Parisian Breakfast Buffet Returns to Chefs de France for the 2025 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival

Reading Time: 4 minutes

The Parisian Breakfast buffet is coming back to Chefs de France at EPCOT, and if you caught it last year, you already know why this is worth planning around. The pre-paid breakfast experience returns on Fridays and Saturdays starting August 28, 2026, running during the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival.

Booking details go live on July 16, 2026, so you have some time to plan, but not unlimited time once reservations open given how limited this experience runs.

Quick Summary

• The Parisian Breakfast buffet returns to Chefs de France starting August 28, 2026
• It runs Fridays and Saturdays only during the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival
• Booking opens July 16, 2026
• The buffet includes French pastries, baguettes, cheeses, charcuterie, smoked salmon, and fresh fruit
• 2025 pricing was $64.95 per person with unlimited mimosas, juice, and coffee included

What’s on the Parisian Breakfast Menu

The buffet includes a spread of French breakfast staples:

• Assorted French pastries — buttery croissants, pain au chocolat, almond croissants, and more
• Freshly baked baguettes — served warm, ideal with creamy butter or French jams
• Cheeses and charcuterie — a selection of premium cheeses and artisanal cured meats
• Smoked salmon — delicate slices, great paired with fresh bread or a squeeze of lemon
• Fresh fruit — seasonal options to balance the richer dishes
• Beverages — your choice of drink included

How Much Does It Cost?

Pricing for 2026 hasn’t been announced yet. In 2025, the experience was $64.95 per person and included unlimited French champagne mimosas, along with fruit juices and freshly brewed coffee. Expect something similar this year, but check back on July 16 when booking opens for confirmed pricing.

How to Book the Parisian Breakfast Buffet

This is a limited-time, pre-paid experience. Booking opens July 16, 2026. Check the Chefs de France page on the Disney World dining site for reservation details once they go live.

The breakfast runs Fridays and Saturdays only, so availability will be limited. If last year’s pricing and the unlimited mimosa pairing carry over, expect this to book up fast among EPCOT Food & Wine Festival regulars.

Is the Parisian Breakfast Buffet Worth It?

If you’re already planning an EPCOT Food & Wine Festival trip and you love French pastries, cheese, and charcuterie, this buffet is an easy yes, especially with unlimited mimosas likely back on the menu. Pair it with an early morning at EPCOT before the festival booths get crowded, and you’ve got a strong start to the day.

Why This Buffet Sells Out Fast

Pre-paid, limited-day experiences like this one tend to move quickly once booking opens, especially when unlimited mimosas are part of the deal. Chefs de France already has a strong reputation at EPCOT, and pairing that with a festival-exclusive breakfast format on just two days a week creates real scarcity. If last year’s experience sold out the way similar EPCOT festival add-ons typically do, waiting even a few days after the July 16 booking date could mean missing out entirely.

Because this only runs Fridays and Saturdays, the total number of available dates across the whole festival run is relatively small. That’s a sharp contrast to something like the Eat to the Beat Concert Series, which runs nightly, and it’s part of why this buffet tends to generate more urgency among festival regulars.

What to Expect at Chefs de France Beyond Breakfast

If you can’t snag a Parisian Breakfast reservation, Chefs de France still operates its regular lunch and dinner menu throughout the festival, featuring French classics like French onion soup, escargot, and coq au vin. It’s worth keeping as a backup dinner option in the France Pavilion even if the breakfast buffet doesn’t work out for your dates.

Booking Tips for July 16

Set a reminder for the morning booking opens, since festival add-ons like this one tend to move fastest in the first few hours. Have your preferred dates ready, including a backup Friday or Saturday in case your first choice is already gone by the time you get through to book.

Cancellation policies for pre-paid festival experiences also tend to run stricter than standard dining reservations, so read the fine print closely when you book on July 16, especially around refund windows if your plans change closer to your August or September date.

Final Thoughts on the Parisian Breakfast Buffet’s Return

The Parisian Breakfast buffet at Chefs de France is one of the better pre-paid dining experiences during the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, and its return for 2026 gives you another reason to build a Friday or Saturday morning around the France Pavilion. Mark July 16 on your calendar for booking and pricing details.
