The Best World Showcase Restaurants

Starting your journey in Mexico, you’ll find multiple dining options to try. The first stop around the world we suggest is La Hacienda de San Angel, located on the lagoon side of the World Showcase. Retreat into this old-world restaurant and indulge in some delicious Mexican delicacies. You’ll be immersed in a delicious Mexican meal from authentic margaritas to chips and queso, carne asada, and Alambre de Res. Plus, enjoy unique desserts like the Sweet Corn Ice Cream and the Tres Leches. 

Pricing at La Hacienda is relatively affordable for a table service restaurant, and if you time it right, you’ll have a front-row seat for EPCOT Forever, the nightly fireworks spectacular. The restaurant shuts the lights off and pumps the music through the speakers, making this a cool and unique spot to watch the fireworks. 

Germany: Biergarten

The next stop on our list of restaurants around the world is Germany’s Biergarten. It’s Oktoberfest every day in the Germany Pavilion. This restaurant takes dining to a whole new level and is tucked away in the back of the pavilion. Themed after a traditional Bavarian Village, guests will feast on a buffet dinner of staples like rotisserie chicken, Pork schnitzel, bratwurst, and more. Plus, you’ll get to savor some classic Bavarian desserts like cheesecake, apple strudel, and other assorted desserts. 

But the fun doesn’t stop with the food at the Biergarten. With music provided by a polka band, guests can experience traditional dances and entertainment while eating.  Don’t forget to break out those dancing shoes while you enjoy a liter of beer!  

France: Chefs de France

Ever imagine sitting at a little cafe with the Eiffel Tower in sight? Feel all the vibes at Chefs de France in the France Pavilion. A classic cafe feel collides with high ceilings, gorgeous architecture, and huge windows to create a relaxed setting. Whether you decide to try their prix fixe meal for $72.95, which includes an appetizer, entree, dessert, and glass of wine, or just order a la carte, there is something for every appetite. Options include salmon, rotisserie chicken, braised beef, and more. 

While Chefs de France doesn’t offer lagoon-side seating, it is the perfect place for a beautiful view of World Shocase. Plus, it’s super convenient for guests staying in the Boardwalk area since it’s right off the International Gateway area. 

Canada Pavilion: Le Cellier Steakhouse

Cozy up in a classic Canadian Cellar and enjoy some relaxed vibes and even better steaks and seafood in the Canada pavilion. Inspired by chateau-style hotels such as the Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac, you’ll be transported to the provinces of Canada. While it’s tucked away, it doesn’t mean it’s not a fan-favorite restaurant. Le Cellier is known for some standout dishes. These include the Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup, Pretzel Bread, the Le Cellier Filet Mignon, and the Maple Crème Brûlée. 

Steaks and bites aren’t the only things you can enjoy at Le Cellier. Themed after a wine cellar, they are also known for their selection of wines and beers that are uniquely Canadian. Whether Molson is on your mind or you’re looking to try a Le Cellier Icewine Flight, you won’t be disappointed.
