Best place to eat in Epcot?

I would have to agree with theBIGyowski - the Sunshine Seasons in The Land has a big variety. You can all get something a little different and share...

We prefer the Garden Grill food is fantastic, a little pricey though!!!

Yeah, the Garden Grill does have good food, or at least they did when we were there 7 or 8 years ago, but I was pretty sure it had switched over to a character dining experience. And those tend to run a little on the expensive side, well over the $15/person that tomdavo1 is looking to spend...

Hmmmmm, $15/person limit? That knocks out a lot of places! Amy and theBIGyowski are right about the Sunshine Seasons in the Land - you can eat there under that limit. Both China and Japan have a more "fast-food" oriented eating places you can try that would be under that limit. Otherwise, with the more $$ dining options, you would have to split a meal to achieve the $15/person goal.

I would go for the sandwiches in Norway or France.

My perfect lunch is the cheese plate in france with a creme brulee for dessert while drinking a glass of Rosa Regale from Italy. (I do this 2 or 3x a trip.)

Another vote for the Seasons Cafe. For about $15 a plate, you get generous portions of good-quality food (not greasy fast-food fare). It's one of the best places to eat on the whole property as far as I'm concerned.

DF and I will be eating at Sunshine Seasons first thing when we get to Epcot since we'll be getting there around lunchtime. Of course she will be my DW then! Coral Reef will be dinner that night followed by Illuminations!

It is a little sad that our first day there will have 2 meals in Epcot with neither of them being in a country. We will be eating at San Angel Inn later in the week and hopefully the new pizzeria in Italy if it opens on time.

I enjoy the Rose and Crown...but I think that has more to do with drink then food.

Okay, I'm there. This is a great meal, even better than fish n chips with a Guinness.

Dang! I just read on the previous page about the Cantina. I was going to suggest that...does anyone know if the watermelon juice will be (or is) still available? That was always hubby's favorite!

My second choicce would be at The Land...there was a great variety of foods there! (I'm pretty sure it's the Sunshine Seasons Cafe...the large open eating area kind of food court style, right? Sorry, it's been a long time since we've been there))

Thanks...I'm hoping to play the "it's our honeymoon" card the duration of the trip. Maybe that will get us a great table everywhere we go! DF doesn't want to wear the honeymoon ears...so I guess our buttons will have to do most of the talking.

The Coral Reef has some of the best food on property! My DW and I use it for our date night! I love the tuna!

I got lucky my first time there last February with no special occasion. Even if you don't get a good seat, you still have a good view.

The buttons might work, but you get more attention with the honeymoon ears! I wore mine all the time, couldn't get DH to wear his top hat very often though. I say go for the ears! Make the most out of it!!!
