A Disney World of Eating: A Personal Favorite

Hello, again! I hope that I didn’t completely bore you with my last review of 50s Prime Time Cafe. If I did, I guess it’s too bad, because I’m back again with another review. This one is a personal favorite of mine, so you’ll just have to bear with me.

I know that I told you last time that one of the biggest draws for me is the food at Disney World. I absolutely love it! And my waistband can attest to that! One of the most important reservations for me to make in that first planning stage is Le Cellier. I have always found it to be one of the hardest to make, and it is crucial to me that we visit on each trip. It is usually my favorite place for dinner, but with the new addition of two credits on the dining plan for dinner, I decided to try it for lunch. Last summer, it was only one credit to eat lunch, but two for dinner, so it was really a no brainer for me.

I have talked to many people about their favorite places to eat in the World. Most people that I talk to share a fondness for Le Cellier, but I have also heard quite a few people tell me that it has gone down in quality or experience in recent years. I have met many people who are not as impressed with it. I, however, have not experienced that at all. I feel that it is still just as delicious. In fact, my mouth is watering just thinking of it!

I know, you’re wondering if I’m just going to keep talking or if I’m going to get to the good stuff, the pictures! All right, all right! First off, I love the walk down to Le Cellier. It is simply gorgeous. From the detailed architecture to the beautiful blossoms, it is definitely jaw-dropping.

There is a check in right under the sign, or sometimes if it’s busy, there may be one at the top before you enter the garden. I always feel sorry for the people who are trying to see if there is any walk up availability. It seems there rarely is.

I also love the interior of Le Cellier. I have heard complaints that the tables are too close together, or that it is too dark. It’s a popular restaurant, so if they need to move the tables close together, then I guess that’s okay. We have been squeezed in one of the center tables before, but we have also been lucky on the last few times to get one of the booths. It doesn’t feel so close in a booth, even though there are still tables right next to you.

We were here on my birthday last year. What a way to celebrate! I always love the filet mignon with the cream cheese mashed potatoes. I mean, seriously, my mouth is watering right now just thinking about it! We always start with the bread. I love the pretzel bread, but the kids love the sourdough. Either way, it’s delicious. This time I decided to try to the cheese soup. It was my birthday after all, what is a few extra calories, right? Sorry for the fuzzy pictures, but it’s pretty dark in there and I didn’t have a good lens on, you get the idea though.

It was pretty good. The beer added just the right amount of flavor to it. I’m not a huge bacon fan, but it tasted yummy. I was starting to feel full at this point, but I was nowhere near done. My entree arrived, and I found some room in my stomach once again.

I have tried the chocolate moose for dessert. It is much better looking than it tastes. My absolute favorite dessert here is the creme brulee. It is to die for! Really, the perfect end to a fabulous meal.

And here’s me being completely in love with my dessert. I know, complete nerd!!

Well, that’s about it. My dinner is done, although I’m still hungry. Funny, huh? I hope that if you have never tried Le Cellier that you will at least try it once. Or maybe I should hope that you don’t try it so that there will be more reservations for me… Either way, bon appetit!

LeCellier is my FAV place to eat, not just at Disney, but anywhere. I always have a hard time getting an ADR, though I’ve heard it’s easier since they changed the rules and make you give a credit card number (and I was able to get it on my first try for my trip later this month.) I DID luck out and get a walk up during food & wine in November, we felt like we hit the jackpot, lol! I always ask, never expecting a yes, but it never hurts to ask. I’ve seen lots of people turned away, but I’ve also seen several people taken in.
 
I’ve never had a bad meal there (even when I was REALLY sick & could only eat 2 bites, but it was my bday, so I still went. ;)) I sometimes feel those who say it isn’t as good are just saying that so it’ll be easier to get an ADR there. My fav is the pretzel bread (omg, I would go there just for that!), mushroom filet, and the creme brulee. I didn’t try the cheese soup until food & wine (in the Canada booth), and it was really good! And I’m not even a soup OR cheese person, lol.
 
Sorry for hijacking your food review, Jenn!!
