8 Sensational Restaurant Gems at Walt Disney World’s Epcot

Monsier Paul

Epcot is a culinary enthusiast’s dream! There are options for every taste and price range. The diversity of cuisine available in Epcot is unparalleled throughout the Disney parks. The perks of eating at Epcot is the variety of both international choices and more familiar food options. Whether you are craving a rustic Italian pizza or French crème brûlée, you will never be disappointed with these eight fantastic restaurants!

1. Sunshine Seasons

The Sunshine Seasons is hard to miss for those who make a beeline towards one of Epcot’s most popular attractions, Soarin’. Located in the Land, Sunshine Seasons offers a variety quick service options for a reasonable price. There are Asian options such as Asian Shrimp Stir Fry, or my personal favorite, the Oak-grilled Vegetarian Flatbread Sandwich. There is plenty of seating available, and Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner are served. As a bonus, some of the produce served in Sunshine Seasons are locally grown at the Land!

2. Via Napoli

The Via Napoli is located at the far end of the Italy pavilion, and is the best place to go for those who want to sample authentic Italian pizza. The pizza can run a bit pricy, but it is definitely worth the money. There is a 3-5 serving pizza that can price up to $41. Aside from great pizza, there are plenty of other options such as lasagna, pastas, and appetizers. I would personally recommend saving as much room as possible for the tiramisu!

3. Cantina de San Angel

Quick service and delectable Mexican food is what makes Cantina de San Angel a perfect location to dine. Cantina de San Angel is located right across from the main Mexico pavilion and has great views of the lagoon for those who are able to snag a table close enough. Options include nachos, tacos, and empanadas. There is also options for guacamole and churros for dessert! I personally recommend the Patron Cranberry Margarita on the Rocks for those who want a delicious drink.

4. Monsieur Paul

This upscale French restaurant is upscale is quality and price, but if you are willing to splurge this is the place to go! Dining options include Maine Lobster, Lamb Chops, Escargot, Duck, and Red Snapper. If there are window seat options available for a late dinner, Illuminations can be visible from the dining table. Gourmet dining and luxury are guaranteed. Note that reservations are highly recommended.

5. Tangierine Café

Located in the Morocco pavilion, this quick service experience allows guests to sample great Moroccan flavors for a reasonable price. There are plenty of tasty options such as the Falafel wrap or Shawarma Lamb Platter. My personal recommendation would be the Shawarma Chicken and Lamb Platter, which is an assemble-your-own gyro served with hummus, tabouleh, cous-cous salad, and bread. Be sure to sample the decadent baklava as well!

6. Boulangerie Patisserie

Craving a croissant or a fluffy French pastry? Look no further than Boulangerie Patisserie! Located far down the France pavilion, this quaint bakery serves anything from tarts and éclairs to cheese plates and quiches! Lines can be long, but service is fast and the food is affordably priced. The Macaroons Collection is a family favorite along with the Vichyssoise (Potato and Leek Soup in a Bread Bowl). Although the World Showcase isn’t officially open until after Breakfast, Boulangerie Patisserie is open!
