Planning your eats at Epcot can feel a little overwhelming—so many countries, so many options! We like to break it down by priorities and make sure we hit our must-eat spots. Here’s our current game plan for a day at Epcot.
Breakfast in France: Les Halles Boulangerie-Pâtisserie
Start your day in the France pavilion with a little breakfast magic. Les Halles is our go-to for morning treats—think flaky quiche, buttery croissants, and eclairs that might just make you question your life choices (in the best way).

Famous For: Quiche, Eclairs
A light breakfast here sets you up perfectly for a day of exploring and maybe grabbing a few rides before the crowds build.
Festival-Style Lunch & Afternoon Snacks
We like to leave lunch open and flexible because Epcot’s festivals are basically a food lover’s paradise. Specialty bites, unique drinks, and mini-desserts scattered across the World Showcase make for a fun snack-style lunch. This way, everything before dinner is more like grazing than a heavy meal—perfect for trying a little bit of everything without feeling stuffed.
Pro Tip: Grab small plates and share! It’s a great way to sample festival flavors while keeping room for dinner.
Afternoon Sweet Spot: L’Artisan des Glaces
After a few rides or a leisurely stroll through World Showcase, it’s time for a little sugar break. L’Artisan des Glaces, also in France, is our pick for an afternoon snack. Ice cream sandwiches and fruity sorbets make the perfect pit stop. Bonus: It’s right on the way if you’re wandering toward the next pavilion.

Famous For: Ice Cream Sandwiches, Sorbet
This is one of those “take a minute, sit, and enjoy the moment” stops. Ice cream tastes better with a little Epcot ambiance, trust me.
Dinner: Hibachi Heaven at Teppan Edo
Nothing caps off a Disney day like a fun dinner, and for us, that’s Teppan Edo in Japan. Hibachi steak, tempura, and all the theatrical cooking you can handle—this is a must-do every visit. Reservations are definitely recommended, because this place fills up fast.

Cost: $$$
Reservation: Yes
Mobile Ordering: No
Famous For: Hibachi Steak, Tempura
We love to make this our dinner spot to celebrate surviving the day (and maybe treat ourselves for all the walking we just did).
