Princess Storybook Dining at Akershus Royal Banquet Hall
Restaurant at Norway Pavilion
Akershus Royal Banquet Hall, part of the Norway Pavilion within Epcot theme park World Showcase, provides a Disney Princess Storybook Dining experience in a medieval castle-themed restaurant. Akershus Royal Banquet Hall showcases American cuisine for breakfast and authentic Norwegian cuisine for lunch and dinner.
Start the day with a breakfast of American favorites served family style. For lunch and dinner, take an adventurous "taste of Norway" with an impressive Norwegian buffet (koldtbord) of cold dishes and hot entrees available à la carte.
The rotating menu and buffet selections includes Mustard Glazed Salmon, Sauteed Chicken Breast, Vegetable Stuffed Pasta, and Braised Lamb and Cabbage. Or try the Scandinavian special meatball dish made of pork, beef and capers called kjottkaker. Across the koldtbord is a grand selection of prepared salads, sliced meats and cheeses. Children's menu choices are more familiar: pizza, pasta, hot dogs and grilled chicken.
