We usually don’t order brie, but this was rather enjoyable. The cheese wasn’t too sharp or pungent, which makes it more acceptable. The bread was nice and soft, a perfect pairing for the crème. It also takes a cute picture thanks to the artwork on the bread and the napkin set up. We rate this a 5 out of 7.

*NEW* Pithiviers de Canard et Volaille, Sauce Canard: Puff Pastry with Duck, Chicken, Onions, Mushrooms, Cranberries, and Duck Sauce – $9.95

We give them points for attempting to make the sauce into a hidden Mickey. It didn’t quite work but it was a cute idea. The crust is a little tough and the dish overall is too greasy. It’s a hearty dish and the duck is very good. We rate this a 6 out of 7.

*NEW* Escargot en Chocolat: Chocolate Mousse Flourless Cake, Citrus Coulis, Almond-Chocolate Coating, and Dark Chocolate Decoration – $9.25

This is adorable. We almost didn’t want to cut into it because it’s so cute. However, the flavors aren’t well balanced. The citrus comes on very strong and clashes with the mousse. The mousse itself doesn’t have enough flavor to balance out the tart citrus. If you come looking for chocolate from this dish, you’ll be disappointed. We rate this a 3 out of 7.

Frozen French Martini: Grey Goose Vodka ($27/bottle), Vodka, Chambord Liqueur ($28/bottle), Pineapple, Orange and Grape Juices with Lemon-Lime Foam – $15.25

Frozen French Martini: Grey Goose Vodka ($27/bottle), Vodka, Chambord Liqueur ($28/bottle), Pineapple, Orange and Grape Juices with Lemon-Lime Foam – $15.25

We expected this to be extremely sweet based on the description, however, this was a crowd pleaser. It’s well-balanced and sweet, but not too sweet where you lose the essence of this delicious cocktail. You can really taste the grape juice in this one. The lemon lime foam on top was somewhat flat, which was disappointing, but the Chambord is the highlight of the drink, pairing very well with the grape juice. This one gets a big thumbs up from us. We rate this a 6 out of 7.

Elderflower Liqueur Spritz: St. Germain Liqueur ($31/bottle), Sparkling Wine and Mint – $13.25

The elderflower flavoring is a bit lacking in this cocktail, leaving it to taste like a basic champagne. There are so many great beverages inside the France Pavilion, that we think this one is skippable. We rate this a 3 out of 7.

Charles Lafitte, Brut Rosé Prestige, Méthode Traditionnelle Champenoise, French Rosé Sparkling Wine ($15/bottle) – $9.75

From Wine Enthusiast: “This is a truly fun sparkling wine with a squeaky clean nose of fall apples backed up by mandarin flavors in the mouth. There’s a barely perceptible sweetness here but the (short) finish is clean and crisp.”

*NEW* Patient Cottat Le Grand Caillou Pinot Noir ($21/bottle) – $9.75

From Vineyard Brands: “Young garnet. Scents of sweet strawberry fruit, dried honey, and hints of pepper overlay subtle red fruits, cranberry and red currant. A delicate wine with real finesse.
