Please recommend a restaurant for dinner at Epcot

For us & our 2 & 4 year olds. The kids only eat typical kid foods.. most kinds of prepared chicken, pasta, pizza, maybe a burger if I cut it up & tell them it's meatballs- lol

What do you think of Coral Reef? The only thing they'd eat there is mac & cheese but I would think watching the tanks would be pretty cool during dinner.

We love Coral Reef! We also like Teppan Edo and the Biergarten (thought my kids eat anything).

We only tried Akershus for the princess dinner. If you have girls, they might like it.

Garden Grill. Great character interaction. Chip and dale came 3 times to our table, played peek a boo, joked around. Mickey danced with my kids and came by 3 times too. Pluto twice. Kids get chicken drumstick, Mac and cheese and sweet potato fries, chocolate cupcake cone.

Biergarten can be fun if you don't mind sitting at a big table. There is a band and dancefloor for the kids to get up and dance.

Akershus is fun for girls I highly recommend it. Friends who have boys and girls like it. The princesses give a lot of attention to the boys.

Coral reef is ok. Fish tanks are nice depending on where you sit, but the food is eh. There is a pizza place as well.

My kids find San angel inn fun bc the ride floats by the restaurant.

We loved Coral Reef. There were divers in the tank and they came right up to the glass by our table, tapped the glass and "high-fived" the kids. They were ecstatic! It was a great experience. I thought the food was great. Dh didn't love it, but he doesn't love seafood. The kids had typical kiddie food and they were content.

Coral reef is hit or miss. I vote for Garden Grill. The restaurant spins for Pete's sake lol!

Garden grill is amazing. They use produce that they grow there (that you can see in the living with the land ride).

Garden Grill is great, love the characters and the fact that it rotates. I feel like most of the World Showcase restaurants are sort of blah for kids except for the hibachi

not a fan of Coral Reef.

My sister just went to the restaurant in Moracco and loved it. The food is a little more adventurous for adults but the kids have some normal fare. They had belly dancers and all the kids went up and were dancing around. It was her favorite restaurant of the whole trip.

Via Napoli is really good. Garden Grill is nice but I just find it so hectic in that pavilion.

We did not request to sit there, we were just lucky, but they were very busy. Every table was occupied.

I agree: I have a boy and a girl and they both enjoyed it! First of all, the food is actually very good, but we are eastern European so their breaxfact with lox and smoked fish was right up our alley! Chat Icon

However, all their American staples are very good as well and when my son asked if he could have waffles the waiter said 'No problem" and got him his own waffles even though they were not part of what we ordered.

The princesses are very attentive to both boys and girls and the waiters, a lot of whom are male, also interact with kids, call the boys "princes" and let them know in all possible ways that they are on theirs, boys', side when it comes to all the princess and girly business! Chat Icon

Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience for boys, girls, man and women in our party! Chat Icon
