Quick Service Dining at EPCOT

Sunshine Seasons – The Land Pavilion

Sunshine Seasons is a fantastic pick for families who want plenty of variety. Located in the heart of The Land Pavilion, this bright and airy food court offers everything from rotisserie chicken and fresh salads to pizza rolls and Asian-inspired dishes. It’s a great choice if your group has different tastes—or if you just want a lot of options in one place.


Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts & Barbecue – American Adventure Pavilion

This patriotic quick-service spot is a love letter to classic American barbecue. The menu features regional specialties like Kansas City smoked chicken, Memphis dry-rub pork ribs, and North Carolina chopped pork. You can customize your meal with four house-made BBQ sauces representing different U.S. barbecue traditions. Pair your plate with seasoned fries, onion rings, or a fresh side salad—and if you’re of age, don’t miss the rotating selection of craft beers on tap.


🧚‍♀️Pixie Dust Pro Tip – Festival Booths

EPCOT’s four annual festivals—Festival of the Arts, Flower & Garden Festival, Food & Wine Festival, and Festival of the Holidays—transform the park into a culinary playground. During these events, festival-specific booths pop up all over World Showcase (and sometimes into Future World) with small plates and specialty drinks you can’t get anywhere else.

For booth locations year-round, check out our EPCOT International Festival Maps. If you’re visiting during the current season, our EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival Guide 2025 has all the menus, must-try picks, and planning tips you need.

🧚‍♀️ Pixie Dust Pro Tip: If you want to master Quick Service dining across all of Walt Disney World, our Disney World Quick Service Dining Guide covers everything from how to avoid the longest lines to mobile ordering hacks—and of course, our top picks at each park.


Table Service Dining at EPCOT


Fish and chips at Rose and Crown in EPCOT

EPCOT is a table-service paradise—especially around World Showcase, where each pavilion offers flavors inspired by its home country. From buttery steak and fine wine to flaky fish and fresh sushi, there’s something for every craving. Many of these restaurants also feature unique cultural touches, from authentic decor to entertainment that transports you right into the story of the cuisine.


🧚‍♀️ Pixie Dust Pro Tip: EPCOT’s most popular restaurants can book up fast—sometimes 60 days in advance! If you’re new to Disney’s Advanced Dining Reservation system, our ADR FAQ has everything you need to know about snagging those hard-to-get tables.


Rose & Crown Dining Room – United Kingdom Pavilion

Rose & Crown feels like stepping into a cozy neighborhood pub in Great Britain—complete with wood-paneled walls, vintage beer signage, and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. The menu features hearty British classics like Fish & Chips, Shepherd’s Pie, and Bangers and Mash, alongside seasonal specials and a well-rounded drink list that includes imported beers, ciders, and specialty cocktails.


In years past, lucky guests could show up early for a reservation and request patio seating for a front-row view of EPCOT’s nighttime spectacular. Today, that prime real estate is offered through the Rose & Crown Fireworks Dining Package, which includes a prix fixe menu and guaranteed outdoor seating. Even without the package, the restaurant is worth a visit for its comforting fare and warm hospitality.


🧚‍♀️ Pixie Dust Pro Tip: If you don’t book the fireworks package but still want outdoor seating, it never hurts to ask when you check in—on slower nights, you might just get lucky. For other dining experiences that pair great views with nighttime entertainment, see our Fireworks Dessert Parties & Dining Packages Guide


Le Cellier Steakhouse – Canada Pavilion

Tucked away in the stone walls of a charming chateau, Le Cellier offers one of EPCOT’s most intimate dining settings. Low lighting, cozy nooks, and warm wood accents make it feel like a hidden escape from the bustle of World Showcase—a perfect spot for a special occasion or a leisurely evening meal.


The menu showcases Canadian-inspired flavors with a refined twist. The Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup, made with Moosehead beer and bacon, has earned cult-favorite status and pairs beautifully with the warm pretzel bread rolls delivered to your table. Entrées range from perfectly seared Filet Mignon with Mushroom Risotto to Maple-Brined Pork, Atlantic Salmon, and seasonal plant-based options, all presented with attention to flavor and detail. A thoughtfully curated wine list—heavy on Canadian selections—adds to the experience.


🧚‍♀️ Pixie Dust Pro Tip: Le Cellier is one of EPCOT’s signature dining locations, and reservations can be tough to snag. Plan ahead, or check the My Disney Experience app for last-minute openings. You’ll find this and other fine dining picks in our Disney World Signature Dining Guide.


Character Meals at EPCOT



Character dining with Mickey Mouse at the Garden Grill in EPCOT

Garden Grill – The Land Pavilion

Tucked inside The Land Pavilion, Garden Grill is one of EPCOT’s most unique dining experiences—and not just because the restaurant slowly rotates as you eat. This family-style charmer serves up the Harvest Feast, featuring vegetables grown right there in the pavilion’s greenhouses. It’s the kind of meal where fresh really means fresh.

From the moment you’re seated, a few very special hosts—Chip, Dale, Pluto, and “Farmer Mickey” in his overalls begin to swing by your table. As you enjoy each course, your view subtly changes, revealing scenes from the Living with the Land attraction below: lush rainforests, sprawling farm fields, and a twinkling prairie night sky.


  • Pricing (2025):

    • Breakfast: $49 per adult / $33 per child (ages 3-9) plus tax and gratuity

    • Lunch & Dinner (Harvest Feast): $62 per adult / $42 per child (ages 3-9) plus tax and gratuity(Prices include non-alcoholic beverages)


🧚‍♀️ Pixie Dust Pro Tip: Book a breakfast reservation before park opening. You’ll get to stroll through an almost-empty Future World, enjoy a leisurely meal with the characters, and then head straight to Soarin’—often with little to no wait in the standby line.


Akershus Royal Banquet Hall – Norway Pavilion

Step through the heavy, medieval-style doors and you’ve entered a regal world straight out of a fairy tale. Modeled after a grand Norwegian castle—with soaring archways, stone walls, and cathedral-style ceilings—it’s easy to imagine you’ve stepped into the royal banquet hall of a Disney Princess herself.


At the heart of the experience is the Princess Storybook Dining, where beloved princesses—typically Ariel, Belle, Snow White, Aurora, and Tiana—visit each table for photos, autographs, and a little conversation. If you’re looking for a character meal that delivers multiple royal encounters without the wait, this is one of the most efficient ways to tick every princess off your list. It’s also a fantastic alternative to Cinderella’s Royal Table in Magic Kingdom—often easier to book, slightly less expensive, and with a more relaxed, spacious atmosphere.


Breakfast here is a hearty, family-style affair with scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, potato casserole, pastries, and fresh fruit. At lunch and diner adventurous diners can sample Scandinavian flavors from the appetizer selection, while picky eaters will still find plenty of approachable favorites to fill their plates.

  • Pricing (2025):

    • Breakfast: ~$59 per adult / ~$38 per child (ages 3–9), plus tax and gratuity

    • Lunch & Dinner: ~$69 per adult / ~$46 per child (ages 3–9), plus tax and gratuity


🧚‍♀️ Pixie Dust Pro Tip: Book early—this character meal fills quickly. Once seated, take a moment to admire the intricate stonework before your food arrives. From the appetizer buffet to the rotating princess visits, it’s worth slowing down to savor every royal detail.


Snacks at EPCOT

EPCOT is a snacker’s paradise, with delicious bites tucked into nearly every pavilion. Whether you’re fueling up for a long walk around World Showcase or just indulging in a little “dessert first” philosophy, these are our favorite spots to grab something quick, tasty, and memorable.


School Bread in Norway at EPCOT

Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe – Norway Pavilion

Follow the crowds of excited Frozen fans heading toward Frozen Ever After, then veer left, and you’ll stumble upon this charming little bakery. With a cozy covered seating area out back and an ever-changing selection of pastries, Kringla is a sweet escape from the rush. The star of the show is the School Bread—a soft cardamom bun filled with vanilla custard and topped with coconut. It’s just the right amount of sweet to power you through your World Showcase adventure.


Crêpes à Emporter – France Pavilion

This quick-service window is part of La Crêperie de Paris in the Ratatouille section of France and offers a menu of sweet and savory crêpes perfect for a portable treat. Try a classic butter-and-sugar crêpe for something simple, or go indulgent with hazelnut-chocolate. Savory lovers will appreciate the ham, cheese, and egg option. They’re ideal for sharing—but no judgment if you keep it all to yourself..


Maple Popcorn – Canada Pavilion

Yes, you’ll hear plenty of hype about the caramel popcorn in Germany (and it’s absolutely worth a stop), but we’re partial to the Maple Popcorn in Canada. The subtle sweetness and warm, toasty flavor make it a unique Disney snack you can’t get in every park. Pick some up before you settle in for a show at Canada Far and Wide or while you wander through the gardens.


Choza de Margarita – Mexico Pavilion

If you’re “drinking around the world,” Choza de Margarita is already on your radar for its variety of creative margaritas. But even if you’re skipping the drinks, this outdoor stand is worth a stop for its guacamole topped with mango and pumpkin seeds. The sweetness of the mango paired with the crunch of the seeds makes it a little more special than your average guac—and it’s perfect for sharing.


🧚‍♀️ Pixie Dust Pro Tip: EPCOT snack lines can get long mid-afternoon. If you can, aim for a mid-morning or early-evening snack break to beat the crowds and snag the best seating spots.

Final Bites

EPCOT is a park that celebrates food as much as it celebrates culture, making it one of the best places in Walt Disney World to slow down and truly savor the experience. Whether you’re grabbing a School Bread in Norway, sipping wine with steak in Canada, or enjoying a rotating meal above Living with the Land, dining here can be just as memorable as the attractions themselves.


By focusing on a few favorite spots, you can build your day around meals that fit your style—whether that’s quick bites between rides, a relaxing table service escape, or a snack-hopping tour around World Showcase. And remember, with four seasonal festivals each year, the menu at EPCOT is always evolving—there’s always something new to taste.


🧚‍♀️ Pixie Dust Pro Tip: For the best experience, mix it up—plan one table service meal to rest your feet, a couple of iconic EPCOT snacks, and leave room for a spontaneous festival booth stop or two. Your taste buds will thank you.
