Figment Goes to the Flower & Garden (& Food) Festival...
Les Chefs de France (Epcot, Lunch)
For one of the last meals of the trip, Figment headed to France to say "hi" to Remy. The meals starts with a baguette and butter.
For his appetizers, Figment had the Soupe a l'oignon gratinee (top) and the Bisque de homard (bottom). The onion soup broth and cheese topping has very good flavor, but Figment forgot that the onions aren't caramelized. They're cooked (soft), but not browned, so some of the flavor is missing and the onions themselves aren't that tasty. The bisque is very good and has pieces of lobster.
While waiting for the entrees to arrive, Remy came by to say "hi". Figment always likes seeing Remy.
For his entree, Figment had the Plat de Cote de boeuf au cabernet avec pates. The short ribs are fork tender. The sauce is very good and goes well with the noddles.
For dessert, Figment had the Biscuit sable Breton, compote de rhubarbe a l'orange, fraise fraiches, sorbet rhubarbe et fraise (top) and the Profiteroles au Chocolat (bottom). The strawberry dessert was very good; light and fluffy, with fresh strawberries. The profiteroles were very good. They were filled with ice cream and topped with chocolate sauce. These shells with tender on the inside, but still crisp on the outside. Very yummy!
Narcoossee's (Grand Floridian Resort, Dinner)
For the final dinner of the trip, Figment returned to Narcoossee's. Narcoossee's is still Figment's favorite restaurant in Disney World. The food is always excellent and the service is outstanding.
The meal starts with sourdough bread and butter dusted with sea salt.
We got to know our server pretty well from our visits over the last few years, so he brought Figment his own drink!
For Figment's appetizer, he got the calamari. It was as good as usual, with crispy batter and tender calamari.
For his entrees, he had the Steamed Main Lobster (top), the Butter-poached Maine Lobster Tail with Grilled Filet Mignon (middle), and the Crab Cakes with Grilled Filet Mignon (bottom). The lobster was really yummy and excellently prepared. The Filet Nignons were very good and the lobster tail and crab cakes were also really good. (Figment substituted the crab cakes for the lobster tail on one dish due to an allergy.) All of the entrees were excellent.
Then it was time for dessert. Figment decided to have his favorites because this was the last night of the trip. So it was time for the Almond-crusted Cheesecake (top), Mango Sorbet with Fresh Berries (middle), and the Chocolate Torte (bottom). They were all very yummy.
Next time...snack and other goodies from WDW! And then (Figment is saying "finally!"), Figment's review of the
