I'm leaving Teppan Edo and Beirgarten out since I've never been to either of them, but for the rest;

Bistro De Paris
Tokyo Dining
Via Napoli
La Hacienda de San Angel
San Angel Inn
Coral Reef
Le Cellier
Akershus Royal Banquet Hall (Though I'd rank breakfast higher.)
Rose & Crown
Tutto Italia
Chefs de France
Garden Grill
Nine Dragons
Restaurant Marrakesh

Of course this might all change after my next trip!

I expect to see a lot of people with Nine Dragons at the bottom! I put Coral Reef at the bottom of mine mostly because the food wasn't as great as the views.

If my last meal at Coral Reef hadn't been so good, it probably would be at the bottom, or at least closer to it.

Marrakesh I just had a bad experience with, but I really should give it another try, I really do like that kind of food. Tangerine Cafe is even my favorite CS in World Showcase! But Nine Dragons just isn't anything special to me, and I can get better Chinese at home.

I have only ate at three of them. Hoping to hit a few more in a few weeks.

1.) San Angel Inn
2.) Coral Reef
3.) Nine Dragons.

They were all good but to me the combination of the atmosphere and the food won it for San Angel. Plus I totally order the wrong dessert at Coral Reef; the Key lime mousse with Mango

Was it that bad? I was looking at menus and that is the one new thing that really stood out to me. But maybe I should stick with the chocolate wave.

Rose and Crown Pub is our family favorite! We ALWAYS eat here when we go to EPCOT. The absolute BEST Fish N Chips!

I can only rank the ones we've eaten at...

1) Le Cellier
2) Biergarten
3) Via Napoli
4) Teppan Edo
5) Rose and Crown

Le Cellier and Biergarten have become "must dos" for us every trip now we'll be trying Le Chefs de France for the first time when we go on our honeymoon in Oct-Nov.

It had a very bitter taste to it. Not the sweet taste that I was expecting for dessert. But you make like it just wasn't for me. My husband had the chocolate wave and it was really good.

We usually go to WDW during the Food & Wine Festival, so most of our Epcot eating is done at the festival booths. I've only been to three Epcot table service restaurants - Restaurant Marrakesh, the Biergarten, and Les Chefs de France. Of the three, Les Chefs de France was my least favorite (although I loved the kir aperitif). It wasn't bad, it just wasn't awesome. I love Biergarten and Restaurant Marrakesh. And I'm looking forward to trying Teppan Edo and the Rose & Crown someday.

Yeah.... havent been to them all, but will rate the ones ive been to...

1. Teppan Edo
14. Coral Reef
15. San Angel Inn

For some reason I swear I think ive been to more... but none of the names are ringing any bells... and in all honesty.... Teppan is the only one I liked. Coral... got a steak there, and it was just not cooked how I wanted... (asked for as rare as you can cook it, and it came back medium well... to me, thats a horrible cook if he cant even get it red.......) and San Angel... I know my wife and I seem to be the only ones who didnt like it, but I just couldnt get into it at all. Teppan..... oh yum! Was just soooooooooooooooooo tasty!

Totally agree... I was kinda surprised at the lack of seafood... I don't know if people don't want to look at fish while they eat them

I'm quite the opposite. Aquariums make me want seafood! SeaWorld has some seafood restaurants too, so I'm not the only crazy one!

Hm...so we are probably going to Epcot on Tuesday, and we will probably have a little celebration while we are there. I'm wondering if we should book an ADR or just do counter service at, say, Sunshine Seasons? My mom just got some really good news and we think a little happy day is in order Personally, I could drink my celebration at La Cava. But y'all knew that What do y'all think? For a lover of Epcot, I have been to a shameful LACK of table service restaurants!

If I have an opportunity to visit Via Napoli, that's what I'll do. I love their pizza maybe more than anything. I could go for a flight at La Cava, though.

We really have not been to all that many. When I say I am a pickey eater, I really mean I am a pickey eater. Out of the few we have tried I would rank them as follows.

Rose & Crown
LeCellier used to be my number 1 and still would be for 1 credit
Teppan Edo I always enjoy our meal when we eat here but we have something very similar 10 minutes from home
Tuto Italia We have only tried lunch here and had sandwiches but they were very good
Garden Grill
San Angel Inn I would love to like it but the last time we went the food just was not good. It was not really bad but not good either.

We are trying Via Napoli in May

These last three are places that I do not even want to try. They scare me .
Akershus
Restaurant Marrakesh
Biergarten
