Disney4me Posted 18 hours ago Report Share Posted 18 hours ago It’s no secret that EPCOT has a lot of fantastic dining options. We talk about our favorites all the time. Thanks to the World Showcase, you can — quite literally — dine and snack around the world in EPCOT. World Showcase BUT let’s just take a moment to talk about those restaurants that we just don’t ever book, maybe because we don’t like their atmosphere, or we think they’re overrated or overpriced, or we just don’t think the food is that great. We’ve got three to tell you about that we just don’t go to, and we’re going to tell you why. Now let us preface this by saying that everyone has their own individual tastes and priorities. But overall, these are restaurants we don’t think are worth the time and money, or even a Disney Dining Plan table service credit. Space 220 Now, don’t get us wrong, the concept of Space 220 is VERY cool. Basically, to visit this restaurant, you take an elevator TO SPACE so you can dine IN SPACE (and the theming is very well done). But you’re also subjected to a pre fixe menu, which is pricey, and probably not worth it just for the experience of dining in space itself. The view is cool, but the rest? Well, not so much. HOWEVER, with that being said…if you can get yourself a spot in the Space 220 lounge, you get the very same experience without having to eat a three-course meal. All you need to do is order something from the lounge menu, which could be food, drinks, or both. It’s a lot cheaper and you’re not inundated with so much food that you can’t possibly eat it all. Space 220 Lounge vs. Space 220 Restaurant Coral Reef Restaurant Okay, if you’ve followed us for a while, you pretty much know how we feel about Coral Reef. It’s just not that great, and you’re paying premium prices for food that isn’t, well, that premium. Seafood is always dicey in a theme park, but here, it’s just…well, yeah. Maybe that’s why we recommend eating anything BUT the fish at this restaurant. Coral Reef Restaurant If you’re craving fish in EPCOT, you might just want to head on over to the U.K. Pavilion and get some proper Fish and Chips. We’re STILL Confused About Our Meal at This EPCOT Restaurant Nine Dragons Nine Dragons is another restaurant we really want to be better, but it just doesn’t impress us. It is a place to get TRULY spicy food in Disney World, so if you’re looking for some spice that’s WAY beyond Disney spice, this is where to find it. Honestly, though, your local Chinese restaurant is probably going to be a better — and cheaper — choice. Meal at Nine Dragons Otherwise, we’ve found much of the food bland here, even after the restaurant changed up its menu and added more adventurous options. It’s a no for us, dawg. REVIEW: This EPCOT Restaurant Has a Flashy Location and a New Menu, But We Still Can’t Recommend It The good news is that there are a LOT of great EPCOT restaurants we can recommend. Via Napoli has some of the BEST pizza in Disney World. Le Cellier is hard to get a reservation for because, yes, it is that good (just go for the cheese soup, y’all). Spice Road Table is terribly underrated and a great spot to grab something more unique. Y’all KNOW we love Garden Grill — it’s one of our favorite character dining experiences in all of Disney World. There are plenty of good choices with LOADS of variety, so you don’t have to waste your time at a spot that isn’t worth it. Stay tuned to DFB for more. We’ve Eaten at Every EPCOT Restaurant.
