which resturaunt is best in epcot WS

[jakeybake]

I love WS but there are a lot of resturaunts and i need your opinion.

[Daisy'sMom]

It depends on what you like. I love Canada and Japan. I do not like Italy's or China's.

[DreamFinder2]

We love the San Angel Inn at Mexico.

[SBETigg]

They all have their own special appeal for me. I don't think I could choose just one. Bistro de Paris is probably the best, but also expensive and not on the dining plan. If I had to choose another, I would pick Chefs de France but for purely sentimental reasons. I've had great meals there, and I've had mediocre. But I also love Rose and Crown for the pub-like atmosphere, Marrakesh for fun and something different, and San Angel again for the atmosphere and mango margaritas.

Perhaps better to ask least favorite and rule out from there? I wouldn't return to Biergarten (fun, great atmosphere, just not my style). Norway's Akershus and Nine Dragons aren't high on my to-do list.

There are so many good places to eat in WS.

The "best" one really depends on your preferences. In our family, we love R&C and Bietergarten!

[Pete Olsen]

We would list as our favorites -
Le Cellier Steakhouse, Chefs de France,
Tutto Italia & Teppan Edo. Each resturaunt is unique with special menus.

It is hard to pick just one, but if we could only go to one WS resturaunt on a trip it would definitely be Le Cellier.

I would go with Le Cellier

[Gracie'sMom]

Chefs de France - great food, attentive staff, relaxing atmosphere, very authentic - you forget you at WS instead of France. Last time we were there it was the Chefs lunch time and the staff sat down at a back table. It is always a good sign when the staff eats the food they serve.

We love Teppan Edo. We try to do different places each time, but we always go back there - the kids love the table-side cooking, and we all love thew fresh, healthy food.

[cindchan]

Marrekesh and Rose and Crown are my favorites. ^_^

[swampfox28]

Haven't eaten at Le Cellier (YET!), but can say that we were pleasantly surprised with both R&C and with Biergarten. Both had VERY good food and I enjoyed them immensely even though I didn't expect to like them that much!

Music was a little loud in Biergarten, but it was very fun. R&C we tried too hard to get a table "with a view", but come fireworks time, so many people got in front of us it didn't matter and I wouldn't worry about that so much next time...

Good luck!

You can't go wrong with Le Cellier Steak House...great food, nice cozy atmosphere.

If you're looking for something more lively, give Biergarten a try...lots of fun to be had in there, plus you've got good food and the price is right.

[goofy78]

it is hard to decide on just one. my vote would have to be for teppan edo ( still teppanyaki for me). the reasons are good food, atmosphere, and more importantly the entertainment with the chefs cooking right in front of you. this restaurant is a tradition for me but i do like all of the ones i have been to.

[MississippiDisneyFreak]

LeCellier

[prttynpnk]

Yutto Italia and Marrakesh are my current favs- great food and a nice change of atmosphere.

[goofy89]

I really enjoyed San Angel Inn, Le Cellier, and Biergarten

[RocknBev]

DH and I love Rose and Crown...but our last visit to Le Cellier has to make that our top choice!

[Goes4FastPass]

This is impossible to answer because they are so different.

If the question is "who likes steak?" you'll get one answer or "who likes crepes?" another.

I think the best WS restaurant is the last one I tried and the next one I plan to try.

Agreed, you could get endless combinations of responses. They are all so very different, and such a matter of taste. We've had some unexpected likes-San Angel- we resisted for awhile, Mexican food is easy to come by at home, but found out we loved San Angel. Le Chefs-an unexpected dislike..we love the whole french vibe, french food, but this place didn't cut it for us. And...everything in between!!!

OK, get comfortable:

Akershus Princess Storybook Breakfast (Table Service) ☺☻
The food is about what you’d expect at a Big Boy™ restaurant but that isn’t what brings people to Akershus. Previously, this was a good place to meet princesses. Since they started “including” a picture package and raised the price to like $33, I can’t in good conscience recommend it.

Biergarten (Table Service) ☺☺☺
On Oct 17, 1810, Crown Prince Ludwig of Bavaria celebrated his marriage to Princess Therese of Sachsen with one of the grandest festivals of Munich had ever seen. Thus the Oktoberfest began. The tradition continues bathed in beer, music, and lots of stick-to-your-ribs meats, pastas and German salads. The price is fair and if you can’t get filled-up here, you need surgery. Don’t expect gourmet food, but that’s not what we go to buffets for now, is it? Nonetheless, Ich bin ein berliner.

Bistro De Paris (Table Service – Non-Disney – No DDP) ☺☺☺☺☻
Rich with the culinary ideals still held true from Calais to Monaco, Bistro’s homage to French culinary accomplishment has become the maxim to which more restaurants should aspire. Perfectly cooked duck with just the right amount of tarragon or fresh scallops, lobster, and snapper. The hardest part is deciding what to order. So, for less than a hundred dollars a person, you can sample a true degustation of excellence. Why the price fixe menu? Simple, chefs love showing off their talents, and one of the ways in which they can best do this is by offering a menu de degustation, literally, a "tasting menu" in which the meal consists of at least 6 different courses. This gives you an opportunity to try a broader range of dishes than would normally be possible in one visit. A couple can easily sample 10 different items during one dinner and for a little more money, complete the experience with carefully chosen wine pairings.

Chefs de France (Table Service) ☺☺☻
A lot of people think I hate this place. That’s not actually true. The menu was created expertly, some complex items and some, uh, simple ones. However, French cooking is not an art, it’s a science and the kitchen staff isn’t living up to the quality of the original creators. Chefs de France has fallen victim to the most common pitfall when the recipes aren’t created in-house… inconsistency. And that kills if for me (and apparently for Gaston Lenotre). Is the food at Chefs bad? No, but we just don’t bother eating there anymore. Give me consistently great food or leave it in the kitchen. Est-ce que c'est trop difficile?


Le Cellier Steakhouse (Table Service) ☺☺☺☺☻
Worth the title of Signature Dining, Le Cellier is still 1 credit on the Dining Plan. Cheddar Cheese Soup you can’t get enough of, perfectly cooked duck, & fork-tender mushroom filet mignon makes you forget you’re dining in a room full of Canadians. They no longer have their signature Maple Crème Brûlée but who has room for dessert after all those carbs.

Nine Dragons (Table Service) ☺☺☺☻
You’ll see some of the usual Chinese restaurant board of fare and some not so usual things. The Pork Loin is Xo Sauce is one of the latter. It’s worth every bit of $17.99, so is the Spicy Beef and the Eggplant in Garlic Sauce. Each appetizer is as good as the next; five stars to the Drunken Chicken. Sadly they have the same wretched ice cream as the Chinese Counter Service restaurant. The Nine Dragons Sampler for Two is a good value provided you want to try the less exotic (cheaper) entrées.

Restaurant Marrakesh (Table Service) ☺☺☺☺
Lots of people are afraid of this restaurant because they think the food will be too exotic. I think that’s silly. Don’t worry; they don’t have monkey brains or calf intestine. It’s all choice cuts from lamb, chicken, beef, shrimp, and fish. They just prepare them with different herbs and spices and they use pasta or grains where we would use breading. So many items on the menu are my favorites, I have a hard time not over-ordering. I absolutely can’t skip the Harira Soup (like Italian lentil soup), Brewat Rolls (seasoned beef baked inside a pastry), and Seafood Bastilla (grouper, shrimp, & veggies baked in a light pastry). Then a little couscous or Roast Lamb, followed by some baklava, all in the company of two-man Moroccan Combo group and belly dancer. Sometimes the drink service can be a little slow and the dessert selections are limited at best. Nonetheless, Marrakesh is a Do-Not-Miss!

Rose and Crown (Table Service) ☺☺☺☻
We’ll go several trips and miss R&C, then we always wonder why we skipped it. The Samosas are excellent (though a little spicy). I love the lump crab appetizer. You can’t ever go wrong with the fish & chips. The lamb with Guinness BBQ sauce and the orange chicken are unique and appetizing but give me the Tamarind Pork Loin any day, lunch or dinner. I'd like to see a little more diversity in the menu selections and a little more speed out of the kitchen. Also, while R&C is a popular restaurant pre-Illuminations but don’t hold your breath for a patio table. They are harder to get then an NHS dental appointment.

San Angel Inn (Table Service) ☺☺☻
Beautiful and romantic, from first glance the food has a lot to live up to. While the menu is imaginative, the food is only slightly better than average. The beef isn’t nearly tender and flavorful enough to be in a $24 - $27 entrée. Most of the chicken and seafood dishes are pretty good. The sauces are about the only thing exceptional about the place. If they improved the quality of the meat and line cooks would do as much work on presentation as the designer did on the atmosphere, they’d have a good restaurant.

Teppan Edo (Table Service) ☺☺☺☻
Teppanyaki grills don’t really do it for me as a method of dining. I don’t need singing shrimp, onion volcanoes, or Japanese egg rolls to make my meal complete. The food is rarely exceptional and the food is usually overpriced. Teppan Edo is no different. The do have great sushi, but, if you have a great Japanese steakhouse at home, eat there and save the Disney meal slot for something you can’t get on a random Tuesday next door to the local pet store.

Tokyo Dining (Table Service) ☺☺☺☻
With an expansive view of the Epcot lagoon, a more relaxed atmosphere, and a much more attentive staff than Edo, Tokyo Dining is leaps and bounds above its predecessor. Specializing in sushi, they offer several tempura dishes worth a try plus salads and the usual hibachi items.

Tutto Italia (Table Service) ☺☺☺
Quite a bit better than the canned Italian food you get at Tony’s or Mama Melrose’s, Tutto brings a more authentic board of fare. The menu is quite a bit more varied than the usual Italian eatery so even the pickiest diner can find something. The servers are dressed to kill in starched white shirts and black ties which is a little over the top for a place in a theme park but that may just be me. All the ingredients are fresh and the wine list is above average. The problem seems to be execution. There are three things that make a restaurant excel or fail, consistency, consistency, and consistency. Tutto Italia isn’t maintaining consistent food quality. People shouldn’t leave a $150 dinner saying “pretty good”. People should leave with their schedules in their hand trying to figure out when they can fit in another visit.
