Best place to eat in Epcot?

[Soarin08]

I want to eat at Teppan Edo, but none of my family or my friends will go there!

Sounds like me! Only my mom wants to go with me. UGH!

I'd go for a cup of the onion soup in France, followed by a trip to Kringla Bakerei in Norway for a small dessert, and maybe a stop in Germany for a dark beer. Now that's a lunch...

For Lunch I'll usually end up at the Electric Umbrella. It's normal American counter service, but I can't say it's the best. I really like the Ham and Cheese Baguettes from the Chefs De France Bakery, and they're only like $5.

In my opinion, the best restaurant in Epcot (my favorite in all of WDW) is the Garden Grille in the Land Pavilion. Go for dinner, because the lunch menu is missing some of the great things that the full dinner menu has. It is a bit pricey though, at over $20/person, but I think it's worth it.

Is the Garden Grill still a character dining experience?

I believe it is, but only for dinner.

We had a blast when we went to Garden Grill! I'd love to go again sometime!

Just a little FYI for everyone: we're in the process of booking all our ADR's for our December trip, and we're finding that Le Cellier seems to have become very popular.
It has always been one of our favorites, but now, apparently, word is really getting around. I say this because in the process of calling to do some follow-up on our reservations, the CM who talked to me on the phone actually said, "oh, I see you have a reservation for Le Cellier already... congratulations!" She went on to say that it is getting very hard to get a reservation there for some reason (her theory is that it is smaller than some others, so....). I surmise, though, that it is just a super great place to eat, and is getting to be very well known. So bottom line: if you can get a slot there, go for it! You can't go wrong.

Thanks for the heads up Mousekedude. We're going to try and get it for the last night we are there in December.

Yes, Le Cellier has become one of the most popular restaurants in all of Walt Disney World. In fact, when I called to make reservations for my trip last week, I was told that there were no reservations whatsoever, and that Le Cellier has become so popular that the reservations will be completely booked 180 days earlier, when reservations open up. I remember a few years ago when I was able to walk up and wait maybe 30 minutes for a table there.

It's definitely a treat if you can get in.

Could it be that there are lots of "lurkers" on the site who have been watching our every keystroke about the yummy goodness that is Le Cellier?!

Not just watching but ready to pounce, I've got a reminder on the computer when the ADR opens. Le Cellier is top of my list thanks to Len90 and if I'm really lucky I might get it for Valentines day.

Sleepy90 - Don't get too discouraged if you can't get it. Today I tried to get it for Dec 5th and they we're already booked. Today is the 180 day mark also...

[Mouseoholic]

When I booked I had to try 3 different times and ended up having to cancel another reservation and take a lunch res. just to get a table for 4. That was 179 days out. We have eaten there before and reservations went quick, but not that quick. Amazing!

What's really sad is on our last trip we had reservations for Chef Mickey's for 4 persons. The night before no one was interested in getting up early the next morning. I was so disappointed. Mousekedude was sick/tired and my parents were exhausted. So sad.....

I guess if for some reason we deceide to cancel (not...) I should e-bay the LeCelier reservation.

Mouseoholic!

Mouseoholic - The only saving grace is that they are saving some reservations for the Candlelight Processional/Dinner which they are not booking yet. I may be able to get it then but they don't know when they are going to start booking.
