Monsieur Paul

"Monsieur Paul's is in the France pavilion at EPCOT. It's quite pricey, but in my estimation it is worth the price. The dishes are huge for fine dining. Our server, Florian, provided warm, knowledgeable, and friendly guidance throughout the meal. He was a delight! We ate at Victoria & Albert's, which was incredible, but honestly- this was just about as good (the escargot was every bit as good as anything we ate at V&A's), and a third the price. The ambiance is upscale without being stuffy. Watching the fireworks from our table was a treat. We will definitely return!"

"We were very impressed with our first visit to Monsieur Paul! It was closed due to COVID for a long time but recently reopened. We were not expecting such a great meal within the parks but we were wrong. This experience is right up there with Victoria & Alberts & Morimoto Asia’s Omakase. You may be surprised by this, but I’ll tell you why: *Price point- cheaper than both the above options! Comes to $200 per person & they have a couple different options for wine pairings that weren’t super expensive. The wine list has many reasonable pours as well. *The menu! It may not seem like as many courses as the others but trust mit is! They pace it out beautiful and it’s plenty of food! *The service & skill. Each plate was prepared with a daft hand, the servers (most from France), provide authenticity & knowledge of French cuisine. Our server was wonderful. Amuse bouche was a delicious tuna tartare (my favorite!) great bite to start the meal.First course we enjoyed the escargot & the lobster. The lobster salad with the passion fruit vinaigrette was excellent & a good portion of Fresh lobster. I wasn’t a fan of the mayonnaise type of carrot/pea veg with it but it didn’t ruin the dish. The escargot was different than traditional almost looking like a soup. However, this was excellent! We both weren’t expecting to enjoy it as much as we did. Next we had the sea bass in puff pastry monsieur Paul style & the scallops. We love scallops and they were cooked perfectly. The dish was colorful & presented nicely. The house speciality sea bass was everything you want it to be. Great presentation & perfectly cooked puff pastry. Sauce Choron great as well. Do not skip this dish! Lovely palate cleanser of sorbet and then the meat course. We opted for the lamb & filet. Both cooked perfectly & portions just right. I was preferential to the lamb my husband loved the filet. Both had robust sauces. Cheese plate my favorite course of the meal. Each cheese served the perfect temperature & had exceptional flavors. I loved the blue cheese, wrote it down, and purchased it from a store in Boston. The little jar they serve is a great touch also. For dessert I had the signature chocolate & my husband had the apple. Both of these were excellent. The chocolate was so rich & a fun presentation. No negative points for dessert we only wish we had more room. The cons about Monsieur Paul is that it’s located in the park so it is a little bit of a pain to get to. It also makes it difficult to bring leftovers home. They also only take reservations between 6-7pm. I understand this as it’s a 3 hour dining experience but it would be nice if there was some variety in timing so you can also squeeze in park time. All & all the beverages as well as the food were top tier and we would absolutely return. Exceeded expectations!"

"This is a very good French restaurant located on the backside of the French Pavilion inside of Epcot. So you must have a park ticket or annual pass to be able to dine here. Reservations are a must, there are no walk ins as it’s always booked out in advance. However, you might get lucky and be able to reserve a last minute table. We had a lovely 7 course dinner here. It’s $200 per person + $100 wine pairing so not cheap. The portion sizes were large French fine dining. Definitely worth coming here if you can swing it."

"Wonderful courses paired with excellent wines. Our server, Iris was outstanding. They moved the two of us to the side window so we could sit and watch the fireworks in Epcot during the dessert course. Chef came out briefly and it was fun getting to talk with him. Highly recommend the Prix. It is a lot of food, so eat sparingly throughout."
