On Bistro, to be fair, I like almost everything I listed outside of the parks more than Bistro. It is probably the best restaurant inside the park gates, though. I also haven't been to that one in a couple years, so it may have gone downhill since then.

In the park, aside from Bistro and Coral Reef, I also like Le Cellier (for lunch) and La Hacienda (although, like I said, less than San Angel Inn). I've never eaten at Rose & Crown, but the menu does look good, and you can't really go wrong with that pub.

Ambiance was great as usual when we ate there. Service was atrocious. We were rushed, the server was inattentive, which made the overall experience lousy. We might eat there again, but unlikely. The hacienda is a little better, but it seems like the management for these two restaurants is the worst organized in Epcot and possibly Disney.

Great just LEAVE OUT San Angel Inn THE worst food on any of the parks next to BOMA
LOOK at the pictures!!! Its just not even Mexican food and those Beans are the worst next to that piece of weird meat. We left our food and left that place dark might I add that is so you cannot see the nasty of the food. JOHO

If you need a good Breakfast be sure to put in Tusker in AKI

San Angel Inn is one of our favorite WDW restaurants and it's always on our must-do list. Please see above photo.

You have to realize it's not Tex-Mex, American Southwest cuisine or the chain type stuff most people are used to. It's a Mexico City based restaurant, which is different. Nachos are something that don't even exist there, but were added to SAI's menu to accommodate the masses. I do regret that the Queso Fundido appetizer is no longer offered, but is now available at La Hacienda. My favorite dish is the Mole Poblano, and my DW and I always enjoy the fantastic Margaritas. Our food has always been spicy and we've always had excellent and speedy service.

Let me tell you. It is not spicy. We lived in New Mexico most of my life. I am not comparing it with fast food here in Texas. Its not any good in any way. but it seems that people who live up North that this must be heaven to them. This is what we get when we see who likes it . It usually is Northerners and that is NOT to judge. Ya'll just do not get what we get down here and there is a huge huge difference. I like HOT spicy food and this is not My Son In Law who cannot eat spicy even said with the only 2 bites he took it was so bland pushed the plate away we asked for our ticket left and went to eat somewehre else. it still gives us chills to think how bad and how much time we wasted and the horrible wait staff there. Yes this is our opinion and I bet there are more than you think that will not go in there ever again.I used to eat in Mexico when we lived in Las Cruses Albuquerque where we grew up. and even that was better than San Angel. My daughter who has been to Mexico and ate said its just horrible. This I am sure was made to suit mild palletes and people who live out of the US that are not used to it. I get it but this needs alot of help

Well I am from the Northeast, and I agree, San Angel is no where near spicy. But the point is, that is not what it is supposed to be. This is not TexMex food. I know TexMex, I like TexMex, I grow my own habenero peppers - I know and like spicy. San Angel is not about spicy, nor does it claim to be.

I have had a good mole there. I have also had a decent steak there.

The sopa azteca was VERY good and was memorable. They put crisp fried totilla strips, sliced avacado, and lumps of Oxaca cheese in the bowl and bring it to you. The serve it with a chicken broth and tomato soup that is in a pitcher. You pour the soup over the rest and you get a hot, slighly spicy soup, with crips tortilla strips and cool peices of avacodo in it, while the cheese starts to melt.

ate here last spring break... mole poblano was really good man, the chicken wasnt as tender as it could be, but the flavor was nice. I dont often praise Disney food either... so I guess its just my 2 cents, but I enjoyed it.

 

[RonAnnArbor]

I will agree -- it is decent "real" mexican food, and the Mole Poblano was probably the best.

My suggestion for your list --- Cancel your RainForest Cafe reservation and replace it with Raglan Road -- you will have much better food, enjoy the overall experience more, and be in a quieter (yet still fun) environment designed for adults.

 

[Bastia 33]

Thanks RonAnnArbor,:wave: I was to the Ragland Road in May , it's a very good place , i want a restaurant in AK have you a another idea :shrug:

 

[lighteningqueen]

Yak and yeti is very good. We tried the steak and shoax shrimp and it was really good plus we had the wontons for dessert... YUMMMMM best dessert the whole week..Flame is good for lunch

 

[DrummerAlly]

I would try San Angel Inn for lunch. We ate there two years ago - nothing amazing, but it was a decent meal with a great atmosphere.

All of the restaurants in WDW are pretty good. My best advise for you? Avoid restaurants in the France section of Epcot. You'll almost surely be disappointed.

 

[Bastia 33]

I don't like French Restaurant of Epcot:ROFLOL:

What can i do with this restaurant i am lost :shrug:

The only way to know for sure if you'll like the food at ANY restaurant is to go and try it yourself. Reviews and opinions will only get you so far.

Personally, I think the atmosphere is classic Disney, and one of the most memorable places at Walt Disney World to eat. If you're still unsure just go for a couple appetizers and a dessert.

 

[KingdomofDreams]

We always have lunch or dinner at San Angel. Our family is all ages and everyone requests San Angel when at Epcot. The atmosphere is beautiful and a really nice break from the bright sun, heat and the hectic pace in the park.

The food is good, some selections better than others, but it is definitely genuine Mexican cuisine, not Tex-Mex. If you go expecting an exceptional culinary experience, you'll be disappointed. If you go for the lovely, even romantic, atmosphere and a pleasant meal, I think you'll be happy with your choice. It is over-priced, but then so is every other restaurant on property.

 

[Bastia 33]

My reservation for dinner is ok , for me it's for discover a new experience , i like this place , and i want to try it , last year i was at the Coral reef , very good dinner but very very noise, i don't like noise when i eat :ROFLOL:

Well said. It and the Hacienda too frequently get compared to Tex-Mex and that is like apples and oranges for comparison. Our last time at San Angel was good not exceptional. The last trip, October 2011, La Hacienda was spectacular, one of the best we've had anywhere at Disney.

Should be noted that San Angel and La Hacienda are not Disney restaurants. They are third party owned and operated.

I was in the Hacienda in May and i like the restaurant and the service , the view on the lake is marvelous
