Remy at Chefs hours?

[Melani]

What times will Remy be making an appearance at Le Chefs?

I had to change my date & the CM didn't know anything about Remy.

This is from allears:

Les Chefs de France restaurant As of March 9, guests who dine are being treated to a unique kind of entertainment, allowing them to meet the culinary rat Remy, from the movie Ratatouille. Remy is an Audio-Animatronics puppet who, along with the restaurant maitre d' (a comedic actor), engages guests by performing a series of humorous, theatrical vignettes, using a moving food cart with a silver-domed cheese platter as their stage. Remy can make a variety of noises and comes across as a living, breathing little character with a point of view all his own. The Remy Cart was conceived by WDI Research & Development with support from WDI Creative Entertainment. Remy can be seen 12:30 - 6 p.m. at Les Chefs de France through September 5, 2009. (Remy can also be seen at Disneyland Paris where he's been entertaining guests since last summer.)

I get the impression you aren't thrilled at the idea of seeing Remy!

We've eaten there a couple of times since the Remy thing started, and it definitely isn't like a character meal. Every hour or hour and a half, the Maitre d' circles the restaurant with the cart. He pauses briefly by each group of tables. Then he takes the dome off the cart and you can see Remy. They speak to each table very briefly then they go on to the next group of tables. It isn't at all raucous or distracting like the character meals. Once they leave your table you aren't likely to notice them again. So if you have a rodent phobia then it might be a problem but if you just are wanting to enjoy your meal in peace without characters then I don't think Remy will interfere with that too much.

On the other hand, anyone who goes there expecting a Remy character meal will be very disappointed. If I was taking someone to lunch there who I thought was a Remy fan, I wouldn't mention seeing him at all - I'd let it be a surprise. If you are expecting lots of interaction with the character then I don't think you will be satisfied by the amount of time you interact with Remy. We were there for a little over an hour each time and spent a couple of minutes interacting with the Maitre d' and Remy.

Personally, I thought it was really cute and well done. The Maitre d' was funny and Remy was surprisingly believable (though no one would ever think he was a real rat - he looks just like the character from the movie). It was a nice extra touch to the restaurant, but certainly not the focus of the meal.

Most likely I would have never gone to Chefs for a meal, but now, I am going! I have got to see Remy. He's so cute.
