Rose & Crown in the United Kingdom Pavilion in World Showcase at Epcot

Epcot Theme Park Dining Guide

Last updated:

With Future World on one side and World Showcase on the other, Epcot is all about learning and exploration. There’s something else you’re able to explore at Epcot, however, besides science, technology, and culture: food. Yes, from Epcot restaurants featuring meals made with ingredients grown in The Land Pavilion over in Future World to cuisines from across the world in World Showcase, there is no shortage of things to eat in Epcot. (Updated September 14, 2023)

Due to COVID-19, some dining options may be unavailable. Refer to the My Disney Experience app for the most up-to-date availability and to make advance reservations. 

In general, Epcot dining offers a mix of quick-service restaurants, table-service restaurants, character dining, food and drink stands, and even a few lounges. We do have a Best Restaurants at Walt Disney World guide if you’re looking for all over the resort. Here are some things to consider as you read through this guide on the best places to eat in Epcot:

Canada Pavilion in World Showcase at Epcot

  • Quick-service restaurants are casual with walk-up or mobile ordering and indoor and/or outdoor seating. Here, you pick up your food once your order is ready. A sizeable menu is provided, with options typically being less expensive than what you would find at a table service restaurant. 
  • Most table-service restaurants are still casual (this is a theme park, after all), but many offer an elevated dining experience, either with the food, setting, or both. The type of seating depends on the restaurant – some have only indoor seating, while others will have both indoor and outdoor dining available. As you can probably tell from the name, you place your order with a server and your meal is delivered directly to you. Once again, the restaurant you choose will affect your dining experience. While some options have a more relaxed atmosphere, some, like Le Cellier Steakhouse, are decidedly more upscale and considered among the best restaurants at Disney World. Meal prices also vary dramatically. 
  • Disney character dining experiences are meals with Disney characters held at table service restaurants. Usually, the characters will move from table to table signing autographs and taking photos throughout the meal. It’s a very fun way to see characters without having to wait in line for a meet-and-greet. Instead, for character dining, characters typically come to you. As a result, meals here tend to be more expensive than regular table-serving dining. 
  • Snack & drink stands offer very few items on their menus and no or little-to-no seating. Aside from snacks like popcorn and pretzels, these can also be good places to buy specialty or seasonal snacks like limited-time funnel cakes or character-inspired treats.  
  • Lounges are either attached to a restaurant or in a standalone space with seating. A few snacks may be offered, but the focus is definitely on the drinks. Drinking around the world is basically a sport at Epcot, so lines can get long. However, whether from a lounge or not, alcohol in Epcot is plentiful, so you’ll never have to look very long for a drink. 
  • You can expect almost every restaurant to have at least a few plant-based or allergy/gluten-free options. In fact, if you travel during the Festival of the Arts, Flower & Garden Festival, Food & Wine Festival or Festival of the Holidays, you’ll probably even come across a festival food booth with only plant-based options. To see what options you can enjoy before getting to the restaurant, just open the restaurant’s menu on the Disney World app and scroll to the bottom. And be sure to let a cast member know that you have a dietary restriction before or when ordering. 

Now, without any further ado, here’s our list of all the places to eat in Epcot, along with some of our favorites.

Best Epcot Restaurants

Wondering which restaurants at Epcot to try? Well, look no further. Here’s our list of the best Epcot restaurants. 

Best Table Service for Families – Teppan Edo

Determining which restaurant is the best at Epcot is a tall order. With so many different cuisines and atmospheres, it’s a challenge to decide what’s the best. Overall, when it comes to the quality of the food, the friendliness of the cast members, and the added bonus of the built-in entertainment, our pick for the best Epcot restaurant for families is Teppan Edo.

Best Table Service for Couples – La Hacienda de San Angel

Naming the best Epcot restaurant for couples is similarly difficult. From Monsieur Paul to Takumi-Tei, there are many intimate restaurants perfect for a romantic dinner. Our favorite, however, has to be La Hacienda de San Angel. The lighting is dim, the food is delicious, and the view of World Showcase Lagoon is beautiful.  

Best Quick Service – Sunshine Seasons

In contrast to table service restaurants, determining the best quick-service restaurant is a no-brainer. It’s Sunshine Seasons over at The Land. With plentiful options that are reliably tasty, many healthy, a grab-and-go cooler, and plenty of seating, this is a quick-service restaurant that’s sure to please both young and old. 

Best Character Dining – Garden Grill Restaurant 

Considering all the princesses over at Akershus Royal Dining Hall, naming Garden Grill as the best character dining at Epcot may come as a surprise. However, with its fun revolving dining room, bountiful comfort food favorites, and classic characters like Mickey, Pluto, and Chip & Dale, this character meal is sure to please, whether your kiddos are picky eaters or not.

Best Lounge – La Cava del Tequila

If you’re looking for one of the best drinks at Epcot, without a doubt, La Cava del Tequila is for you. Their margaritas are reliably delicious and interesting (avocado, anyone?), and it’s a cozy little place to sit down for a drink and some guac. Plus, what’s good enough for Neil Patrick Harris is good enough for us. 

Best Lagoon View – Spice Road Table

Many restaurants can claim a good view of World Showcase Lagoon, but we think Spice Road Table takes the cake. With its beautiful open-air seating (indoor is available too), flavorful Mediterranean-inspired small bites, and a lengthy drink menu, it’s the perfect place to soak up the afternoon or take in Harmonious once it opens.

Best Allergy & Gluten-Free – Coral Reef Restaurant

Unlike many other restaurants at Epcot, much of the menu at the Coral Reef Restaurant is already allergy & gluten-friendly. From seafood to chicken, steak, and even dessert (hello, flourless chocolate cake!), that’s a ton of options for our gluten-intolerant friends.

The Seas with Nemo and Friends at Epcot

Future World Restaurants

Connections Café | Snack & Drink Stand 

Wondering where to get your caffeine fix at the beginning of your day at Epcot? Head on over near Spaceship Earth and stop by Connections Café, also known as Starbucks, for all of your frappuccino, latte, cold brew, and iced tea needs. As you might expect, lines can get very long here throughout the day but especially in the morning, so be ready for a wait.

Connections Eatery | Quick Service Restaurant

Located in the shadow of Spaceship Earth, one of the most popular Epcot attractions, Connections Eatery serves up an approachable mix of burgers, pizzas and salads like the French Bistro Burger topped with caramelized onions, bacon and brie and the generous Generous Tso Chicken Salad. For dessert, be sure to save room for a Liege Waffle crowned with crunchy pearl sugar or a shake in flavors like apple pie or mango-coconut. Non-alcoholic and boozy beverages like beer, wine, coffee and soda are also available. 

Coral Reef Restaurant | Table Service Restaurant

Located at The Seas with Nemo & Friends, the Coral Reef Restaurant is a unique table service restaurant with views of the pavilion’s aquarium. Harissa Chicken and a 10-oz Slow-roasted Prime Rib are both on the menu here, but seafood is definitely the highlight – which, since you’re basically watching your meal swim by, is kind of awkward when you think about it. Although, you’ll probably forget about the awkwardness once you try the New England Clam Chowder, Shrimp and Grits and Seared Mahi Mahi. And be sure to save some room for The Chocolate Wave, a flourless chocolate cake with raspberry gelato. That’s right, friends, this dessert is gluten-free. Overall, the view of the coral reef is the obvious selling point here, making it a family-friendly place to grab a bite to eat in Epcot. 

Garden Grill Restaurant | Disney Character Dining

Homespun comfort food favorites and visits from Chip, Dale, Mickey, and Pluto are highlights at this revolving table service restaurant in The Land Pavilion. Guests can look out over scenes from Living With the Land as they dig into seasonal, farm-fresh dishes like Grilled Beef with Chimichurri and Berry Short Cake, all served family-style. Characters swing by to say hello throughout the meal as well. All things considered, with its wholesome dishes, character interactions, and unique rotating dining room, Garden Grill is a ton of fun for families and one of our favorite character dining experiences at Disney World. 

Inside The Land Pavilion at Epcot

Joffrey’s Coffee & Tea Company | Snack & Drink Stand

Joffrey’s is a mainstay throughout Disney World, offering up tons of hot, iced, and frozen coffee beverages and tea. Pastries are usually available as well, and kiosks will often feature seasonal drinks for a limited time. This is just a kiosk, so expect lines to get long and move slowly. Joffrey’s stands can be found in Future World, World Showcase, and near the Epcot entrance.

Space 220 Restaurant | Table Service Restaurant

Blast off into the culinary stratosphere at the Space 220 Restaurant, Epcot’s most out-of-this-world themed dining experience. Located in the Mission: SPACE Pavilion, Space 220 sends diners soaring 220 miles above Earth – with the help of a little Disney magic, of course. Drink in the stellar views as you nosh on American cuisine with a modern twist like Blue Moon Cauliflower and Rocket Flame Seared Salmon. Open for both lunch and dinner, meals are prix fixe, priced at $55 per adult for an appetizer and entree for lunch and $79 per adult for an appetizer, entree, and dessert for dinner.

Sunshine Seasons | Quick Service Restaurant

Enjoy dishes inspired by and made from the bounty of The Land Pavilion at this quick-service restaurant next to Living With the Land. Set up like a food court with several different food counters, Sunshine Seasons serves up fresh, flavorful meals like Oak-grilled Rotisserie Chicken, Oak-grilled Salmon, Strawberry Shortcake, and even a massive sandwich called The Land Crusher of pulled pork and cheese on top of garlic Texas Toast.  Abundant seating, tons of healthy or not-so-healthy options, and a grab-and-go cooler make this one of our best restaurants in Epcot. 

The Land Cart | Snack & Drink Stand

Need a place to grab a quick snack in Future World? Stop by The Land Cart outside of The Land Pavilion for healthy-ish options like a Fruit and Cheese Plate, Vegetable Plate, Hummus with Pretzels, or a Mickey Pretzel. Slushies and other fountain drinks are also available. 

Mission Space in Epcot

World Showcase Restaurants

Akershus Royal Banquet Hall – Norway | Disney Character Dining

Akershus Royal Banquet Hall has been playing host to Disney Princesses and guests long before Anna and Elsa swept into the Norway Pavilion. Disney character dining is available for breakfast, lunch, and dinner here, with guests dining on Scandinavian-inspired dishes like Norwegian Meatballs, Lefse with Cardamom-Cinnamon Butter and a salad dressed with lingonberry vinaigrette. Overall, the food might seem a bit unfamiliar here, which isn’t a bad thing by any means, but we assure you that there’s much to enjoy. Plus, with the princesses stopping by to say hello, this is a unique character dining experience for the whole family. 

Biergarten Restaurant – Germany | Table Service Restaurant

Ever wished you could eat at a traditional beer garden underneath the stars in Germany? If so, you won’t want to miss Biergarten. And even if you haven’t, you should still give it a try. From the immersive theming of a quaint Bavarian village in the moonlight and an oompah German band to the German favorites served at communal tables, this is a unique table service restaurant that’s fun for everyone. Typically buffet-style, dishes like Schnitzel, Red Cabbage, and Apple Strudel with Vanilla Sauce are currently being served family-style at Biergarten. 

Block & Hans – The American Adventure | Snack & Drink Stand

In front of The American Adventure, Block & Hans is a small kiosk serving craft beer and cider from across the United States. Mickey Pretzels with Cheese are also available. 

Chefs de France – France | Table Service Restaurant

With its beautiful mosaic flooring, an airy color scheme of cream and gold with dark wood accents, and flavorful French nouvelle cuisine, a meal at Chefs de France feels a bit like a miniature trip to Paris. Guests can choose from a prix fixe meal or a la carte options including blissfully cheesy French Onion Soup, melt-in-your-mouth Boeuf Bourguignon with linguine, and fun-to-crack Crème Brûlée. Expertly prepared French cuisine and a romantic setting make this an ideal spot for an Epcot date.

Choza de Margarita – Mexico | Snack & Drink Stand

Want a margarita but don’t want to brave the line for La Cava del Tequila? No worries, just swing by Choza de Margarita outside the Mexico Pavilion for tasty concoctions like the sweet-tart Blood Orange or The Cucumber. Snacks are also available including Tacos de Cochinita and Empanada de Barbacoa

Fife & Drum Tavern – The American Adventure | Snack & Drink Stand

According to the Disney World app, the Fife & Drum Tavern, a small food kiosk in front of The American Adventure, has “a menu commemorating all things Americana.” Which apparently means Turkey Legs, Mickey Pretzels, popcorn, a hot dog, and a Root Beer Float. This is a good stop if you have some picky eaters in need of a snack while exploring the World Showcase pavilions. 

Funnel Cake – The American Adventure | Snack & Drink Stand

Another American Adventure food kiosk, even more fried food to enjoy. This time, funnel cakes are the focus, including a Cookies n’ Cream Funnel Cake with ice cream and chocolate sauce. This snack stand also plays host to seasonal-inspired funnel cakes when the Epcot festivals are happening. 

Gelateria Toscana – Italy | Snack & Drink Stand

Needing a sugar rush to get you through the rest of your day at Epcot? Grab something sweet to eat at Gelati, a small food kiosk serving up all kinds of gelato in front of the Italy Pavilion. Get something small like a cone or try one of their special sundaes like an Espresso Affogato or the Coppa Amarena (Vanilla and amerena cherry gelatos with amaretto cookies, shaved chocolate and whipped cream.)

Snow slushies

Joy of Tea – China | Snack & Drink Stand

Sip on a cup of the world’s most popular beverage (that’s tea!) or a specialty cocktail at Joy of Tea in front of the China Pavilion. You can get some Pork and Vegetable Egg Rolls here, but we definitely think the highlight is the drinks. As you might imagine, Joy of Tea has plenty of tea, including some peach-flavored Bubble Milk Tea. However, we suggest you skip over the tea a go for a cocktail instead, like the Canto Loopy (vodka and cantaloupe juice). Better yet, try the Tipsy Ducks in Love – bourbon, coffee, black tea, cream, and chocolate syrup – for a cocktail and tea. 

Kabuki Café – Japan | Snack & Drink Stand

Enjoy Japanese-inspired snacks at the Kabuki Café in front of the Japan Pavilion. Grab something savory like California Roll sushi or edamame, something sweet like kid-friendly Kakigōri with Sweet Milk Topping (a Japanese style shaved ice), or something alcoholic like sake, beer, or plum wine. There’s even a less-kid-friendly version of the shaved ice available, the alcoholic Sake Slushy

Katsura Grill – Japan | Quick Service Restaurant

Scale the mountains of Japan (or rather, climb the steps on the left side of the Japan Pavilion) to reach Katsura Grill, a quick-service restaurant serving up Japanese classics like sushi, ramen, noodles, and rice dishes like Chicken Cutlet Curry. For something on the snack-y side, try the sticky sweet Yuzu Miso Wings. There is also a lovely, shaded seating area here, making this a relaxing spot for a meal away from the Epcot crowds. 

Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe – Norway | Quick Service Restaurant

Looking for dessert as you eat your way around the world? Stop into Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe. This quaint little bakery has an array of Norwegian treats available, like traditional Lefse, the tasty Norwegian Kringla, and the ever-popular School Bread filled with creamy custard and covered in coconut. Alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks are also available, including the Viking Coffee with Irish cream and coffee liqueur. A small, covered outdoor seating area is attached.

L’Artisan des Glaces – France | Snack & Drink Stand

Treat yourself to a scoop or two at L’Artisan des Glaces, a cute little ice cream shop tucked back in the streets of France. Stick to a simple waffle cone or dish of artisanal flavors like Caramel Fleur de Sel or Cinnamon with Caramelized Apple and Crumble Crunch, or try a handcrafted Macaron Ice Cream Sandwich or Croque Glacé, an ice cream sandwich with a toasted sweet brioche roll. Adults will enjoy the Ice Cream Martini with your choice of ice cream. As you might expect from all this deliciousness, this place can get very busy with quite long lines, which we only expect to get worse once the new Ratatouille ride opens. 

La Cantina de San Angel – Mexico | Quick Service Restaurant

Refuel on Mexican favorites like the flavorful Tacos with barbacoa beef, grilled chicken or shrimp, cheesy Empanadas con Queso, and Churros with chocolate sauce as you look out over the World Showcase Lagoon at La Cantina de San Angel. With covered outdoor seating, plenty of kid-friendly choices, an adult-friendly drink menu, and a front-row seat to the fireworks, this is quite the popular spot. If you do plan to see the nightly fireworks here, be sure to arrive very early so you can secure a seat. 

La Cava del Tequila – Mexico | Lounge

Nestled inside the Mesoamerican pyramid of the Mexico Pavilion, La Cava del Tequila is a must-go for any margarita or, of course, tequila fan. Heck, if Neil Patrick Harris considers it one of his favorite bars in the world, it’s gotta be good. For a smooth sip, be sure to try La Cava Avocado La Cava del Tequila is incredibly popular, so be prepared for long wait times. At least you’ll be in the shade and A/C while you’re waiting.

Le Cellier Steakhouse – Canada | Table Service Restaurant

Cut into one of the best steaks at Disney World at Le Cellier Steakhouse in Canada. This signature dining restaurant in the cellar of the Canada Pavilion’s towering chateau offers expertly prepared steakhouse classics and an intimate atmosphere. The Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup and Le Cellier Filet Mignon are favorites, as are the Maple Whiskey-glazed Brussels Sprouts. There are even a couple of poutine dishes available. Keep in mind that while your kids may definitely like the food here, the vibe at this signature restaurant is decidedly quieter than what they might enjoy.

Crepe shop in France Pavilion

La Crêperie de Paris – France | Quick Service & Table Service Restaurant

Savor the flavors of France at La Crêperie de Paris, the new Epcot restaurant in the France Pavilion expansion. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing lunch or something to snack on as you wander around World Showcase, La Crêperie de Paris is well worth a stop. With a menu designed by acclaimed French Chef Jérôme Bocuse and both an indoor dining room and a quick-service window, this charming restaurant has something delicious for you. Indulge in Buckwheat galettes like the Remy-inspired Ratatouille or sweet dessert crepes stuffed with fruits.

La Hacienda de San Angel – Mexico | Table Service Restaurant

There are many things that can make a great dining experience, such as food, atmosphere, view, or entertainment. Fortunately, the waterfront La Hacienda de San Angel has it all. Overlooking World Showcase Lagoon, this table service restaurant dishes out cuisine inspired by Southern Mexico like the Alambre de Res Flank Steak, the unique Sweet Corn Ice Cream, and the delicious Queso Fundido. There’s truly something here for everyone, with plenty of tasty appetizers and drinks for groups, dim lighting for date night, and kid-friendly options for families. If you want to see the Epcot fireworks from here, be sure to plan your reservation accordingly. 

Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie – France | Quick Service Restaurant

One of the best things about wandering the streets of Paris is coming across little patisseries serving baguettes so delicious you’ll gladly throw out your no-carb diet for. Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie offers the same at Epcot. Tucked back in the streets of the pavilion, this quick service restaurant serves quintessential French classics like Jambon Beurre, ham and cheese with Dijon mustard butter on a baguette, Mousse au Chocolat, and Napoleon, along with a very taste Frosé. Air-conditioned seating is also available. 

Les Vins des Chefs de France – France | Snack & Drink Stand

Drinking around the world? Stop by Les Vins des Chefs de France for a glass of wine, champagne, or beer. Or better yet, give one of the slushes a go, like the Citron with vodka and lemonade. 

France Building at Epcot

Lotus Blossom Café – China | Quick Service Restaurant 

Neighboring the full service Nine Dragons Restaurant, the Lotus Blossom Café is a quick service restaurant with basic Chinese food and some covered outdoor seating. By basic, we mean the same Pot Stickers, Pork & Vegetable Egg Rolls, Orange Chicken, and Chicken Fried Rice you’d find at basically every other Chinese restaurant in America. There are also some unique Lychee and Caramel-Ginger Ice Creams available.

Monsieur Paul – France | Table Service Restaurant

For us, one of the best things about Epcot is being able to enjoy food from around the world. It’s even better when a restaurant serves up an authentic atmosphere to match. Monsier Paul is a tribute to Chef Paul Bocuse, one of France’s most recognized chefs. This signature dining restaurant serves “inventive twists on traditional French cuisine” that change frequently with the seasons, like Roasted Duck Magret, both a la carte and prix fixe in an upscale setting. A dress code is also required. Please note that, as this is Disney, kids are welcome. However, the atmosphere is very subdued.

Nine Dragons Restaurant – China | Table Service Restaurant

Nine Dragons Restaurant offers guests contemporary Chinese-inspired cuisine amid hanging lanterns and ornate woodwork. We say Chinese-inspired because while this isn’t exactly authentic Chinese food, it is certainly better than what you usually get ordering takeout back home. Highlights include the Honey-Sesame Chicken, “numbingly spicy” Spicy Mala Happy Family, and Strawberry-Red Bean and Caramel-Ginger Ice Cream

Oasis Sweets & Sips – Morocco | Snack & Drink Stand

Stop by Oasis Sweets & Sips in the Morocco Pavilion for Moroccan Pastries and an array of non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages including Moroccan beer and Frozen Mint Tea with gin. 

Morocco Pavilion in World Showcase at Epcot

Popcorn in Canada | Snack & Drink Stand

Grab a handful of everyone’s favorite snack, including Maple Popcorn, at this food kiosk in the Canada Pavilion. Drinks are also available including Moosehead Draft and an Ottawa Apple cocktail with Crown Royal’s maple and apple flavors and cranberry juice. 

Refreshment Outpost – Between China and Germany | Snack & Drink Stand

Looking for something to quench your thirst or a quick bite to eat? Visit the Refreshment Outpost, a food kiosk serving a Hot Dog, slushies and alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages like soda and beer. When there’s a festival going on, you can also catch seasonal-inspired snacks and sips here. 

Refreshment Port – Near Canada | Snack & Drink Stand

Snacks and drinks are the name of the game here, with Traditional Poutine and soft-serve ice cream, and an assortment of beverages including draft beer and soda. Festival items are also available here. 

Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts & Barbecue – The American Adventure | Quick Service Restaurant

Eat your way across America at the Regal Eagle Smokehouse, a quick service restaurant serving up regional barbecue favorites like the Sliced Texas Beef Brisket Sandwich and the North Carolina Chopped Smoked Pork Butt Platter. There’s even a plant-based BBQ Jackfruit Burger available. Plus, with kid-friendly items like Macaroni & Cheese and Banana Pudding, this is an easy place to get lunch in World Showcase. 

Rose & Crown in the United Kingdom Pavilion in World Showcase at Epcot

Restaurant Marrakesh – Morocco | Table Service Restaurant

Hidden at the back of the Morocco Pavilion, Restaurant Marrakesh transports you to Northern Africa with its flavorful cuisine, ornate tilework, and live entertainment. Restaurant Marrakesh is one of the more adventurous options at Epcot, with favorites like the Beef Brewat Rolls, Bastilla, Lemon Chicken Tagine, and Couscous. Just because the flavors are unfamiliar here, however, doesn’t mean this Restaurant Marrakesh isn’t kid-friendly. Options like Chicken Nuggets and a Hamburger are available, plus kids are encouraged to join in with the traditional belly dancing. This unique restaurant is truly what Epcot is all about: discovering different cultures.

Rose & Crown – United Kingdom | Table Service Restaurant & Lounge

Enjoy a British invasion of a different sort as you eat up and drink in some classic Brit favorites at the Rose & Crown Pub and Dining Room. Located in the United Kingdom Pavilion, the Rose & Crown is a handsome yet lively place to throw back a pint or two and have a bite to eat. The UK inspiration can be seen throughout the menu, from the Fish and Chips, Scotch Egg, and Bangers and Mash down to the Pimm’s Cup. The highlight, however, is definitely the beer. Guests can choose from a variety of lagers, ales, and stouts, or opt for a little bit of a couple of things with one of their pub blends. And of course, don’t forget the whiskey and whisky. 

San Angel Inn Restaurante – Mexico | Table Service Restaurant

Dine al fresco (sort of) at the San Angel Inn Restaurante. Though inside the Mexico Pavilion, this table service restaurant takes you to a vibrant Mexican courtyard at twilight. Talk about atmosphere! Enjoy Mexican dishes like Queso Fundido, Tacos de Ribeye, and Pollo a Las Rajas as you gaze out at the Mayan ruins and boats floating by. This is one of the classic Epcot restaurants, intricately themed and immersive with atmosphere for days. 

Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya – Japan | Table Service Restaurant

The newest restaurant to open at Epcot, Shiki-Sai introduces diners to the vibrant seasonal festivals of Japan. Here, guests indulge in the festive flavors and dishes of the season, all while surrounded by special decor in honor of the celebration. As you can probably tell from the name, sushi is the highlight here, with standouts like the Fune “boat presentation” and the Hashi “bridge presentation.” However, you can also choose from udon noodles or grilled proteins like steak, salmon and chicken breast. With its views overlooking the World Showcase Lagoon, this can also be a great place to watch the nightly fireworks spectacular. 

Sommerfest – Germany | Snack & Drink Stand

Looking for a snack and/or some alcohol to carry you through the rest of your day at Epcot? Swing by Sommerfest, a small food kiosk next to Biergarten. Seating and food are minimal, just small bites like a Bratwurst and Pretzel Bread Pudding, but drinks are abundant, with a mix of both German beer and wine

San Angel Inn at the Mexico Pavilion in World Showcase at Epcot

Spice Road Table – Morocco | Lounge

Technically a lounge, Spice Road Table feels like so much more. Yes, there are drinks, with an extensive menu including Mediterranean Beers, Sangria, Spanish and Moroccan Wines and cocktails. But there is also a tempting array of small plates like Naan Spreads and the Spice Road Table Sampler available, both indoor and outdoor seating, and a beautiful view of World Showcase Lagoon. However, flavors might be too adventurous here for picky eaters. 

Takumi-Tei – Japan | Table Service Restaurant

Takumi-Tei, meaning “house of the artisan,” provides a truly unique dining experience in World Showcase. One of Disney World’s newest restaurants, Takumi-Tei offers Japanese fine dining in an atmosphere that can only be described as zen. Guests can order a la carte or, if you have a lot of time, try the Omakase Tasting Menu. With its quiet setting, interesting flavors, and potentially long mealtime, Takumi-Tei is a great choice for couples, groups of adults, or families with older children and open-minded palates. 

Tangierine Café – Morocco | Quick Service Restaurant 

Looking for something light and fresh to keep your going in your journey around World Showcase? Give Tangierine Café a try! With tasty favorites like Shawarma Platters, Harissa Rotisserie Chicken, and a Vegetarian Platter, kid-friendly picks like Chicken Tenders, and a variety of beverages (Tangierine Coffee with orange liqueur, anyone?), this is a nice place to grab a quick lunch for kids and adults alike. 

Teppan Edo – Japan | Table Service Restaurant

We love to eat, and the only thing better than dinner is dinner and a show. That’s why we love Teppan Edo. This table service restaurant in the Japan Pavilion is hibachi style, with chefs cooking your food with flair right in front of you. Plus, with everything from NY Cut Steak and Filet Mignon to Ebi (grilled shrimp) and Tori (chicken breast) available, as well as drinks like the Nigori Mimosa, this is a great spot for kids and adults alike. 

Japan Pavilion in World Showcase at EPCOT

Tutto Gusto Wine Cellar – Italy | Lounge

Unwind with a glass of wine and a plate of luscious pasta at the Tutto Gusto Wine Cellar. With more than 200 bottles of Italian Wine, antipasti, and dishes like Mare e Monti (slow-braised short rib with Maine lobster ravioli), this is a nice escape from the crowds of Epcot. There’s even a kids’ menu, so you don’t have to feel that bad dragging your kiddo there so you can work your way through the Under a Tuscan Sun wine flight. 

Tutto Italia Ristorante – Italy  | Table Service Restaurant

There’s no denying that Italian food is ubiquitous. Not just at Epcot, but Disney World in general. Tutto Italia Ristorante fits right in with Disney’s other Italian options: comforting and downright tasty, but not exactly what you’d call an Italian revelation. Still, the setting is fun, with murals depicting life in ancient Rome, and the food is yummy. Go for the Gnocchi Sorrentina and the Lasagne alla Bolognese

UK Beer Cart – United Kingdom | Snack & Drink Stand

Is the line too long at Rose & Crown Pub? No worries! Just grab a pint of British Beer or Cider and a packet of Seasoned Crisps from the UK Beer Cart. 

Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria – Italy | Table Service Restaurant

Japan may win the award when it comes to the most Epcot restaurants. Italy, however, puts up quite the fight. From pizza and gelato to a wine cave, there’s something for everyone. Wood-fired Pizzas are the highlight here, as is the Tortellini with pancetta and peas. It may not be adventurous, but Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria is a great spot with reliable food for both kids and adults. 

Yorkshire County Fish Shop – United Kingdom | Snack & Drink Stand

Looking for a quick but satisfying meal to fuel you on your World Showcase adventure? Look no further than the Yorkshire County Fish Shop, the UK Pavilion’s Fish and Chips shop. Snag a boat of golden fried deliciousness along with a pint of British Beer.

Allergy & Gluten-Free Options in Epcot

If there’s anything that Disney World does well – you know, besides rides, characters, and resorts – it’s guest service, and a huge part of that is accommodating dining restrictions. Whether you need a tour of the buffet line from a chef of all the gluten-free items or just want to have an allergy-free dessert that isn’t fresh fruit, Epcot cast members are happy to help you find something to eat. For many restaurants, that means swapping out or eliminating ingredients, but some chefs will even create special off-menu items just for you.  

Restaurants in Epcot are no different. Just let a cast member know as your looking over the menu or when placing an order that you have a food allergy, and they’ll be glad to let you know what’s possible. Many restaurants even have separate fryers for gluten-free foods. 

Before your trip, we highly recommend you take some time to look over all the different restaurant menus to see what’s out there. That will help give you ideas throughout the day of places you can eat and save you the time and stress of having to do it in the park. Overall, there are plenty of allergy and gluten-free dining options at Epcot and cast members are happy to make accommodations.

That completes our guide to Epcot dining. We hope we were able to help you decide where to eat at Epcot during your next Walt Disney World vacation. To get the most out of your day, you won’t want to miss our 1-day Epcot plan. We walk you through how to see all the attractions and stay ahead of the crowds, saving you more time for eating your way around World Showcase. We also have a Magic Kingdom Dining Guide and an Animal Kingdom Guide that you may want to check out.
