Can't decide on Epcot dining!

[jandm]

I'm torn on which restaurants to visit at Epcot. I know we want to do Les Chef's --but which would you choose between Via Napoli & Tutto?
Also looking for one more to add. Rose & Crown looks pretty good. I know Teppan is good, but we have a few hibachi restaurants in our city and it looks like they do the same things there (onion volcano, etc..) Thanks for your advice/suggestions!

First, great choice on Les Chefs. It is one of my favorites!

Have you done Le Cellier? I recommend lunch there; I know it isn't a highly talked about menu item, but if you are a salmon fan, their salmon burger is fantastic (and, something I crave!)

I would go with Napoli, but I'm probably a bit biased. I like Tutto, but VN has been on my list of places that I really want to try out.

I also really like San Angel Inn; to be honest, it can be a hit or miss with the food, though. I've had some great meals there and some mediocre, at best, meals. But, I just love being inside there, so I still can't pass it up.

I was looking at San Angel, but having a hard time seeing any entrees that appeal to me (I don't care for spicy food) - but the atmosphere looks great! Le Cellier looks wonderful...if we do the deluxe dining plan, I will do that one, if we don't, I really don't want to waste 2 dining credits. Thanks for your opinion!

The rose and crown is very good and in my opinion the best spot to watch the fireworks.

Keep in mind Le Cellier is only one credit at lunch, in case you want to do a TS lunch and then a CS dinner.

Good to know! I wasn't aware of that. Thanks!

Know this isn't exactly what you asked, but we have gotten a little tired of some of the Epcot restaurants, especially those that we can get lots better food near home anytime. The one place that we love is a close walk (or boat ride) through International Gateway to the Beach Club. It's called a Clam Bake and is at Cape May, but it's pretty much whatever seafood lovers or not would like to eat. It's a well-serviced buffet and has some of the best clam chowder, crab legs, or non-seafood items that you would like to eat. Also, their desserts are VERY yummy .

We enjoyed Via Napoli so much in October (just DH and I) that we are already planning on going again with DS and DDiL this coming fall. The pizza was great, we enjoyed the atmosphere and our service was outstanding. I have never eaten at Tutto, so I can't compare.
We love Teppan Edo, it is a must do for us each trip. But if you have good hibachi at home, I would opt for something more unique at Disney.
We have done Rose & Crown many times and I have really enjoyed it. The viewing of Illuminations is great.
We also really like Restaurant Marrakesh. A beautiful restaurant, with warm friendly service and good food.
Enjoy

On Tutto vs. Via Napoli--Via Napoli is more casual, and more pizza focused. Tutto is fancier, and has a more "adult" atmosphere with dimmed lighting. Your other posts seem to indicate kids at 11, 7, and 4, so Via Napoli is probably a better choice for you. Since you're on DDP, money isn't an issue--Tutto is one of the most expensive menus available as a one credit, so if you like bargains, Tutto is one on DDP.

For other choices, why not Biergarten? One of the most entertaining World Showcase options, not that tough of an ADR to get, good food, and again your DDP credit is worthwhile at dinner. And it's much less likely to be similar to something you have at home than Rose & Crown or San Angel Inn.

We never miss a chance to go to Garden Grill. It is always a great variety of food, and they will bring you as much as you care to eat. Otherwise, Rose and Crown is an excellent choice.

Tutto > Via.

I just wrote a long post yesterday about this! Our experience at Via was semi-negative, but our experience at Tutto was absolutely wonderful! Tutto is in our top 3 Disney restaurants. I recommend it alllll the way.

Chefs and Tutto are our favourite restaurants at Epcot. We have eaten at Chefs our last 5 trips and Tutto the last 2.
