Lunch at Disney World doesn’t have to be boring. From German bratwurst to traditional French sandwiches, there are some truly amazing options!
The food at Disney has come a long way in the past few years, and one of my favorite things about Disney restaurants is that many have different lunch and dinner menus. Before any Disney vacation, we look at all the menus and decide when and where we will eat, and lunch at Disney World is our favorite meal of the day!
If you’re a visual person like me, head to my Instagram page, where I have highlights of our trips, including photos of the food at Walt Disney World. I share everything there, including meals that don’t make the cut here on the blog!
Lunch At Disney World Is More Affordable
Not only are lunch prices a little more reasonable, but the portion sizes are too – which leaves room to try more! Great food and a fraction of the dinner cost? Yes, please! =)
Trying everything you want in one trip is virtually impossible, but we keep this list updated with our favorites. Disney changes their menus often, so we’ve included links to each restaurant with the most current menu. Please email us if you find one that’s no longer available. Last update April 2024
Earl Of Sandwich
- Location: Disney Springs
- Dining Plan? Yes – Quick Service
- Mobile Ordering? No
- Open For: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
- Earl of Sandwich Menu
It’s a tradition that we go to Earl of Sandwich on the first night of our trip, so I’ll start with that. Earl’s is a sandwich lover’s dream. They’ve got many options, including sandwiches, wraps, salads, soups, and treats. The line can get long, but it moves quickly! This was the special of the day, a gyro sandwich, and it was very good. However, my all-time favorite is the famous Holiday Turkey sandwich, which has turkey, cornbread stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce, and mayonnaise. It’s amazing!
Yorkshire County Fish Shop
- Location: Epcot > World Showcase > UK Pavilion
- Dining Plan? Yes – Quick Service
- Mobile Ordering? Yes
- Open: Lunch and Dinner
- Yorkshire County Fish Shop Menu
No trip to Epcot is complete without Yorkshire County Fish Shop’s famous fish and chips. It’s perfectly fried, crunchy, and served with salty, crispy fries. I’m not usually a fan of fried food, but Disney got this dish right. It’s simply delicious! The Fish Shop is a small building/walk-up window next to Rose & Crown Pub. After you get your food, walk to the right of the fish shop for seating along the water. It’s one of our favorite spots to take a break while at Epcot!

D-Luxe Burger
- Location: Disney Springs
- Dining Plan? Yes – Quick Service
- Mobile Ordering? Yes
- Open: Lunch and Dinner
- D-Luxe Burger Menu
Simply put, these are some of the best burgers on Disney property. Their signature beef blend combines beef, short rib, chuck, and brisket—and it’s delicious! They’re also known for their artisanal milkshakes, so if that’s your thing, be sure to try one. If you order a side of fries, the full size is a LOT and totally sharable. The outside deck offers gorgeous views of the water and Disney Springs. It’s one of our favorite lunch spots at Disney Springs!
Sommerfest
- Location: Epcot > World Showcase > Germany Pavilion
- Dining Plan? Yes – Quick Service
- Mobile Ordering? Yes
- Open: Lunch and Dinner
- Sommerfest Menu
Sommerfest has a small but mighty menu. The bratwurst sandwich comes with sauerkraut AND house-made paprika chips for just $10.29, and it’s enough to share. The bratwurst usually comes on a bun with the sauerkraut, but we chose to leave off the bun on this trip. But, if I’m being honest, I’m just here for the paprika chips. They’re my weakness. There is a small walkup “bier” counter outside Sommerfest where you can find my husband’s favorite beer on Disney property, Warsteiner Dunkel. Sometimes, we get a couple of beers, an order of paprika chips, and people watch!
Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie
- Location: Location: Epcot > World Showcase > France Pavillion
- Dining Plan? Yes – Quick Service
- Mobile Ordering? No
- Open For: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
- Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie Menu
Don’t let the simplicity of this sandwich fool you. It was one of the best things we ate on our trip. This is ham and cheese with Dijon mustard butter in a freshly baked baguette—and it’s amazing! Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie has something for everyone—soups, sandwiches, Niçoise salads, quiche, and desserts galore. Les Halles is also one of the few places to grab an early breakfast at Epcot.

Pizza al Taglio
- Location: Epcot > World Showcase > Italy Pavillion
- Dining Plan? Yes – Quick Service
- Mobile Ordering: No
- Open: Lunch and Dinner
- Pizza al Taglio Menu
Pizza al Taglio (aka pizza by the slice) is a small walk-up window just to the left of Via Napoli. Before we talk about how delicious the pizza is, know that this place is hardly ever open, but if you’re lucky enough to see the window up, it’s a must-try. The slices here are Sicilian style, and they’re huge! The menu changes often (and there isn’t one posted online). We ordered the Pizza San Gennaro with Italian sausage, cipollini onions, hot pepper, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, and provolone cheese. It was delicious!
Tusker House Restaurant
- Location: Animal Kingdom
- Dining Plan? Yes – Table Service * Character Meal
- Mobile Ordering: No
- Open For: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
- Tusker House Menu
With a mix of African, Indian, and American fare, the buffet at Tusker House is truly impressive and appeals to kids and adults. It’s a character meal, so it IS pricey – but worth it. Here’s why. The food is unique but in the very best way. Enjoy mojo pork, salmon, chicken curry, falafel, rice, roasted veggies, fresh salads, chutneys, breads, and desserts galore. The characters make their way around constantly, so the kids will be entertained throughout the meal. This has been a sore spot for us at other character meals where there was very little character interaction (looking at you, Chef Mickey’s). The picture above is my first plate from our last visit, and the picture below shows a few of the options on the buffet.
