That day we had lunch planned at the Rendevous de Stars Restaurant in the Walt Disney Studios Park.
Our main goal was to see Chef Remy!
So this is a buffet and the line was right out the door. Once we were inside people were shuffing their way past us and just trying to sneak in. (Yip, this is Europe!)
Once it was our turn a CM pointed at a table and talked to us in French. We told her that we only spoke English and she still pointed to the table and said "your table".
So what would YOU do? Go to the table and sit down? Well, that was what we intended, but she kind of shouted at us and shuffed us towards another CM, who was collecting the money beforehand!!!
I should have been warned then!
So I paid for our meal and she took our drinks order, then we were "sent" to our table. Soon after our drinks were delivered.
No glass, no straw, just two cans of coke!!
In the meantime Remy had made his appearance, but they just stopped at certain places, so we had to go "hunt" him down.
Once we had taken a few photos I was going to get some of the food!
Starting with the "white stuff" and going clockwise. The white stuff was potato salad - icy cold and as tasteless as can be. Ratatuille - cold too, not very good.
Olives, straight out of a glass, ham - well, just ham and some pate that must have been sitting there for quite a while because it was dry and lukewarm. The mushrooms came straight out of can as well - blah!!!
So, we took a spoonful of everything and that was it.
Second plate - we were sharing these! Pasta salad - overcooked tasteless pasta
couscous, now that was yummy and we ate every little cernel of it. Tomatoes with little taste and creamy coleslaw, that was really yummy. The Orzo salad was just gross! Overcooked and no taste at all. The chickpea salad was good though!
Our first hot plate. Turkey scewers - must have been real old turkey who probable committed suicide, because I have never before had such tough turkey! Not really warm! A little more Ratatuille, hot this time and with the addition of a little salt it was even edable. Paella - now that was horrible stuff. The shrimp was HARD and tough - the mussels all shrunk! And the rice was just overcooked mush with lots of Curcuma.
Another plate of hot food! We both liked the potatoes, even though they were a tad greasy. The fish actually tasted off and we did not eat more than a tiny bite. Pickled veggies - seemed to be out of a jar and white rice.
Penne and meatball - okay, not more and boeuf bourguignon. Now that was really nice with the meat being so soft it could be cut with a fork!
Pizza, pre made, but one of the highlights out of those offerings!
Chicken wings - these were horrible. Chicken nuggets - well, McDs are haute cuisine, compored to these! Poor kids!!!
Desserts - ALL of these were really yummy, so at least we could fill up on something!
Dear Remy - if this is the best you can do, I would rather be fed by a Mouse!

Please, please, please tell me it's gets better at DLRP!
To pay those prices and not have anything be decent besides dessert is such a shame. Remy did look pretty cute tho...that's a plus. Can't wait to read more, and hopefully things got better for you!
