French Ambiance

For those of you who think we did nothing on this trip but eat...you might be right. However, we did ride rides and see shows and host of other things. We just happened to take a lot of pictures of the restaurants because that's where we had the most fun.

Above, I'm holding my dinner at the French Bistro in Epcot. The portions may look small (and they are) but this is the fourth course of a 5 course meal. Before the main dish, there was fish, salad, soup and some yummy chocolate drink. The best part about dining french is that nothing ever feels overwhelming--it's all bits and tastes and not a slab of meat the size of my head. That's very refreshing. And it makes for a far more enjoyable and diverse meal.

One of the fun parts about this meal was that we ordered a bottle of Evian water by mistake. Our waiter, who was from France and had a very thick accent, asked if we wanted water that was sparkling or still. I said still and he brought out the Evian which surprised me because I just expected water from a pitcher. In any case, this is the greatest water I've ever had. Smooth and clean, I never knew water could be so awesome. However, I couldn't drink as much as I normally did when we sat down to eat (I was downing between 5-7 glasses of water per meal per day because of the heat) but man, was the water good.

Here's the view from our seat. It looks out across the lake that sits in the middle of Epcot. If you look closely, you can see a bit of the huge ball in the background.

As a fun side note, our waiter was astounded when we didn't want any wine and we told him that we didn't drink. He asked where we were from and we said Utah, and he said: "Oh! You're Mormon!" But say that with a French accent. It's a lot more fun. We've been saying "Mormon" with a French accent since!
