Hello!
This post is going to be about a topic I’ve wanted to write about for a while now, and this is the perfect time to do it. The @wanderingwishestravel Instagram account is just finishing up its World Showcase theme, which means it’s time for… a new post! Now, without further ado, let’s get started.
***
Every time I go to EPCOT, World Showcase is (of course) always a must-do. If you are riding the Skyliner or staying by the Boardwalk, you can easily walk to the International Gateway and enter right in World Showcase. There’s so much to love about it. The scenery, the attention to detail, the merchandise, and the… food!
If you are looking for a great dining option in EPCOT, I would definitely recommend for the whole family to check out the various Quick-Service locations around World Showcase. Our favorite thing to do is each get a dish from a different pavilion and try a bit of each other’s! This is especially useful when you have the Dining Plan. This is a great option, as it not only is a quick and efficient way to dine (this is especially useful with young kids), your group also gets to learn about each of the pavilions’ cultures and try food you would not have tried if you did not eat in World Showcase or you did not have Quick-Service in World Showcase.
Having a feast from many different cultures, sitting in one of the pavilions or by World Showcase Lagoon while you dine (one of the best parts of Quick-Service is that you have the freedom to sit wherever you want), discussing your Disney day and future Disney plans, it all sounds pretty awesome, huh? The only question is… where do you eat?
Well, look no further than WWT’s guide to World Showcase Quick-Service. I’ll recommend every place I have tried and enjoyed (in no particular order), just so you know the reviews are legit.
Enjoy!
Lotus Blossom Café
Starting this post out with my favorite Quick-Service location in World Showcase. Lotus Blossom Café, found in the China pavilion, is delicious and beautifully themed. The sitting areas are spacious and beautiful, and the food is delicious. Every time I’ve gone here, the service has always been very fast, and the cast members are always very nice. I could not recommend it enough.
Menu items include Egg Rolls, Pot Stickers, Stir Fry, Shrimp Fried Rice, Sesame Chicken Salad, and Orange Chicken (my personal favorite). Dishes are served with rice or an egg roll. For kids, they have Sweet-and-Sour Chicken and Pot Stickers and Spring Rolls. Both kids’ meals come with a drink, and the Sweet-and-Sour Chicken comes with rice. For dessert, be sure to try the Caramel-Ginger Ice Cream or the Lychee Ice Cream.
Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie
Found in the France pavilion, Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie is a delicious option for those craving tasty French treats. There are so many options, which guarantees you’ll find something you’ll like. Though seating is sometimes limited, the service is extremely efficient, and the tables are always becoming free. You will not need to wait very long for a seat.
Menu items include delicious sandwiches, salads, cheese plates, quiches, croissants, beignets, cakes, and macarons. Some specific recommendations would be the Jambon Beurre sandwich, with ham and cheese and Dijon mustard butter on a baguette; the Tartine aux Formages sandwich, with tomato sauce and an assortment of cheese on country bread; a beignet, filled with chocolate and hazelnuts; any one of the Tartes; and the Crème Brûlée.
Sommerfest
Sommerfest, found in the Germany pavilion, serves delicious German cuisine. This is another one of my favorites. Seating is often limited, but the Germany pavilion has a lot of seating options outside of the eatery. Though the menu is not as expansive as Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie, it manages to pack a lot of great options.
Here, you will find Bratwurst, Nudel Gratin, Cold Potato Salad, and delicious desserts. I would recommend the Apple Strudel.
Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe
Found in the Norway pavilion, this is a favorite among members of my group. They serve traditional Norwegian specialties in a pleasant atmosphere.
They serve a variety of sandwiches, salads, and bagels, along with delicious baked goods. A popular item here is the School Bread, a roll filled with custard and topped with coconut. You can also find various specialty cheesecakes and cupcakes that change throughout the year. Other delicacies include Lefse, a flatbread with cinnamon, sugar, and butter; Troll Horns, a puff pastry filled with Orange Marmalade Cream; and the Norwegian Kringla, a pastry shaped like a pretzel and covered with delicious toppings.
La Cantina de San Angel
To finish out this list, I’ve saved one of the best for last. La Cantina de San Angel is the perfect Quick-Service option in many ways. Found in the Mexico pavilion, the food is delicious, and the atmosphere is gorgeous. If you’re lucky enough to get a table by World Showcase Lagoon, it would be fun to eat while the fireworks are going off. Though it can sometimes get a bit hectic, the crowd dies down quickly after the food is served, and it is not very difficult to get a table.
Be sure to try the Nachos! I would also recommend the Guacamole with Totopos. You can also find delicious salads, tacos, and empanadas. Options for kids include Empanadas con Queso, Chicken Tenders, and Macaroni and Cheese. You can also get delicious churros with caramel sauce here!

To conclude, EPCOT is home to many delicious Quick-Service locations. No matter what you try, you will definitely find something you like. The options I have listed here are just a few to get you started. There are plenty more around World Showcase! Be sure to experiment with different locations to find your new favorite dining option.
Stay on the lookout for more World Showcase Quick-Service posts on WWT. I have a lot stored for future posts!
Have a great day,
