Guests love dining at Disney because of their extensive options, and there is truly something for every guest to enjoy at the Disney parks. Many guests enjoy dining indoors, especially during hot days in Florida. However, there are plenty of outdoor dining experiences that guests should try during their next Disney vacation. EPCOT is home to many different restaurants, and has made a name for itself as a foodie’s paradise. If you find yourself walking throughout EPCOT this year then check out these outdoor dining experiences that you should try!
Katsura Grill
Located in the Japan pavilion, Katsura Grill is a quick-service restaurant that you should definitely try during your next trip to EPCOT. This restaurant does have indoor seating, but it tends to fill up quickly. Luckily, the outdoor seating area is beautiful and located in a Japanese garden with plenty of shade. Guests can listen to the flowing water fountain and see fish, greenery, and enjoy being outdoors at this lovely restaurant. Katsura Grill serves Japanese food like sushi rolls, ramen, udon, Japanese curry, teriyaki, and more. Guests can also enjoy Japanese cocktails made with Sake, or Japanese beers.
La Cantina De San Angel
Located in the Mexico pavilion of World Showcase, La Cantina de San Angel serves classic Mexican dishes in a great setting. Guests can enjoy cheese empanadas, tacos, nachos, chicken bowls, chips, and guacamole at this restaurant. They can also grab margaritas or churro sundaes. This restaurant does have indoor seating as well, but the outdoor seating is located on the water and features picture-perfect views of World Showcase Lagoon. On a nice day, it’s the perfect place to sit and enjoy a meal or a drink while you take in the views.
Lotus Blossom Cafe
Also located within World Showcase at the China pavilion is Lotus Blossom Cafe. Here guests can enjoy Chinese food like orange chicken, sweet and sour chicken, teriyaki, and so much more. Guests can sit outside and take in the stunning views of the China pavilion with its great architecture and color.
Yorkshire County Fish Shop
Located within the United Kingdom pavilion, the Yorkshire County Fish Shop is where you can grab a traditional fish and chips meal just like you’d find in England. Guests can dine outdoors and feel immersed in the United Kingdom setting, like they are eating from a real street vendor in London.
Sommerfest
Located in the Germany pavilion, Sommerfest is where you can get German sausages, pretzels, and of course…beer! There are plenty of areas to sit around the pavilion while you enjoy these yummy snacks. Guests love the sights and sounds of this pavilion!
