EPCOT’s World Discovery Restaurants

Space 220 — Restaurant and Lounge

The Space 220 restaurant takes guests on a dining adventure 220 miles above EPCOT! Guests board the “Stellavator” (elevator) that simulates real-time rocketing into orbit as they travel to the Centauri Space Station hovering above the Earth. Diners will take in daytime and nighttime views of Earth as they’re surrounded by a full panoramic view of space. 

A multi-course, prix fixe menu (with two courses for lunch and three for dinner) allows guests to enjoy modern, upscale dishes.

Space 220 also features a Lounge with its own food menu!

Uniquely, the lounge accepts Advance Dining Reservations, while guests who wish to sit at the bar may wait in a standby line.

Sunshine Seasons offers variety, delicious food, and a prime location in The Land pavilion. This quick service gem is situated within steps of Soarin’ Around the World, one of the park’s most popular attractions.

Guests have access to a few counter service classics, like burgers and pizza, and a plentiful “Grab & Go” section. But Sunshine Seasons has really made a name for itself as a spot where guests can also find better-for-you entrees. Vegetarians and vegan guests will likely be pleased with options here. And it’s always worth a peek at the chilled desserts bar and bakery case for a bite of something sweet, with many snacks unique to the location!

Mexico Pavilion Restaurants — EPCOT’s World Showcase

La Hacienda de San Angel — Table Service

La Hacienda de San Angel specializes in fresh Mexican cuisine, with a goal not to reproduce heavy Tex-Mex, but to offer authentic Mexican flavors straight from the market, including skillets, tacos, fresh corn tortillas, and a variety of margaritas.

Seating is open-air, but under the protection of a roofed patio.

Norway Beer Cart

Norway Beer Cart sells a variety of cold beverages. Beer fans may be pleasantly surprised to find Einstok among the offerings. But this little beer cart really made a name for itself when it started serving a spiked frozen concoction called Troll Kreme.

You can also purchase wine. And, if you just need to hydrate, you’ll find “fancy water” (Voss Artesian) here!

China Pavilion Restaurants — EPCOT’s World Showcase

Nine Dragons — Table Service

Nine Dragons is the dining centerpiece of EPCOT’s China Pavilion. Featured Chinese cuisine includes Cantonese, Mongolian, Szechuan, Hunan and Kiangche-style dishes.

Though it meets with mixed reviews, I think it’s a great place to dine on some tasty Chinese dishes in a lovely setting.

Lotus Blossom Cafe — Quick Service

Lotus Blossom Cafe is inspired by the delicate and symbolic lotus blossom, and serves Chinese cuisine for lunch and dinner.

Orange chicken with steamed rice is a favorite for many guests; and all dishes can be enjoyed in the Cafe’s covered seating area with open-air walls.

The full buffet features your favorite German dishes, including bratwurst, spaetzle, potato salad, and more. Don’t forget to wash it down with your favorite German beer! Prost!

Sommerfest — Quick Service

Sommerfest greets you with the smell of sauerkraut! The counter service menu features traditional southern German favorites: bratwurst, GIGANTIC pretzels, and a variety of German beers and wines.

We also highly recommend the Pretzel Bread Pudding here for dessert!

Karamell-Küche — Snack Location

Karamell-Küche (which is German for “caramel kitchen”) lures you in with the sweet smell of buttery caramel!

Once inside, you’ll spy many tempting sweets behind the glass counters — from candy squares in an assortment of flavors to cookies and decadently covered apples… all this and much more featuring golden caramel as the star ingredient.

Germany Bier Hovels — Drink and Snack Location

Germany Hovels is a kiosk where find a variety of German beverages including beer (of course!), shots of Jagermeister, and even German wines.

Tutto Italia Ristorante — Table Service

Tutto Italia Ristorante serves authentic Italian cuisine in a richly decorated dining room featuring painted murals of ancient Rome.

Pizza al Taglio — Seasonal Quick Service

Pizza al Taglio serves up tasty Sicilian-style (thick crust) pizza by the slice!

Do note, though, that Pizza al Taglio is open seasonally (which means it operates only during the park’s busiest seasons), so it may not be serving during your visit.

The American Adventure Pavilion Restaurants — EPCOT’s World Showcase

Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts & Barbecue — Quick Service

Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts & Barbecue is a fast-casual restaurant that celebrates the regions of American BBQ and serves up craft brews on tap!

Guests are encouraged to try any of the four house-recipe sauces while they enjoy their Memphis Dry-Rub Pork Ribs, Sliced Texas Beef Brisket Sandwich, or Kansas City Half-Smoked Chicken — to name just a few entrees on the menu.

An abundance of seating is available indoors and out, with the outdoor seating area boasting a large smoker AND even more sips available at an outdoor walk-up bar. 

Fife and Drum Tavern — Snack Location

If you’re looking for a Jumbo Turkey Leg, popcorn, or the American Dream (a slushy-meets-ice cream treat which is unique to this location), Fife and Drum Tavern is your place!

After ordering, you can find a seat at the tables around Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts & Barbecue.

Funnel Cakes Stand — Snack Location

At the Funnel Cakes Stand, you can order the old standby: Funnel Cake with ice cream or other traditional toppings.

Or you can be a little adventurous and try one of the seasonal flavors at certain times during the year! These are often served as specialty items during EPCOT’s seasonal Festivals.

Block and Hans Craft Beers — Outdoor Bar

Block and Hans have a reputation for being “Purveyors of Fine American Ale.”

In other words, this kiosk is a sure bet for a place to grab a craft beer in World Showcase!

Japan Pavilion Restaurants — EPCOT’s World Showcase

Teppan Edo — Table Service

Teppan Edo is Hibachi grill dining at its best!

With family-style seating around a large grill, your own personal chef to whip up your meal, and a fresh and exciting “show” every time, this is a great spot to dine with a group.

Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya — Table Service

Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya

presents dining in the style of Japanese Izakaya, a type of casual pub-style restaurant that puts an emphasis on drinks and conversations with friends. The menu features “Japanese delights” such as sushi and teppan items, plus an open sushi bar and grill.

The change from season to season brings a brand new celebration of Japanese food and culture to the restaurant, and changing menu items represent a different Japanese seasonal festival! Guests will also enjoy views of World Showcase and — when the timing is right — fireworks!

Takumi-Tei — Table Service; Fine Dining

Takumi-Tei brought fine signature dining to EPCOT’s Japan pavilion when it opened in 2019. Takumi-Tei — which means “house of the artisan” — is inspired by Japan’s natural beauty.

Takumi-Tei currently features a prix-fixe menu consisting of two omakase* multi-course meal options: an omnivorous meal for $250 per person (including the diner’s choice of Japanese A5 wagyu steak, Roasted duck, or Grilled Chilean seabass), and a plant-based meal for $150 per person. Wine pairing is also an option with the omasake meals. (*Omasake dining is a style where you “leave it up to the chef” and let them curate your meal!)

Katsura Grill — Quick Service

Katsura Grill is settled up on a little picturesque hill in the Japan pavilion.

Choose from many satisfying meal options (including sushi and teriyaki) and sit amidst a beautiful Japanese garden with relaxing water features or take in the quiet indoors under the exposed beam wooden roof.

France Pavilion Restaurants — EPCOT’s World Showcase

Chefs de France — Table Service

Chefs de France is an authentic French bistro that serves all of your favorites, from escargot to profiteroles and well beyond!

Settle in at one of the window-side tables to enjoy some World Showcase people-watching, or ensconce yourself in the middle of the action in the back room with the soaring ceiling. From food to service, it’s a winner.

Monsieur Paul Restaurant — Table Service; Fine Dining

Monsieur Paul Restaurant is a culinary tribute to Chef Paul Bocuse. Each meal starts with a glass of champagne (for of-age guests) and then progresses through five courses with The Gastronomic Meal of The French.

The view is beautiful, the food is delectable, and the service is excellent at this Signature dining restaurant. (P.S. Even though Monsieur Paul is located in a theme park, the restaurant requests that guests adhere to the dress code, and you may find the details here.)

La Crêperie de Paris — Table Service

La Crêperie de Paris features a menu from celebrity chef Jérôme Bocuse with everything made-to-order, and draws its inspiration from the Brittany region of France.

Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie — Quick Service

Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie is an authentic French bakery where you’ll pretty much always encounter a line… but, believe me when I say, the wait is well worth it! And you’ll need some of that extra time to peruse all the tempting goodies — both sweet and savory — that fill the beautiful bakery cases.

Indulge in decadent pastries and delicious desserts — or order a fresh sandwich made with simple but high-quality ingredients or perhaps a soup or salad to enjoy a full meal. (Better yet, order several items from among the expansive offerings to sample and share!)

L’Artisan des Glaces — Snack Location

L’Artisan des Glaces scoops up sixteen different flavors of house-made ice cream and sorbet. But that’s certainly not all…

In addition to the ice cream and sorbet served in traditional waffle cones or a cup, you can also get an Ice Cream Martini served with Grand Marnier, Rum, or Whipped Cream Vodka! Additional specialty items include Macaron Ice Cream Sandwiches in seasonal varieties, Brioche Ice Cream Sandwiches (Croque Glace), cappuccino served with ice cream (Cafe Glace), and more.

The Les Vins des Chefs de France is home to two of the most delicious and refreshing adult beverages at Walt Disney World.

We’re talking about the Grand Marnier Orange Slush and the Grey Goose Citron Lemon Slush. (P.S. You may also order either of these as a Le Geant Slush to have yours “Super Sized!”) Don’t miss ’em!

United Kingdom Pavilion Restaurants — EPCOT’s World Showcase

Rose and Crown Pub and Dining Room — Table Service and Bar

Rose and Crown Pub and Dining Room is a cozy and beautiful little pub tucked that offers a hearty, delicious menu of British favorites including Shepherd’s Pie and Fish and Chips. (Food service currently starts at 3:45PM each day.)

And guests can enjoy a drink throughout the day on the bar side of things… the “Pub,” of course, of the Pub and Dining Room!

Yorkshire County Fish Shop — Quick Service

Yorkshire County Fish Shop does one thing only, and does it really well: it serves up a mean Fish & Chips!

Due to this chippie’s popularity, the tables are often full; you may have to do a little balancing act with your food and stroll around for a place to sit — perhaps a bench in the back of the pavilion — and enjoy your dish. But rest assured — it’s well worth the bit of work to enjoy this classic EPCOT dining experience!

Rose and Crown Beer Stand — Outdoor Kiosk

Rose and Crown Beer Stand presents offerings that can vary a bit with the seasons, but you’ll typically find selections like Bass Ale Draft, Stella Artois, and Guinness, as well as hard cider.

The stand is located just outside the Rose and Crown Pub.

Canada Pavilion Restaurants — EPCOT’s World Showcase

Le Cellier Steakhouse — Table Service; Signature Dining

Le Cellier Steakhouse is a lovely cellar tucked in the Canada pavilion. The dining room is quite small, and themed to look as if you’re dining in a Canadian wine cellar the likes of those at Le Château Frontenac and Fairmont Château Laurier.

The food is uniformly delicious at this Signature restaurant, in my opinion. Steaks are great, appetizers (Like the Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup) are innovative and hearty, and I’m always up for the Signature Poutine and the unique varieties of the dish served here.

Canada Popcorn Cart — Snack Cart

While the Canada Popcorn Cart serves up — you guessed it! — buttered popcorn, it also serves a specialty item: Maple Popcorn!

You’ll also find beverages available, including some unique beers from Canada and often a cocktail as well.

More EPCOT and World Showcase Eateries

Joffrey’s Coffee and Tea Kiosks

You’ll find four Joffrey’s Coffee and Tea Kiosks around EPCOT. Specialty tea and espresso beverages (which can be made hot or iced) are up for grabs, along with sweet treats like pastries and other goodies.

You’re also bound to spot something custom-made for the current EPCOT Festival, with each Joffrey’s location crafting its own unique treats for these seasonal events. You can even find a few “Spirited Beverages” (coffee or slush cocktails!) on the list.

P.S. Lines can get LOOOONG at the Connections Cafe Starbucks location in World Celebration, so it’s good to know that Joffrey’s Coffee awaits you around the park (with FAR fewer folks in line)!

Refreshment Outpost

Refreshment Outpost is located on a path between the China and Germany Pavilions. These days, the Outpost is perhaps best known for serving specialty items for EPCOT’s seasonal Festivals.

However, there are a few standard items on the menu that tend to stick around all year long, including Hot Dogs (which is good to know if your little traveler is craving something familiar among all of EPCOT’s international fare), and adults can grab a beer. But Refreshment Outpost is also where you can typically find what used to be a Magic Kingdom-exclusive treat: the famous and beloved Pineapple DOLE Whip! 

Refreshment Port

Located just before the Canada Pavilion (coming from World Celebration), the Refreshment Port menu is ever-changing… except for one very special item. Over the past few years, the Refreshment Port has served a Traditional Poutine (as a nod the the nearby Canada pavilion), and unique twists on the dish are often served during EPCOT Festivals!

This dish and its variations have put the Refreshment Port “on the map” for many guests, and these days you’ll often encounter a bit of a line for the popular snack.

EPCOT Dining Tips & Tricks

Now that you’ve got a better idea of WHERE you want to eat, we have a few tips, tricks, and reminders on how to make it happen.

Advance Dining Reservations

A friendly reminder: Advance Dining Reservations open 60 days in advance. And Disney World Resort hotel guests may make reservations up to 60 days in advance plus the length of their stay up to 10 days. (So, 60 days before the first day of your stay, you can make reservations for the entire trip, even for days that are more than 60 days out.)

If dining at a specific Table Service restaurant is very important to you, be sure to be up and at ’em 60 days prior to the day you want to dine to make that Advance Dining Reservation — we explain the entire process HERE.

Know the Disney World Calendar

These days, more often than not, your trip may fall over one of EPCOT’s four seasonal Festivals, such as the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival! These Festivals have the potential to change your dining strategy in a few ways.

For example, each Festival presents Outdoor Food Booths specific to the Festival’s theme. You may be so tempted to “Eat Around the World” that you may just forego an Advance Dining Reservation altogether!

Conversely, each Festival presents its own Concert Series (like the Food and Wine Festival’s Eat to the Beat Concert Series), and Dining Packages are available for booking which offer a meal paired with guaranteed seating for the evening’s performance. This is a great way to relax during your day without worrying about lining up super duper early for a seat.

Peruse Restaurant Menus in Advance

Traveling with a picky eater, or perhaps you have someone in your group with a dietary allergy or intolerance? You can peruse menus in advance of your trip to make sure everyone in your group has something they would eat before you make that Advance Dining Reservation. How? 

You can find menus for each restaurant in the My Disney Experience app. And you can visit our Disney World Restaurants page and simply click on any restaurant name. That will lead you to the page for that restaurant, and you’ll find direct menu links on each page. 

WHEW! Now that you know about EVERY SINGLE PLACE to dine in EPCOT, and have a few tips and tricks up your sleeve, all you have to do is decide what and where you want to eat! And we’ve provided a couple of resources below — including our DFB YouTube video ranking EVERY restaurant in EPCOT — to help you do exactly that!
