Space 220 Restaurant

Cuisine: Contemporary international and American | Price: $$$–$$$$

Space 220 begins with a simulated journey into orbit before guests dine against dramatic views of Earth from a space station supposedly positioned 220 miles above the planet. Lunch currently features a two-course prix-fixe menu, while dinner is a three-course experience, with dishes such as Galactic Salmon alongside inventive starters and desserts. The space elevator journey, panoramic daytime and nighttime Earth views and space-themed drinks make this one of EPCOT’s most immersive restaurants, particularly for families and first-time visitors.

Le Cellier Steakhouse

Cuisine: American and steakhouse | Price: $$$

Located in the Canada pavilion, Le Cellier is known for steaks and Canadian-inspired dishes in an intimate cellar-style dining room. Disney classifies it as Fine/Signature Dining, with specialties including Canadian cheddar cheese soup, poutine, seafood, butcher’s cuts and the signature Le Cellier filet mignon, followed by desserts such as maple crème brûlée. Stone arches, candle-style lighting and Canadian wines help recreate the wine cellars of grand château-style hotels, making it a popular choice for couples and special occasions.

Biergarten Restaurant

Cuisine: German buffet | Price: $$$

Germany’s Biergarten recreates a lively Bavarian village celebration with buffet dining. Rotating selections can include bratwurst, pork schnitzel, roasted chicken, salads and freshly prepared apple strudel, with German beers and wines available for guests aged 21 and over. Communal biergarten-style tables, a twilit village setting and live polka-style entertainment turn lunch or dinner into an Oktoberfest-inspired experience rather than simply a buffet meal.

Chefs de France

Cuisine: French | Price: $$

A classic World Showcase option serving approachable French favorites in a bustling Parisian-style dining room. The seasonally changing menu can include French onion soup, beef tenderloin and roasted duck, alongside signature desserts such as crème brûlée and chocolate tart and a selection of imported French wines. High ceilings, mosaic flooring and large windows overlooking the World Showcase promenade give the bright brasserie the atmosphere of a traditional Parisian café while remaining family friendly.

Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria

Cuisine: Italian | Price: $$

Located in the Italy pavilion, Via Napoli is particularly popular for pizza and familiar Italian favorites. Southern Italian dishes include lasagna, chicken parmigiana and salads, but the traditional Neapolitan pizzas are the main attraction, prepared using San Marzano tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and flour imported from Southern Italy. They are cooked in wood-burning ovens named after Italy’s active volcanoes — Etna, Vesuvius and Stromboli — adding extra character to this lively, family-friendly restaurant.

La Hacienda de San Angel

Cuisine: Mexican | Price: $$

Enjoy authentic Mexican cuisine while overlooking World Showcase Lagoon at this atmospheric Mexico pavilion restaurant. House-made corn tortillas and freshly prepared salsas accompany dishes such as queso fundido and parrillada mixed grills, while the drinks menu features margaritas, premium tequilas, Mexican beer and South American wines.
