Chefs de France Menu Changes: What’s New and Gone

If Steak Frites was your order at the France pavilion, you need a new plan. The Chefs de France menu has been updated for fall 2026, adding three new entrées to both lunch and dinner while dropping three dishes, including that Steak Frites.

There’s also a quiet price increase on one appetizer, which is the kind of change that never gets announced but shows up on your check.

Here’s exactly what’s new, what’s gone, and what I’d order now.

Quick Summary

• Three new entrées added to both the lunch and dinner menus
• Filet de Boeuf, Sauce Au Poivre is the headline addition at $58.95
• Steak Frites is gone, along with two other dishes
• One price increase: the smoked salmon blinis appetizer went up $1
• All changes apply to both lunch and dinner

The Three New Entrées

All three were added to both the lunch and dinner menus:

• Filet de Boeuf, Sauce Au Poivre — $58.95. Filet mignon, bacon-wrapped asparagus, potato au gratin, and peppercorn sauce
• Le Croissant du Boucher — $29.95. Angus ground beef, alpine cheese, onion confit, and mustard aioli on a croissant bun
• Supreme de Poulet Rôti — $39.95. Roasted chicken supreme with a shallot and merlot vinegar reduction, served with potato purée

What These Changes Actually Do to the Menu

Look at the structure rather than the individual dishes and the strategy is obvious.

Steak Frites at $55.95 was the mid-to-high beef option. It’s been replaced by a filet mignon at $58.95, which is a higher-end cut at a higher price. The kitchen traded a bistro classic for a special-occasion plate.

At the other end, Le Croissant du Boucher at $29.95 is now the cheapest entrée on the list by a wide margin. A beef sandwich on a croissant bun is a smart addition to a menu where most entrées run $39 and up, especially at a pavilion full of guests who wandered in without a plan.

So the range widened in both directions. You can now eat here for under $30 or spend nearly $60 on a single plate.

What’s Gone

Three items were pulled from both the lunch and dinner menus:

• Jarret de Porc Braisé — $39.95. Braised heritage pork shank with lentil ragu and pearl onions
• Poulet au Vinaigre — $39.95. Airline chicken breast with a shallot and red vinegar sauce, tarragon, and potato purée
• Steak Frites — $55.95. Grilled strip loin, french fries, and béarnaise sauce

Steak Frites is the loss people will feel. It’s the dish most guests picture when they think of a French bistro, and it was one of the more recognizable orders on this menu for anyone who doesn’t speak the language of the rest of the card.

Note the chicken swap too. Poulet au Vinaigre came off at $39.95, and the new Supreme de Poulet Rôti went on at exactly $39.95 with a very similar shallot-and-vinegar treatment. That’s a reworked dish more than a removal.

The Price Increase

The Blinis de Saumon Fumé, Sauce à l’Aneth appetizer went from $18.95 to $19.95 on both the lunch and dinner menus.

A dollar isn’t going to change anyone’s trip. It’s worth noting only because appetizer creep is how a table service meal quietly moves from expensive to genuinely pricey. Two appetizers, two entrées, and a couple of glasses of wine at current prices puts a party of two near $200 before tip.

What I’d Order Now

A few honest picks depending on what you’re after.

If you want the best value: Le Croissant du Boucher at $29.95. It’s the only entrée under $30, and lunch at a table service restaurant in World Showcase for that price is rare.

If it’s a celebration: the Filet de Boeuf at $58.95. Bacon-wrapped asparagus and potato au gratin alongside filet mignon is a genuine steakhouse plate, and the setting does the rest.

If you want the safe middle: Supreme de Poulet Rôti at $39.95. Roast chicken with potato purée is hard to get wrong, and it’s the direct replacement for a dish that had its fans.

Planning Tips for Chefs de France

• Book ahead. France pavilion restaurants fill up fast during festival seasons, and EPCOT runs a festival most of the year
• Lunch is the better deal. The new entrées are on both menus at the same prices, so lunch gets you the same food in a calmer room
• Use it as a festival break. A sit-down meal with air conditioning in the middle of a Food and Wine day is worth more than another booth snack
• Check the menu when you arrive. Menus shift more often than Disney announces, and this update is a good example

The Bottom Line

The updated Chefs de France menu adds a $58.95 Filet de Boeuf, a $29.95 Croissant du Boucher, and a $39.95 Supreme de Poulet Rôti, while removing Steak Frites, Jarret de Porc Braisé, and Poulet au Vinaigre. The smoked salmon blinis appetizer is up a dollar to $19.95.

If you were coming for Steak Frites, the filet is the closest replacement and it costs $3 more. If you were looking for a reasonably priced World Showcase sit-down meal, the croissant sandwich just became one of the better options in the pavilion.

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who.

We’ll definitely be using him again.

We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions.  On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over.  He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip.  Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
