AK and Epcot must have ADRs?

[DVC_HK]

Hey ya'll so tomorrow morning is my 180 days till our February trip! My soon to be DW is bringing her grandparents with us to AK and Epcot while we stay at the Poly. Is there any ADRs that are a must have for you when you visit these parks? Been a few times but like to hear from others to make me expand my experiences. Thanks Ya'll!

Le Cellier Steakhouse in Canada at Epcot, though pricey.

I would honestly read DFG's guides and watch the YouTube videos by Disunplugged and DFG on best/worst and dining reviews.

I haven't eaten enough places to be reliable but honestly AK I have to do Flame Tree (no ADR needed) and Epcot it would be Le Cellier. Have eaten at quite a few tableservice but they change way to often to keep up like the pros (new chef, menu, experiences).

At Epcot we love Chefs, Le Cellier, Tutto Italia, and Coral Reef. At AK we enjoy TH for breakfast and Rainforest Cafe for lunch, and dinner at Boma at AKL.

Our Epcot favorites are Spice Road Table (ADR) or Tangierine Cafe (counter service), Biergarten and Chef Paul's. In AK it's Tiffins and Flame Tree Barbecue.

At AK we enjoy Yak and Yeti, sit down. It is a bit quieter ( and upstairs by elevator is even calmer/quieter) after a hectic park day. The food is delicious and service has always been good.
In Epcot, we like Morocco for our sit down meal. Pretty dining room. There is typically entertainment ( a traditional belly dancer) with live music. The food is varied and yummy
( simple chicken kabobs as well as delicious Moroccan fare, salad and drinks). Something for everyone.
I’d suggest looking at menus before booking your ADR. if there are any picky/restrictive diet needs, you ll know food in advance.
We also enjoy Biergarten ( lively entertainment, good food) but shared tables, noisy and a buffet.
Wherever you choose, enjoy!

Just an FYI, we love Nomad Lounge at AK, no reservation needed. It's right next to Tiffin's - cocktails, wine, small plates.
At Epcot our favorites are Garden Grill for breakfast, La Hacienda San Angel, and Chefs de France.
Our favorite restaurants on property are Yachtsman and Flying Fish, both a 5-10 minute walk out of the International Gateway entrance/exit of Epcot. I think both are worth the extra trip.

Go before 3:30 and get the lunch prices on the same great food.

Our favourites at Epcot are Le Cellier, Teppan Edo and Biergarten.

To be honest, nothing at AK is a must do for us. We do like Tusker House, but mostly we stick to quick service there . Satuli Canteen and Flame Tree BBQ are delicious.

Coral Reef is under rated I feel and Sanaa over at Kidani Village in AK is super.

Throw me in with the Le Cellier camp.

Also surprised with the lack of mention of Tiffins. Pricy, even more so then Le Cellier, but its by far the best food I’ve had on property. Just keep in mind its a slower paced meal.

Le Cellier is delicious. It's our date night spot when we go. Honestly, nothing at AK is worth the money or time, for us. It's always a half-day park for us and we usually go to Epcot to eat after. Epcot has so much good food!

 

[Wild4Walt]

In AKL, we really enjoy Yak and Yeti so we always book that one.

In Epcot, Teppan Edo is our favorite ( but we enjoy Teppanyaki style at home too ), Tutto Italia or Via Napoli are really good too. We've enjoyed Le Cellier but we felt the tables were way too close for comfort and it also made the restaurant louder than preferred.
If you want to plan a character meal, then I'd recommend Garden Grill. It's family style vs. buffet and the food was very good. Great for character interaction too.

I don’t think there’s really any menu or price differences between lunch and dinner - used to be - but not anymore

So We ended up with Chef Mickey on our first night since it will be the first time the grandparents have been back since they said the 70s so had to get them some mickey time. We are doing Rose & Crown in Epcot for dinner around the fireworks time and then Tusker house at AK. Looking forward to our trip!

Thats great first choices as I am sure in the 179 days left to go you might change several times like most of us do. Even though you made your choices already I would still like to suggest Coral Reef as others have. Its such a cool place to have dinner with the fishes. If you're looking for time with Mickey and a place at Epcot may I suggest Garden Grill. It is an all you care to eat and has Mickey also. I feel the food is way better here than at Chef Mickey.

For AK I suggest Yak N Yeti also. Food is always good.

Since your staying at Poly I would suggest Ohana also. Great meal with a great view of MK.

Have a great trip.

Personal favorites Chefs de France and Biergarten. Especially the later. I grew up on German food though so I may be a bit bias.
