Where do your children enjoy eating in Epcot?

[Raegansmommy]

Where do your children enjoy eating in Epcot? We usually eat at Akershus because of the Princesses, and my daughter's love the cold buffet. Looking for ideas for our next trip to try something new whether it be their favorite QS or TS. I have 2 daughters, one is 9 and the other will be 6. One is a picky eater and one is not .

We have dined at:
Akershus
Le Cellier
Coral Reef (not since my oldest was small)
Chefs de France
Sunshine Seasons

My wife and I took our 1 1/2 year old son to The Biergarten at Epcot. He enjoyed the food and the entertainment. We also sat with an older family that had tweens and teens and they seemed to enjoy it also. Cheaper at lunch but I don't think the entertainment starts until dinner.

My kids love pizza so we always go to Via Napoli. Kids also like Garden Grill too, the restaurant rotates and has characters.

I guess I can answer this as I am still a child. Just turned 13 and my favorite place to eat in Epcot is definitely the Garden Grill. Love the Character Dinner with Chip and Dale.

I loved Garden Grill as a kid...AND adult! Rotating restaurant, all-you-care-to-enjoy that's really good, and the best gang in town! Living with the Land rocks.

We go to Biergarten every trip for lunch and the entertainment starts around 1:00 pm.

We love the Garden Grill. It is always on our list every trip. Food is surprisingly good.

My kids beg for Via Napoli every visit

I'd suggest looking at the menus to see what your kids might eat. When my kids were growing up and now my granddaughter I'd let each of them pick one of the places we'd eat with the condition that they'd play along with me picking somewhere new. Now all 3 of them are adventurous eaters. My step mom travels with us occasionally and is a very picky eater. She often orders from the kids menu in an adult size portion when she doesn't want to try anything off the adult menu. If your picky eater could eat off the kids menu or do what my step mom does then you should be able to pick anywhere. I typically travel with my now 13 y/o granddaughter but she's an adventurous eater so we've eaten just about everywhere in Epcot at this point with the exception of Morocco. When she was growing up we'd try 1-2 new places each trip. She particularly likes Teppan Edo, Via Napoli, Le Cellier, Tutto Italia, and La Hacienda.

I'm not a fan of Biergarten by my son thought it was a lot of fun
Anywhere in Japan to eat (honestly we love all the levels of food)
Morocco both Marrakesh and Tangierine Café - we have yet to try Spice Road Table
Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie and Chef's de France. I think Les Halles is his #1 though
Other QS places like Sunshine or Electric Umbrella are fine for us

Via Napoli every time. Personal pizzas are awesome, and kids go with the standard pasta and sauce dishes. I loved the
Italian beer sampler this past January. Three delicious beers. Try and save room for dessert because they are the best !

Garden Grill or Restaurant Marrakesh

My 6 year old daughter has enjoyed The Electric Umbrella, Sunshine Seasons, Lotus Blossom Cafe, Liberty Inn - and anywhere there is dessert lol (France and Norway, to be specific).

When my DS was little he was a fussy eater mostly pasta and pizza so it was Tutto Italia for a bowl of spaghetti or Via Napoli for pizza. When he got older, his favorite was restaurant Marrakesh however I think the belly dancer had a lot to do with it.

 

[Phonedave]

All of them like Biergarten, and Via Napoli.

One of them loves Chefs de France because she loves duck (the other like it)

The Land is not something they go crazy over, but they all like it.

All are well over Princesses

This, ehm, child likes to eat at the restaurant that serves this

And a brew to go with it....

Garden Grill! Love it! Great character interactions. Cool rotating restaurant. Good food.

 

[wdwmamamouse]

Lots of great recommendations already --I'll second Biergarten, Teppan Edo and Garden Grill

 

[jpinkc]

Akershus, Biergarten, Rose and Crown, Nine Dragons. In no particular order.

My boys loved the food at Chefs de France ( we had a great waitress, and they liked the fact that their Mommy could speak a bit of French). One of my boys just loves the French bread, and the steak with shoe string french fries ( pommes frites). Garden Grill is fun ( served family style plus Chip N Dale and "Farmer" Mickey). They also enjoyed the Japanese steakhouse-style of Tepan Edo. Fun interaction with the "chef". Coral Reef is neat if you get a seat close to the "tank" to watch the fish and the divers. The food was mostly seafood though.
