Need help choosing in epcot please

[TeacherDL]

I have one more table service to choose. It is a family of four with two girls ages 12 and 6. It needs to be 1 table service on the dining plan. We are already doing the princess one in epcot. ANy recommendations? Thanks in advance!

My kids enjoy San Angel Inn at Mexico. Dining under the stars and seeing the boats from the ride pass by make it fun but if you are on the DDP, I recommend Le Cellier Steakhouse in Canada. It is fantastic

BUT Le Cellier soon switches from 1 TS to a 2 TS Signature for dinner; OP could only use 1 credit there at lunchtime.

Does your family like seafood? If so, either Coral Reef in Epcot or the dinnertime, non-character Cape May buffet at the Beach Club resort, which is a short walk or boat ride from Epcot. You can go to a resort and come back to the same park on the same day without a Park Hopper ticket.

Another fun family restaurant in Epcot is the Biergarten in Germany. Also a non-character buffet; good food and periodic entertainment (oom-pah-pah band plays, kids get up and dance).

We love eating in the International restaurants in World Showcase. We get hoppers, just so we can go back to Epcot for dinner several nights of our trip.
I would recommed Teppan Edo for your family. The food is delicious and the chefs entertain as the grill right at your table.
Here and at Biergarden you will be seated with other guests, if that matters to you. The tables are for 8.
I was disappointed in Biergarden last trip, and I won't be returning soon. The line to check in at the podium was 45 minutes and then we waited to be seated. I felt the food was not great, and the entertainment was much briefer than I expected.
We also like Restaurant Marakkesh in Morrocco. There is a Belly Dancer and band that entertain during dinner and the dancer invites young ones up near the end of the performance.
Rose & Crown is also good, but no special entertainment for your children.
Enjoy

My DH and I ate at Via Napoli last trip. We had pizza and salad, it was delicious.

Many are concerned about the food selection but there are options there for everyone. The oompah band adds a little entertainment too.

We have 2 girls ages 9 and 6 and have gone a few times to both Chefs de France and Tutto Italia. DH & I love Tutto Italia so I would sugges that one...however Chefs was really good as well.

My DD8 and DD10 loved Teppan Edo when we ate there in November. It was one of their favorite meals of our entire trip, both for the food and the overall atmosphere. This was the first time that they had eaten at a Japanese restaurant and they enjoyed the "show" that the chef put on while cooking our meal as well as the meal itself. (Even my picky DD8 will eat rice and chicken). It was a unique and memorable dining experience for them.

I didn't think Teppan Edo was covered under the regular dining plan???
Am I wrong? I hope so!

We ate at Via Napoli last week and it was YUMMY! The pizza was amazing, the kids gobbled it up and so did we. And the atmosphere was really nice.

My kids enjoy Rose and Crown, and we usually try to have a snack and hold out for a late dinner (8:00 or so) and stay to see Illuminations at 9:30. Ask for seating on the outside patio and you will have a wonderful view. The kids especially love the make your own sundae dessert!

Teppan Edo ended up being our favorite this trip - so much better than Le Cellier that we cancelled our second ADR at Le C and walked up at TE. We ended up eating there 2 days in a row! REALLY GOOD!

It is covered, and it's a great use of the plan. I think our lunch for 4 would have cost around $150, but it was only 1 TS credit each.

Coral Reef! the view of the tank is amazing, the food is pretty good. The kids will love seeing the Giant fish and sea turtles swim by!

 

[steamboat_rachel]

i would base it more off what kind of food your kids like..if they like mexican, san angel is great! via napoli has good pizza but very mixed reviews for everything else. germany has tons of options and live entertainment, too!

 

[fairestoneofall]

Biergarten is a favorite of my family.

 

[tipsytrtle]

I'd say Biergarten or Rose and Crown!
