Setting: Monsieur Paul replaced Bistro de Paris in December 2012. While still offering a much more elegant and refined experience than Les Chefs downstairs, it’s less stuffy and more inviting than the previous incarnation.
Advantages:
- The ideal spot for a romantic dinner with very few kids around. Tends to be very calm.
- The fanciest food at Epcot; great attention to detail.
Disadvantages:
- Limited, expensive menu. Only five entrees to choose from. The $89 prix fixe menu offers two additional entrees, but the bone-in ribeye requires two people purchasing the meal.
- Not ideal for most kids. The restaurant recently introduced a kids’ menu, but the appetizers are squash soup and ham and gruyere cake.
Tips: Plan a reservation around 7:30pm and request a window table for an elevated view of IllumiNations.
Value: Above average. Table Service prices have risen so much that Monsieur Paul isn’t much more expensive than Chefs de Franc downstairs.
Reputation: After the renovation was complete in late 2012, Monsieur Paul got off to a bit of a slow start. Fortunately, the restaurant is operating on all cylinders and the vast majority of patrons enjoy their meals. Overpriced? Sure, but everything else is too.
Just letting you know that the menu link is for Yak and Yeti, not Monsieur Paul. 🙂
