What it is

Les Chefs de France is the bright, glassed-in brasserie at the front of the France pavilion, with big windows onto the promenade and a room that looks like a Paris corner restaurant with the volume turned up. It has been open since the park's early years and was established with the involvement of a group of well-known French chefs.

The menu is brasserie classics: gratinéed onion soup, escargots, duck confit, steak frites, a quiche, and profiteroles for dessert. None of it is inventive and none of it needs to be. The onion soup and the profiteroles are the two dishes regulars order without reading the menu.

Service moves faster than most World Showcase table service, which makes it a workable lunch if you have a schedule. The room is loud and bright rather than romantic — if you want the quiet French dinner, La Crêperie next door is closer to it.

Our verdict

Reliable brasserie cooking rather than a revelation, but the onion soup and profiteroles are worth the booking and the room is genuinely pleasant at lunch.

What to order

The dishes this kitchen is actually known for. Menus change seasonally, so treat this as what to look for rather than a guaranteed list.

  • Gratinéed onion soup
  • Duck confit
  • Steak frites
  • Profiteroles

Tips for Les Chefs de France

  • Order the onion soup even if it is ninety-five degrees outside. It is the single best thing this kitchen makes and skipping it is the most common regret here.
  • Lunch is materially cheaper than dinner for a near-identical menu and the room is quieter before 1 PM.
  • Ask for a window table on the promenade side. You get people-watching across the pavilion and better light than the interior tables.
  • Profiteroles are large enough for two. Order one dessert per couple rather than one each.
  • The kiosk outside the restaurant pours the orange slush with Grand Marnier that people cross the park for. Get one before or after rather than ordering a cocktail inside.

Gratinéed Onion Soup

Les Chefs de France

$14

Caramelized onion broth in a crock under a raft of bread and melted Gruyère, browned under the salamander before it goes out.

Our take: The best thing this kitchen makes and the dish people regret skipping. Order it in August anyway — the room is cold enough that it works.

Les Chefs de France: common questions

Is Les Chefs de France a signature restaurant?

No, it operates as a standard table-service brasserie rather than a signature-tier restaurant. Dress is casual and the pace is faster than a fine-dining meal.

What should I order at Les Chefs de France?

The gratinéed onion soup and the profiteroles are the two dishes regulars order every time. Duck confit and steak frites are the strongest mains.

Is it good for kids?

Yes. The room is loud enough that nobody notices a restless child, there is a children's menu, and the pace is quick by table-service standards.

How is it different from La Crêperie de Paris?

Chefs de France is a bright, busy brasserie with classic French entrees. La Crêperie behind it is quieter, cheaper, and built around buckwheat galettes and sweet crêpes.
