407-599-2929 | | | | | Description: WINTER PARK. An intimate bistro set in Hannibal Square, this charming place courts diners with classic, if not unusual, dishes and a handful of inventive choices. Although not everyone adores escargot or frog's legs, most will take pleasure in lamb, venison, or salmon. Entrees generally come with a rich sauce that enhances but doesn't overpower the flavor of the meat; examples include cherries and port wine or cream and vermouth. Taking this idea to its next level are signature plates which feature several different meat selections, each accompanied by a particular sauce. For a special treat, try the rich, creamy mashed potatoes. Reservations recommended. Business dressy attire.

407-939-3463 | | | | | Description: EPCOT ®. Modeled after a turn-of-the-century Parisian brasserie, this restaurant succeeds under the tutelage of three French chefs. A classic in the Disney fold, Les Chefs delivers reliable, if not overly innovative, cuisine that more than fits the bill for eager patrons. And in the tradition of the brasserie, it works. Escargot, pates, and beef burgundy answer the call for familiar favorites; grilled salmon, Mediterranean seafood casserole, and coq au vin also deliver the goods. Desserts include crème brûlée, soufflés, and pastries. If you're in the mood for something more formal, the upstairs venue offers more upscale food at commensurate prices. Smart casual dress.
