| Welcome to Le Cellier |
Before Be Our Guest opened, reservations at Le Cellier were
easily the most sought after reservations in the entire World…Walt Disney
World, that is. Still one of the
most popular restaurants in Walt Disney World, Le Cellier is located in the Canada
Pavilion at Epcot’s World Showcase.
Chances are if you have never eaten there, you have most
likely heard of Le Cellier. I
first heard about Le Cellier while looking up restaurant reviews on the
internet and I decided that I needed to try this highly praised
restaurant. Advance reservations
are always recommended for table service restaurants but this is the restaurant where it is essential to get a
reservation at that 180-day mark.
I was lucky enough to nab a reservation and experience my first meal at
Le Cellier in 2010.

| Le Cellier Bread |
Perhaps my favorite thing about Le Cellier is the
bread. The pretzel bread is just about the
most wonderful thing I have ever eaten.
I love bread and I love pretzels so when you combine those two things,
it makes for glorious results. On
a recent trip to Le Cellier, our server described the bread as being like the
bread in Panem from the Hunger Games. Each piece of bread represents a different region of
Canada. I thought that was a
pretty awesome analogy.

| Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup |
Le Cellier now has an all-day menu so you have the same
options for lunch and dinner.
Sadly, with the change to an all-day menu, Le Cellier got rid of two of
my family’s favorite dishes; the burger and the spicy chicken and chipotle
sausage appetizer. The burger was
absolutely delicious and I am beyond sad to see it go. Luckily, my next favorite item on the
menu, the Canadian Cheddar Cheese soup, is still available. It is so tasty and it tastes even
better when you dip some of the pretzel bread in the soup. I’m getting hungry just thinking about
it. My husband and I love the soup
so much, we actually make it at home thanks to our purchase of a Walt Disney
World cookbook that contains the recipe.

| "Le Cellier" Mushroom Filet Mignon |
Another highlight of the menu is the “Le Cellier” Mushroom
Filet Mignon. It’s one of the
tastiest steaks in Walt Disney World but it doesn’t have my number one
spot. For that, see my review of Narcoossee’s. Despite not being my
favorite steak on property, it is still a really darn good one that I would happily
enjoy eating.

| Gardens outside of Le Cellier |
The restaurant is located in the cellar of the château so
don’t plan on watching IllumiNations from the restaurant. I actually prefer eating at Le Cellier
for lunch because you get to enjoy the beautiful gardens outside the restaurant. When you eat there after sunset, it
just isn’t as pretty walking up to the restaurant. Of course the ambiance inside the restaurant is the same day
or night but the gardens just make it so much quainter.

| Le Cellier Dining Room |
Le Cellier is now a Signature Dining restaurant, which means that it is now 2 credits on the Disney Dining and Deluxe Dining plans. Before the switch to Signature Dining, I thought the value of Le Cellier on the dining plan was very good but I am now sad to say that I don’t think it’s worth it to use 2 credits. I know, it may sound crazy to all of the Le Cellier fans out there but there are just so many other great Signature restaurants that are a better value for those 2 credits.
Le Cellier certainly lived up to the hype but with recent
changes to the menu and becoming a Signature Dining restaurant, I don’t know
that I will be dining there as often as I used to. It’s hard to see favorites missing from the menu. I still think Le Cellier is worth a
visit, I would just recommend paying for this one out of pocket and saving your dining credits for another meal.
