This Is the Best EPCOT Restaurant, and You Won’t Convince Me Otherwise

EPCOT is known for its wide variety of food and drink options!

It can be tough to pick which restaurant is the best in EPCOT, especially because there are so many cool restaurants, like one that rotates and one that takes you into space! Plus there are so many cuisines that are offered from 11 different countries. With all of these options, it was tough for us to come up with the best restaurant in EPCOT.

Since it was so tough, we compromised, and instead of just one restaurant, we made our list of the top three restaurants in EPCOT. All three just happen to be inside of the World Showcase.

For all three of these restaurants, you will need to make dining reservations in advance. This can be done 60 days prior to your arrival. Reservations can be made online or in the My Disney Experience app.

Don’t worry if you forget to make advance reservations. Reservations tend to pop up in the app the day of, so you can always check for those last-minute reservations! 

Sometimes restaurants will also offer a Walk-Up Waitlist the day of. If you are passing by a restaurant, you might see a sign to join the Mobile Dine Walk-Up List, simply scan the QR code and put in your party’s information. You can also check Walk-Up List availability on the My Disney Experience app or by going to the host stand. While the Walk-Up List is not always open, it is still a good backup for last-minute dining!

Now that we have some of the basics out of the way, let’s dive into our top  three restaurants at EPCOT!

Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria

Starting off in the Italy Pavilion, you can find some great food options that obviously include pizza and pasta! One of our favorite restaurants just also happens to be here, and that is Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria.

Located in the back of the Italy Pavilion, Via Napoli serves amazing pizzas, plates of pasta, and other dishes, including a filet. We love dining here so much because of the pizza!

If we could only choose one pizza, we would get the Prosciutto e Melone Pizza. This pizza is a white pizza with fontina, mozzarella, prosciutto, cantaloupe, arugula. While we know there is a discourse about putting fruit on pizza, trust us, this is delicious!

Via Napoli also serves up giant pizzas; to get one order the “Mezzo Metro” size. This pizza size is HUGE and can easily serve four people. This is a great dining hack as it can be cheaper to order one of these large pizzas for the whole table rather than everyone getting their own dish. 

Our readers even agree! One of our readers said, “They never let me down. My first bite always amazes me that something can taste so good! The wait staff here is always friendly.” Another reader, said, “This place is amazing! Good for all of the family. Great pizza and always great service!”

Les Chefs de France

This next restaurant is located in the France Pavilion, and once inside Les Chefs de France, you will actually feel like you are dining in France. The atmosphere and restaurant design is so cool, especially if you get seated in the part of the dining room that faces the fountain in the France Pavilion. 

Chefs de France offers dishes a la carte and also has a Prix Fixe Meal. The Prix Fixe Meal comes with a selection of an appetizer, entree, dessert, and even a glass of wine. 

When we dine here, we love to get the French Onion Soup, it is a must! Even on a hot day, you can still catch us ordering it because it is that good! 

For an entree, we love the Gratin de macaroni. This is not your average macaroni and cheese; instead, it is made with cream and Gruyère cheese, making it an elevated dish.

Our readers also love Chefs de France. For example, one reader said that it was an “amazing experience from the food to the service. Our waitress was so nice and kind, listening to our questions and stories and being so patient with our one-year-old. The waitress made the experience top-notch. The food did not disappoint.”

Le Cellier

To finish up this list, we also love Le Cellier in the Canada Pavillion. The restaurant’s theme will truly make you feel like you are in a cellar, and the dark lighting adds to its vibe.

We love cheese, so when we dine here, we always get the Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup. This soup features Moodhead Pale Ale along with Nueske’s Applewood-smoked Bacon. Once again, we don’t care how hot it is, the cheese soup is a must.

You can’t go wrong with the Le Cellier Filet Mignon. This dish also has Mushroom Risotto, Pomodoraccio Tomato, and Truffle Butter Sauce. While it may seem like a basic dish, the meat is always so tender and leaves us wanting more.

Our readers also enjoy Le Cellier. One reader said that Le Cellier has “hands down the BEST food at Disney World!” Another reader told us that “it exceeded [their] expectations! Right when [they] walked in, the energy was very grounding & sweet. Dim lighting is a plus, & very kind staff. The food was OUTSTANDING.”

There are so many great places to dine at EPCOT but between our team and our reader’s opinion, we love these three!
