Le Cellier/Vegetarians

I keep reading all these glowing reports about Le Cellier and I really think it might be okay, but I'm not sure. I looked at the menu and it is ...well, a steakhouse of course. Do you really think a vegetarian would be wowed by this place? We, like everyone, like to see a variety of things on the menu to choose from and this one just looks kind of limited. I mean, we could eat salads and breadsticks for appetizers, but there is really only one veggie entree listed. How fun would it be for everyone to get the same thing? So. Should we try it anyway, or go back to Nine Dragons where we KNOW we have a bunch of choices? Oh, we don't eat red meat, chicken, pork or any seafood, but we are not vegan. Thanks!

PS: We currently have ADRs at Alfredo's, California Grill, Sci Fi and Boma. Trying to decide on another Epcot TS.

while they're subject to change, you can get a good idea of the menus of all the eateries at http://www.allearsnet.com/menu/menus.htm

i have yet to experience why le cellier seems to be the place everyone is talking about. les chefs de france in france sounds pretty good to me as well (i hope to make adr's at them both)

Melanie, if you ask at least a day in advance, then you can get the cheddar cheese soup specially made for you. It usually has bacon stock in it, but I put in a request the day before and had a special vegetarian version. It was superb.

I will admit that I think the only choices I had at lunch was salad and something was fish in, but the breadsticks are excellent and they do some superb desserts there as well.

If you're worried about the lack of choice for vegetarians, perhaps it's worth calling them to see if they'd make a couple of other dishes for your party.

I think you have already received great advice, so I'll just add a little to the mix! If you are just wanting to experience Le Cellier, maybe you could just go for the soup

, breadsticks & salad (and a little wine, if that appeals to you), then have dessert & coffee

. It could be a light lunch for y'all. If it's a full meal that you want, I would go with Cheryl's suggestion & call ahead to find out what type of vegetarian meals can be made for your party. I know a few chefs

and they actually like it when a customer requests something different or special, it allows them use their creativity. I'm sure fixing the same ol' thing everyday can become monotonous....so go for it!!!

HTH!

I ordered the lasanga four ways (it is a vegetarian meal) and it was wonderful! I am sure they will do what they can to accomodate you. This was a fabulous restaurant!

Thanks, y'all. I'm still not sure, though. Normally I'd have no problem calling ahead and asking them to vegetarianize (made up word) something for us, but this is that free dining thing I scored so I'm already feeling a little guilty about it. I can't imagine calling up and saying "Hey, Le Cellier people? Hi. Hey, I'm coming by for a free meal later, do you think you could bend over backwards for me since I'm so darn special? Did I tell you it's free?".

Know what I mean? So, we'll see. Thanks for the advice, though.

Melanie you are still paying for your meals in one way or another. You go down there and hand over your hard-earned money on a regular basis. Call LeCellier and inquire about veg meals. They think nothing of taking advantage of their loyal guests who are Annual Passholders or Florida Residents so why shouldn't you be able to eat what you want where you want it?

No way - don't feel guilty. Besides, the chef doesn't know how you are paying and could care less!!

I think you should do as Cheryl suggested. The chefs would probably LOVE to create something different from the same old stuff night after night after night....So, CALL!!

I'm with Lisa and Elaine - at the end of the day, you're the customer and it doesn't matter how you're paying for your vacation - it's your vacation, so make sure you enjoy it and if that means asking what they can create for you, then why not!
