Epcot's Biergarten Restaurant

Visitors to Epcot’s Germany Pavilion can get a taste of Oktoberfest any time of year at the Biergarten Restaurant. The restaurant is housed in a traditional Bavarian style building that is reminiscent of 19th century Germany, but the food and festivities inside the Biergarten Restaurant reflect the annual Oktoberfest celebrations that lure millions of visitors to Germany every year.

The food is served buffet style with family style seating, which means that much like the real Oktoberfest, diners could be sharing their tables with visitors from another part of the country—or the world. The Central European “pigs and potatoes” diet is well represented here, with a selection of wursts (sausages), weinkraut, red cabbage sauerkraut, breads, cheese, schnitzels (a very thin breaded and fried meat cutlet), spaetzle (a starchy side dish made out of flour, eggs and water) and assorted salads. Desserts are also a big hit at the Biergarten Restaurant, with German Chocolate cake, apple strudel, and Bavarian cheesecake. There are a number of German beers and wines to choose from

Besides the frosty beverages, the main attraction is the live music, which is performed at scheduled times. With musicians dressed in lederhosen and dancers in dirndl skirts, the crowd is encouraged to sing along and join in the festivities by coming out to the dance floor. Between the buffet style dining and the live musical entertainment, even the youngest guests will enjoy what might be their very first Oktoberfest.
