    Question Epcot Eats?

    As I work on my ADRs to call in next week, I realize I do not have anything picked for our day at Epcot (planning this for Mon based on the crowd report here).

    Can anyone recommend a good lunch or dinner choice? It will be four adults and two girls 5&7? Thinking about Coral Reef.

    Thanks!

    I am sure your girls would enjoy seeing the fish in the huge aquarium at Coral Reef.

    Other ideas would be the Princess Storybook Lunch at Norway and Garden Grill in the Land Pavilion. Both are character meals.
    Also fun is Marrakesh in Morocco. The food is excellent and they have live music and a belly dancer- and young girls enjoy joining her for belly dancing!

    Really- just about any of the countries in World Showcase have wonderful meals at lunchtime. You can't go wrong in Epcot! It's my favorite place to dine.

    I would like to recommend Chefs de France - they are even tying Ratatoulli movie into it so it makes it fun for the little ones. The food was really good last year. They have a great kids menu and you and Mom can still eat some good French quasi fine food. My all time fave there no matter whos the chef is the escargot

    I like Marrakesh alright (I like the CS Tangeriene Cafe better).. the belly dancer and the restaurant itself are great but the food may be a little over spiced/flavored for "little" palates IMO but you would know how adventurous your kids are - if they like to try new things I say go for it!

    If you dont hibachi regularly at home you wont be disappointed in Teppen Edo in Japan either! Ive not been since theyve switched over but its always fun and good food!

    The Coral Reef is excellent and your girls definately would love the aquarium...I find the place very relaxing and the food was great.

    We are also a big fan of Akershus princess dining.. the character interaction is great and the girls will LOVE to see all the princesses! The fook is good, different but good. We especially enjoyed the appetizer buffet and the desserts.

    Have fun planning and let us know what you decided!

    For kids I would say that Coral Reef would be a good choice too...

    If you are choosing for the girls, then probably one of the options already listed. Otherwise, we do LeCellier in Canada, every trip. It is very yummy and my kids have always enjoyed going there. They are now 12, 13, 14 and 17, but they have been going there for many years, and always have loved it.

    Another fun restaurant that we love going to with our family is the Biergarten in Germany. It's a fun show and the food is pretty good too!!

    I love the dining choices the others gave, though if you are thinking about Coral Reef I give it a big thumbs up. We just ate there with 11 kids in our group and it was a big hit. The food was fantastic, it actually exceeded my expectations.

    I happen to have two girls as well and Coral Reef is one of their favorites. They of course also love the Princesses at Norway but they do not eat as well there. At Coral reef they seem to eat very well and love the aquarium. If you are not choosing for the girls but for yourself then LeCellier is a must. My kids love this place too there just isn't any entertainment.

    I would suggest doing the Princess Storybook breakfast in the morning, maybe a light lunch if needed, and then dinner at Coral Reef if that's what the adults want.
    I'll meet you at the Rainbow Bridge.

    I'd have to say Coral Reef and Biergarten. Coral Reef's aquarium seems to memorize children. The Biergarten has a live band with a small dance floor and the kids seem to really enjoy getting up and dancing. It's a fun atmosphere.

    Chef de France is great for lunch. The large windows make for a nicely lite room and great for pepole watching.
