It’s okay. We know you come to Disney for the food. We do too!
Tacos!
And boy, does Disney have options when it comes to where you eat! There are places like Morimoto Asia in Disney Springs or Le Cellier in EPCOT. Every year, theme park restaurants are nationally ranked on which are the best, and this year, THREE Disney World restaurants made the cut. Let’s find out which ones they were.
Every year, USA Today’s 10 Best works with a panel of theme park insiders to create a list of nominees for best theme park restaurants in the US. Then, the readers vote for their favorites leaving us with this Top 10 List.
EPCOT
And what do you know?! THREE Walt Disney World restaurants are in the top 10. Space 220 came in at number 3, Yak & Yeti came in at number 4, and Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria almost missed the list coming in at number 10!
Space 220
Here’s a quick refresher on these three restaurants. Let’s start with Space 220. It’s a futuristic restaurant that takes guests on a dining adventure 220 miles “above” EPCOT in the Centauri Space Station. It features a multi-course, prix fixe menu with two courses for lunch and three for dinner. The 8oz Filet Mignon was the standout in our opinion when it comes to dinner.

About Yak & Yeti in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, it’s a table service restaurant that offers a flavorful fusion of Asian cuisine complete with special Disney touches in a detailed Nepalese-style setting.

Of the five we’ve been to, we like Mythos the best.
I loved Yak & Yeti and visited every trip for many years. But a few years ago they affiliated with some restaurant group — not sure which one. Members of that restaurant group could just walk up and be seated, but others had a 30+ minute wait, reservation or not. Now I avoid it as I don’t appreciate having been treated like dirt.
You say at the beginning of the article that Yak & Yeti placed 3rd but then at the end the list says they placed 4th, so which one is it? Was this just an editing error or was it purposeful? In either case it does need to be fixed for clarification, and if something like a simple google search on my part tells me the answer then maybe it should’ve been caught in the editing process if there is one. Just a head’s up is all! Thanks for reporting!
Hi Lillianna! Thank you so much for reaching out to us and letting us know. Yak & Yeti should have said it was number 4 so I went in and updated it to be less confusing. Our apologies!
