Best Restaurant in Epcot (on a budget)
We are a family of 5 on a budget. Need to find a good restaurant in Epcot that is family friendly as we have 3 kids who are picky eaters. Any suggestions? Akershus is too expensive.

For a family of picky eaters Garden Grilli might be a food option. Has been a while since we've been but they have a Dutch style Buffett where they bring everything to the table and from want I recall they had a good selection.

Sunshine Seasons, as previously suggested, or Tangierine Café are both inexpensive and very good. The latter might have some things outside the picky kids' comfort zone, potentially, but there are some middle-of-the-road choices there, too.

Via Napoli was a huge hit for our picky group! We ordered a pizza, which everyone loved. The salad we ordered had 'fancy' lettuce in it, which our kids wouldn't touch, but we let them order the Zeppoli for dessert, and that was a huge success!

Its a short walk outside the international gateway, but consider the espn club. The huge tvs with sports are great entertainment for the boys..... I personally enjoyed big river bbq as well (also cheap for disney).

Sunshines Food Court has some options and you could split a few meals different ways. I think the pizza at Via Napoli is huge, a large couldn't come close to feeding two adults who like pizza so you could probably get away with a large pizza depending on yours and your kids appetites and maybe some sort of appetizer. If they don't get sodas you could save a bit as well.

If I was on a budget in the parks, as long as the kids like pizza Via Napoli would be my #1 choice since you can basically split a big pizza among a table of 5. Second choice would be the Biergarden in Germany, but only for a late lunch (it's the same food as at dinner for much less).

Thanks for the info! I consider kid friendly to be somewhere that is somewhat loud and serves kids menu choices such as chicken nuggets, pizza, etc. But if we can ALl split a large pizza then that would be even better for the wallet
 My kids aren't big eater's really.
