A newbie to the quick service scene, Connections Eatery in the World Celebration area is a spot to try. If you aren’t looking to head right into the World Showcase area, Connections Eatery is a great option for families with different palettes. Inspired by the nearby countries of the World Showcase, Connections Eatery has dishes inspired by Italian, French, and Asian cuisines.
Whether you try the French Bistro Burger, the Meatball Pizza, the General Tso Chicken Salad, the exclusive Liege Waffle dessert, or a Gelato Shake, Connections Eatery will make everyone happy. Plus, if you need a pick-me-up after dinner, visit the Connections Cafe side, which serves as the Starbucks location in the park.

Tutto Italia is one of two sit-down restaurants in the Italy Pavilion, which offers guests a cozy restaurant feel. Translated to “Everything Italian,” Tutto Italia offers guests an old-world Italian feel, complete with immersive decor and dishes from around Italy.
Guest favorite dishes at Tutto Italia include the Lasagne alla Bolognese, the Manzo Brasato, Chicken Parmigiana, and the Fettuccine. Plus, don’t skip dessert! Try some authentic Italian Gelato in either chocolate or vanilla, an Italian favorite, cannoli, and even Tiramisu. While this isn’t the spot for pizza, it’s an excellent spot for a nicer dinner that will cool you off!
Canada Pavilion: Le Cellier Steakhouse

Looking for a cozy, delicious meal in the heart of EPCOT? Head to Le Cellier Steakhouse in the Canada Pavilion to enjoy a truly authentic Canadian meal. Themed after a chateau, Le Cellier Steakhouse is decorated in stone arches and candle sconces, lending to the steakhouse ambiance.
Options at Le Cellier include the Canadian favorite, Poutine, a Bison Strip Loin, the Le Cellier Filet Mignon, the Dry Aged Pork Chop, and their famous Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup. Plus, be sure you try the delicious pretzel bread that is brought to your table. All of these options are delicious, but just remember, this restaurant is quite pricey, so if you are on a budget, we could offer some other options instead.
American Adventure Pavilion: Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts and Barbecue

Another quick service location we recommend is the Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts and Barbecue, located in the American Adventure Pavilion. This newer restaurant in the American Adventures Pavilion is a celebration of all things backyard BBQ and craft beers, some American classics. Themed after the Muppets, Sam Eagle is a judge at a BBQ competition, and he’s saluting all meats!
Sink your teeth into some BBQ classics such as Memphis Dry-Rub Pork Ribs, Kansas Smoked Half-Chicken, Sliced Texas Beef Brisket, or North Carolina Chopped Pork Butt Platter, all a salute to American Barbecue. Don’t skip dessert, either. American classics like S’mores Brownies, Fresh Watermelon Cups, and Banana Pudding are options for you to end your meal. Is it just us, or does this not sound amazing?
