Have You Dined at the Most Underrated Restaurant in EPCOT?

Everyone loves a hidden theme park gem. You know what I’m talking about. That quiet corner you can relax in a Disney Park, a cheap eat that is unbelievably delicious, or that fun attraction with a shorter than expected wait time. When it comes to Disney dining, it’s common to hear places like Chef Mickey’s, Crystal Palace, Le Cellier, and Cinderella’s Royal Table mentioned on repeat. But that does not mean those are the only places you should consider dining at on your Disney trip.

Biergarten Restaurant is nestled in the heart of the World Showcase in the Germany Pavilion. Tucked into the back quiet corner of the pavilion past the quick-service spot for beer and pretzels, Sommerfest, and the quaint shops, you’ll find this bottomless table service Disney dining experience. Built to be reminiscent of the Bavarian region’s famous Oktoberfest celebration, this meal may just fool you into thinking you are celebrating in the Hofbräuhaus in Munich, Germany. We can assure you it’s a great deal cheaper than booking a plane ticket to Europe, and you’ll enjoy cuisine that is a staple part of the German festival experience.

Families looking to enjoy a sit-down meal may actually save money by opting for a bottomless restaurant like the hidden gem Biergarten Restaurant. Picky little ones can choose their favorite foods from a buffet and avoid dishes they would rather not try. Hungry teens that eat shocking amounts can make as many trips to the buffet as needed, and adults can enjoy tasting a variety of new-to-you German food.

The inside of Biergarten Restaurant dining room is a town square setup. The seating area is in front of a wooden festival stage and the scene is surrounded by house fronts as you’d find in German towns. The exposed timbers of the houses and the low lighting mentally transport Guests making them feel like they are in the town square in Nuremberg or Munich, Germany instead of at Walt Disney World Resort!

The restaurant is lined with picnic tables for communal seating. This seating arrangement is a staple part of the community-centered atmosphere at Oktoberfest and at this restaurant. Depending on the size of your party, you may be grouped in the dining room for communal seating with one or more additional parties. Introduce yourself and make a new friend as you kick back to enjoy a meal and great music.
