Bistro de Paris

Located in the France pavilion in Epcot's World Showcase are two terrific restaurants, Chefs de France and Bistro de Paris, in addition to a walk-through counter-service establishment along the back street known as the Patisserie. The Bistro is located in the upper level, directly over the Chefs de France on street level. 

The Bistro de Paris serves dinner only, and is a decidedly more "upscale" eatery than the Chefs de France. The food here is gourmet--and is priced accordingly (see menu). The decor is posh, and the service is intense. If you're seated close to a window, you'll have a nice view of World Showcase Lagoon from a seldom-seen angle; if you're there while Illuminations: Reflections of Earth is being performed, you'll have a spectacular seat from which to see it.

Aronda dined here one evening a couple of years ago, and while she enjoyed her experience, it wasn't what she was hoping it would be. Sure, the food was "good," but she was really expecting an extra-special upgrade to the kind of menu items available downstairs. This would probably be a terrific experience for the gourmand, but for those who prefer a high-quality rendition of foods with which they're fairly familiar, this may be a notch or two too haute! Of course, even for the less adventurous among us, there are a few items here that will fill the bill. 

The ambience here is wonderful--very quiet, formal without being too stuffy for Disney Guests to enjoy themselves, and located in an incredible location. The setting is perfect for a romantic dinner getaway--imagine the perfect ending to a wonderful day. For those staying at any of the Epcot Resort area hotels around Crescent Lake, the walk back to the room after dinner here is itself surely as satisfying as the meal itself!

To enter Bistro de Paris, it's best to go around to the back of the Chefs de France 
restaurant where a separate door leads into a podium and the stairs which take you to the second floor Bistro
