Chef de France or Grazing at F&W Marketplace Booths

[Alpha Jeanie]

My husband and I have a choice of going to eat at Chefs de France or having that time to graze at the Food & Wine Festival Marketplace booths. That will be our only time to sample any of the food from all the marketplaces. From your experience, what would you choose to do. I think that I am leaning towards canceling our Chefs de France ADR's and just eating at the Marketplaces for our dinner that night.

I appreciate any feedback.

Yea, only 8 more days until we are at Disney!!

I personally would go with grazing.

If you are only spending one day in Epcot, especially one day during the Food and Wine Festival...I would graze!

F&W Festival - definitely. Chefs deFrance is over-rated. Be sure to try the cheese soup at France's cart.

Look at it this way too...Chefs deFrance is there year round. F&W Festival is a limited event that is only there once a year. I would go with the Marketplace booths. That's how our family always eats dinner when we are there during the F&W Festival. It is fun walking around the World Showcase and trying the different varieties of food.

A comment before me mentioned the cheese soup at France. I'm pretty certain that they may have meant cheese soup at Canada. I could be wrong, but the only soups I remember are potato soup in Ireland and cheese soup in Canada. France did have a booth with food samples though. So maybe you can "have your cake and eat it too!":mickey::chef::wine:

We elected to do the grazing. we plan to go there 3 of our 4 days in the parks, just to eat and shop. Of course this trip is b/c of the F&W and Intercot meet!

1) Grazing !
2) Just don't graze on the weekends.
3) There are so many locals and long lines.
4) Your grazing may keep you starved.

As someone who doesn't care for Chefs de France, the decision is easy for me but McGoofy is right, you can go to the regular restaurants any trip.
