How do you pronounce Le Cellier?

[bjscheel]

Don't want to sound stupid when I call...I am imagining it is "Lay Selly-air"

Am I right?

I'm thinking our plain-food eating selves can find something good here

Le (Luh) Sell-ee-ay

Le (Luh) Sell-ee-ay

Huh. I was wrong. Darn those Spanish classes...should have taken French.

 

[perla75]

Good question-I wondered this myself!

 

[disneydreamgirl]

Do you know two in French? deux. Le rhymes with deux.

Nope! and i am terrible with trying to pronunciate words in other languages! Usually, if I am at a restaurant and I can't pronounce something, I'll either ask the waiter to say it or I'll just point to what I want, so not to butcher the language!

I've also never been to Le Cellier. At some point, we'd like to try it & I don't want to make a fool out of myself when I call for the ADR's!

Me too! I have said the Canadian restaurant to the CM's while making adrs and they then pronounce it for me so I don't come off a total idiot.

It's been my experience that most of the CMs at Disney Dining dont know how to say it either.... LOL

That's been my experience as well, both with Disney Dining and Concierge desks at two resorts -- all four of the people I talked to put the "r" on the end. I assumed it was correct, despite the fact that I thought it would be with the "ay" sound on the end.

 

[Dana49]

We pronounce it: "the restaurant in Canada." No muss, no fuss!

I have heard it pronounced "Lay-Sell-Yair" and "Lay-Sell-Yay", both by guests and CMs. I don't think you'd be mocked if you pronounced it either way.

 

[Disney Ella]

I have always heard it pronounced "La Sell Yay."

Uhm, can your plain food eating selves can pronounce "nothing available"? Seriously, this has become one of the hardest tables to get! I tried 186 and 187 days out and there was nada!

 

[MICKEEP]

if your a hockey fan, you know Vincent Lecavalier (luh-kav-uhl-YAY)
of the Tampa Bay Lightning. The ending of Le Cellier is the same, both end in YAY.

luh-sell-YAY

You're close - it's closer to "Luh - Cell - yay", with a soft emphasis on the "yay" .

But chances are that they will know what you are talking about if you just say "I would like an ADR for the restaurant in Canada " ! ! !

 

[lilyv]

I have always heard it pronounced "La Sell Yay."

That's how I pronounce it, too.

 

[donald&daisy]

LOL the first time I made an ADR there I asked for "The Cellar"...they knew what I meant. Now I pronounce it Le Cell-yay...with a southern twange.

Umm, I just called for November 17 and had my choice of times (at lunch).

I hesitated and then I resorted to "the restaurant in Canada"! I get tongue-tied even when I'm not nervous...

Thanks for the help anyway!

when I booked it in February, I asked for La-Sell-Yay, and the CM taking ressies came back with "I have two times for La-Sell-ee-ar that evening" When I asked was that really the way to say it, she said yes, they do not use the French pronunciation...

which I thought was funny...why bother with a French name?

 

[disneydreamgirl]

I don't think it really matters how you say it as they will know what you mean, especially if you say the Canadian restaurant. Most of the CM's over the phone mispronounce it anyway.

In Canada, most of us take French in school from Grade 4 or Grade 1 and keep up with it to the end of high school and some in English areas go to French immersion schools. French is one of our two official languages (there's a piece of trivia for you!) You are correct that "Le Cellier" means "The Cellar".
