every menu, but the same kitchens will serve up the real thing for anyone willing to
ask.
Many Epcot restaurants are overpriced, most conspicuously
Monsieur Paul
(France) and
Coral Reef Restaurant
(The Seas). Representing decent value with
their combination of attractive ambience and well-prepared food are
Via Napoli
(Italy),
Biergarten
(Germany),and
La Hacienda de San Angel
(Mexico).Biergarten
(along with
Restaurant Marrakesh
in Morocco) also features live entertainment.

Tangierine Cafe

Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie
sells pastries, sandwiches, and quiches. The
pastries don't compare to what you' find in Paris, but the sandwiches are as close to
actual French street food—in taste, size, and price—as you'll get anywhere in Epcot.
(We had one of those
Ratatouille
flashback scenes while eating one, only ours was in
the Marais.) Another favorite is the chicken-and-lamb
shawarma
platter at Morocco's
Tangierine Cafe
.Besides juicy lamb, it comes with some ofthe best tabbouleh we've
tasted in Florida.
In addition to these, we recommend the following ethnic counter-service special-
ties:
GERMANY
Sommerfest
for bratwurst and Beck's beer
JAPAN
Katsura Grill
for noodle dishes, teriyaki, and tempura
NORWAY
Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe
for pastries, open-face sandwiches, and
Carlsberg beer (our favorite)
UNITED
KINGDOM
Rose & Crown Pub
for Guinness, Harp, and Bass beers
BOB
Don't expect a broad choice of exotic dishes at Animal Kingdom.
