Guide to the Best Epcot Restaurants
Dining at Epcot might just provide the best options in all of Disney World, mainly because of the park’s wonderful theming. In fact, while guests at Epcot can eat at a handful of restaurants in Future World, the exciting part of this park is getting immersed in a variety of different cultures as you scarf down amazing delicacies within the World Showcase.
Below, I will list all of your fantastic dining options at Epcot. I’ll break down the restaurants by location (Future World or World Showcase), and also include an average price range of how much you can expect to pay per adult (excluding alcoholic drinks, taxes, and gratuities).
Dining at Future World:
1) Coral Reef Restaurant (Table Service): This is a unique restaurant, as guests who dine here have the opportunity to gaze into the massive aquarium located at The Seas with Nemo and Friends. The menu has everything from lobster to steak, but many might argue that the real treat here is seeing sharks and sea turtles swim around in this beautifully themed restaurant.

3) Fountain View (Quick Service): If you’re stopping by Fountain View, you won’t be there for long. That’s because this quick service joint is just for guests that want a snack or two.

Everyone is familiar with the powdered sugar that’s usually put onto funnel cake, but you also have the option of adding apples, pumpkin spice, chocolate syrup, or vanilla ice-cream. Whatever you choose, just make sure you grab a lot of napkins. Trust me, I’m talking from personal experience here.

27) San Angel Inn Restaurante (Table Service): This is one of my favorite restaurants in all of Epcot. Located inside the Mexico pavilion, this is a beautifully themed restaurant (albeit a tad on the dark side, but it works as you’re intentionally dining at twilight) that begins with tortilla soup and avocado and can end with everything from grilled chicken and tacos to pork tenderloin.
What makes this restaurant stand out is certainly its theming. Along with the dim lighting, the restaurant itself is located next to a fun gift shop (where you can shop for rainbow colored sombreros), and a boat ride (specifically, the Gran Fiesta Tour Starring the Three Caballeros ride) slowly passes in front of you every so often. It all works to make one of the most distinctive eating experiences you can have in all of Disney World.
The San Angel Inn serves lunch and dinner. The average price per adult is $15 to $29.99. Some dining plans are accepted at this restaurant.

Here, every seat in the restaurant offers you a perfect view of the Teppan Edo chefs—mostly because they prepare your meals right at your table.

Not only can you get beer here, but you can get it served in your very own souvenir stein. As someone who doesn’t really drink, I can’t personally give you my opinion on this beer cart station. But if I did drink, I’d be all over that souvenir stein.
The UK Beer Cart only serves beverages. The average price per adult is $14.99 and under. No dining plans are accepted here.
36) Via Napoli (Table Service): I love Via Napoli. When I was there a couple of years ago, I had some of the best pizza I’ve ever had in my life. And coming from someone who consumes a lot of pizza, that’s saying something.
Located at the Italy pavilion, Via Napoli is a relatively newly constructed restaurant (it opened in 2010) that was created by the Patina Restaurant Group (which also operates Disneyland’s Naples Ristorante and New York City’s Naples 45 Ristorante e Pizzeria).
The menu features a wide variety of different pizza dishes, as well as lasagna and of course spaghetti. And that’s just scratching the surface.
Via Napoli offers lunch and dinner. The average pricing per adult in a party is $15 to $29.99. Some dining plans are accepted here, and a reservation for lunch or dinner seating is recommended.
