The great secret in the France pavilion—and, indeed, in all of Epcot—is the Bistro de Paris, upstairs from Les Chefs de France. The sophisticated menu changes regularly and reflects the cutting edge of French cooking; representative dishes include pan-seared lobster, roasted rack of venison with black-pepper sauce, and seared scallops with truffle-potato puree. An excellent appetizer is the Escargot and Mushroom Cassolette with parsley butter, frog leg fritters, and watercress veloute. If eating cooked snails isn't your thing, go for the Country Style Meat Plate, which includes homemade pâté, beef croquette, duck rillette, and smoked duck magret. Save room for the Grand Marnier flambéed crepes. Come late, ask for a window seat, and plan to linger to watch the nightly Epcot light show, which usually starts around 9 PM. Moderately priced French wines are available by the bottle and the glass. If you like French cuisine but don't know much about it, the six-course, prix-fixe meal, $75 per person without wine, or $120 with wine parings, is a good way to go.

We've had many memoriable times there. Good escargot and desserts! Waiters were very friendly and fun to talk to.
