I need 3 table service meals in Epcot World Showcase. I am struggling to pick myself, as I haven't been to any of them, so I need your ideas. Its really hard for me, because I am looking at this trip to Disney, as not returning in 6-8 years, so I need to choose wisely. So which 3 TS meals do you think I should do? We are 2 adults and 2 children (9 and 13). I am on the regular dining plan, and I don't want any signature credit restaurants. One for lunch, and 2 for dinner. I will be at Tangierine Cafe for a counter service lunch. Please don't say Akershus unless you think the food is also good, because I already have ADR's for CRT. And Garden Grill, and Coral Reef do not appeal to me.
 
There are lots of great choices. Everyones tastes are different so ymmv, but here is what I would choose.

Via Napoli for lunch
Biergarten and Les Chefs de France for dinner.
 
I agree with the pp. Biergarten has very good food and a really fun atmosphere. chefs of france is delicious. We love the short ribs. another one we like is San Angel inn. Its our favorite restaurant for atmosphere. Some people arent impressed with the food, but we havent had a bad meal there once. Its a must do for us.
 
We like Teppan Edo for the atmosphere and food, San Angel for the atmosphere more than food, and Rose and Crown. My kids have eaten at Biergarten and enjoyed it, but I have yet to make it in there.

We always eat at Le Cellier as well, but I know that's two TS credits.

Another option if you are looking for something in the area, but not in the WS, is to head over to the Epcot resort area - Cape May does a clambake and there are places to eat at the Boardwalk (we've only eat at FFC, but there are other places as well).
 

Biergarten is a must for our family because dh loves it.

Via Napoli is another fave.

This trip, I'm also adding Les Chefs and Teppan Edo based on reviews.

We've also done akershus, but were not impressed.
 
Okay Biergarten, San Angel Inn, and Via Napoli Win for now. I might fit another one in if I am lucky, if so, I will add Teppan Edo for now.

I didn't choose Chefs de France because I will have pastries in Boulangerie Patisserie.

So right now I have VN, SAI, and Biergarten. So now which one for lunch, and which two for dinner? I will do TE for lunch if I add it in.

Via napoli and chefs de france are both awesome.

We also like tutto italia and teppan edo.

Walk out of the International Gateway and over to Cape May Clambake at the Beach Club. It is very close to Epcot and the buffet is delicious. It is our favorite restaurant. You will get a great value here when using the dining plan, since this buffet is at the top of the price range. :)
 
Rose and Crown does an awesome fish and chips that my kids love..also, the tables are big and not sp close together..we also love ViaNapoli..again, my kids love the pizza.

I'll answer the question above without trying to change your mind on where to go, as you seem to have been agonizing over your choices for a long time :goodvibes...(http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2990207)

I would do SAI for lunch if for no other reason that if you tour Future World in the morning, you can hit SAI right around lunch time without having to back-track. Getting to Mexico around lunch time is sort of a natural fit, given most people's touring patterns. VN is virtually indistinguishable as between lunch and dinner, and Biergarten offers a bit more for dinner than it does for lunch. So the best bang for your credit there is to do the upgraded dinner, even though dinner is only a modest upgrade. So if you lock Biergarten in for dinner, that leaves VN and SAI as lunch options. Doesn't matter too much, except that Italy is a longer walk that kills time if you are rushing to make your ADR.
 
Trepan good food my kids always wanted to go there. They do cute things on grill splash mt. volcano, Mickey ears stuff like that. Also chef good food and they do a cute thing with talking rattatuie. Have fun

I really liked Chefs de France. One of our best meals last trip. Biergarten is fun for the entertainment, but I didn't think the food was fantastic. Teppan Edo, the food is good and the entertainment is good, but if you have a Japanese hibachi restaurant near you, I would skip it. We loved Tutto Italia last trip, but they ditched the dish I adored (shrimp and Parmesan risotto) so we won't be going back anytime soon. We are going to Via Napoli this trip instead.

JimmyV, you are right, I have been going back and forth on this for almost a year now. But Yeah, I will go with your idea. I will do Biergarten, and Via Napoli for dinner, because they are at the other side of the park, and I am doing future world in the morning, and yeah about lunch time, I plan to, hit mexico pavilion. Also Via Napoli has huge mezzo metro pizzas that probably will be too much for lunch.
