- I've been visiting Disney World for more than a decade, and Epcot is my favorite park to eat in.
- It offers both sit-down and quick-service options like Chefs de France and Connections Café.
As someone who's been visiting Disney World for more than a decade, I know that Epcot reigns supreme when it comes to dining.
The park offers both sit-down and quick-service dining options. Plus, there are four festivals every year, each of which brings new kiosks with special food and beverage offerings.
Here are my 10 favorite places to eat at Epcot.
Le Cellier Steakhouse

Located in the Canada Pavilion of Epcot's World Showcase, Le Cellier Steakhouse is housed inside a building that's meant to resemble a Canadian château.
The restaurant serves meals ranging from delicious poutines to perfectly cooked steaks. It's also always cool and dimly lit, making it a favorite place to take a break from the Central Florida heat and rest up for more fun in the park.
Chefs de France
![Chefs de France](https://staticbiassets.in/thumb/msid-102614258,width-700,height-525,imgsize-524626/chefs-de-france.jpg)
With its large windows that offer picturesque views of the France Pavilion, Chefs de France has a simple French brasserie-style menu.
I often visit at lunchtime for its French-onion soup and baked-goat-cheese salad — the perfect light lunch on a busy park day.
Akershus Royal Banquet Hall

At Akershus Royal Banquet Hall inside the Norway Pavilion, princesses like Belle, Ariel, Cinderella, Aurora, and Snow White interact with guests while they dine on a Norwegian-inspired buffet.
The chance to see so many princesses at one time makes this one of the best-character dining opportunities on Disney World property in my opinion.
Spice Road Table

The menu at Spice Road Table in the Morocco Pavilion is made up of Mediterranean-style small plates, perfect for sharing with a group.
I think the best time to eat here is after dark when you can sit outdoors in the cooler air, take in waterfront views of the World Showcase Lagoon, and maybe even get a front-row seat to the nightly fireworks show.
I recommend trying the sangria or the mint tea with gin during your meal.
La Cava del Tequila

This tequila bar, located inside the pyramid of the Mexico Pavilion, serves more than 200 varieties of tequila, along with some great cocktails.
La Cava del Tequila also offers chips, queso, salsa, and guacamole, making it one of my favorite spots for a drink and a snack at Epcot. Plus, it has some of the friendliest bartenders I've ever met at Disney World.
Space 220

Located in the World Discovery area at the front of the park, Space 220 takes guests on an elevator ride "into space" for lunch or dinner.
The prix-fixe and lounge menus serve modern American dishes like pasta and burgers. But it's worth a visit for the experience alone.
There are massive screens at the front of the dining room that show simulated views of space.
Nine Dragons Restaurant
![Nine Dragons Restaurant](https://staticbiassets.in/thumb/msid-102614224,width-700,height-525,imgsize-272588/nine-dragons-restaurant.jpg)
Nine Dragons Restaurant, located in the China Pavilion, almost always has last-minute tables available. But it's not because the food isn't delicious.
From crispy duck bao buns to Kowloon spare ribs, the dishes here are always a delight. It's a great place to stop when hunger strikes, especially when you don't have a dining reservation.
Connections Eatery and Connections Café

Connections Café at the front of Epcot makes the list because it's the only place in the park to get your Starbucks fix.
The cafe serves pastries and drinks, and my teens like to hop over to its sister restaurant, Connections Eatery, for cheeseburgers or chicken tenders.
Both are fairly new additions to the park and are great for on-the-go meals.
Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria
![Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria](https://staticbiassets.in/thumb/msid-102614211,width-700,height-525,imgsize-1000244/via-napoli-ristorante-e-pizzeria.jpg)
Via Napoli is a fan-favorite in the Italy Pavilion. The restaurant serves giant, wood-fired pizzas, an impressive wine list, and other Italian-inspired dishes.
Seasonally, it also has a to-go pizza window next to the front entrance if you're looking for a quick bite.
San Angel Inn Restaurante
![San Angel Inn Restaurante](https://staticbiassets.in/thumb/msid-102614204,width-700,height-525,imgsize-571082/san-angel-inn-restaurante.jpg)
Tucked inside the pyramid at the Mexico Pavilion, San Angel Inn Restaurante serves traditional Mexican-inspired dishes like chicken enchiladas and carne asada. It also offers diners a beautiful view of Mayan-inspired decor and an indoor waterway.
Don't miss the queso fundido or the impressive list of margaritas.
