Coral Reef Restaurant
World Nature, EPCOT
About
Coral Reef Restaurant lets you dine right next to a massive living coral reef inside EPCOT. The dining room features giant panoramic windows that look directly into The Seas saltwater aquarium, which holds over 2,000 sea creatures. You can watch sharks, stingrays, and sea turtles swim past your table while you eat. The menu focuses on seafood and classic American dishes with a coastal Florida flair. It is a great spot for families who want a quiet, air-conditioned meal with a memorable view.
How to Get There
This restaurant is located inside EPCOT in the World Nature area, right next to The Seas with Nemo & Friends pavilion. If you enter through the main park entrance, walk to the right toward the large ocean-themed pavilion. If you are coming from Disney's BoardWalk or the EPCOT resorts, take the Disney Skyliner or a Friendship boat to the International Gateway entrance, then walk toward the front of the park. The entrance to the restaurant is on the right side of The Seas pavilion building, under a wave-shaped canopy.
Menu Highlights
The menu focuses on Florida coastal cuisine, featuring seafood options like lobster bisque, grilled snapper, and shrimp fettuccine. For guests who prefer land-based options, the restaurant serves a classic surf and turf. Kids can choose from simpler meals like grilled fish or grilled chicken with sides. Key West sunset and pineapple coconut bread pudding are available for dessert.
