Le Cellier Steakhouse at Epcot

For Father's Day, my parents, my boyfriend, and I (Anna) went to Disney to celebrate my dad. I have mentioned before that Epcot is his favorite park to go and explore, so that is where we headed first. I had made a reservation at Le Cellier Steakhouse during the week knowing that most dads love steak and that would be a popular destination for theme park goers hoping to give their dad a special treat.

We made it into the park about 30 minutes before our reservation, so we decided to explore Canada a little bit. We decided to watch the Circle-Vision 360 film, "O Canada!".The film gave the audience different views of our neighbors to the north. I have never been to the actual country, so the show was very educational and fun as it was narrated by comedian and Canadian, Martin Short.

By the time the film was over, it was perfect timing to head to dinner. The restaurant was nestled in a cellar of a Canadian chateau. The atmosphere was very beautiful, but very dim. To make up for the dimness of the area, the menus lit up. I had never seen this before, so I was a little overly excited about it.

Our waitress, brought us a basket of bread that contained different kinds from the different regions in Canada. The bread was very fresh and so delicious. My personal favorite was the pretzel bread. We ordered the Charcuterie as an appetizer which contained the chef's handcrafted meat selection, prosciutto, flagship, cheddar, and accompaniments. For my entree, I got the "Le Cellier" Mushroom Filet Mignon which came with wild mushroom risotto, pickled pearl onions, and white truffle-butter sauce.

Even though everyone was stuffed at the table, we still ordered a dessert to share which was the Maple Crème Brûlée. It was the perfect ending to our delicious meal. Being the great daughter that I am, I picked up the tab. That being said, I know this restaurant isn't cheap, but if you are looking for a place worth the splurge you will find it in Le Cellier Steakhouse.

After stuffing our stomaches to the max, we looked for a place to relax and digest. We headed to The Mill Stage. If you are into kilt wearing, bagpipe playing rockers then you need to check out Off Kilter. Even if you're not... check it out once... seriously.
