Cost: Low ($12 to $20 per adult)
Food: American eclectic, counter service
As with its pick for the top table-service restaurant (California Grill), the panel's choice for the number-one casual restaurant at Walt Disney World, Sunshine Season Food Fair, was overwhelming. To those naysayers who assert that when it comes to dining, park visitors crave artery-clogging fast food, I say: Check out the dishes at this Epcot restaurant. The bustling food court is loaded with sumptuous, adventurous choices, and there isn't a burger or french fry in sight.
Sunshine Season is divided into different food stations. The Asian counter offers dishes such as a tofu and vegetable noodle bowl and spicy Thai chicken. For heartier fare, grilled salmon and rotisserie chicken is available at the grill station. A sandwich counter features un-burgers like a vegetable flatbread and smoked ham and salami on asiago ciabatta. And a soup and salad station has lighter choices available.
For Epcot warriors in a hurry to get back to Future World, Sunshine Season has pre-prepared grab-and-go items, such as sushi and side salads ready for the taking. It may be "fast food," but even the desserts are inspired. Choices might include Asian chocolate cheesecake, apple flan, or, in honor of the nearby attraction, Soarin', Soarin' brulee. In a word: yum!
