Despite the name, Bistro is the elegant, upscale establishment. Much more "fine dining" than Chefs de France. If you're looking for an elegant, romantic, long meal, Bistro is the place. If you like your romantic meals more on the casual side, and have other things you want to do around the park, Chefs is the place.

Look hard at your budget too! Bistro is much pricier than Chefs (which ain't cheap either) which I guess is why it is not on the DDP.

I've never been to Bistro, so I can't really say much, but I LOVED Chefs, did it on the DxDDP, great menu, excellent service, and had the best filet mignon there, thought it was even better than the mushroom filet at Le Cellier IMO.

Bistro, definitely. One of our favorite restaurants.

Chefs is too loud IMHO, and it makes it much less enjoyable. Bistro is much more relaxed and romantic. It is more expensive, but not that much more and the difference is HUGE!!!

I would vote Bistro as well! We didn't dine there our last trip, but it looked wonderful and romantic from the outside. The menu also looked great, from what we could tell it was much more formal and adult oriented (as the above comments stated). I've heard good things about Chefs, but if I had my choice I would be at Bistro!

If you do want quiet and romantic I would choose Bistro, but my family personally likes Chefs de France. Try the escargot if you're up for it!!

I'd go with the Bistro.
Our dinner at Chefs was possibly the most disappointing meal we've ever had at WDW.
