Had dinner Fri 1-11-13 at 8:00 pm. When approaching the hostess at podium, I asked her to say my name and time in French, as I knew my daughter would be excited if I did. The hostess refused to speak French to me and made a point to respond in English. Weird. She also did not smile at anyone. The man who called our names piped up though and said I spoke French quite well. He was very nice.
On to the waiter: he was distracted the whole time. There were only 2 of us and he barely stopped at all at the table. When he handed us out dessert menus, he actually had his back to us holding out the menus behind him while talking to the people at the table next to us! Lol! Omg how lame.
Ok so mediocre food not very French at all. The only French thing on menu was escargot. I had tenderloin and it was tender I can say that, cheesy potatoes ok and thin frozen green beans were plain and tasteless. My appetizer was a simple salad. Daughter had macaroni and cheese was ok.
1 dessert, little piece of cake with 1 raspberry, 1 glass of wine, 2 coffees. Bill was 105.00. Not worth it at all, will pass this one by next time.

Our party of 6 had dinner here in September of 2021 and could not have been more disappointed. I have eaten here many times over the years and it has gotten progressively worst but this was the worst. I understand since Covid the servers are no longer region authentic, which is a huge atmospheric loss, but the quality and quantity of the food has declined greatly too. Don't bother with the charcuterie board, we received packaged saltine crackers with a few not great cheeses and a pate that was yucky. The filet was not filet, it was another cut of beef (perhaps a shoulder cut), the salmon was dry, the potatoes were decent, the veggies nothing to write home about. I have never minded paying for good food but they charge a premium here and the food was on par with a hospital cafeteria. It is not worth the money.
Pros:
Servers were nice but inexperienced. Martini's were good.Cons:

Having been to Paris I can\\'t say I\\'m much surprised by the food quality in this pavilion. Like Paris, the only really good food comes from the bakery. Chefs de France is a pretty place but not one of the restaurants you\\'re going to walk into and be overwhelmed by. The food is absolutely disappointing IMO. I ordered the short ribs over noodles and it tasted IDENTICAL to a Lean Cuisine that I\\'ve had a million times in my lifetime! It was so bad that I couldn\\'t even finish it. The one good thing I tried was the lobster bisque. I wish I had just had a big bowl of that instead of what I would call and amuse bouche due to the tiny size. My Dad enjoyed his salmon though. On another visit I had the ham and cheese crepe and it was also disgusting. Two times was enough for me when there are so many better options in this park. Food at any given restaurant was surprisingly very bad in Paris and we probably have eaten in at least 7 or 8 different ones, so I would say that Chef\\'s is on par with the real deal. Skip this one and go for Rose and Crown or Garden Grill if you want more than the novelty of eating in France.

We ate here during the week of April 22, 2019. We had first eaten here two years ago, hadn't been thrilled with the food, but wanted to try it again. Unfortunately, the experience had not improved. The tables are very close together and so if someone is seated next to your party, there is no privacy. Our waiter was not at all friendly. My mother had the French Onion soup, which she disliked. My daughter and I had the macaroni and cheese, which was average. We didn't stay for dessert because we just wanted to get out of there. For an expensive meal at Disney, I was surprised at both the service and the flavors. Next time we all agreed we'd rather go to Via Napoli for pizza!
Pros:
We had an ADR and were seated on time.Cons:

Visited Les Chefs de France on Friday, May 13, 2016 for dinner. We had dinner reservations for 7:45 and waited about 15 minutes to be seated. My husband and I each ordered the French Onion soup for our entrée, and we shared a cured meat platter as our appetizer. Our waiter was very abrupt during our ordering process and appeared to be in a rush. When our soup arrived, it looked really good. Our first bite of the bread crust and cheese covering the soup was very difficult to get on the soup spoon. The cheese was so thick and almost elastic like in texture and the bread crust under the cheese was like mush. We each had to cut through the elastic cheese with our knives in order to get it on the spoon. Once we got through the cheese and bread crust, the onion broth was at a minimum, just barely warm. Our waiter was unavailable to hear our complaint of the barely warm soup as he rushed by our table several times when we tried to flag him down. By the time he got back to our table, we were ready to pay our tab and leave. Our half eaten soup bowls were whisked away and we were presented with our bill. We were very disappointed with our meal AND with the lack of personal service at the restaurant. Will not be back at this restaurant in the future.

My honeymooning husband and I booked Les Chef de Paris because we are famous of Pixar and Remy, the rat. It is cute taking pictures with animatronic Remy, but the restaurant had a very touristy, faux French feel. We felt that Paris was the least authentic Epcot World, and would really not recommend this restaurant.

We made reservations and told them it was an anniversary dinner. Arrived early, still waited for table. Sat right by the door asked if we could be moved as this was our anniversary dinner, was told no. Was rushed through our courses. People kept coming in the door and looking at what people were eating!!! Food was decent just not great. Service was not attentive at all. Never acknowledged anniversary once. Just don't bother, nicer places at Epcot.

Very disappointed with our meal here. It was not as good as it has been in the past. I had the scallops and shrimp. It consisted of 3 shrimp and 2 scallops in a lemon and corriander sauce, supposedly with mushrooms, potatoes, bacon, carrots. There were about 5 cubes of potatoes in mine but the carrots and mushrooms were missing. I could see the carrots in the same dish at the table next to us. Our party of 5 was seated at a table for 4 with one extra place setting stuck on the end in a walkway between the main restaurant and the dining area next to the walkway to the theatre. The tables were very small, so they should have put us at a table for 6. We were served one baguette for all 5 of us. I observed at a nearby table that a party of 4 was served 2 baguettes. We requested more and were given one. The quality of the food at our table was fair at best. One of our party was not on the dining plan and ordered from the pric fixe menu. His soup was served in a fancy bowl. He could not find the cheese in his French Onion Soup. I noticed at a nearby table that someone was served the onion soup in a bigger bowl and she had lots of cheese oozing from her spoon as she was eating. Perhaps those using a dining plan or opting for the pric fixe menu are second class citizens here.

Was really looking forward to this meal - we opted for the prix fixe for both of us, and both of us left almost our entire meal on the plate. The steak tasted like canned dog food, and the chocolate "mousse" was dense to the point of being difficult to eat. Even the bread was hard and stale. I hope it was an off day, but we won't be going again to find out.

We arrived early and were quickly taken to our table to be greeted by our friendly waiter. After drinks we all selected the prix fixe menu...French Onion soup, beef and dessert. We asked twice for more bread that came in a bag as it was not enough for our party of four. The soup was hot but a bit salty. The beef was very fatty and cold. The chocolate ice cream for dessert was very soft. Other members in my party did enjoy their apple tart, crème brulee, and chocolate cake. I would not recommend this restaurant.
