Monsieur Paul

Tried this restaurant for the first time and really enjoyed it. Pro's: Top notch service from all staff. Can tell they put excellence into customer service. Lots of the food was very delicious. Con's: it's a lot of food, so be prepared! It's very expensive. Food comes fast so not a ton of time in between to rest.

This restaurant (inside the France Pavillon at Epcot) has a true French vibe to it. We had dinner upstairs overlooking the lake. The menu is a set menu where you can choose the different courses from a selection of three. I had the Lobster Salad, the Snapper, Beef Tenderloin and the Apple Tart. It's plenty of food spaced out. Also in typical French fashion this dinner lasts over 2 hours. The food was deliciously prepared, fresh and with a really nice taste. Paired with a good wine, this is truly a delight. We had an incredible French server named Alexis. He was extremely attentive and contributed a lot to the experience.Now, all of this does not come cheap. Prepared for this to be well over $200 per person with wine. But in return, you're getting an incredible meal experience with a beautiful view, especially at 9 PM when the fireworks happen.

We went here to celebrate our anniversary. We had a fantastic time! The staff were very friendly, knowledgeable & made us feel like we were old friends.Yes, this place is expensive. But it's an experience & you will not leave hungry, it's an 8 course pre-fixed meal. At the time of writing this it was $195 per person. You get a glass of champagne & 2 smaller alcoholic beverages. There's an option to add on a wine pairing or there are other options. Very happy we got to experience this!

This review will come with a disclaimer, but more about that later. This place has an upscale dining feel, with accommodating servers who make you feel comfortable and taken care of, even if you're more of a pizza-chomper like me. Eating here is an experience, the dishes are well-crafted, delicious and pretty. You'd start with champagne and amuse-bouche, appetizer, fish dish, intermezzo of brandy over sorbet, meat dish, cheese platter, then dessert (and yummy bread offerings in between!). Our server Romain was knowledgeable, sharing information on our food, wine, French dining customs, and interesting tidbits. It's pricey, but worth the experience.My favorite dish of the evening was the escargot, recommended by our server, the snails were hidden underneath beautiful green soup that's really delicious.Disclaimer:This place only has prix fixe menu currently, it's not cheap, expect to spend at least $200+/person. Arrive hungry, you'd get at least 6 main dishes here, even though some of them have small portions, you'd be full!Expect to spend at least 2.5 hours here, you'd want to plan your park visit accordingly. We were seated by the window overlooking the lake, might be nice to watch the 9pm fireworks from this place!Hold off on ordering more alcoholic drinks than provided, save some room for the brandy-soaked sorbet in the middle! It's pretty strong but really good. They will totally accommodate any of your drink requests tho.

This was, without question, the most spectacularly expensive and elegant meal I have ever had at a theme park. And it was also one of the best meals of the trip! Arriving at Monsieur Paul is entering another world--you are no longer at Epcot or in Florida; you are in this in-between, an unidentifiable location where a bunch of French people decided to bless you with their cuisine. Our maître d' was very aware of every table, and our waiter, Romain, was a delight. We appreciated Romain's attention to traditional formal service with a light-hearted wink and sense of humor. We decided that if we were going to indulge, we would go all in, so we went with both the caviar service supplement and the premier wine pairing. Everything was very well executed, from the first bite to the last. They even put up with my partner's urgency to see the fireworks by speeding up our service toward the end of the meal. This is definitely an indulgence, but worth it at least once.

Covid 19 shut them down for too long, but finally one of my favorite restaurants in Orlando has reopened. Sadly, it's not one of my favorite restaurants any more. They have a limited menu in the pre-fixe format so if you're kind of limited on the options. I will say I preferred the open menu they previously had.Service was good, but a tad slow. I think we dined on their 3rd day of re-opening and we arrived shortly after 6p and left shortly after 9p. This meal should not have taken 3 hours. We started off with champagne then had some pear brandy with ice cream as an interlude. We also got one "wine option" and shared. Nothing was wow-your-socks-off good, and I have no idea what I was drinking. There could have been a presentation by showing the bottle and explaining why the wine went with the dish, but that didn't happen here. Big miss!The food was all excellent with the exception of the desserts, which were good, but not excellent. Everything from the amuse bouche of tuna tar-tar to the soup and lobster "salad" (salad is a loose interpretation of what it was) to the fish course to the meat course was all spectacular. The lamb was the most tender I've ever had and the filet was cooked to a perfect medium-rare, which rarely happens these days.The bread service was a little odd and some pieces were SUPER hard to the point it was hard to eat. I like by bread crusty as much as anyone, but not to the point of having it hurt your gums when you eat it. It was used to slather up every morsel of sauce from the various plates.There's not a good way to say this, and I can't confirm it's because of this place, but I spent 2 days in the bathroom after eating here. I doubt it was somewhere else that caused it, but it's a possiblilty.We enjoyed it, but due to the lack of options, it's not somewhere we can go regularly. And with the $200 price tag per person, I can see it being a challenge to keep up this pre-fixe style. Mind you, this is a restaurant at a Theme Park, so the audience is people at EPCOT. They do have a dress code, but like most places at the parks, it didn't seem to be enforced. Kudos to the staff, the presentation of the food, the managers, and everyone else working in this restaurant.It's sad to go from my favorite restaurant in Orlando, to a 3 star experience. Unless the pre-fixe changes to something really enticing, I can say I probably won't plan on returning.

1/8/25 the finest restaurant at WDW- in my experience exceeds the two Michelin three-stars in France at which I've dined.The maitre d' Philippe very knowledgeable and professional- has been there 25 years. This has the ambiance of all great Parisian restaurants with Epcot just outside.A prix fix menu- the standouts: the cassoulet escargot, the scallops, and .... a fifteen out of ten: the Vacherin.This place is for a grand splurge- anniversary, birthday-

Let me start my review by saying that this place is EXTREMELY friendly and delicious!! The service that my partner and I received was beyond fantastic, The selection of wines on the pairing menus are absolutely divine and compliment the food perfectly. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very elegant yet not too overbearing on the eyes. The food we ordered was absolutely beyond my expectation, Everything was cooked to perfection I will never forget my time here as everything and everyone was just so lovely. I will surely return! Worth every penny spent!

This was so good. I honestly did not know what to expect from a restaurant like this within Disney, but expectations were far exceeded. Everything was perfect. Our server Arthur was a pleasure to spend the evening with. Started with the lobster salad and escargot. Presentation of the lobster salad was excellent. Escargot includes a small flower from Epcot's best - worst attraction 'Living With The Land' so it's an automatic winner. Besides that, it tasted amazing. The fish course... I can not speak highly enough about the sea bass. Served in essentially what is a croissant, I could eat this every day. The sauce Choron puts it even further over-the-top. The seared scallops in maple pumpkin were excellent, but get the sea bass. The palate cleanser involves a pear in a bottle... pear brandy.... An unexpected delight Rack of lamb... perfectAnd then, the chocolate desert. Such a joy to finish dinner with. They turn over the tables by the window so the earliest (5pm) and latest (7:15?)reservations get those seats.

Our party of 4 went to Monsieur Paul in EPCOT. It was an exceptional 5 course dinner menu. The portions were very good size and we even had to take the final course is ato-go container as there was to much food. The serving staff lead by Beniot P was very attentive but not intrusive. As the food was served he took the time to explain some details about the food and the wine. This will be our go-to location for special occasions, Very highly recommend.
