EPCOT Dining Guide: Best Restaurants, Quick Service, Snacks

Whenever anyone thinks of Disney World's EPCOT, they often think of the food and drinks you can find at this large, 300 acre theme park. EPCOT is dedicated to the celebration of human development and international culture, including many restaurants and cuisine paying tribute to eleven countries around the world throughout the World Showcase.

Not only does EPCOT have some of our favorite attractions, but it is the absolute best park when it comes to food and drinks at Disney World. EPCOT has the most restaurants of any Disney World theme park, and they also hold several festivals throughout the year which have unique food and drink booths for guests to enjoy.

In this ultimate EPCOT dining guide, we will go over all of the restaurants, snack options, and festivals where you can enjoy this amazing food. We visit EPCOT monthly and have lots of great recommendations on where you should eat! This includes casual dining, quick service restaurants, fine dining, and character meals.

Be sure to also check out our guide to the best Disney World restaurants ranked for our top recommendations across the resort!

EPCOT Table Service Restaurants

EPCOT has the most table service restaurants at any theme park in Disney World, and there are some great options serving various cuisines for everyone in your party. We always recommend making reservations at any table service restaurant at Disney World as they tend to be very busy throughout the day. You can make dining reservations up to 60 days in advance through the My Disney Experience website or mobile app. You can also call (407) 939-7529 to book your next table service dining reservation.

All of the EPCOT table service restaurants include:

• Biergarten Restaurant
• Chefs de France
• Coral Reef Restaurant
• La Crêperie de Paris
• La Hacienda de San Angel
• Le Cellier Steakhouse
• Monsieur Paul
• Nine Dragons Restaurant
• Rose & Crown
• San Angel Inn Restaurante
• Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya
• Space 220
• Spice Road Table
• Takumi-Tei
• Teppan Edo
• Tutto Italia Ristorante
• Via Napoli Restorante e Pizzeria

These restaurants range from casual dining, buffets, to extremely upscale dining experiences that are great for special occasions. Below we will detail all of these amazing restaurants including our own personal reviews!

Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya

Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya is EPCOT's newest table-service restaurant located within the Japan Pavilion of the World Showcase. This new dining experience captures the essence of Japan's essential festivals with each month bringing a new celebration to the restaurant. The dining festival experiences include “hanging tanzaku to celebrate Tanabata in July to savoring moon-viewing dumplings in September” with a cultural representative from Japan guiding guests through the experience. The atmosphere celebrates these festivals of Japan with beautiful hand painted artwork and lanterns. The full menu features favorites like sushi and teppan items with an open sushi bar and grill.

This restaurant is located on the second floor of the Japan pavilion offering great views of EPCOT, the World Showcase Lagoon, and the evening fireworks. Shiki-Sai is open for lunch and dinner, and meals typically range between $15 and $34.99 per person. However, Shiki-Sai also offers a $300 sushi boat! Although we've never tried this first hand, it is advertised as serving 4-6 individuals and includes a premium assortment of sushi and shashimi in a boat presentation.

Space 220 Restaurant and Lounge

Space 220 is a prix fixe, fine dining restaurant located next to the Mission: SPACE attraction. This restaurant has more than just great food, it's a truly immersive experience that transports guests to outer space! Guests board a “space elevator” that transports them to 220 miles above the Earth in the Centauri Space Station. As you look out the windows of this dining experience, you will see spectacular views from space and the Earth below.

Space 220 is open for lunch and dinner and reservations are absolutely necessary to enjoy this restaurant. The lunch price is $55 per adult and includes an appetizer and entrée. The kid's pricing for lunch is $29 per child and includes an entrée, dessert, and drink. If you make a dinner reservation, it is $79 per adult and includes an appetizer, entrée, and dessert. The kid's dinner costs $35 per child and includes an appetizer, entrée, dessert, and drink. None of these prices include tax and gratuity. Our favorite entrées include the Space Pad Thai, Slow Rotation Zero-G Short Rib, and Galactic Miso Salmon!

If you are unable to make a reservation, we recommend trying to grab a table at the Space 220 lounge. It offers the same “space elevator” experience, and has most of the menu items without paying the flat prix fixe price. There are no reservations for the lounge and it is first come, first served. Typically they also have a walkup list available where you can receive a text when there is a table available.

Overall, we think Space 220 is worth the hype, and if you can snag a reservation you won't regret it!

Coral Reef Restaurant

The Coral Reef Restaurant offers spectacular views of a living coral reef and ocean-fresh specialties for lunch and dinner. Guests can enjoy coconut fried shrimp, surf and turf, seafood boil, and many other seafood dishes. This restaurant is known for delicious desserts that include pineapple-coconut bread pudding. Prices range from $15 to $34.99 per adult and as always, reservations are highly recommended.

Although I think there are many other better table service restaurants at EPCOT, Coral Reef offers amazing views of the Seas aquarium which can be a unique experience on your next trip to Disney World.

Teppan Edo

Teppan Edo offers guests a front seat where Teppan chefs cook traditional Japanese dishes right at their table.  Guests can choose from steak, chicken, seafood and vegetable entrées, as well as teriyaki chicken, assorted sushi rolls, tempura and edamame.

Teppan Edo is open for brunch and dinner, and the average prices of meals range between $15 and $34.99 per adult, unless you opt for the $120 Wagyu steak strip! There are also kids menu options priced at $26 or below per child.

Overall, Teppan Edo is a classic hibachi style restaurant that serves amazing food that we love to enjoy. The only downside to this restaurant is the similarities between typical hibachi chains seen throughout the US, and although there are some Disney themes, doesn't really present a unique Disney restaurant feel.

Spice Road Table

The Spice Road Table offers a picturesque waterfront view from the Morocco Pavilion while guests dine on Mediterranean small plates and specialty entrées during lunch and dinner. The average meal at Spice Road Table typically ranges between $15 and $34.99 per person. There is no kids menu at Spice Road Table, however their menu features a variety of small plates which are shareable between groups of people, which eliminates the need for a kids menu.

Their menu offers spicy spicy shrimp, fried calamari, naan spreads, and grilled lamb kefta. Spice Road Table also offers a dessert platter which includes an assortment of Moroccan pastries. Those dining at night may have an opportunity to watch EPCOT's nighttime spectacular, Luminous: The Symphony of Us.

La Hacienda de San Angel

La Hacienda de San Angel is a waterfront retreat that offers authentic Mexican cuisine and premium margaritas with Old World hospitality. This unique restaurant makes their own corn tortillas daily and also offers fresh salsas.  Guests can also enjoy handcrafted margaritas, Mexican beer, South American wines, and premium tequilas.

This beautiful Mexican restaurant is open for guests during dinner only (4-9 PM), and prices typically average between $15 and $34.99 per adult, however there are several house specialties ranging from $42 to $120 per meal. There is also a kids menu ranged from $16 and under per child.

La Hacienda de San Angel is an often overlooked restaurant that has incredible views and food. It is one of our favorite restaurants at EPCOT that we highly recommend!

San Angel Inn Restaurante

San Angel Inn Restaurante is modeled after a 17th-century hacienda guests would see at the base of Mayan ruins. Guests will feel like they are dining in twilight at this unique Mexican restaurant. This restaurant is conveniently located inside the Mexico Pavilion, and can be easily seen by guests riding the Three Caballeros boat ride attraction.

Their menu offers steak, chicken and fish entrées served with such sauces as chipotle pepper, chocolaty mole and green tomatillo. Guests 21 and older can purchase a variety of margaritas and premium tequilas. Prices range from $15 to $34.99 per adult, and reservations are recommended.

Although the food may be better at La Hacienda de Angel, the San Angel Inn Restaurante is amazing for it's overall ambiance and still has great options if you can grab a reservations during your next trip to EPCOT!

Tutto Italia Ristorante

Tutto Italia Ristorante offers authentic Italian cooking during lunch and dinner. Guests can dine outdoor on the patio, or inside where there are murals of ancient Rome and beautiful chandeliers.

The menu includes grilled salmon, chicken parmigiana, and grilled NY steak. Desserts include some of the best Italian treat such as tiramisu and cannolis! Typically the prices here range between $15 and $34.99 per adult with kids menu items priced at $11 and under per child.

For the overall value, Tutto Italia Ristorante is a great option for those looking for an authentic Italian meal at Disney World!

Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria

Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria offers guests a taste of Southern Italy. This family-friendly restaurant and pizzeria offers hearty pastas, fresh salads and pizzas baked in wood-burning ovens. In fact, this restaurant serves our favorite pizza in all of Disney World!

Via Napoli is open for lunch and dinner, and prices typically range between $15 and $34.99 per adult. They also serve some of our favorite alcoholic drinks including the Limoncello flight and Sicilian sunset which is made of vodka, orangecello, orange juice, and pineapple juice over shaved ice. The kids menu includes classic Italian dishes priced at $11.50 and under per child.

Via Napoli is our favorite Italian restaurant at EPCOT, especially if you are in the mood for some amazing pizza and drinks! This is always a highly recommended spot that is very unlikely to disappoint!

Biergarten

Found inside EPCOT's Germany Pavilion, Biergarten is the only buffet style restaurant in theme park. Biergarten celebrates Oktoberfest all year long with authentic German food as well as lively entertainment on the restaurant's main stage. The restaurant has a true German feel to it, and is one of my favorite restaurant themes.

Biergarten is open for lunch and dinner, with costs priced at $49 per adult and $27 per child for both meals. The buffet includes all you can eat rotisserie chicken, traditional sausages, potatoes, schnitzels, and assorted desserts. I also love to grab a German beer when I dine at Biergarten, my favorite being the Schöfferhofer Grapefruit Hefeweizen or the German beer flight.

Although I personally enjoy this restaurant, many decide against it if they don't enjoy German food. Additionally, if you're looking to snack on the various booths and other restaurant throughout EPCOT, you may want to avoid getting too full at a buffet-style restaurant such as Biergarten.

Chefs de France

While walking through the France Pavilion, it is usually easy to spot guests dining at Chefs de France through their large glass windows. This table service restaurant offers French cuisine in a family-friendly brasserie overlooking the World Showcase promenade.

Chefs de France is open for lunch and dinner with the average price ranging between $15 and $34.99 per adult, and kids entrées ranging from $13.95 and under. There is also a prix fixe option for $65.95 that includes one appetizer, entrée, dessert, and one glass of wine or non alcoholic beverage.

We love the location and views of this restaurant along with favorite dishes including French onion soup, ratatouille, and braised beef in Cabernet with linguine. We highly recommend this restaurant, especially if there are reservations available.

Monsieur Paul

Located just upstairs from Les Chefs de France is Monsieur Paul, one of EPCOT's most expensive table service restaurants. Monsieur Paul is only open for dinner, and reservations are absolutely necessary for this unique dining experience.

Monsieur Paul offers a new prix fixe menu starting at $195 per person which includes a starter cocktail, appetizer, fish course, palate cleanser, meat course, cheese, main dessert, and assorted mini desserts served with a Digestif cocktail. Although pricey, you cannot find many, if any, comparable fine dining experiences throughout all of Disney World!

Takumi-Tei

Another relatively unknown fine dining restaurant is Takumi-Tei, located in the Japan Pavilion. Takumi-Tei offers a prix fixe dinner menu, priced at $250 per adult or $150 per adult for a plant-based menu. There is also a kid's option that costs $100 per child ages 8-12. These large meals include multiple appetizers, sashimi, sushi, and choice of A5 wagyu steak, roasted duck, or grilled Chilean seabass. Similar to Monsieur Paul, Takumi-Tei would be a great spot for a special occasion!

Le Cellier Steakhouse

For another fine dining experience, we absolutely love Le Cellier Steakhouse, found in the Canada Pavilion. This restaurant serves delicious Canadian cuisine including fire-grilled steaks, seafood, and cheesy poutine fries. This beautiful restaurant is inspired by grand château-style hotels from the late 1800s and early 1990s.

Meals at Le Cellier are on the higher end, ranging between $35 and $60 per adult, and kids meals priced at $19 and under. Le Cellier also offers an exquisite assortment of featured and dessert wines such as the Le Cellier ice wine flight, as well as Canadian coffee with Brown Jug bourbon Cream and an assortment of beers.

Le Cellier is one of the best table service restaurants in EPCOT, and therefore we highly recommend making a reservation and trying them out especially for your next special occasion!

Nine Dragons Restaurant

Nine Dragons is a beautiful Chinese restaurant serving Cantonese, Mongolian, Szechuan, Hunan and Kiangche-style specialties for lunch and dinner.

Their meals average between $15 and $34.99 per adult, with the kids menu ranging from $13 and under. Nine Dragons also serves strawberry-red bean or caramel-ginger ice cream for dessert which is absolutely worth it!

If you're in the mood for dumplings, honey sesame chicken, spare ribs, and other classic Asian cuisine, we highly recommend Nine Dragons!

Rose & Crown

Last, but certainly not least, is the Rose & Crown Dining Room located in the UK Pavilion. This traditional British pub-style restaurant is open for dinner and serves fish and chips, bangers and mash, and shepherd's pie (made with ground beef). The typical meal ranges between $15 and $34.99 per adult with two kids entrées each priced at $15.50. There is also a full service pub serving British beers, ciders, scotch, and signature cocktails.

Rose & Crown offers inside and outdoor seating overlooking the World Showcase lagoon and is a great option for table service dining at EPCOT!

EPCOT Quick Service Restaurants

If you don't have time or the budget for table service restaurants, EPCOT has several great quick-service options. Quick-service restaurants do not require reservations, however on busier park days it may take a while for your food to be prepared. If possible, we always recommend using the My Disney Experience app to mobile order meals at quick service restaurants because it is usually a lot faster than waiting in line and for your food to be prepared. Although indoor seating is not guaranteed or always provided with quick service restaurants, they are convenient and low cost options.

EPCOT's quick service restaurants include:

• Connections Eatery: offers a variety of cuisines for lunch and dinner such as pizza, burgers, salads, and desserts.
• Katsura Grill: is located in the Japan Pavilion and is one of my favorite quick service restaurants at EPCOT. They offer Asian cuisine during lunch and dinner including delicious ramen, sushi, and teriyaki. It has a beautiful outdoor seating location near Koi fish ponds.

EPCOT Bars and Lounges

EPCOT also sets itself apart from other theme parks because it has a variety of bars and lounges for guests over 21 to enjoy. You do not need to be 21 to enter these lounges, especially as they typically also serve light appetizers and non-alcoholic drinks. However these are also popular spots for guests of EPCOT.

The bars and lounges at EPCOT include:

EPCOT Festival Booths

Aside from the dozens of restaurants and snack kiosks at EPCOT, you can also find specialty booths during EPCOT's four amazing festivals!

EPCOT's International Food & Wine Festival runs from August to November. Guests can “taste their way around the world” with many special food and drink booths throughout this season. Besides the delicious food, there are additional special events such as the Eat to the Beat concert series, Remy's Ratatouille Hide and Squeak Scavenger Hunt, and more!

EPCOT's International Festival of the Arts takes place between January and February each year. Guests can enjoy the Disney on Broadway Concert Series, art galleries including the popular Chalk Art exhibit, festival food booths, performance art, and guest workshops. This is one of my favorite festivals especially because the weather in central Florida is usually pretty mild during this time of year.

Lastly, EPCOT's International Festival of the Holidays is one of many special Christmas events at Disney World and runs between late November and December. Guests can enjoy seasonal Holiday booths around the World Showcase in addition to the famous Candlelight Processional.
