Where to Eat at Epcot for Lunch

[B.B. Sots]

BUT given the princess interaction the food is more than good enough

Fair Enough.. My girls are coming out of the Princess phase.. But still get starry eyed near the characters.. as do I

With kid's the ages of yours I know I would personally switch to Chef's for lunch to see Remy. My whole family still talks about how awesome that was. The pics we have are PRICELESS!

Overall experiences (not always perfect food but a big wow factor) I would consider Coral Reef, Biergarten, San Angel, Marrakesh or Teppan Edo (unless you have good hibachi at home that you frequent). For just the food factor and not considering much else I would go with Via Napoli (that is not to say that it is not GORGEOUS inside...it is) and I think many would recommend La Hacienda (which does give some a view of Illuminations at night). We had to miss our ADR there because of an injury but will be trying in the spring.

have to admit.. I was sad to find out Remy is not part of the Dinner service anymore. Chef's is a minor tradition for us.. we loved the food the last time we went.

Thanks everyone for your input!

I kinda like a quiet atmosphere when I'm eating...too much noise can cause a meal to go down sideways so we like Tuttos. It's very pretty, tends to be quiet though that depends on who is dining at the same time you are, and the service was second to none.

We enjoyed the Coral Reef. It was cool and relaxing. One whole wall is an aquarium and everyone enjoyed watching the fish going by and the scuba diver waving to them.

I really appreciate all the feedback.. We are reading up on all the mentions on this thread!

I've had TS lunch at lots of places in Epcot. My two favorites for atmosphere are Coral Reef and Le Chefs de France. Coral Reef is much less hectic at lunch than at dinner. But the last time I was there, I had chicken with bacon, and it was kind of salty. At Chefs de France, I always ask for a table where I can see outside-it's so much fun to watch all the people walking by, and sometimes you can seem the balancing chair show

I'm so glad someone started this post!

We will be at WDW in 5 days!!!

We are on QSDP and I was wondering if you can use a meal credit at Boulangerie/patisserie for the bagette sandwich or quiche + pastry + drink?

I think I saw that someone said it was a snack.

I plan on using my snack credits that day on other things.

Any help on this would be great! Thanks!

I would choose San Angel Inn. The atmosphere can't beat for a nice, relaxing lunch. If you aren't crazy about the food, you'll still have a great dinner to look forward to. Coral Reef would also be a good choice. That way you'd have one meal in FW & one in WS.

If it is a cool and different atmosphere you're looking for, with interesting surroundings, I would definitely say San Angel or Coral Reef! Plenty there to keep the kids interested too.

Biergarten for food and atmosphere

We like Via Napoli or Teppan Edo.

Via Napoli has good pizza (maybe not excellent but solid good and much better than normal Disney ones).

Teppan Edo is like any hibatchi places you'll go but it's always entertaining and pro of hibatchi is that your food is prepared infront of you instead of sitting on heating lamp.

Those are the two DS 8 requested.

I would go with Via Napoli. We went for dinner last year and are going for lunch this year because we thought the food was very good (it must have been as we are going back).


We also love going to Chefs de France for dinner as it is like a typical restaurant in Paris which is where my hubby and I met for the first time (I know some people complain about the tables being so close together but some of the places I ate in Paris were far worse).
