Counter Service at Epcot

[EEyorelover22]

Can anyone give me some suggestions on good counter service at Epcot? I know there are a couple.

My favorite is Sunshine Seasons.

I also like Sunshine Seasons. It is good for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. So much selections and delicious!

We like the Cantina de San Angel...the wet burritos are great.

I also love French Patisserie, however, DS17 and DH need "real" food Thank you everyone.

I didn't know about China. I can't eat there due to allergies, but they could and they would love that!

I am so excited....we just planned our trip yesterday and we leave in 21 days.

We like the Cantina de San Angel...the wet burritos are great.

Another good choice for the boys. They have to be well fed or they are Grumpy!!

are you asking about counter service as in the quality of the service ?

I have always found the counter service at the American Pavillon to be really good.

Can anyone give me some suggestions on good counter service at Epcot? I know there are a couple.

 

[EEyorelover22]

I mean as in good tasting.

It may sound weird but of all the places, I have the hardest time eating at Epcot due to my allergies.

I agree. We love this counter service restaurant.

Tangierine Cafe in Morocco -- good food, different, large portions...

Yorkshire County Fish Shop in England -- fast, crispy & good fish & chips

Several have mentioned Sunshine Seasons already. This is a great choice if your party can't decide on what it is they want - there's a huge assortment of foods available there.

Wow, probably THE hardest choice to make for a CS is at Epcot. The other parks there are a few that stand out....EPCOT....they almost all are wonderful.

Several have mentioned Sunshine Seasons....this is the place that has the largest selection and will probably be the easiest to find something for everyone no matter what their preferences are.... there is Asian food, soups, salads, sandwiches, hot items like rotisserie chicken, salmon and pork chops. There is a wide variety of "sides" to choose from mashed potatoes, salad, rice, carrots, etc. Wide variety of desserts too. There is also a grab and go that has sushi, quiches, sandwiches, etc.

Electric Umbrella (also in Futureworld) is a pretty typical burger joint, but also has chicken salad, sandwich and nuggets. I think there was also a veggie choice available here.

Then you get to the Countries!

United Kingdom.....Yorkshire Fish and Chips....delicious! The desert choice is only shortbread and it's packaged so not a favorite....if you don't have the dining plan where it's included, don't bother to pay for it. Save your $ for a sweet in France!

France....most people skip over Boulangerie Patisserie thinking it ONLY has sweet treats....but they have wonderful Croissant sandwiches and quiche too. There is also a cheese plate for those looking for a light meal full of protein! Of course, the sweets are excellent too!

Morroco has Tangierine Cafe which has Shawrma and wraps and meatball platters. If you're not sure about whether you'd like this food, a suggestion is to get one meal to share....if we like it you can get more, if it's not your thing, it's easier to toss one meal rather than more! I knew I would like the lamb, so this plan would be risk free for us, as if they didn't like it I'd take it along to another country to find them something.

Yakatori House in Japan has some rather Americanized Japanese food...nothing spectacular but good typical fast Japanese food. Teriyaki Chicken, Sukiyaki beef, tempura, curry beef. The sushi is pretty much California rolls, but it's prepackaged like you can get at some grocery stores, so not exactly high fresh quota.

America has burgers and chicken items, even a veggie and kosher meal. Nothing to write home about, but then again, if USA is your home, it's comfort food.

China's Lotus Blossom was ok....another Americanized menu....orange chicken that was way too sweet for me, but the kids loved it....Mongolian Beef with BBQ sauce was just to weird for me, but the chicken salad was pretty good. Potstickers were a bit dried out like they'd been sitting for a bit, and the egg rolls were too greasy for my taste.

Norway's Kringla Bakeri had several sandwich choices, soup, and salads in addition to it's yummy sweets.

Mexcio....this was probably the most disappointing of the CS in World Showcase. Living in Arizona we have some great Mexican food around....well, I'll have to wait until I'm home to get some. They have tacos, burritos, quesadilla, nachos, etc....but it really wasn't very good quality food and VERY Americanized. BUT....the servings are quite large so if you like American/Mexican food it's a good choice to share a meal.


So.....lots of choices. I highly recommend sharing meals so that you can try more countries' offerings.

We are not a fan of the electric umbrella. We have enjoyed just about all the various ones in the countries. The one in Mexico seems to be our fav however.

 

[webray]

I would go back to World Showcase and check out the fast food counters in each country.

Mexico..we agree, the wet burrito is very good.
Morroco...everything we have had there is wonderful, and the bakery items are fantastic
Germany...we love to share a brat
China..potstickers are fantastic
Japan...yakatori house is very good (doesn't serve yakatori, lol, but the food is good none the less)

We skip the fish and chips in England, as they are horrible. If you want fish and chips get in it downtown disney at Raglan Road.
Electric Umbrella is disgusting.

 

[SPAM]

I like Electric Umbrella, Sunshine Seasons, and Cantina San Angel.

 

[B-Ride]

Kringla Bakeri is a must if you like smoked salmon. Also the deserts are great especially the School Bread.

Sunshine Seasons has great variety.

 

[CR Resort Fan 4 Life]

My favorite is Electric Umbrella which is located in Future World.

 

[Disnsyncey]

We like the Cantina de San Angel...the wet burritos are great.

We discovered Sunshine Seasons for the first time in September after having walked past it thousands of times in the past!

I know it's already been mentioned several times as a favorite, but thought it was worth noting that they have a lot of smaller, healthy choices if you don't like big portions. For example, you can get small containers of tomato/mozzarella salad, couscous, tuna salad, humus, etc. without even having to wait in line to be served. They are grab and go. Lots of other choices I can't remember right now, but I remember having a hard time choosing between many tempting items.

This is a perfect lunch for us because we usually eat a big breakfast and just need a small portion lunch.
