Title: What's The Best Country To Eat....
Post by: Alien on February 21, 2007, 03:39 PM: This weeks question from VMK.... What's the best country to eat in at EPCOT?
a) Canada
b) Japan
c) France
d) Germany

I'm sorry, but my choice would have to be e) Mexico - San Angel Inn. I love the views overlooking El Rio Del Tiempo, the setting of dining next to the river on a dark night, and the food in general. Tho my favorite has been and probably always will be The Land's Garden Grill, it wouldn't apply anyways since it's not in 1 of the countries.

Anyone else have a different answer than 1 selected?? If it is 1 of the selected 4, what are the reasons you feel it is the best of the best in the countries???

However, I have only been to EPCOT once and so have only eaten in 2 countries...Le France (I think that's what it was called) in France for lunch and Le Cellier in Canada for dinner. Both were great.

But I would have to vote for Canada as Le Cellier was my favorite restaurant of all the restaurants we ate at in all of WDW...

Why only 4 choices? And why only 1 "best"?

If I had to choose from the 4, I think the upstairs restaurant in France (Bistro de Paris) would have to take top honors. We typically eat there at the end of a long day, and usually catch the fireworks from Illuminations at the end.

Germany's Biergarten is fun -- bet the kids would love the shows during the meal.

But beyond those 4... Morocco is fun, with the belly dancer, and I always get the mint tea with my meal.

Best meal ever in EPCOT, that wasn't in a "country"? Food and Wine Festival, Party for the Senses.

Post by: hrhkit on February 21, 2007, 05:14 PM: Hmmm...was it Bistro de Paris where I had lunch? ??? LOL, I need to pay better attention I guess. Although I don't remember it having an upstairs. I DO recall having a great Croque Monsieur there. :thumbs: And watching some crazy guy climb scads of chairs outside...

Could some WDW/EPCOT expert go over the France restaurants? Were there 2?

There are 2 -- Chefs de France is downstairs, and yes the crazy chair guy was there last month. Upstairs is Bistro de Paris.
