Epcot is tough to beat for grown-up dinners. The World Showcase has a restaurant in each country, so that alone means a lot more choices than the other parks.
However, the food can be hit or miss, sometimes relying on the fact it’s at Disney versus being amazing on its own. Of course, they still charge Disney prices, so that’s when you want to be extra careful about where you drop your dough.
Epcot Restaurants
Le Cellier
Price: $$$
Location: Canada
Need reservations: Yes, for sure.
Why we love it:
- Good steaks (thought The Yachtsman is still #1 for all of Disney)
- House favorites: cheese soup, pretzel bread
- Friendly and attentive staff
This steakhouse in the Canada section has prime cuts of beef, wine, beer, and all-around delicious sides. Fun fact: it’s the only place in US that has Moosehead beer on tap!
Monsieur Paul
Price: $$$$
Location: France
Need reservations: Yes
Why we love it:
- Top-of-the-line French cuisine
- Extensive wine list
- Quiet, on the second floor so it’s away from the crowds
- Views of the fireworks if you go during the show
If you’re into wine, this is a great spot – and the food is delicious as well. Bonus tip: Request a table near the windows for a lovely view and possibly the fireworks if you time it right!
