French and Fine/Signature Dining
Gourmet Dining, Magical Surroundings
Delight in the culture and flavors of France that renowned chef Paul Bocuse has shared with the world for decades.
Formerly Bistro de Paris restaurant in EPCOT, Monsieur Paul is located just upstairs from Les Chefs de France, the French Brasserie in the France Pavilion.
Here, you’ll discover a focused wine list, inventive twists on traditional French dinner and breathtaking views of World Showcase. This is the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion or simply savor delectable cuisine in a serene setting.
The Menu
The new prix fixe menu offers a gastronomic meal––one in which people devote themselves to the art of “eating and drinking well.”
Very popular with the French and deeply familiar to them, the gastronomic meal has developed over centuries, constantly evolving, and has been passed down from generation to generation. The meal entails rites which include the search for good seasonal and local products, references to a codified repertoire of recipes, culinary skills, the setting of a beautiful table, the succession of courses and the pairing of dishes with wine.
The gastronomic meal of the French was inscribed on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2010.
The Ambiance
Enjoy an elegant-yet-relaxed approach to French dining.
The décor in this restaurant presents classic French architecture with bright colors and a touch of modern design. If a window-side table becomes available when you arrive, you’ll enjoy a unique vantage of EPCOT.
The Bocuse Connection
Chef Bocuse first opened Les Chefs de France at EPCOT in 1982—it was the first Bocuse-affiliated restaurant in America. His son, Jerome Bocuse, owns the company behind Monsieur Paul.
Named Best French Craftsman in 1961 and Chef of the Century in 2011 by the Culinary Institute of America, Chef Bocuse has achieved extraordinary culinary honors throughout his career. He achieved 3 Michelin stars for 53 straight years at his famous Lyon restaurant, Auberge du Pont de Collonges.
And at Monsieur Paul, you can enjoy the classic culinary stylings of Chef Bocuse amid all the magic of EPCOT.
