For me, Garden Grille is a must..lots of time with Mickey!
We tried San Angel Inn for our first time the night before Hurricane Milton hit and we had to leave to drive to Pensacola airport since MCO closed. Anyhoooo, we loved San Angel Inn! It was delicious! So I’ll never forget that meal.
PS – those heart nails were adorable! ❤
I dream about the free pretzel bread and filet mignon at Le Cellier. I have never had a dream about any other restaurant on property. Le Cellier for me, always and forever ❤
I am so excited because I am leaving for my Disney trip today edit I went to Hollywood studios today and cried meeting Minnie
Chefs de France 👌🏻
Aww, we love Nine Dragons. Never had a bad meal there, and they always have reservations available. The servers are so very nice, and the ambiance is perfect.
Akershus over Via Napoli? Yikes no thanks
So with your logic… character buffets will beat any other great restaurant… hmmm dunno about that
What a great video!! So much fun, and I am glad Garden Grill was the victor!!! Hahaha
Dropping Shiki because of breakfast and not hyperfixating on their mango cake is criminal behavior.
I say put this in a public poll. I think you would get a very different outcome. Top 4 are not even in my top 10.
Garden Grill is soooo good! I was shocked at how good it was. You get a lot of character interactions because it’s so small.
Good choices AJ! Love Spice Road and Kringla!
I cannot argue with you on the winner. It is absolutely wonderful! Let’s all just agree that EPCOT rules when it comes to eats! It is phenomenal!
Le Cellier all the way, my 10 year grandson loves it just as much as Nana
We have always asked to sit on the upper level at Biergarten and it is perfect. You’re right next to the buffet which is HUGE AND AMAZING, the tables are not shared, and you get to overlook the stage and dance floor and people watch without being uncomfortable. Plus you get to eat in a German village recreation that looks a lot like the German village I grew up in
Find someone who loves you the way AJ loves Garden Grill
Now I have to try Garden Grill. Lol! It has been on my list to try for a long time.
Great video, but I disagree with the finalists. I feel like the character involvement was over valued, and the food at both places is overpriced for what you get in my opinion.
Did not expect the Garden Grill to take down all comers (especially Le Cellier), but it definitely is the one restaurant I most want to try if/when we visit EPCOT Center again.
How to pronounce « Crêpes à emporter » : Krep ah an-por-teh (not ayyy or errrrr at the end)
The « an » sound is a bit like « can’t » with a British voice?
I love these brackets, but the winner is always the bottom choice out of the two when they’re introduced. Ruins the anticipation
All the glorious food on offer at Epcot and a turkey dinner gets top prize !!! Come on DFB you are better than this
Oh my…heartbreaking lol
I went to Takumi-Tei before the pandemic, when food was a la carte – no omikase menu. It was probably my best dining experience ever. I had an appetizer, wonderful fish entree, and terrific sake for $100. And i was given special origami and felt like a valued customer. Can’t do this again.
AJ, you need me to give you lessons in French pronunciation. I still love your videos!
Via Napoli pizza is 100% worth the cost. If you can get to The Oasis first thing in the morning, when the pastries are fresh, it’s fabulous – but, later in the day, they are stale.
Les Halles used to be a must-do, but in the last few years the lines have been way too long for me. I could die of starvation waiting in that line.
Straight to jail for dipping the salsa into the queso!
LOL! I'm shocked that Garden Grill and Les Halles did so well. LOL!! Who would have guess that AJ, errrr the team lol!, would have picked them! 🙂 Such a fun video, questionable selections, but a fun video! LOL!
Absolutely not! Love you guys but garden grill the best?!? Naaaah
Great video! Thank you for confirming that my choice to book Garden Grill was a great one! 🎉
No Bias?!?! You've been carrying a torch for Garden Grille forever. This should have been based on food quality from the beginning. To put Takumi Tai and Monsieur Paul against each other in the first round was very unfair. You kept moving the goalposts with each competition. By far Takumi Tai or Monsieur Paul should have won. I predicted before I watched this that Garden Grille was going to win. Clearly you don't know what good cuisine is.
Me and my girlfriend loved the video but couldn’t help but notice that the restaurant one the right won every single time. Please switch it up if you do another 😂
Do not trust Oasis Sweets and Sips. My bf wanted to try and surprise our group with some desserts when he was picking up a drink and kept asking if there were any desserts that had no nuts. The male staff member kept saying yes, the 'almond cookie' and my bf kept re-iterating anything with no nuts (and would be very clear saying nothing with tree nuts and there was just too much talking back and forth. A female cast member took out the book and it showed that everything had nuts. The guy was a liltle embarrassed, but at the same time was adamant he knew what he was talking about. Just be careful for those w allergies. Note that I never really order anything from that stand, but my bf had never been to WDW before and thought maybe they would have something.
Before starting from watching enough DFB I could tell Garden Grille would win 😂 Definitely disagree picking it over Le Cellier, but I called it
Regarding Le Cellier, I have three words: Maple. Creme. Brulee. Trust me on this and you're welcome.
I went to garden grill when I just went to Disney in May because you guys talk about it a lot. In my opinion, thought it was okay for what it was but it wasn't the best. It was average food. Although it did trip my husband out that the restaurant spun when I kept pointing and going. Hey look he's like wait a minute. What happened?
It may be loud, but the best sit down meal I’ve had at Epcot was Oktoberfest. I think they are underselling how good the food is there. The apple strudle alone is enough reason to visit
I will NEVER understand Garden Grill even making it to the second round. Better than Le Cellier? Are you kidding me? The hell??
I haven’t been following and watching DFB for years to not know how this was going to shake down 😂
Love the video but some of the comparisons in Round 1 don’t match up
My predictions were pretty close. Only I thought the final would be Garden Grill vs Le Cellier. Never thought the Norway one, would make it past Le Cellier. When it came down to Garden Grill and Norway at the end, I wanted Garden Grill to win because look at the Disney Princess themed castle already won the Magic Kingdom battle. For two different restaurants of a very similar theme to win both parks' restaurant battles, is too unfair and undiverse. Garden Grill deserves this Title.
I know this is for fun but a lot of the comparisons make no sense.
Chefs de France is amazing.
I pretty much only eat at the pub in England and a the buffet in Germany. Would like to eat at Mexico indoors but we always go to the margarita bar down there.
I can’t believe Garden Grill beat out all those amazing international restaurants!!! Now I want Epcot food….
As a long time viewer I was not shocked that Garden Grill won 😂
