Where will you never eat again in Epcot

[FunnyLady1966]

Planning our trip and while I've eaten at quite a few of the major places in Epcot, I am curious where folks absolutely won't go back to.

Went to Via Napoli for the first time a few weeks ago. It wasn't all that. No need to go back.

And Chefs de France has noticeable slipped. Much smaller menu and definitely not what it once was.

I wouldn't rule out any restaurants, but I wouldn't get a Grey Goose slushie in France again. I know this is a beloved drink, but I thought it was an overpriced Slurpee with no alcohol in it. And it is in the tiniest plastic cup.

I've seen pictures where it is piled high in the cup but mine wasn't like that. Meager portion. No alcohol. Fail. (I think I even said something to the server like, 'that's it?' because I'm like that. But they didn't fill it any higher.) The latest price I saw is $14.50 plus tax.

Via Napoli is an absolute must do for us. For us at Epcot we will never go back to The Odyssey.

Coral Reef. The food is really mediocre, especially for how much you are paying. I have never had a good meal there but obviously YMMV. You are really only paying for the atmosphere and even then you are not at all guaranteed a seat near the aquarium.

I would also say Teppan Edo. Not because of the food quality (it's pretty good) but it's REALLY expensive and I'm not the biggest fan of sitting with strangers at the same table. You can get the same or even better food at your local hibachi restaurant or even at Kobe Steakhouse on International Drive.

Space 220 is also a one and done for me. Food is way overpriced for what you're actually getting. Drinks are neat initially but taste wise they're meh. The atmosphere isn't even that cool beyond the initial "launch" to space.

Never is a long time. But on my list of places not to return to unless there are significant improvements include Coral Reef & Le Cellier.

Le Creperie de Paris - the food was meh and it's the only time we've ever had bad service at a WDW table service. There's too many other great places to eat to settle for meh.

Space 220 - The price is insane and we all know it. I'm ok with an insane Disney upcharge and only pre-fixe options but the food has to be good (not even great). Or the drinks have to be good enough that I don't care about the food. This place has neither.

I think I learned myself a lesson last trip in trying new restaurants too soon.

This is a tough one, there are some many great places to eat, that if I don't have a great experience I just go somewhere else.

FRANCE! Chefs de France
Food was ok at best.
But the server was rude. He couldn't figure out how to use the dinning plan. The manager just insisted we pay and take it up with Disney later.


The Coral reef has slipped into the Meh category to.... It was a family favorite for 10 about 5 years ago, the menu changed and it became a skip it and we haven't been back.


San Angel Inn Restaurante (Inside the ride) the one out side is amazing!

I don't remember the food, but it is just to dark and cold inside.

Now if you want a list of amazing places to eat..... That is a lot easier

Yakitori House ridiculously over priced for the portions you get.

 

[Kae]

Le Cellier just ok for me. We have great Steakhouses by me & DH & DS cook way better steaks.

I agree!!! I had it during Wine and Food Fest and it was gross!

Now that is sad about Chef's de France...always a fav of mine.

Never tried The Odyssey...

I have had ressies for CR several times and at the last minute changed my mind. I never regretted it as I've heard it was meh so many times.

The only thing I have ever seen in the Odyssey was an episode of buddy the cake boss.....
Do they only serve food in the summer

The Odyssey used to be a quick service next to Test Track. The building is still there, but no longer a quick service meal site. Food was Meh

I did Le Cellier once and it was good but NOT worth the money we spent AND we waited an HOUR past our reservations and missed Illuminations. I was NOT happy.

Good to know because I've always wanted to try it.

Agreed. We paid a LOT of money for Le Cellier and it didn't WOW us at all.

There are no Nevers on my list.
Also, I would love to go to Space 220 again if I can get a reservation.
