Mystery Solved…
Charm & Grace
Oh my sweet bloggy friends… you all gave such thoughtful answers to my mystery drawing, and I couldn’t keep you in suspense any longer. Vee from A Haven for Vee commented that she would love to be in EPCOT. Miss Peach of Miss Peach Meowz said she thinks it is the wilds of Canada, and Lorrie of Fabric, Paper, Thread said that it looked like it could be from her neck of the woods (also Canada.) Then Experiment_627 (DIS) hit the nail precisely on the head (I wouldn’t expect less from a fellow Disney lover), “The Canada pavillion at Epcot! Mmmm, Le Cellier filet…. “

Yes, it is Walt Disney World’s Canada pavilion in EPCOT. And now I will tease and tantalize you with some photos from our trip last year.

These are the gardens which greet you as you are coming into the Canada pavilion, and they are patterned after the beautiful Butchart Gardens in Victoria, BC.

The centerpiece of EPCOT’s Canada pavilion is a replica of the Château Laurier hotel in Ottowa. This is an aesthetically majestic piece of architecture, and it houses the real treasure of this part of EPCOT, the wonderful Le Cellier restaurant.

This restaurant is nestled in the bottom of the beautiful chateau and is fashioned to look like a wine cellar… hence the name Le Cellier.

This is the famous pretzel bread that so tantalizes restaurant-goers at Walt Disney World that they cannot help themselves and must go to Le Cellier. Seriously, it is some of the best bread you have ever put in your mouth. But with or without the pretzel bread, I suspect Le Cellier would still be the most popular restaurant at EPCOT.
Then there are the wonderfully flavorful appetizers like this dish of Prince Edward Island mussels below.

But the true piece de resistance for me…

… is the Mushroom Filet Mignon. It is just one of several steak dishes for which the restaurant has become so popular. But, lest you think that is all they have to offer…

… now that is SOME MORE fabulous s’more! And then there’s…

… the vanilla and maple creme brulee sampler. Scrumptiously delicious (is that redundant? Not where this dessert is concerned!)
As you can see, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thanks so much for all who joined in the mystery fun. I hope to have another picture for your mystery enjoyment very soon!

Thanks for revealing the mystery.

Hi, Christi, thank you for stopping by for a visit! I’m so happy to meet another B’ham girl. I’m sure there are a lot of us bloggers here in the area. I do hope you’ll come back by often and I’ll try to do the same. It is SO hard to keep up with all the blogs and I don’t do a great job of it, since there are so many. I am always meeting new girls out there too.

Glad someone figured it out Christi.
That Creme Brulee looked very interesting. Two flavours in one what a great idea.
