Day 3 (cont)
Wolfgang Puck Cafe

For appetizers we got two orders of calamari, bbq chicken quesadilla, and a Caesar Salad.

Crispy Calamari - Served with marinated English cucumbers and sweet curry aioli. - $11.95. I've the calamari was ok. I like my calamari lightly battered, and I felt that there was a little too much batter on these calamari. I know I'm weird, but my favorite calamari are the ones with legs. These calamari were in rings. The sweet curry aioli was a nice change from the standard marinara sauce. It tasted like Indian curry. The portion was massive. We could not eat two orders of it. Next time, we will only buy one.

BBQ Chicken Quesadilla - Served with pico de gallo, guajillo chili sauce, and sour cream. - $11.95. I took a bite, and these are sooo delicious. You can taste the cheese, bbq sauce, and chicken. Its heavenly mixed all together. Its one of the best quesadillas I've ever tasted.

Classic Caesar Salad - Hearts of Romaine, croutons and freshly grated parmesan cheese. - $5.95. This was also very delicious.

For our entrees we had:

Me & Mom: Sushi Chef Sampler
Dad: Salmon
Sister: Macadadamia Nut Crusted Breast of Chicken

Chef's Sampler - 1/2 California roll, 1/2 Spicy tuna roll, 5 pieces of Nigiri Sushi, 3 pieces of Sashimi, Edamame and Miso soup. - $24.95. Everything was very fresh and was delicious. The five pieces of Nigiri I believe were shrimp, white tuna, red tuna, salmon, and yellowtail. Don't quote me on that though. I'm not a wasabi fan, so I like my Nigiri free from wasabi. Wolfgang puts a little bit of wasabi in between the fish and rice, so I had to scrape off the wasabi. But other than that the fish was fresh and tasty. I don't know if I would pay $24.95 OOP for this. That just seems steep. But I may be spoiled with cheap Japanese food prices because there are lots of Japanese restaurants around where I live, keeping the prices low.

Atlantic Salmon - Served with Saffron potato escalopes, asparagus and basil butter sauce. - $24.95. I tasted the salmon and it had very good flavor.

Macadamia Nut Crusted Breast of Chicken - Served with papaya marmalade, micro greens salad, and roasted garlic mashed potatoes. - $23.95. This dish was soo pretty. The chicken was moist and tender, and mixed well with the apaya marmalade.

For dessert we had: creme brulee, white chocalate cheesecake, and two carrot cakes (we packed one togo)

The best dessert was the carrot cake. Oh my goodness, that icing was to die for. And the spices in the cake were just right. (sorry no picture of that). We thought the creme brulee was pretty good until we tasted the maple creme brulee at Le Cellier. But the creme brulee at Wolfgang also tastes good. The cheesecake was rich and creamy, although I couldn't really taste the white chocalate.

White Chocalate Cheesecake

Overall we found the food and service at WPC great. I liked that there is a lot of variety in the menu, allowing people with all tastes to find something they enjoy.

[disneyquilter]

[TigerKat]

I just may keep my WGP ADR !!!

 

[MickeyNicki]

I have had the BBQ chicken quesadilla from WPE and it was awesome! I agree with you regarding the calimari, I like it in a thin, light batter too. We ordered it at Mama Melrose and it was way to heavy on the breading and none with "legs"

 

[smithstation]

to read about coral reef and the others!! yum!

Day 4
We spent the morning at AK. I walked the Maharajah Jungle Trek, and took this awesome picture of a tiger.

Lottawatta Lodge
After AK, we headed over to Blizzard Beach and ate at Lottawatta lodge. I don't have any pictures of the food I ate. My family shared two cheesburgers and a turkey sandwich. The food here was not good. The buns for the cheeseburgers were stale and did not come with any lettuce or tomatoes. The turkey sandwich was only ok. It was pre-pakaged and the bread was on the hard side. I recommend you eat lunch at another place before you come to Blizzard Beach.
Chefs De France
Our disappointing lunch was made up by the wonderful meal we had at Chefs De France. Here's a picture I took of the French Pavillion.

Appetizers:

Tartare de Saumon legerement fume, sauce moutarde - Tartare of raw salmon lightly smoked with cucumber dill and honey mustard sauce. - $10.50. I had this. This was one of the best appetizers of the whole trip. If you like raw salmon, you will definitely love this dish. Its raw salmon with a twist, because it also has a smoked flavor. SOOOOO delicious. It literally melts in your mouth. It was soo good that I didn't even realize that this dish came with a bread roll. I guess you're suppose to spread the salmon over bread. It tasted good by itself to me though.

Cassolette d'escargots de Bourgogne au beurre persille - Casserole of Burgundian escargots baked in parsley and garlic butter. - $9.95. My dad had this. I had one and it was delicious. The sauce that the snail was swimming ing was heavenly.

Tarte a la flamme Alsacienne - Alsace specialty. Flat bread baked with cream fraiche, onion and bacon. - $8.50. The onions on this flat bread were so sweet and tasty. Everything mixed well together.

Ratatouille et calamars, sauce tomate - Fried calamari and ratatouille, spicy tomato sauce. - $10.75. This was my least favorite appetizer. I did not care for the tomato sauce.

Entrees:
Noix de Saint Jacques et gambas sautees Flan d'epinards, sauce a l'oseille - Sauteed scallops and black tiger shrimp served with spinach flan and sorrel sauce. - $27.95. My dad and I both got this. We are both seafood lovers. This was also one of the best dishes that I ordered on the trip. The seafood was tasty and fresh. And the sorrel sauce was delicious. I don't even know that a sorrel sauce is, but I like it.

Canard au miel, haricots vert et pommes de terre douce - Roasted breast of duck and leg confit, French green beans and sweet potato, spiced honey sauce. - $26.95. My sister had this. The breast was very moist and tender but the leg was a little dry. It was nice to taste duck cooked in a different way than I am used to. I've only had duck Chinese style.

We were so excited to eat our food, we forgot to take a picture of my mom's dish. She had the pork chops. It came with two larger pieces. My mom said it was very tender and that she enjoyed the dish.

Desserts:

Profiterolles a la vanille - Puffs with vanilla ice cream topped with chocolate sauce and dried fruit. - $6.95

Tarte au chocolat - Chocolate tart with chantilly vanilla cream and praline sauce. - $6.95.

Salade de fruits infusee au the Earl Grey, sorbet mangue - fruit salad infused with Earl Grey tea syrup and served with mango sorbet - $6.95. This was a light and refreshing dessert. I could not taste the Earl Grey though. The mango sorbet had great mango flavor.

Cinnamon-Apple Crepe with Caramel Sauce. This was the BEST dessert that I had all trip. It was too die for. I think the picture speaks for itself

The meal of Chefs was one of the best of of the trip. I would definitely return. Especially for that crepe!

Great reviews! I agree with you about calamari, the ones with the legs are the best! I'm glad you enjoyed Chefs, I debated on changing our ADR but now I'm anxious to go! Thanks for posting!

 

[i3utterfli82]

[TigerKat]

Thanks for the Chefs review, I can't wait to go!!!!!

 

[taylorl25]

Great reviews. Chefs looks yummy and the sushi at Wolfgangs looks really good.

 

[DaniandRyan]

I love the pics from Chefs de France. I hope they still have that crepe when we go in January, it looks great!

 

[jayhjay]

Great reviews! Can I ask how the profiteroles were at Chefs? They are one of my all time favorite desserts and I almost never hear about people getting them on these boards. Thanks!

I only had a couple of bits, because my sister ate most of it. She liked it. She's a big chocolate lover, and loved the chocolate sauce that it came with. I remember it being tasty but not the best dessert I had on the trip. I hope this helps, my memory is a little foggy.

That escargot looks wonderful. I've never had them, but booked Chef's just so I can try them out. Were they good?

The escargot was really good. The snails reminded me of clams. The sauce that the snails were in was garlicly delicious. You should definitely try them.

Sunshine Seasons

We had a late lunch here. It was busy, but it did not take us long to find a seat. We were so hungry that I only took a picture of my dessert, an Asian spice cake. Its like a gingerbread cake with stronger spices. It was ok.

My sister and I shared the smoked ham and salami grinder. This sandwich is big enough to fill two people. It was delicious. I particularly liked that they put vinaigrette dressing in the sandwich to make it more tasty and moist. We also ordered a ceasar salad and a two item Asian platter. I don't remember them standing out. They were just average.

Le Cellier

For appetizers we had:

Prince Edward Island Mussels - Served "chowder" style with applewood smoked bacon and potatoes. - $9.99 . I can't say again how good this dish was. My dad said its like two meals in one, the mussels, and the soup. I don't usually care for mussels, but the chowder that they were in made them taste soo good. This is a must have.

Seared Rare Tuna - Served with watercress salad, house-made cracker, and wasabi foam. - $10.99. I didn't have any of this. But my mom said it was good.

Duck Two Ways - Duck confit and seared smoked duck breast with Chambord syrup. - $11.99. I think this was a better duck dish than the one my sister had in Chefs De France. The duck leg was tender, moist, and very tasty.

We also had a caesar salad, but I can't seem to find the picture of it. But from what I remember, it was just an average caesar salad.

I'll try to post the rest of Le Cellier soon! Thanks for reading.
