Best atmosphere at Epcot

[Crow]

which places do you think have the best atmosphere, leaving aside the food part.

Coral Reef
Biergarten
Chefs de France
Le Cellier
Nine Dragons
Marrakesh
Rose & Crown
San Angel
Teppan Edo/Tokyo Dining
Tutto Italia



Id have to go w Tokyo Dining & San Angel for my top 2. TD rehab & the window overlooking the lagoon, the CMs
San Angel volcano
Coral Reef has the tank
Marrakesh isnt bad either
LC cellar atmosphere just doesnt do it for me

San Angel...we enjoyed being seated right next to the water so we had a great view of the volcano and boats going by.
Very relaxing.

Marrakesh is beaUtiful with its tiling everywhere. All of Morroco is for that matter. Tangeriene Cafe is the prettiest CS in all the World IMO :cloud9:

I think the best atmosphere is a tie between Coral Reef and San Angel Inn for us:mickey:

We have never been to the San Angel Inn so for us it is Coral Reef.... we just felt so relaxed there when we had lunch last trip!

For atmosphere I like Marrakesh and Biergarten. The entertainment boosts the atmosphere that the rest of the pavilion sets up, in each country.

For food, Marrakesh and San Angel Inn. We've eaten many times at San Angel Inn and never, tho we've requested it, gotten anywhere near the river. :(

If San Angel were less crowded or Biergarten switched back from the buffet, I might have to go with 3 way ties for food and atmosphere.

I would go with Biergarten and the nighttime village setting with the band and the water. San Angel is a close second for me, especially when the band is there (although not technically playing in the restaurant).

Our family's vote goes to Marrakesh and Coral Reef.

Coral Reef: You can't beat being "unda' the sea"! The water, peaceful blue decor, and a great view of the sealife make it the perfect atmosphere; plus the food is fabulous.

Marrakesh: Beautiful tile work, bellydancing and music; plus gracious service all add up to a great atmosphere and wonderful meal!

Enjoy!

Biergarten is always very festive and fun. I'd go with San Angel, but inspite of your instructions, I can't get past the food.

We love the Biergarten. Second would be the outdoor eatery at Mexico, especially for Illuminations.

[MississippiDisneyFreak]

:blush: That's a really interesting question, because we really loved the theming and atmosphere at San Angel Inn but thought the food was just "okay." Haven't tried LeCellier, Marrakesh or Biergarten yet, will be trying all three in December....

[Crow]

if you include food & atmosphere
Marrakesh & Tokyo Dining.
Ill see again how the food compares to atmosphere at San Angel in Sept.

[Tigerinvestigator]

Another vote for San Angel Inn followed by Garden Grill and then Biergarten, Marrakesh, and Coral Reef!:thumbsup:

[hubbyofadisneyholic]

Definitely Biergarten for us!!

[beksy]

San Angel Inn for us!

San Angel Inn has the best atmosphere, it's so relaxing in there, smells so good, it's got it all with one exception.....THE FOOD !! Yuck !!

.....I know you said, "with the exception of the food".....I just wanted to make sure I did not confuse anyone, and thus "trick" them into spending their hard earned money in that place.....it is a must, every trip, to go in and "cool" off / look around, but we won't make the same mistake twice, and eat a meal there.....YUCK YUCK YUCK YUCK !!!!:mickey:

[Diznee4Me]

San Angel Inn is great but I also like the Rose and Crown. Sitting next to the water at the R&C is great and the pub feels like a few we visited in England.

[bc002k]

San Angel Inn seems like it would be really nice, but Mexican food doesn't do it for me.

Marrakesh is great BUT make sure you don't eat there near closing time. We recently went there with an 8:30 ADR on a night where the park closed at 9:00. By that time, no belly dancer, no live music, and it was rush rush rush as the staff clearly wanted to go home.

Coral Reef is probably the best, though it's a tad bit raucous at times.

Atmosphere only?

Marrakesh - the tiles are amazing!!!

San Angel - the riverside at night is beautiful!

[dmosher]

Le Cellier or San Angel, both have great themeing and a much quieter romantic atmosphere

[Georgesgirl1]

Marrakesh and Beirgarten have the best atmosphere in my opinion. I love the tile and the belly dancing at Marrakesh. Beirgarten is so pretty with the look of being outdoors and the band is really fun. the food is really good at both places too!

If you are looking for a romantic place, I have always thought that San Angel Inn looked so romantic. I have never eaten there though, so I can't comment on the food (but that wasn't the question)!

[Rich Mc]

Our favorite is Chefs de France and San Angel in Mexico!

[AdventurerKim]

Le Cellier, San Angel, and Les Chefs de France have great atmospheres! :thumbsup:
