Where Should I Eat at Epcot

[disneyfav4ever]

I am planning on having three TS lunches at Epcot during my upcoming trip, where do you recommend eating?

Hmmm...do you have kids? We loved the Garden Grill. We are very food picky...and we thought the food and atmosphere were great. It was actually peaceful, serene, and our kids, aged 12 though 2, loved the character interaction. We're going back on our next trip.

My second vote would be for Le Cellier, though!

What type of food/atmosphere do you like? Do you need/want characters? Are you adventurous with your dining or do you like tried and true?

 

[disneyfav4ever]

I have no kids, but I do enjoy character meals, but I am already doing five character breakfasts at CRT, CP, Akershus, Ohana, and Donald's Safari, if I stick with my plan right now.

I also have eaten at several of the World Showcase restaurants before, but only Le Cellier and Akershus in the last year, though I'm pretty sure I'm going to be booking a lunch at Le Cellier no matter what, it's really the other two I'm up in the air about.

If you're looking for a great meal, try the new restaurant in Italy. OMG, the food was excellent. Definitely a huge leap from its former self (Alfredo's). From appetizer to dessert, all of us had a DELICIOUS meal (but it was expensive).

Oh man! The food at Le Cellier is better, however I felt as if we were being rushed and it was over-crowded. The service at Coral Reef was WONDERFUL! We had the sweetest waiter! And the food was pretty good, too!

I am going to be on the deluxe DDP, so cost is not an issue.

Great! I highly recommend this place. Have fun!

Le Cellier and the Biergarten would be my top two in Epcot, always.

 

[disneyfav4ever]

I've never been to Biergarten, so maybe I'll go there. I've also never been to Japan's or Italy's restaurants.

LeCellier is my favorite and so I voted for that but I had a great experience at Marrakesh and Coral Reef.

Is Bistro on the deluxe plan?

I don't believe it is, that's why I didn't list it on the poll. I have eaten at both Marrakesh and Coral Reef before, but not for years, so I'd consider one of those. Though I'd probably go to Coral Reef again before Marrakesh, I was dissapointed with the service there, and I liked the food better at Coral Reef.

If you want characters I'd go with Garden Grill but for food I'd choose Biergarten. We love that place and it's atmosphere.

I'm more concerned with food at this point, since I'm pretty sure I'm already doing five other character meals, two princess, two with Mickey and friends, and one Pooh.

For lunch Biergarten is awesome. We were very happy to have a nice place to dine, especially after our Boma disappointment. Other places we liked for lunch were CS at Morocco.

Have a great time!

I voted for Le Cellier. I love dinner at Rose and Crown, but hate their lunch menu. You might want to compare the luch menus to the dinner menus if you haven't tried luch at any of your options.

 

[pooh2001]

I wish I could voet for more than one - All three !
Here they are - our must do's:

Garden Grill (we do dinner)

Coral Reef (we do lunch)

Le Cellier (we do lunch or dinner, depending our our schedule)

The best meal we had over a two week trip in September was at Tutto Italia! Waaayyyyyy overpriced, but we were on the DDP! Everything we had was absolutely outstanding and the service was beyond impeccable. They treated our two DD's (8 and 10) like royalty, answered every question expertly, and generally made it a fantastic experience!

Bistro not on the plan,hard to get an adr for that,and window seats.don't count on that!

I would really like to eat at Bistro someday, but I knew it wasn't included on the DDP, so didn't include it on my poll. I also don't like that they only take ADRs 30 days in advance, since I'm one of those people who like to plan and make ADRs 180 days in advance.
