Where to Dine at EPCOT Outside of the World Showcase

EPCOT is known for its food and dining experiences. When you think of dining at EPCOT you might first think of World Showcase. While it is true that World Showcase contains several dining experiences that bring other cultures to you through food, there are several fantastic dining opportunities outside of World Showcase as well. Whether you prefer to stick to American-style cuisine, or you are simply out to try something new, EPCOT has you covered! Here are a few places to dine at EPCOT outside of World Showcase.

Space 220

If you are looking for an exciting restaurant experience then you will love Space 220. Space 220 is more than a restaurant, it is an attraction as well! Prior to dining guests board the “space elevator” where they are elevated 220 miles into the atmosphere! This elevator experience is so fun for little kids and grown ups too, as the visuals seen are interactive with the weather in real time! Once guests disembark the “elevator” they arrive at the restaurant and are greeted by large “windows” overlooking outer space and our planet Earth.

The menu here is a prix-fixe meal consisting of space-themed appetizers, entrees, and desserts. Guests can expect to dine on delicious foods like swordfish, salmon, filet mignon, and so much more. This restaurant experience is currently priced at $55 for lunch and $79 for dinner.

Garden Grill Restaurant

Character meals are a great way to meet your favorite characters and have a delicious meal, and EPCOT is home to one of the best! Garden Grill Restaurant is located in The Land pavilion and features a farm fresh menu, rotating views of the Living with the Land attraction, and interactions with your favorite Disney characters. Farmer Mickey, Pluto, Chip, and Dale all greet you while you dine on this family-style all-you-care-to-enjoy feast. Guests will enjoy roasted turkey, cornbread, steak, mashed potatoes, and more for lunch and dinner!

Coral Reef Restaurant

Another unique dining experience within EPCOT is Coral Reef Restaurant, located in World Nature near The Seas with Nemo and Friends. This restaurant specializes in seafood and serves delicious entrees like salmon, shrimp and grits, and mahi mahi. While you dine you overlook a stunning aquarium, one of the largest saltwater tanks in the world, that is filled with sharks, fish, and even the occasional diver! Guests love Coral Reef Restaurant for its sophistication and its beautiful views. This restaurant is a great option for children as well!
