Originally Posted By davewasbaloo >>>The British are absolutely lovely people, but their food, no matter how well prepared, is rather boring<<< Totally agree. British cuisine is sooooo boring. That's why the most popular restaurants in the UK are Indian - curry anyone? My vote would go: 1. Tepanyaki 2. Le Cellier 3. Alfredo's
Originally Posted By leemac Mine would be: 1) San Angel (the atmosphere is definitely tough to beat) 2) Alfredo's Not sure I really have a third. I should say that they are all beaten by Coral Reef for me. It is the best and most consistently excellent restaurant on property (Jiko runs close though). <<>>>The British are absolutely lovely people, but their food, no matter how well prepared, is rather boring<<<>> You need to come and tell that to some of the Lee-haters in the Tokyo section. )-p

Number three, Les Chefs de France is because people perceive French food to be one of the great cuisines of the world, and it's not typically eaten very often by the average person. Alfredo's is number two because Italian food *is* common... ethnic comfort food, if you will. Some may say it's not good Italian food and no better than an Olive Garden, but Olive Garden is a very successful chain, right? Rose and Crown took the number one spot, not because of the food, but for it's location. How many times do WDW veterans eat there, and recommend others eat there too, specifically with IllumiNations in mind? A LOT.

Originally Posted By mouse of the south We love to eat in Epcot these are some favorites: LeCellier Nine Dragons San Angelo's Alfredo's Our son got back last night from 10 days in Italy, senior trip!

(four girls and one boy) One likes only chicken nuggets - believe it or not its the 15 year old, not the 9 year old. We also have a 13 year old who has been a vegetarian since Nov. - It is getting on my nerves! The 14 year old will try anything - with mustard on it!
Originally Posted By Coachbagfanatic Oh 10 Days in Italy sounds fantastic. We love Alfredo's and Teppanyaki. We have not eaten any other place in Epcot but would love to try Nine Dragons. Oh gees 5 children with different eating habits. How do you do it? I only have one picky eater. He is having a fit now that he is 10 and has to pick from the adult menu in WDW. My husband is happy about that because what my son doesn't eat he will. Very big eater my hubby.
Originally Posted By mouse of the south My husband's favorite saying is "if no one else is going to eat this I'm gonna knock it on out." We never finish our food, you know he's happy!! He's six feet and 200 lbs, I'm 4 11 and 95 lbs - he gets plenty of extra helpings. Good thing we are an active family.
Originally Posted By Coachbagfanatic <<if no one else is going to eat this I'm gonna knock it on out.>> My father says that all the time. You and your hubby sound just like us except I am 5'4" and 115. My hubby is the same. Gotta love the food in Disney.
Originally Posted By leemac <<We also have a 13 year old who has been a vegetarian since Nov. - It is getting on my nerves! >> That is the one thing that I think WDW has improved on immeasurably over the past decade. I've been a vegetarian for decades and often struggled to find decent food on-property for me. Now virtually every restaurant has at least 1 veggie offering and most have multiple or will prepare something. The most telling thing is that Coral Reef is my favourite WDW restaurant (the one restaurant on property that you wouldn't expect a veggie to choose) and they only have 1 veggie plate.
Originally Posted By Coachbagfanatic leemac I have often thought of becoming a vegetarian as I don't like red meat and I can eat pasta and veggies until it is coming out of my ears. I also have a meat and potato's guy at home and one very picky eater as well. Is it hard to make this transition?
