Les Chefs de France is one of two restaurants in the France Pavilion at Epcot's World Showcase at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, United States. The dining venue was opened by French gastronomic legends Roger Vergé (1930–2015), Gaston Lenôtre (1920–2009) and Paul Bocuse (1926-2018)[1][2][3] It opened at Epcot's inception in 1982 and has been run since 1996 by Bocuse's son Jérôme.[4]

In 2009, an animatronic Disney characterization of the mouse Remy from the Disney animated feature Ratatouille appeared at the restaurant several times daily. The robotic rodent (which is the smallest the Imagineers at Disney have ever produced) was brought around by a handler to appear at diners' tables, which was especially apt given that one of the establishment's founders, Gaston Lenôtre, is widely believed to have been part of the inspiration for Auguste Gusteau in the film.[5][6]
