Best Places To Eat At Epcot

Sit Down Restaurants (AKA Table Service)

Le Cellier

Located in Canada this is one of the more expensive options. Warning: getting a reservation here can be hard to do. It is definitely recommended that this be your first reservation when you are at your 180 days out from your trip. Don’t fret if you don’t get one of the coveted reservations on your first try. Sometimes you can get one the day of your visit. Le Cellier is known for their cheese soup and pretzel bread – both are truly amazing. But they also have other great items on the menu such as steak, chicken, and salmon. While eating dinner here is magnificent I highly recommend the lunch. You can still get some great food but the price may be just a little lower.

Via Napoli

Situated in Italy, Via Napoli is a great sit down restaurant where you are treated like family. The best seat is the big family table situated in the center of the room. You will be seated with other guests, making it feel like a big family dinner. The added bonus is you will be able to watch the chefs make all the food. This is the most popular seat in the house! To be honest, fare is pretty much the same for lunch and dinner so we only have a few recommendations for you. The pizzas are designed to feed two people but if you have small eaters, one could possibly feed 4 people.

Zeppole di Caterina (Ricotta cheese fritters, served with whipped cream and chocolate sauce)

Teppan Edo

This is easily my favorite restaurant in the whole world showcase. It is hibachi style and the show is as good as the food. The tables sit 8, so if you are a small party you will be seated with others. Naturally, that is part of the fun. All of the food is cooked in front of you and is fresh. Also, if you are lucky, your chef will pull out the magic and make Disney ears out of vegetables. Even your veggie-hater will want to eat it!

Snacks (AKA Quick Service)

School Bread– Found in Norway this sweet bread is filled with with vanilla creme custard and topped with shredded coconut.

Potstickers– Found at the Lotus Blossom Cafe in china these pot stickers are amazing. If you are not a potsticker fan, try the pork and vegetable egg rolls. They are generously stuffed and fried just perfect.

Soft Hand Twisted Pretzels– These are as authentic as you can get with soft pretzels. They are found in Germany and may ruin all other soft pretzels for you. If pretzels and carbs aren’t your thing, try the caramel popcorn. It is made fresh and is amazing!

Meat and Cheese Plate from Tutto Gusto– There are several snack options in Italy but none of them beat the meat and cheese plate! It is so filling it could be considered a lunch.

Sushi– Sushi from the Kabuki Café Food Cart in Japan is a sushi lovers dream and the perfect snack! There are 3 different options and you are sure to find one that you will love.

Macaron with Raspberry and Lime Cream Filling– You can find this at the Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie in France. It is honestly so good, you may eat two.

Fish and Chips– Okay, so this is more of a lunch than a snack. However, if you split it with another person, it could be considered a snack. You can find this tasty treat in the United Kingdom at the Yorkshire County Fish Shop.

There are plenty of options to feed your cravings while traveling around the world showcase. It can honestly be a foodie paradise. Even if you have a picky eater, 9 times out of 10 they are going to find something that they love.

If you have the dining plan most of the restaurants we mentioned are 2 credits and of course most of the snacks are 1 snack credit. But, some of the snacks are pretty cheap, so you may want to save your credits for something really awesome.

Another tip: split the snacks. Yes, they are so good you will want to eat it all, but that would leaving you feeling full when you’ve only made it a quarter way through the park. Plus splitting them will save you money.

If you really want to do Epcot in grand fashion might we suggest visiting during the Food and Wine festival? It is an amazing event full of food, wine, and fun. It gets bigger every year and worth every single penny. No matter how you eat your way around the world, good food and fun is around every corner.
