best epcot dining?

[bebert]

Teppan Edo is very good, give it a try. I was not completely sold before my first trip there but, now I am a huge fan.
No one has said Beirgarten. I know the food can be less than stellar but, the atmosphere is great and nothing beats a cold adult beverage on a hot day with some pretzel rolls and dessert, then more dessert, then more...you get the picture.

Awww, Don't tell me that about Biergarten.. I have an ADR there in a few days and was pretty excited for some German Fare

Our favorites are:

TS - Biergarten (we schedule our ADR for about 30 minutes before one of the shows starts, so we're seated with food in hand when it begins), Coral Reef (food has improved recently -- ask for a table near the aquarium, it's worth it even if you have to wait a little longer to be seated)

CS - Tangierine Cafe, Morocco pavilion

Is it really that good? Everyone keeps saying to try the pizza there..

I make pizza from scratch at home (dough and all) so I'm always pretty hesitant to try pizza elsewhere as it is usually not as good.

Unless you import your water from Italy for the dough, use fresh milk mozzarella and bake your pizza in a wood-fired brick oven, Via Napoli pizza might be a smidge better

It is very good, you must try it at least once.

We actually make two reservations for Via Napoli every trip because I love their Margherita pizza and can't get one like it anywhere else.

Yum! I have to wait until late May.

We visited Chefs de France for the first time last Fall and loved it!! Via Napoli was also excellent!! I have to agree with other posters regarding Yachtsman's Steakhouse. As much as we have enjoyed Le Cellier in the past, a quick walk to Yachtsman's is by far, superior over Le Cellier, as far as Signature restaurants are concerned.

I never miss Biergarten, love the place. Wish they still had Spaten beers.

I loved Le Cellier, but it's not worth the multiple dining credits nor the price, in my opinion.

I love the atmosphere of San Angel Inn, but the service there has been abysmal lately; the food is okay.

Garden Grill is a favorite of mine. It's character dining, but very low-key, not the wacky madhouse that somewhere like Crystal Palace can be. The place is very mellow, the food's terrific, and the views of Living with the Land are fun.

I was surprised how much I liked Nine Dragons in China. I felt silly going for Chinese with all these other options around me, but it's a very decent Chinese place with easily the best General Gao's Chicken I've had anywhere.

Le Cellier is our top fave at EPCOT, but also we love Via Napoli for their pizza. It is a must do for us to go there every trip as well as Le Cellier. If you want to leave and hop on the monorail I also highly recommend California Grill @ Contemporary.

There goes @sxeensweet pushing that Le Cellier again. I do agree with the Via Napoli for their pizza. It's yummy!

We use to go to Coral Reef all the time but the quality of the food and service declined recently and haven't been back since.

Our EPCOT staples are San Angel Inn and either Tokyo Dining or Teppan Edo. San Angel Inn has such a great atmosphere, the food is fantastic, and definitely has some of the best service in all of WDW. Either of the Japanese restaurants are great as well for the same reasons. The service at Tokyo Dining has been hit-or-miss at times but the food made up for it.

When I went in January, our group of 8 waited almost a half hour for our orders to be taken, and when they did, it was by a guy speaking to us in broken English and writing everything down in an old notebook with the pages falling out; he forgot several orders, and then delivered food to the wrong people. Our drinks didn't get refilled, he never returned for additional drink orders, and everything took a crazy long time to arrive. It was just hilariously poor service, extremely unusual for any EPCOT restaurant.

That's such a shame. My group of 4 has always had great service there. We've been 6-7 times and are going back again this June. That is unusual for any EPCOT restaurant.

All of the EPCOT restaurants we've been to have had great service, with the exception of Coral Reef. Our story mimics yours at San Angel except the waiter fluently spoke English but still forgot 3/4 of the orders. The food was subpar after taking over 30 minutes to arrive.

The ironic thing is that the last time I was at Coral Reef, last year, was some of the best service I've had at EPCOT -- really terrific helpful waiter, funny and charming, lots of helpful tips, and we were all surprised by how good the food was compared to our last visit a few years prior. I guess it just depends on when you go!

 

[DisneyGigi]

Le Cellier is our fave but 2nd is Chefs de France and 3rd Coral Reef! We have all 3 booked for September.

 

[plutoismyhero]

This is by far one of the HARDEST questions ever. Really depends what you are looking for. Via napoli is great and the Hibachi is good but just normal hibachi. Garden Grill is one of my favorites.

With two teens, you can't go wrong with pizza at Via Napoli. Plenty of traditional Italian dishes for yourself and the senior in your party.

Yes and I'm not the only one on this board that really enjoys Le Cellier!! And many others that are not on these forums! And for Epcot a lot agree it is the best restauant in the park.

The only TS I've had at Epcot in recent memory is Rose & Crown, but it was very good, in my opinion.

As far as QS, Sunshine Seasons at the Land is awesome. La Cantina de San Angel is overrated. It's not bad, but it's not near the great spot that everyone makes it out to be. Sommerfest and Tangierine Café are great. And while not a full QS restaurant, I'd be remiss if I didn't advise desert at Les Artisans des Glaces. So, SO good.

A toasted brioche filled with salted caramel gelato and caramel sauce = awesome.
