EPCOT has 11 pavilions that showcase different countries around the world, offering up cultural food, drinks, and shopping. It can be overwhelming knowing where the best spots are to eat and drink, what you need to see, and what you can skip. Over the next few weeks, I will feature one pavilion a week and show you Insiders what there is to see and do and eat in each country. It will be so much fun, and I can’t wait to take all of you Insiders on this exploration! So far, we have explored Mexico, Norway, China, Germany, Italy, American Adventure (U.S.), Japan, Morocco, France, and the United Kingdom; now we are at the last stop, Canada!
The Canada pavilion is to the right, and there has been a great debate on whether guests should start in the Canada or Mexico pavilion. Some do begin in Canada, but most start in Mexico and end in Canada. Whether you decide to start or end in Canada, know this is one pavilion with the least amount to do, so your visit will most likely be quick!
Dining
The one (and basically only) dining spot, Le Cellier Steakhouse, has all the Canadian goods! Under sweeping stone arches and flickering candle sconces, this sizzling steakhouse recalls the wine cellars of grand château-style hotels like Fairmont Le Château Frontenac and Fairmont Château Laurier. They serve up incredibly delicious options for both lunch and dinner; savor tender steaks, fresh seafood, cheesy poutine fries, and other regional cuisine inspired by the provinces of Canada. Guests ages 21 years and over can complement their meal with fine Canadian wine, chosen from the vintages displayed in glass and wood cases surrounding the restaurant’s intimate interior. Traditional beer or specialty drinks are also available.
The ambiance is really neat, and if you love Canadian food (or want to try it), this is a great and popular spot you can make a reservation at!
The Canada Pavilion doesn’t have any other dining spots, but they do have a Popcorn Cart! Here, you can grab a souvenir bucket with some good, buttery popcorn or quench your thirst with their selection of beverages, including Canadian draft beers!
Shopping
The Northwest Mercantile is a really fun shop to browse around in! Skate right on in for NHL jerseys, lumberjack shirts, Maplefoot Babies, plush toys, folk art, maple syrup, and other Canuck wares.
Entertainment
The Canadians know how to throw a party and have a good time! At The Mill Stage, you can clap and sing along as the Alberta Bound band will take you on a musical tour of our neighbors to the north.
I hope you’ve enjoyed exploring each of the pavilions around the World Showcase at EPCOT with us!
