Just seen the new menu and prices for the new Chez remy restaurant, is it me are they very boring. I thought there would have been a bit more choice than only 1 starter and 3 main meals to choose from ? For such a new fantastic ride and new attraction within the studios I am really surprised that the menu options are very poor.

I'm in mixed minds about it, I'd probably weigh up going there or to Silver Spur for an evening meal as its similar food but I would have preferred to see more options for starters. I know the trick with this is its mass produced food for a quick turnover so choices have t be limited but still an extra starter wouldn't go a miss.
It is quite simple but if they are aiming for a 45 min turn around for people then limiting menu options means they dont have so much to prepare.
The restaurant is so well themed even though its not the most exciting menu around I will probably still give it a go.
I don't like the sound of the starter or main courses but love the sound of the desserts - so I might go and just have 2 desserts ;)

That's what we are planning on doing when we go in Feb. The desserts are the best thing on the menu.
wonder if its going to be on meal plan????
I really can't see us going in for a meal. 1 salad starter, beef, fish or veggie mains - and that's almost €30!!. I think it's bloody scandalous. Dear god, how much GP do DLP want to make on a meal??. I really hope that's not the finalized menu.

I agree - there's very little choice and it's way too expensive. When I go to DLP in September I'll be going on the ride but will definitely not be going in the restaurant.

Agreed
I suspect TPTB think that everyone will be so excited about the ride, they'll have to eat in the restaurant no matter what the choice and price. If that's the case then they're very mistaken! Some people might but I suspect a lot of us won't.

Meal Plan Plus I think!
Returning to the main topic, I do not really mind about the food. Since we always go on meal plan (and going to the Studios means either paying the extra for Restaurant des Stars or eating in Blockbuster and saving the vouchers for dining at Disneyland Park), we'll try this one out. I also wonder if those limited options are just test plates for now, and that the real deal will have more choices, although we'll stick with whatever they offer, I guess.
I'll be stunned if that's it, I've never seen a restaurant (and I've worked in a few) with a single salad starter.
Since they're planning on a 45 minute turnaround I suspect the menu will stay very limited so there won't be so much different food to prepare - it'll just be lots of the same things. I don't like the sound of the starter and the main courses so I'll definitely be avoiding it.
Well, personally I think it sounds delicious, so can't wait to try it! Though I'll admit with those prices we probably won't be going too regularly!
I think I will try it for dinner ones night on my next visit. The photos of the location make it a must visit for me
Same here! We`ll try it when we go this fall!

Pity, it won't be possible to pick just the desserts or the main course, you have to pick one type of the selected menues. :(
Here's the Bistrot Chez Rémy menu for those looking: http://www.dlpguide.com/planning/dining/restaurant-menus/bistrot-chez-remy/
(http://www.dlptoday.com/images/2014/06/20140621_ratlive_69.jpg)
I'm hoping to eat there tomorrow ;D
For us it won't be a must to go to the restaurant in September. ::)

Nor me. I see from the menu that's been posted in the DLP menus section that they do a la carte so I could just have a dessert - but at 7.99 Euros I'm not going to! I don't like spending a lot of money on food when I'm on holiday - when I last came to DLP I ate at relatively cheap places like Cowboy Cookout Barbeque. Tasty, filling food which doesn't break the bank. I've checked the cost of the dining plans and weighing it against how much I'd spend on individual meals it works out cheaper for me to buy meals individually than using a dining plan.
Hubby being a chef and Ratatouille being his favourite film, wants to eat here, so hoping to make a reservation for lunch one day next Feb.
I guess Chez Rémy wont be open for diner? We would like to do that next week but the parc closes at 6 pm. So you only can have diner when you go early and the restaurant closes when the parc closes?
I've got a lunch reservation at Chez Rémy for next Monday, looking forward to it.
The photos I've seen indicate a great theme and hopefully a nice atmosphere.
The menu is a bit limited, but if the quality is there I don't really mind. :)
It's all stuff I like any way.
We tried Chez Remy last Sunday. The food was exceptional, the best cooked fillet I've ever eaten, and the desserts are to die for!

That sounds very promising :D Looking forward to it even more now. ;D
We ate at Chez Remy on Thursday lunchtime and it was AMAZING!! I would say it was the best meal we ate while in Disney. Those saying the salad is boring, that's what I thought too but the dressing was delicious and I finished the lot which is unusual for me as I don't really like green salads, the steak was melt in the mouth and the tiramisu divine!! My daughter had the kids menu, her dessert was so well presented for a kids meal. Cant wait to go back again just so we can eat there again!
Only thing that I would say was the service wasn't the speediest but it was excellent!

Unfortunately I missed out on a visit to Chez Rémy, as I managed to send myself to the hospital ~30 minutes before I had a reservation to have lunch there. The remaining days I had a pretty busy agenda and prior reservations, so I couldn't reschedule the visit. Guess I'll need to wait until my next visit. ;D

I've only seen the one, a chain of French steakhouses in London.
We had lunch there on september 17th. And i think i never had a better meal. Really really good! And fast and friendly service. Would recomment it for sure!

Thank you for your concern Jeakat, I am quite al right now. ;D
Well, it's €40 for adults, €17 for kids, which is fairly expensive, and has a limited selection of food available.
However from what I've heard the food is very well prepared and rather tasty, the main question then becomes, does anything strike your fancy and do you mind paying for that, or can you get similar selections for less elsewhere in the park.
The theme of the restaurant is great from what I could see from the debarkation area of the ride, very nicely done. :)
It is absolutely worth it. I went there last week with my wife and the food was simply tremendous. I had the beef and she had the bean casserole. It was easily the best meal we had during our visit.
If you skip the dessert and drink tap water it's €29.99 instead of €39.99. There is also a further set menu at €59.99 for premium meal plan voucher users with daft stuff like foie gras.ß
We ate here and had a wonderful meal. Please give it a try.
You won't be sorry.
My boyfriend and I ate here in October (2014). We both had the Émile Menu €39.99.
1 Starter & 1 Main Course & 1 Dessert & 1 Refreshing Drink (33 cl) or Mineral Water (50 cl)
Starter: Mixed leaf salad with cheese and an olive oil, balsamic and sesame vinaigrette
Main Course: Cut of grilled beef, homemade ratatouille, French fries and the chef's sauce
Dessert:
Chocolate cake with crème anglaise
Brie de Meaux (Rothschild Estate - Trente Arpents Farm) with vine peach jelly and fruit bread
The salad starter is rather unexciting.
The steak was fantastic. I had mine rare and Simon (my boyfriend) has his medium. I'm fussy about steaks but it was excellent.
I had the brie to finish, which was nice as was the vine peach jelly but the bread was a little hard. Simon had the chocolate cake and he enjoyed it.
I've booked a table here for my trip with my Mum in a week. I will ask if I can just have a main course or a main course and dessert. I don't want the boring salad again.

I don't think it's worth the price. We went there this week, the day after going to Walt's, and we felt a huge difference from the first second.
The menu is very, very limited. A salad + meat, fish or tofu + many chocolate desserts or a cheese dessert. The restaurant is pretty, but unless you are in a group of around 5 and get a table next to the window, the rest of the tables are pretty average. Like counter service, 12€ menu average. They're fine, but you see those beautiful tables from the outside and when you go there everybody's seated in those boring square tables.
We had a reservation for 14:30 and had to wait for 10 minutes. They write down in a piece of paper the language they'll talk to you in and the language your menu will be in, and the waitress decided we would talk in French without asking us. Thankfully, the waitress was Spanish, so we spoke in Spanish, but I don't know why they don't just ask.
Anyway, after waiting those 10 minutes we were seated and waited for another 10 minutes. Then we ordered and waited for another 10 minutes for our drinks. Then we waited some more for the first course: a bland salad. We waited quite some time until they took the bowls away. Then mooooore waiting for the first course: a bland steak with ratatouille and fries. Fries were pretty good. My brother ate the fish and said it was fine, but he wasn't crazy about it; he did really like the ratatouille, though.
Then moooooore waiting until they took the plates away, moooooore waiting for the dessert: a gigantic chocolate mousse. It's way too much, but it's tasty.
If the restaurant is so understaffed when they're almost empty, I don't want to know how it is when they're half full.
Walt's is incredibly better. It's in another league. In another planet, another galaxy, and for the same price.
It just goes to show how we all experience different things on different days! I always used to eat at Walt's, would'nt miss it, but after several bad experiences and wait's that made yours at Remy seem insignificant I don't go there anymore. I have eaten at Remy three times and have found the salad delicious, tried both the fish and steak and liked them equally and will always call in when I am in the studios, next visit March!
The concept of the restaurant means that the tables are not as "grand" as they are at Walt's and I think the theming is incredible, as is Walt's. Let's not forget that Remy is supposed to be a rats restaurant and they would'nt necessarily go for crisp linen!
The great thing about eating at DLRP is precisely what you have highlighted, there is a fantastic choice of theming and dining, enough to make us all hapy!

I think you make an excellent point - there seem to be very few (if any?) eating establishments at DLP that get a thumbs up from everyone. It strikes me as either personal taste or a bit of bad luck, or just variance on staff on a particular day. I would be interested in hearing about recent experiences at Walt's though, as we visited in 2002 and loved it, but didn't go there last year.
Also, what's the children's food like at Chez Remy?
Captain rocket, if you're going to answer me try to read the post first, because I never said I had a bad experience. I said it's not worth the money. And it certanly isn't.
I don't need GRAND tables, and I didn't get a GRAND table at Walt's. But if I'm paying 40€ for a menu, I don't expect to get the same table I'd get for a 11€ menu at any counter service restaurant. That's the same reason why I don't go to Fuente del Oro. It's not bad, but I can pay the same money and get more food and better food with better service at better looking restaurants.
Daddyof2, of course not everybody has the same exact opinion of the same product. Nothing does, inside and outside DLP.
All a matter of personal preference. The point I was making is that it is SUPPOSED to look like something that has been pulled together by a collection of rats, if that makes it look like a counter service, then I think they have succeeded! We are all different and as I said there is an ideal restaurant for everyone at DLRP. I hope you enjoy dining on your next visit!
As a matter of interest, my favourite restaurant in Paris is the Cowboy Cookout! Best value in the resort and in Disney Village I love the Earl of Sandwich, again great value.
I love Walts, Chez Remy and Cowboy cookout and had fabulous experiences this year but I was disappointed that Cowboy cookout have stopped serving the yummy chilli with corn bread!
I guess menu's change fairly regularly, I always had and enjoyed the chowder as a starter at Walt's. This disapeared some time ago, variety is the spice of life I guess, but if the chowder returned to Walt's I would find it difficult to resist dining there!
My biggest dining regret at DLRP was the Manhattan restaurant converting to a Quasi Italian place. I stayed regularly at the New York and thought that this restaurant was fantastic with some genuine, say it quietly, French cuisine! There are so few places offering good quality French Food at the resort these days.
I never managed to try the Manhattan, it was always closed!
Ate at Chex Remy's last week and it was rubbish
20 wait for our table (15 mins after our reservation time). Then a horrendous wait for our main course. from the time we entered the restaurant to the main course arriving it was an hour an a half.
the kids starter (cherry tomatoes and mozzarella) I recognised as appearing as part of the salads at most of the all you can eat buffets. The mains were so bland, whilst being well cooked, were along way off fine dining.
The environment was nice. but to my mind the buffets offer considerably better value for money
My wife and I are going on Saturday 5th Sept and as "older" kids we looked at Chez Remy as a dining option. What appealed to us was the Linguini menu with the foie gras and fillet of beef and the house red wine (we are "older" kids don't forget) but at €127 that seems like a great deal of money for 2 courses. Maybe we'll use the shareholders discount assuming we can get it in Chez Remy

Yes, you can use the shareholders discount (we did when we ate there last)
Booked it for Sunday :) - When I checked the price agains King Ludwigs in the village it was only about £20 more for similar dishes. Thanks for the heads up on the shareholders discount
We're going there on Tuesday :) I'm really looking forward to it, we've only been there once but it was one of the best meals we've ever had in DLP. And the theming is simply perfect. I'm going with my parents, I hope they'll like it!!

I hope I'll be able to go there in two years' time. Would love to eat in a replica of the restaurant from Ratatouille (an extremely under-rated Pixar film in my opinion) but my brother is quite a fussy eater.
We had dinner there last night and thought it was excellent. It is pricey, but worth it for a one-off. The interior was charming. Food was also very good, although limited, but seeing as we like fillet of beef and foie gras we didn't have a problem. The food for children was also very good. I don't think we would rush back but mainly due to the price. In both mine and my husbands opinion Agrabah Cafe is extremely underrated and think it's the best value and nicest place to eat, particularly if you have under 3s and can make the most of the buffet option!
Does anyone know how much the Ratatouille dish is?
A bowl of Ratatouille is complimentary with any main course. It is not available separately.

Ohh, I thought it was a main dish sorry ::)
we ate in the bistrot for the first time during our last trip. The dishes aren't much different from other restaurants, steak or filet, fish, seomething vegan...But the filet I did have was wonderful, and the ratatouille deluxe tasted wonderful
