Illuminations

[JPage]

Can anyone suggest a restaurant at Epcot that would have a good view of illuminations? Thanks.

For TS I think Rose and crown is probably the best view. You can request the patio but if you do not get it no worries they let you go out there for the show.

From Bistro de Paris you can also see the show but it is very upscale, indoors, on the second floor so just a different vibe. I wouldn't mind seeing it from there but I have seen illuminations over 20 times. IF you really want to be "in" the show Rose and crown is the way to go.

Also for CS the cantina de San Angel is great if you can grab a table early. If we go with that route we usually waste the time sipping margarita: and have some snacks there. Soemtimes eat else where earlier because we think the food is ok but not terrific.

Cantina de san angel or rose and crown. Remember that both of these fill up fast so you'll need to arrive at Mexico at least 1 and a 1/2 hours before or you'll need a 6:45 ADR at Rose and Crown. Seating is limited.

Cantina is counter service and Rose and Crown is Table service.

Rose and Crown in the best. You have a 30% chance of being seated on the terrace. We've been lucky three out of eight times we've eaten dinner there during showtime.

I understand the remodeled Toyko Dining room in Japan pavilion has a good view of illuminations ( I think it read it in a dining review on this site).
