Tell me the best 1TS non-buffet restaurant in Epcot!

[disneydreamkate]

I realize it's all very subjective, but we are stumped for our last reservation! The three of us are vegetarians, but have always been happy how we've been accommodated, so it doesn't have to be a restaurant necessarily known for providing tons of options, although I don't want to go anywhere that we will very very limited options. This is what I have so far.

1/31 Arrival day. We will get to MK at about 3:00pm. Tony's Town Square (I know this has had very mixed reviews, but we would like to eat in the park as it's our first night there)

2/1 MK in the morning and Epcot in the afternoon. 'Ohana 7:35

2/2 DHS morning and AK in the afternoon. Sci Fi OOP 11:30am
Boma 7:30pm

2/3 Epcot Day. This is the day we need help with for dinner! We were going to eat at Biergarten, but would rather not do another buffet. So, I'm listening to any and all advice!

2/4 MK in the evening. CRT 4:10pm.

2/5 Departure day. Crystal Palace 11:30am

How about Teppan Edo? We loved it- super fun and lots of veggie options!

If you are vegetarians, I would go with Tutto. They have very good pasta dishes.

Tutto is a good one because there are many vegetarian pasta dishes to choose from. Also, Via Napoli would be good for the same reasons but also for their vegetarian pizzas. Lastly, La Hacienda de San Angel has plenty of vegetarian options as well.

Thank you all. I could not get an ADR at Le Cellier. We decided on this trip last month...and I have been trying everyday for an opening there. We can, however, get in to Tutto! I was looking at the menu last night, and it looks like they have some delicious options! How would the atmosphere be for a five year old boy?

Tutto is OK for kids (I mean, it's Disney); Via Napoli a bit less "stuffy" and probably a tad better for a 5 yr old.

I noticed you have an ADR for Ohana....you know it's basically meat on sticks, right? Not a good choice for a vegetarian

Have fun planning your trip.

DS18 went there for the first time when he was 7 and LOVED it! It's his Fave DW TS ands he insists on going every trip.

We did 'Ohana last year and loved the vegetarian options. We ate the salad, bread, noodles, and tempura veggies and tofu over rice. We had more than enough food! My older two, who eat meat, loved what they ate...and for my DH, it was one of his favorite meals of the trip.

Thank you! I'll be sure to be *extra prepared with stuff for his to do. We'll be shopping in WS that day, so maybe he'll find a little something to keep him occupied through dinner.

You cant go wrong with Le Cellier. Good food an larg enough menu where everyone should be able to find the perfect dish!

We're vegetarians and ate at both restaurants during our most recent visit. Go for Chefs de France. Tutto Italia actually didn't have as many vegetarian dishes as it may seem. When we were there, the chef actually came out, spoke with us, then looked over his own menu, and concluded that the only item on the menu was a mushroom ravioli (which tasted horrible, by the way). The alternative options he gave were pretty inadequate... apparently a lot of things are pre-prepped (as you'd imagine) and made with chicken stock.

Chefs de France, on the other hand, had several good choices, and were even amenable to making the mushroom risotto with vegetable stock (which they had on-hand, something that apparently Tutto didn't that night, or perhaps ever?) instead of chicken stock.

Might not make a difference, but I've read that the chef that was at Ohana who was so veggie friendly isn't there anymore (moved to 1900 Park Fare). That said, it seems you got the "normal" stuff there. The famed chef would make up extremely creative things for vegetarians on the nights he worked there, I've read.


Have you looked at Marrakesh, by the way? I bought a couscous and vegetables meal there (take-out, which was only because I had stupidly promised my son couscous, but all Tangierine had was couscous salad with other stuff in it, and it was a pretty big exception on the part of the Marrakesh people) that was decent...not sure what else they have there, but it might be worth a peek at the menu, assuming it's a 1TS meal.

Hi! We were just there a couple of weeks ago with 10yo, 8yo & 1yo, and went to Tutto Italia. We all enjoyed it well enough, and the staff was all very good! We went on the DxDP, and the total (before putting it on the plan) was $178 for 4 of us! So just know you'll be spending *lots* on the tip! The food was pretty good (though we didn't really care for the appetizer options).

Loved La Hacienda. I'm not sure about vegetarian options, but everything we ate there last month was delicious, and my kids highly enjoyed their tacos and dessert.

If you go to Via Napoli, good lucky with their vegetarian dishes, because their non-vegetarian dishes were terrible.

You should also consider Kouzzina at the Boardwalk Inn, although not inside of EPCOT it is a short 5 minute walk from the International Gateway and offers some very well designed dishes with lots of nicely seasoned veggies. I've been a professional chef and restaurant manager and really think that that location does a great job.
