Le Cellier Steakhouse reservation alerts

Beneath the Canada pavilion

Le Cellier is built as the wine cellar of a French-Canadian château — stone arches, low lighting and a deliberately enclosed room that feels a long way from the World Showcase promenade above it.

The room is small, which is central to both its atmosphere and its scarcity.

The cheddar soup and the steaks

The Canadian cheddar cheese soup is the dish the restaurant is known for, and plenty of guests order it before anything else. Beyond that it is a steakhouse — filet mignon, a signature ribeye, poutine and pretzel breadsticks.

It carries a signature-dining designation, so expect a higher price point than most of World Showcase.

Why Le Cellier is one of EPCOT's hardest

A genuinely small dining room, a long-standing reputation, and a location in the most-visited stretch of World Showcase combine badly for availability. Interest has grown steeply over the past year, and dinner tables are frequently gone the moment the window opens.

A small room with no windows

Le Cellier is built as a wine cellar beneath the Canada pavilion — low stone arches, dim light and no windows anywhere. It is one of the most enclosed dining rooms at Walt Disney World, which people either love or find claustrophobic.

The room is also genuinely small, and that is most of the booking problem. A signature restaurant in a compact cellar simply cannot seat many people in an evening, however much demand there is.

How to catch a Le Cellier table

Festival seasons push EPCOT demand higher still, but they also generate more schedule changes — and every change puts a table back into circulation for a short while.
