The MouseHub take

Le Cellier Steakhouse is the signature-dining steakhouse in the Canada pavilion at EPCOT, a low room under sweeping stone arches and flickering candle sconces. Disney built it to recall the wine cellars of the grand château-style hotels that went up along Canada's railroads from the late 1800s to the early 1900s, naming Fairmont Le Château Frontenac and Fairmont Château Laurier, and Canadian vintages sit in glass and wood cases around the walls. One a la carte menu covers lunch, 12:00 PM to 3:55 PM, and dinner, 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM, so a midday table costs what an evening one does. Appetizers run $15 to $24 and entrees $38 to $120.

The restaurant page bands adults at $35 to $59.99, and the menu passes that on the first steak: the filet and both rib-eyes are $62 or more. Butcher's Cuts carry a side and a sauce inside the price, the Land and Sea plates do not, and anyone on the Disney Dining Plan spends two table-service credits per person. Diners come away happy about the steaks and the service, unhappy about a small room that seats tables close together.

At a glance

Best for
Adults who want a proper steak dinner in air conditioning and are ready to spend signature-dining money on it
Skip if
Anyone eating cheaply or quickly, since the lowest-priced entree is $38 and this is a long sit-down table inside a park you paid to enter
Worth ordering
Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup, Signature Poutine, Le Cellier Filet Mignon, 28 oz. Rib-Eye Steak for Two, Maple Crème Brûlée
Reservations
Disney calls advance reservations highly recommended, and the room is small enough that it fills across a service running 12:00 PM to 9:00 PM. The booking window opens 60 days out, with new windows released around 6:00 AM, and Disney Resort hotel guests can book a whole stay in one sitting from 60 days before arrival. Le Cellier is not on Disney's Mobile Dine Walk-Up Availability list, so there is no same-day list to join in the app. The card on the reservation is charged a per-person fee for a no-show or a late cancellation
Value
The restaurant page bands lunch and dinner alike at $35 to $59.99 per adult, and the menu runs past it. Entrees are $38 to $120, with the Le Cellier Filet Mignon at $65 and both rib-eyes at $62. Butcher's Cuts include a side and a sauce, the Land and Sea plates arrive composed, and appetizers at $15 to $24 push a two-person check well clear of the band

The good

  • The room does real work
    Sweeping stone arches, candle sconces, and Canadian wine in glass and wood cases along the walls. Disney modeled it on the cellars of the railroad hotels built across Canada around the turn of the last century.
  • You eat indoors, out of the heat
    Diners count the cool, dim cellar as the real break in an EPCOT day. The park stops existing once you get down the stairs.
  • The steaks come out as ordered
    Reviewers report the kitchen hitting the temperature they asked for across the butcher's cuts, which run a 7-oz filet, a 12-oz New York strip, and a 16-oz rib-eye.
  • A side and a sauce ride along with the steak
    Every Butcher's Cut is priced with one side and one sauce included, so a $62 rib-eye arrives with pomme frites or creamed spinach and a cabernet demi rather than on a bare plate.
  • Special diets get a full second menu
    The allergy-friendly menu here runs its own appetizers, butcher's cuts, sides, desserts, and kids' plates rather than a footnote. Disney asks guests to speak to a Cast Member about the request at each section.
  • The cheddar soup earns its reputation
    Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup, built on Moosehead Pale Ale and Nueske's applewood-smoked bacon, is $15 and the dish reviewers name first. Disney Parks Blog published the recipe and suggests pretzel bread for dipping.

The bad

  • The tables sit close together
    The dining room is small, and diners report following the conversation at the next table through their whole meal.
  • No daylight reaches the room
    The cellar is lit by candle sconces. Guests who booked expecting cozy describe closed-in instead, particularly at a midday table.
  • Lunch costs the same as dinner
    One menu covers both services at one set of prices, so the usual trick of eating a signature restaurant at lunch to save money does not work here.
  • The bill outruns the posted band
    Disney bands adults at $35 to $59.99, and the Le Cellier Filet Mignon is $65 on its own, before a $15 soup or a $13 draft.
  • Two dining plan credits go per person
    Lunch or dinner here redeems 2 Table-Service meals for each person dining, and reviewers on the plan tend to feel the entree did not justify the second credit.
  • The food sits heavy for a walking day
    Cheese soup, poutine, and a rib-eye is a lot to carry around World Showcase in Florida heat, and diners say so afterward.

Veteran tips

  • Book at the 60-day mark
    Disney takes dining reservations up to 60 days ahead, releasing new windows around 6:00 AM. Resort hotel guests can book an entire stay in one sitting starting 60 days before arrival, which is what empties this room's availability first. There is no fallback: Le Cellier is absent from Disney's Mobile Dine Walk-Up Availability list, so a party without a reservation has nothing to join in My Disney Experience and has to ask at the podium.
  • Book on availability, not on the meal name
    Lunch runs 12:00 PM to 3:55 PM and dinner picks up at 4:00 PM until 9:00 PM, off one menu at one set of prices. A noon table and a 7:00 PM table get the same steak for the same money, so take whichever one the calendar offers.
  • Do the math on the steak for two
    The 28 oz. Rib-Eye Steak for Two is $120 with one side and one sauce between you. Two 16-oz. Rib-Eyes are $62 each with a side and a sauce apiece, so sharing saves $4 and costs you four ounces and a second side.
  • Split the sauce flight at $9
    Five sauces, including cognac-peppercorn and chardonnay-truffle butter, for less than half the price of the $19 lump crab or $18 garlic shrimp add-ons. It gives a table something to argue about.
  • Drink the Canadian drafts
    Moosehead Lager at $9.25 and Molson Canadian at $9.75 are the cheapest pours on a list where cocktails start at $15.50 and wine by the glass starts at $20.
  • Ask for the allergy menu by name
    Do it when you sit, not when you order. Disney's own instruction is to ask to speak with a Special Diets Trained Cast Member on arrival at the location.
  • Cancel in time or the card is charged
    The credit card on the reservation is automatically charged a per-person fee for a no-show, a late cancellation, or a modification that then needs cancelling.
  • A table here is not park entry
    Le Cellier sits inside EPCOT. Disney warns that a dining reservation does not guarantee access to a park, and that a theme park reservation may be required depending on your admission type.
