Ultimate Guide to the Best Food in EPCOT

[@auroraborealis8602]

I just have to say - DFB videos reignited my childhood dream of visiting WDW, and after watching enough of them, I was inspired to visit for the first time last February. It was a truly magical experience and I want to thank you guys as DFB for your endless enthusiasm, as it pushed me to take my first trip. I'm already busy planning my next one.

[@fullenw]

I gained weight watching this video. Well played.

[@NA-ub1hu]

🤣🤣

[@Mrtfarrugia]

Just skip to all the parts where they talk about the vegetables.

[@Nest-Stuff9]

Me too!!🤣🤣

[@jamesreviewsmore7091]

Haha 😂

[@amyconnelly4238]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@TelinaMunro]

I loved seeing the variety and affordability of the foods. And I really appreciate that it wasn't just focused on pizza and chicken nuggets.

[@savannah4439]

The mac and cheese is really good at regale eagle smokehouse!! I’m vegetarian but my mom really wanted to eat there so I grabbed a side of Mac and it was amazing!!

[@toddlau-n1r]

Omg the narrator has the absolute perfect voice for these videos. My daughter just loves listening to her talk. Great content too!!!!

[@dumgum]

After reading this comment omg yes her voice is 10/10

[@be.A.b]

Very generic comforting mom voice

[@birbluv9595]

You guys are making me yearn for Epcot! I’ve gotta say something about the pizza at Via Napoli. I’ve said it before and I’ll never stop saying it. Now that I’ve had their pizza (the white artichoke and truffle oil), there is no going back. I’m not eating pizza anywhere else ever again. I should just move to Florida. You cannot imagine how spectacular the crust is - the crust! All ingredients, including the water, are imported from Italy, and it shows.

[@jacquelinerodenbush6691]

1st visit to EPCOT is in 4 days so to say this video is timely is an understatement.

[@aprilflowers2297]

We aren’t planning any sit down restaurants in EPCOT because we love the fish and chips and festival food so much.

[@squidney41]

Not sure if you guys have done this before, but it would be so cool to see a “what to order at every restaurant” video, in case you end up somewhere like Tony’s Town Square but still want something good!

[@benweddell4517]

The garlic bread and nothing else.

[@allyswaytarot]

There food is really good now she i recommend the meatballs and spaghetti

[@Awkward-Flo]

I’m going to WDW for the first time this August with my boyfriend, and these videos have been helping me plan the trip. We’re getting more and more excited!!

[@noaoz1790]

Update! How was your trip?

[@vicentegarcia857]

One of my favorite things about chip'n dale's garden grill is that you can look at some scenes from living with the land

[@cmiller415]

Hi AJ, I had the same Shepherds Pie “experience” except my go to bed without dinner drama was with shake and bake chicken. I was 6 years old, and 46 years later I still can’t look at classic shake and bake commercials on KZbin without hard feelings. Even had my Grandmother come into my room and call me Rude (our relationship was never quite the same). I didn’t expect this particular childhood trauma to be brought to the surface again when I clicked play on this video but it’s ok. No harm no foul. ❤

[@licarter81]

We had a late supper by wandering around and trying dishes at the Flower and Garden Festival booths. It was actually our favorite “meal” from our entire trip. Brunchcot was my favorite! The shrimp and grits was amazing, as were the fired cinnamon roll bites with candied bacon. Another personal fave was the croissant with goat cheese and herbs at the booth in France. Oh and the Frozen Desert Flower Lemonade was also a hit with the whole family…with an edible flower!!

[@autumnblevins9766]

The “‘pizza rolls” are called pepperoni rolls in the south! I used to live in West Virginia where it originated and it is very similar to what we eat.

[@beckkm]

On my last visit in May, I complained that my EPCOT fav (chicken mole enchiladas) had fallen off the menu at San Angel Inn Restaurante. My cast member saved the day by noting that they would still make it, despite it no longer being on the menu!

[@TheSbarnden]

Ok I loved watching this, was drooling over most of the dishes. I have an issue though Shepards pie is made with lamb mince (the clue is in the name). Cottage pie is made with beef mince, Shepards pie lamb mince.

[@jenniferfinlayson1512]

We always talk about how great the fish and chips are - our favourite!

[@samanthalee137]

Can’t wait to be able to just walk over to EPCOT if I get hungry since we’re staying at Beach Club 🤣

[@ElyseExplosion]

The pepperoni pizza roll and caramel butter bar are my top 2, but the burnt end cheese fries were UNBELIEVABLE good. I don't typically like burnt ends, but these were amazing.

[@allisonafiat5093]

Omg hot tip, during the festival of the arts… grab urself a baguette from France before making ur way to the America pavilion to get ur sipping chocolate🤭. Even if ur sharing the sipping chocolate it is so rich and sweet that the baguette is perfect to dip in 😍

[@allisonafiat5093]

Although I haven’t tried this w the alcoholic version. But I’m sure it’s still rlly good, like a sweet fondue 😍

[@stephenmaher9067]

A Disney Vacation doesn't fully start till I've devoured my first School Bread

[@Mrtfarrugia]

Wait a minute, this is Epcot we are talking about. How is this not a 10 part series for all the good food there?

[@timothydeweese6931]

I really enjoyed the short rib sliders at the bar at Space 220.

[@cubemissy]

The Shepherd's Pie at Rose and Crown has become my favorite meal at Disney - followed closely by the Tuna Melt at Earl of Sandwich.

[@emma-bh7ry]

Shepard’s pie is made with lamb cottage pie is made with beef 😊

[@dfdoom9153]

Just incase anybody cares but if it’s called shepherds pie it should be made with lamb mince and cottage pie is made with beef mince. Not sure if that’s a dfb error or a Disney error 😊💙

[@heathergittens3223]

I love that we can travel the world at EPCOT. thank you for this.

[@christopherstanko2847]

LOVE the strawberry tart! Thank you for finally giving it some elevated screen time

[@theindependenttravelagent694]

Ok so let me explain my (somewhat boring) situation to anyone reading becuse my excitement cannot be contained. I am Currently in preparation for a men’s physique competition in 9 days from writing this. Men’s physique is a type of body building but we are the smaller leaner folk who low body fat/conditioning is essential. I am currently on 1450 calories a day made up pretty much of just proteins and fats. I go to florida straight after my show. Watching these videos gets me through the day in a rather painful yet exciting and motivating way. I am going to eat everything in this video and more. And all my hard work will well and truly be in the toilet, and I’m fine with that. Thanks for your amazing videos as always

[@romeliaanddixie]

We might be going back to Disney later this summer, I have a service dog. I honestly loved it last time and I expected my dog to be a little bit nervous since it was her first time in such a crazy environment and she literally could care less. She was spot on focused with me and alerted to every medical episode I had. Last time when we were walking up to the haunted mansion, one of the cast members was dressed up as goofy, and they bent down in my dogs face and waved at her and I thought my dog would get a little bit scared because she’s never seen a animatronic or somebody in a costume like that but she literally just slowly blinked and wagged her tail and then looked back up at me. This seems very random as I’m not even talking on the subject of this video but I’m just super excited to go back. It’s basically like the highlight of my year. I act like a total child when I’m at Disney. 😂 But I’m definitely gonna start watching more of your videos. Last time when we went to Disney, we try to get some food and quite honestly the places we chose had pretty bland food. Except this place outside of the dinosaur ride and animal kingdom. Wow their food was amazing and I believe we got a hot dog and that thing was so big. But the one restaurant we went to kind of near Pirates of the Caribbean had pretty bland food that didn’t taste that great, but it was still a super cool restaurant regardless

[@aprilflowers2297]

These videos have helped me plan 2 full Disney trips, from food recommendations to the rides I have to ride. I have an allergy so I try to plan as much in advance as I can, I really like how AJ gives the pros and cons of everything so I can decide what I want to explore more.

[@MrGleeiscool]

Take me with youuuuu lol no just kidding but yay

[@jennycox4463]

What the heck is beef doing in a shepherd’s pie?! You need lamb or mutton. Y’know, from sheep.

[@katiewright2232]

Yes! Thus “shepherd” 😂😂

[@kristin6852]

The turtle brownie looks amazing!! 😊❤

[@DavidHarperUK]

Brits SCREAMING AT THE VIDEO: COTTAGE Pie is with beef SHEPHERDS Pie is with lamb (hence the name)

[@SuzieLRodriguez]

Jambon Beurre = Ham and BUTTER so yes that’s why it’s so good! 😂

[@oldmryoungdude]

Add a side of guacamole to that queso and margs and I'm in. We found it a great complement and we shared it between 3 people

[@austinlopez9591]

You should do the best food in universal studios

[@niapop]

Adding to the outrage that they call it shepherds pie when it’s made with beef mince. That’s a cottage pie in the UK. Shepherds is made with lamb/mutton

[@luma4902]

Please do similar videos for every park including disneyland and California adventure

[@richardmercer2337]

I'm amazed that AJ (almost!) managed to squeeze this into half an hour!

[@richardmercer2337]

PS in case you didn't know, "poutine" is British for "fries with goop". (Am I kidding? Not really...)

[@jodan1309]

I love watching this! Going to Epcot next month in October. And I love your play with words! Wish I was as articulate as you! You’re a natural!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤

[@BandDirector]

All look amazing! If I had to ask for one thing to return that disappeared years ago, it was the “Cake of the Day” in France. Best chocolate cake I’ve ever had!

[@bunnygal778]

Choza de Margarita...the most authentic, delicious tacos and tostadas! With an El Diablo margarita! Fantastico!

[@Chernobog34]

I shouldn't have watched this just after eating lunch. I'm already starving again....god all of this looks incredible.

[@NWAAdventures]

Just got back from WDW. My wife and I had an excellent 25th anniversary lunch date at Tutto Italia Ristorante. Couldn't have been better.

[@amydoran9987]

My family and I are going in November. Epcot is definitely my favorite park.Nine Dragons and Via Napoli are two of my favorites.On our first day we always eat at sunshine seasons for lunch.

[@Pur3Socialite]

I’m going here in a few weeks…I’m READY!!

[@ChelsayAllDay]

I had no idea about the Turtle brownie! Omg I’m getting that when we go on my birthday! And that new Japan restaurant looks amazeballs!

[@elizabethmccallum852]

Can you talk about the gluten free food at Disney world from all of the parks

[@reneenehring7855]

Best video to watch in the airport heading to Disney!

[@deziredawn7275]

Liberty inn was always amazing

[@jenniferjohnson2108]

So much good food and drinks. I could spend a week there just eating !

[@Vway1501]

AJ, you rock. Would love to Disney/Universal food nerd-out with you! Love DFB vids!

[@clayrblu]

I think you nailed it lol you got all my favorites! That saffron pistachio cake is so so good. I love the chocolate pistachio cookie over at Oasis Sweets & Sips, too!

[@kare4dis467]

We had these Crab Rangoons at Joy of Tea back in 2021 and they were the best we ever had! We compare all crab rangoons to the ECPOT ones. Hope they are still there next week!

[@pamelacaron54]

I can't wait to get back there booked two weeks in January my bucket list is garden grill can't decide breakfast or dinner!

[@cynthiabobst8794]

Love Garden Grille!!!!!

[@deerlanemoose]

I believe the food at EPCOT alone would get me there!

[@peggyknecht5551]

Thank you for the info! I can't wait for my trip!

[@jonathanphone6419]

22:40 if it's made with beef then it is technically a cottagers pie as Shepards pie is supposed to be made with lamb hence shepard

[@es6499]

After listening to AJ rave about Garden Grill, my spouse and I finally decided to go last year in November and I am now sending AJ the side-eye for convincing me to try this place. Honestly, "high quality" and "Garden Grill" do not belong in the same sentence since 99% of it comes from a package, can, or box. Just look at all the unseasoned food! Ask the server to see the nutrition binder and you'll see that it's all loaded with salt (beyond the daily recommended value for just one skillet, salad, and dessert). For the portion sizes, a single skillet should feed two adults if you eat everything provided. Add to that the fact that it took 4 revolutions of the restaurant before we got our food because I have a dietary restriction (noted when we made the reservation, hostess and server reminded). Dietary issues are supposedly not a problem to adjust for if given advanced notice for sit-down restaurants. One and done! 😂

[@SpaceBigStar]

She thinks you can find “authentic “ ethnic food in a Disney theme park. That alone should tell you what kind of taste buds she and her crew has. I am genuinely baffled at the stuff she claims is good.

[@Music78479]

We loved thw Mongolie beef at the seasonal sooo full of flavors

[@familyfehl9975]

Going around Thanksgiving! Having to plan around Christmas party to get a full MK day is only annoying part

[@stefalspaugh5362]

My heart aches for the pollinator flatbread... We chose to honorably mention the chicken and waffles, and left out the most delish snack 💞 we love you pollinator flatbread

[@mattfalk6621]

Great video as always and I picked up some tips too! One restaurant I really like is Nine Dragons, it’s a fantastic sit down Chinese restaurant.

[@lancegregory9861]

I have noticed at one point in the past that Le Cellier had served Ratatouille, is this a "seasonal" item, or just taken off the menu? BTW, we ALWAYS obtain Norway School Bread to be taken back to our resort room to be served along with our breakfast....you CANNOT go wrong with coffee and NSB!

[@kristymichels4083]

Last time I had fish and chips it was only one piece and it was all breading. Hopefully it will be improved by October!

[@alexisb9250]

Regarding the soup debate you put yourself in, next time try asking for both! That was my first though as an indecisive queen like myself lol

[@Slashtap]

"We can dig into that in therapy" haha love the humor AJ

[@stormyuniverse97]

Can I ask if the Garden Grill needs reservations ?

[@Ormonard]

Not having Biergarten on this list is a Shakespearean tragedy.

[@ashleygraham3402]

Space 220! Their chocolate cheesecake is incredible.

[@apfelbasket]

I love stove top Mac 'n Cheese, not baked! Is there a lace in Walt Disney World to get that?

[@LynnBurrows-m5n]

I want 2 get if I go is the big cheese pizza and that mickey mouse pretzel 2.

[@The_Alexandra_B]

16 days until our Disney World trip!

[@gavincracchiola5963]

Going for 4 days this weekend!!

[@19800910]

My only trip to EPCOT (1983) I did have the Shepherd's Pie with a guinness at the rose and crown. Sorry, but your Dad and Brother were right!

[@amberford5658]

This food looks incredible😁

[@chasitybraceworley7833]

Really needing some info on gluten free deserts and snack especially in Epcot everyone is trying wonderful food I don't know where to find any I did find Norway had a great rice desert but for the most part I have to stumble on it and usually don't find things. I love your channel and I watch you constantly because I have a lot of health issues. Your channel really cheers me up and makes me look forward to my next outing. I would be very grateful if you could help me find some good gluten-free treats. I can't have caffeine either so that makes chocolate and out which stinks. But Epcot still wonderful and I love it

[@DavidJordao]

My brother and I will be there in December… I already know I want to have lunch in Italy because I want my pasta and I really want to go to Space 220 for dinner, just because I really want to see that restaurant in person. 😁

[@CurlyKirsty1999]

There is a lounge that you can go to, Space 220 was on my wishlist but I only had a short time and just wanted to try their cocktails. I had my four year old grandson with me and he was so excited about going into "space" and literally fell asleep a few minutes in after taking a look at the screen. It was adorable, he had such a blast. Cocktail was great and the experience was on my wishlist so I was happy even though we only spent 20 minutes or so there.

[@Motor_Alchemist]

Shepherds pie doesn’t have ground beef in it that’s Cottage Pie. It’s called Shepherds Pie because it has lamb, you know the animal that shepherds look after 😉 Also chips are NOT fries.

[@annlavine3576]

Pork rolls are on my list

[@romeo7smith463]

The foods look great and I know it’s vacation, but is there any healthy options?

[@DFBGuide]

Healthier options aren’t quite as pervasive as all the other stuff but you’ll find healthier choices at most restaurants (even counter service), and you can find hummus, veggies and fruit at some of the snack carts. Might take a little more searching to find the healthy stuff but it’s there and you can always check menus ahead of your trip so you know what you might want to eat & where to find it

[@myMelodyj]

Watching this in Connections lol!

[@katyannaharris6131]

Kakigori is cheaper in Animal Kingdom, though. :) but yum. Do not sleep on the sweetened condensed.

[@blayts706]

Awesome, shepherds pie is lamb (cottage pie is beef) but otherwise awesome…so you might actually love shepherds pie, AJ!

[@mariasabstractart9203]

Do you know if the Takumi Ta meal will be eligible For the Disney dining plan?

[@julesrann]

AJ, Shepard’s Pie is made with Lamb Mince, Beef mince is used for. Cottage Pie…………

[@scottroberts7463]

Canadians are experts on smokey flavor. Trust me .I live in the Northeast.

[@sylvanaire264]

Why only English, Italian, or expensive food listed?

[@AmeliaRobertson-t9c]

Javon Mills

[@annlavine3576]

Loaded fries with bits, would like without the frys

[@DavidHarperUK]

Tried to get Space 220 as soon as the 60 day window hit but was immediately unavailable :(

[@Emitopia]

Try to keep checking, sometimes people cancel their dining reservations.

[@spiritedreviewexc]

if i were going to get soup (in florda...IN the Summer) id get the corn soup cold no carmel popcorn?! WHA!?

[@mercedeshall3306]

I have been to Les Halles twice and have ordered sweet treats while there. I find them to not really be sweet. They lack sugar and are quite bland. Maybe I just love really sweet stuff with a lot of sugar. But my husband who does not like as much sugar as me was not really impressed with their desserts.

[@carissaseal2134]

English peas is what's wrong with Shepherds pie! No judgment here, AJ!

[@crystaladams4074]

Currently trying the Turtle Brownie and it is NOT the one from this video. No caramel besides the optional drizzle on top. Still good though!

[@crystaladams4074]

6:20

[@mini_mew775]

Ironically watching this AT Epcot

[@miaberger8908]

Don’t jinx garden grill!!

[@Iheartstitch402]

Who the heck is going to eat a entire Thanksgiving meal at a theme park

[@TheWuffball]

Anything from France is good

[@kyliej8160]

if my flight didn’t get canceled i would’ve been there rn 😞😞
