What makes Chefs de France special

Chefs de France is a classic brasserie in EPCOT's France pavilion, serving French staples like onion soup gratinée, escargots, roasted chicken, and steak frites a few steps from World Showcase Lagoon. The restaurant was founded in the tradition of French chefs Paul Bocuse, Gaston Lenôtre, and Roger Vergé.

The dining room is bright and lively, with tall windows onto the promenade, and it works for both a relaxed lunch and a fuller dinner. Crème brûlée and profiteroles are the desserts most tables reach for.

Remy from Ratatouille often makes the rounds between tables in his little cart, which makes it a favorite with kids and Ratatouille fans.

Why Chefs de France is hard to book

France is one of EPCOT's busiest World Showcase pavilions, and Chefs de France is its full-service restaurant. During the EPCOT festivals and around dinner, tables fill quickly and openings don't last long.

Weekends and festival weeks are the hardest windows, but cancellations do free up across the calendar.

Good to know before you book

Chefs de France serves lunch and dinner, and it's an easy walk from most of World Showcase. It's a good fit if you want a proper sit-down meal between pavilions rather than grazing at festival booths, and lunch tends to be easier to land than dinner.

How to catch a cancellation

Openings come back as plans change, usually a day or two before a date. A freed table gets re-booked fast, so an alert beats refreshing the app by hand.

Tables reopen as plans shift, and a little know-how on the 60-day booking window goes a long way. Set an alert above and we'll email and text you the moment a table drops.
