I've been to WDW at least 20 times, and only on the very last time did I discover the best WDW restaurant !!
It's located in Norway, EPCOT !
Don't confuse it with the Norwegian cafe with the great pastries, it's located right in front of the cafe actually.
As we were walking around the park I said: Hey I wonder what Norwegian food's like ! and we thought what the hell, and walked into the restaurant!
We just paid a fixed price, and it included appetizers' buffet, and non stop entrees service, and desserts!
When we were about half way though our main course, the waitress came up to us and took our orders for the next main course, and so on !
They have the best Salmon I've even had, and I don't even like seafood that much!
I ordered it after the lady kept telling us about it being their national meal and that I couldn't be in Norway and not try it bla bla bla! but I am so glad I listened to her!
anyway, after that came the desserts! She brought us samples of about 10 Norwegian desserts, mainly chocolate! and I wondered how the hell she figured out what my secret addiction was!
We tipped her good 'cause we loved EVERYTHING about the restaurant!
Next time We're planning to try the German restaurant! Who knows, we might be in for another treat!
I would skip American, Italian, Chinese, and Japanese restaurants in EPCOT, you have those kinds of restaurants back home!

Mnss wow, 20 times! I wish. I would go every year if I could.
I will put that on the list for when I make it back there just me and my husband. I am not sure that my step mom and my niece would be that "adventurous". My step mom is sort of a picky eater and I can see her, then encouraging my niece, wrinkling their noses.
I checked disboards and that restaurant is Akerhaus. Sounded different and interesting. I think when I go with my husband I won't tell him either where we are going. He can be picky, where I want to try everything. I did that with the Morroccan restaurant. He liked the belly dancer lady much better than the food. We both weren't to impressed there.

I am actually very picky when it comes to food! but we were going back home on the following day, and I thought let's just do it !!
Norwegian food is actually not that different, it's just that there was a bigger section on the menu dedicated to seafood, but they still had grilled beef and chicken dishes.
On the other hand, the menu of an American restaurant would have a bigger section dedicated to steak and cheeseburgers, but it will still have seafood dishes!
It's not like they serve fried elephant or zebra

Mnss, oh, believe me I know that they are not serving fried zebra or anything.
You just have to understand my step mom
and my best friend. Both cannot even stand the smell of seafood. My step mom will go to a restaurant that has it and eat chicken. The best friend will not go to a place like Red Lobster.
They have a tendancy to become sort of xenophobic when it comes to food. Any foriegn delecacy is looked upon with great suspicion. While I love to try new food. It's kind of a pain. But I love them anyway. I just save those restaurants for times when I can drag my husband! My best friend did not ever eat Chinese food until he was about 25. No, I am not kidding.

I haven't been for several years but the "fine dining" restaurant at Canada in Epcot had THE best creme brulee with a Maple Sugar coating on it when we last visited Mickey. My family is all about the creme brulee where ever we go. It is a little embarrassing for us to admit that WDW has the best we've ever tasted.

Amwosu, my husband and best friends are creme brulee maniacs. They loooove it.
Why do you feel embarrassed to say WDW has the best. Hey after all they have been starting to cater to more upscale and demanding customers. I think by the reading and sampling that I have done, they are doing it well. I think there are a couple of Zagat starred restaurants, and Victoria & Albert is supposed to be world class. They have the funds to attract some good chefs. Also didn't a few famous french chefs open a restaurant in Paris (EPCOT). If they were smart they would continue to do that.
I will add Canada to list list of must tries for me and the hubby. Creme brulee for everyone!
