my knee in the park last trip, and though I'd been to first aid, my stubborn butt said no to a wheelchair. There was a very nice older lady there who saw I had ice on my knee, and when I told her what happened, she reassured me that it would be free, I would not look stupid in a chair, and then their manager went and tracked down a chair. We later found out that in addition to my previously torn PCL, my MCL is now torn, so it was probably better that I wasn't hobbling around stubbornly on it that day. That's just the most recent example, but the staff there is always a standout.
