DH and I made a quick trip to WDW this weekend, and we ate at Chefs de France Friday night. This was about the 5th times we've had dinner there.
I had the mac and cheese (I realize it's not called mac and cheese on the menu
) for the 3rd or 4th time (I'm vegetarian, so my choices are limited, and the one time I had the lasagne, I thought DH and I made much yummier lasagne).
The mac and cheese was DELICIOUS. It was piping hot from the oven (baked just long enough for the top few noodles to have a nice brown toastiness
). The one time I didn't like this dish was when it came to my table warm rather than hot, so I was happy that it apparently came straight from the oven this time.
DH had the beef short ribs braised in Cabernet on a bed of polenta. He thought the food was OK but not a good value for the price. I think the prices have gone up since the last time we were there--he had ordered the Filet de boeuf grille, sauce au poivre noir Gratin Dauphinois et haricots verts - Grilled tenderloin of beef with a black pepper sauce original potato gratin of Savoy and green beans--in the past, and it's now priced at $31.95, up several dollars (we think) from early last year.
For desert, we shared something that is not on the allearsnet.com menu--a kind of chocolate mousse cake on a crispy shell, with a tiny scoop of coconut ice cream, plus bananas, blueberries, and a few other scattered toppings. DH also had a coffee with some kind of liqueur and whiskey that he said "was not as good as the coffee with Starbucks liqueur and Amaretto that I had at Mama Melrose." (He is SO picky.
)
Here's a photo I took--on the left is the area where the chefs hand the food out to the servers. To the right is a display of desserts and wine. Check out the floor--it's all done in mosaic swirls of earth-toned tiles--I just love it!
