Restaurants in Epcot
Epcot has the best dining choices of any Disney World park, and people come just for the food. All locations will have a few vegetarian options, kids’ meals, and (if you identify yourself) special dietary requests can usually be accommodated, albeit often at diminished quality. Alcohol is served everywhere in World Showcase—even in Morocco (it’s much easier to drink here than it is in the real country).
The best casual eating action is in World Showcase. Across the park, there are many more minor kiosks for snacks than what’s listed here. Unless noted, all quick-service options accept Mobile Order.

Biergarten Restaurant
Toddlers lurch forward to polka, dads dive into mugs of Radeberger pilsner, and strangers make friends with their neighbors at this rowdy, carb-loaded party, an all-you-can-eat stuffer featuring schnitzel, spaetzle, rotisserie chicken, sauerbraten (at dinner), and an oompah band for…$$$Germany - French
Boulangerie Pâtisserie
Grab a fast, bready bite in the back of Les Halles, such as a chocolate croissant or a ham-and-cheese croissant (both around $4.75—decent bargains), tarts, Niçoise salad, croque-monsieur, or baguette sandwiches. A cash-only kiosk on the lagoon griddles up hot crepes (with sweet…$$France - French
Chefs de France
In a glassed-in dining room recalling a typical French bistro, dine on quiche and crepes or prototypical French food such as duck breast, beef bourguignon, escargot, and filet de boeuf (lunch and dinner). There’s also a $55 prix-fixe, three-course meal with one glass of wine. Entrees…$$$France - Seafood
Coral Reef Restaurant
Turns out fish are both friends and food: Through windows into the 27-foot-deep aquarium, admire the luckier buddies of the fish on your plate. Only about half the menu selections are fish, and the rest are things like short ribs or strip steak. It’s about the cool view, not the…$$$The Seas with Nemo & Friends - American
Electric Umbrella

Katsura Grill
Japan’s small counter-service location is in the gardens, and it supplies Japanese curry, chicken, sushi ($9–$12 for four pieces), and teriyaki. Below, the Garden House kiosk pours plum wine and sake for $7‒$11. Facing the lagoon under the pagoda, the Kabuki Cafe kiosk (closed in…$$Japan - Scandinavian
Kringla Bakeri Og Kafé
Some of the selections in Norway’s bake shop can’t be found elsewhere at Disney. Many people claim the smooth, strawberry-topped rice cream pudding to be their favorite sweet in Walt Disney World. You can also get sandwiches, heated to order, and Uncrustables. Desserts $4‒$7.$Norway - Mexican
La Cantina De San Angel
Mexico’s counter-service option (outdoors on the lagoon) will give you beef, fish, chicken tacos, cheese empanadas, nachos, and margaritas (from $11). It’s outside, but on the water. Combo meal $10‒$15.$$Mexico - French
La Crêperie de Paris
At France's back end near the Remy ride, take away savory galette crepes (meats or veggies) and sweet crepes (fruit, hazelnut chocolate spread, or the classic butter-and-sugar). There's also a table-service section for fuller crepe-based meals. Crepes $7–$11.$$France - Mexican
La Hacienda de San Angel
By day, it’s a sunny place to get your tequila on. By night, this villa-themed restaurant (vaulted ceilings, hanging lanterns) is a fair place to sit for the nighttime show on the lagoon, but only if you’re lucky enough to score a window seat. Margaritas are $15. Get the steak,…$$$Mexico - Steaks
Le Cellier Steakhouse
It takes the Canadian-themed restaurant to deliver the most all-American menu of filet mignon, Prince Edward Island mussels, and chicken, but it also Canucks it up with sides such as poutine fries (topped with cheddar, truffle salt, and red-wine reduction). Specialties include a…$$$Canada - Sandwiches
Les Halles Boulangerie Pâtisserie
Grab a fast, bready bite in the back of Les Halles, such as a chocolate croissant or a ham-and-cheese croissant, pastry, quiche, or baguette sandwiches ($7–$10). Next door, L’Artisan des Glaces has good sorbets and ice creams—plus a deadly ice cream martini made with Grand Marnier…$France - Chinese
Lotus Blossom Café

Monsieur Paul
Epcot’s most thoughtful menu (and also its most expensive) starts with napkins that are folded like a chef’s jacket. This is special occasion stuff: an oxtail soup with black truffle, duck shepherd’s pie, black sea bass in rosemary sauce with scales made of roasted potato slices,…$$$France - Chinese
Nine Dragons Restaurant
When you can’t get a reservation anywhere else, you end up here. The food’s not much more daring or spicy than at neighboring Lotus Blossom Café (see above), except that there are more choices and they’re more expensive. The decor is handsomely geometric, but nothing memorable,…$$$China - Character Meal
Princess Storybook Dining at Akershus Royal Banquet Hall
It’s Epcot’s meet-the-princesses extravaganza for all three “feasts” daily, in a Norwegian castle-like setting of vaulted ceilings and banners. Someone always stops by, be it Belle, Aurora, Snow White, Cinderella, or Ariel, who must not have heard that Norwegians love raw fish. This…$$$Norway - American
Regal Eagle Smokehouse
Pan-American barbecue (Memphis dry-rub pork ribs, Kansas City smoked chicken, sliced Texas beef brisket) from an outdoor smoker plus rich craft beers. Very American indeed! Combo meal $14‒$16.

Rose & Crown Pub & Dining Room
The interior is similar to a country pub—big wooden bar with Victorian screen serving whisky and lots of British and Irish draught beers ($10, or twice as much as a London pub)—although some of the seating is outdoors. You can get bangers and mash (sausage with mashed potatoes),…$$United Kingdom - Mexican
San Angel Inn Restaurante
Epcot’s most atmospheric restaurant is set beneath a false twilight sky at the base of an ancient pyramid, with the boats from the Gran Fiesta Tour steadily passing—reserve the first time of the day to guarantee a seat by the river. The fare isn’t Tex-Mex as much as it is Mexican:…$$$Mexico - German
Sommerfest
When you can’t get into Biergarten (see below), settle for this kiosk to get your bratwurst, sausage, and beer. Sausage rolls $10‒$11.$$Germany - American
Space 220
New for 2021: A fun place where the gimmick is you’re dining (and wining—the list is more than 1,000 bottles long) 220 miles above the ground aboard a space station. Upon arrival, you "ride" an elevator to space. It’s a lot like the Coral Reef Restaurant, but in a vacuum: A…$$$Mission: Space - Moroccan
Spice Road Table
Serving spicy garlic shrimp, pomegranate-chili crispy cauliflower, and cocktails, it has terrace lagoon views ideal for spectators of the nighttime show, so it fills up by 8pm. It also has a rare full bar that can do proper cocktails, not just pre-blended ones. Small plates $9‒$13.…$$Morocco - International
Sunshine Seasons
Options here have deteriorated over the years, but they remain the best selection and freshest food of all Epcot’s counter-service locations, including salads, grilled items (oak-grilled salmon), sesame-crusted tuna—not a deep-fried item in sight. Breakfast $7‒$10, lunch and dinner…$$The Land - Japanese
Takumi-Tei
New in 2019, it’s the most elegant and modern restaurant in the Japan pavilion (no lagoon views), and the menu’s decidedly pricey: Wagyu beef and premium sake, with sushi starters. Heed the dress code of golf casual or business casual—no flip-flops or T-shirts allowed. Dinner only.…$$$Japan - Moroccan
Tangierine Café
The indoor counter-service location serves shawarma or falafel with hummus, couscous, bread, and tabbouleh; and lamb or chicken platters and wraps. Accent it with Casa Beer, from Casablanca, or Moorish coffee (powerful espresso spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg), and add baklava for…$$Morocco - Japanese
Teppan Edo
Above the Mitsukoshi store (which runs it), a chef-cum-swordsmith slices, dices, and cooks at the teppanyaki griddle built into your table. It’s fun to watch, although it’s not a great choice if your kids are too young to keep their hands to themselves. Ask to see the smoking onion…$$$Japan - Japanese
Tokyo Dining
On the second floor of the Japan pavilion, you’ll find a waitstaff more subdued than any in Tokyo and a menu offering both tempura/grills and sushi in modest portions. Some tables have a view of the lagoon, which comes in handy around the nighttime show. Entrees $21‒$34, sushi $7‒$18…$$$Japan - Italian
Tutto Gusto
The excellent full bar (stand-up only) attached to the Tutto Italia Ristorante is an underrated oasis that serves grown-up cocktails and also a selection of cheese and meat plates for two or three, plus shared pasta, cannoli, tiramisu, and panini. Get a six-wine “Grand Tour” flight…$$Italy - Italian
Tutto Italia Ristorante
Proclaimed authentic mostly by people who have never been to Italy, this dusky environment of chandeliers and murals nonetheless packs ‘em in. Pasta of this low caliber should not cost this much, but that doesn’t stop patrons from buying $27 slices of lasagna. Entrees $22‒$35, panini…$$$Italy - Italian
Via Napoli Ristorante E Pizzeria
The more enjoyable of Italy’s two table-service restaurants features lots of light, three-story vaulted ceilings, and three amusing wood-fired ovens shaped like the open mouths of giant mustachioed men named after volcanoes. Into those are thrust $18 to $23 individual pizzas and…$$$Italy - British
Yorkshire County Fish Shop
Snag fish and chips or chicken-and-mushroom pie and eat it alfresco. You get two strips of fish with chips (fries)—make sure to put vinegar, not ketchup, on the fries, the way the English do. Ale costs $10. In the Rose & Crown pub, you can buy Scotch eggs or fish and chips ($12).…$$United Kingdom
