Which restaurant at Epcot

[Li_loves_grumpy]

Hi!

Wanted some suggestions on which restaurant at Epcot is good to watch IllumiNations from? My friends and I are trying to plan our ADRs and want to pick a restaurant in Epcot where we can watch this from and have a good meal!

Thanks in advance for your suggestions/opinions

The Rose and Crown offers the best view of Illuminations while dining

I agree with pp on Rose and Crown--and we have always enjoyed our meal there. You can request at the podium when you arrive for your ADR and outside table. HOWEVER, there is no guarantee you will get one. However, there is a special seating area that you can go to sit and watch the show and then go back in and finish your meal.

Rose and Crown offers the greatest chance of getting a good view of the show from your table: About 30% of the patrons are lucky enough to have such a table. As KatMark pointed out, you don't know in advance whether you'll be lucky or not. They don't let folks wait for a good table any longer, and if you don't take the first table they offer to you, you don't get seated that evening.

If you really want a guaranteed great seat, check into a dinner Illuminations Cruise. I don't know if they still do those. Great option; very expensive.

You can have a really good meal all around the World Showcase but the only one on the water is Rose & Crown. We usually have dinner between 6-8 and then grab dessert/coffee/drinks after to have while we watch Illuminations
