10 days on FD, few excellent places

[roxazul]

We were there from sept.21 until sept.30 with FD, here are my thoughts on the restaurants we've tried (me & DD5).

Maybe It's because I'm used to different food (note that canadian eating should be similar to US) but we did'nt liked much the food we ate at Disney.
Only 2 exceptions in Epcot, see below for details.
The dining plan was way too much food, we shared a lot of CS meals & ended up with a bunch left.

Here are the ADRs we had :

CRT (MK - lunch)
Major Domo Pie was good, other things including the kid's chicken meal were just ok

Chefs de France (EP - lunch)
Excellent food, I choose onion soup, croque-monsieur & green salad with chocolate profiteroles for dessert, DD had the hamburger kid's meal with a chocolate cookie for dessert, everything was very tasteful !
Garden Grill (EP - dinner)
worst food I saw, maybe because I ate at Chefs that same day, but the fish was dry, the turkey was undercook & the rest was not good as well, I munched on the salad
Akershus (EP - dinner)
Best food I ate in Disney (& DD5 agrees), the appetizer cold bar has really good processed meats, 2 kinds of excellent cheeses, smoked salmon , I then choose the mustard-glazed salmon & DD had the pizza kid's meal, the salmon & vegetables accompanying it were fantastic !, the kid's pizza also had a different taste then what you eat at CS places, the desserts brought to the table were out of this world ! chocolate mousse, hot apple pie, cheesecake with raspberry coulis & vanilla ice cream
I could'nt believe I had read so much bad reviews for this one
Chef Mickey's (CR - dinner)
everything on the buffet was just ok, desserts were good
Crystal Palace (MK - breakfast)
everything on the buffet was just ok, we did'nt liked the puffed french toast & mickey waffles, most of the stuff is not really hot which we did'nt liked
Tony's Town Square (MK - dinner)
cesar salad & chicken kid's meal were just ok, thought we would enjoy Lady & the Tramp atmosphere but not worth it at all
1900 Park Fare (GF - dinner)
everything on the buffet was just ok, strawberry soup & cheese/tomato salad were good

& we also ate at those CS locations :

Everything Pop (Pop Century)
tried a bunch of things, reuben flat bread, cheesesteak sub, chicken cesar salad, pizza, nuggets, hamburger, breakfast platter, tie-dye cheesecake, plain cheesecake, everything was just ok
Pizzafari (AK)
pizza was just ok
Pinocchio Village Haus (MK)
pizza & cesar salad were just ok, chocolate cake was good
Fairfax Fare (HS) shredded pork sub was good

& did the Wishes Dessert Party (MK)
all the desserts were excellent & the location was superb to view Wishes, bear in mind we had a front row table, Tinkerbell flew just over our heads, we did'nt care about Spectromagic that night (cause you can't see it from there)
worth the $ IMO

This is just my opinion of course but I thought I would share.

Thanks for your reviews. It just goes to show how different people's tastes are. We LOVE the puffed french toast at CP and we did not like lunch at Akershus and won't go back (we did enjoy the cold buffet, but the other food was gross). Glad to see your review of Chefs de France. It gets good reviews for lunch but there have been some awful reviews for dinner. We're going to try it next year.
