One thing we love about Disney World is that restaurants are always trying to think outside the box when it comes to food. Now, we’ve tried some questionable things in Disney World, basically food experiments that didn’t really work, but we still have to applaud the effort.

So when we discovered that a Croissant Burger existed in EPCOT, we were very intrigued, so we made our way over to the France Pavilion (because where else would it be?) to check it out.

Meet the Croissant Burger, or the Le Croissant du Boucher as it’s called on the Chefs de France menu. This is a burger made of Angus ground beef with alpine cheese, onion confit, and mustard aioli on a croissant bun for $29.95. It also has lettuce and tomatoes on it and is served with a side of shoestring fries and a small cup of ketchup. We’ll start with the fries. They were sort of like McDonald’s fries, but they got cold quickly and needed more salt. The sad thing was they tasted like frozen fries, which was slightly disappointing at a place like Chefs de France.

However, the croissant bun is soft and flaky, with all those buttery layers you love in a croissant. It gives each bite a nice pillowy texture. The burger is also thick and juicy with just a hint of seasoning, which allows the toppings to shine. The cheese is there, but it doesn’t compete with the other flavors. The strongest flavor is the onion confit and mustard aioli that combine to add a slightly sweet, yet savory zing. You also get some nice freshness and crunch from the lettuce and tomato.

We thought this burger was pretty yummy, and each bite had a nice contrast of textures and flavors. But $30 for a burger and only okay fries? Well, we’re still not so sure about that. There are so many other great French-inspired items on the menu here, like the Filet de saumon or the Boeuf Bourguignon. Then again, maybe this is an entree for pickier eaters.

So if you’re wanting something “safe” as far as food goes at Chefs de France, this burger might fit the bill. But it really just makes us miss the French Bistro Burger at Connections Eatery, which was only like $14. C’mon, Disney, give it back! We’ll keep an eye out for more new food and drinks in Disney World, so stay tuned to DFB for more.
