As invited media, Disney provided WDWNT with a gift card for food and beverages for the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, so some of the following coverage was hosted. As always, WDWNT will still provide our honest thoughts on the below.

The tastiest festival has officially returned with the opening of the 2025 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival! In this comprehensive guide, you’ll find our opinions and rankings for all of the new and returning specialty food and beverage offerings… so let’s dig in.

• Beer Flight – $12.75
• Hard Cider Flight – $12.75

Fried Pickle Spears – $5.75
with dill ranch

These are pretty much your standard restaurant fried pickles. Note that they are spears, not chips. Some people think chips are superior…. some people like the spears better. We don’t really care one way or the other. The sauce on top has an unremarkable flavor. We would rather have normal ranch.

Rank out of 7: 5

Garlic-Parmesan Wings  – $7.75

These are super greasy. It’s hard to even get to the point where you can taste the garlic parmesan because they’re so oily. Overall, the wings were mediocre. They aren’t crispy at all. We suspected it would be hard to mass-produce wings for an EPCOT festival and were not wrong.

Rank out of 7: 2

IMPOSSIBLE Chicken Tenders – $7.75
tossed in buffalo sauce with plant-based ranch and plant-based blue cheese crumbles

It’s rather good, with an enjoyable buffalo flavor. It does have a bit of spice. We’re still pretty shocked by the portion size, as it feels gigantic. The Impossible “meat” is tasty, and the plant-based ranch cools down the heat of the dish. It’s definitely a great option for plant-based eaters or carnivores who just want to give it a try.

Rank out of 7: 6

*NEW* Korean BBQ Wings – $7.75
with gochujang barbecue sauce and toasted sesame

It took a second for the spice to cut through the sauce on these wings, but the coating is crispy with juicy, tender chicken inside. These are extremely messy, but very tasty. 

Rank out of 7: 5

Unnecessarily Spicy Yet Extremely Tasty Carolina Reaper Pepper-Curry Wings  – $7.75
with creamy cucumber raita

These are predictably hot. The spice was tolerable but intense, at least to our group, who are accustomed to eating spicy offerings at Disney. You probably won’t find anything spicier at Walt Disney World right now. The sauce seems to be a paste applied to the wings, and it adds a bizarre layer to the texture before your mouth is overwhelmed by heat. Overall, this is a solid offering.

Rank out of 7: 6

Frozen Pomegranate & Raspberry Tea (Non-alcoholic) – $5
Twinings Pomegranate & Raspberry Herbal Tea with orange ice cream molecules

This is more of a typical theme park slush type of drink. It’s got a heavy pomegranate taste. It’s advertised as having an orange ice cream crumbled on the top, but it’s much more like an orange popsicle due to the consistency and flavor.

There’s definitely nothing creamy about it. This one’s not so much of a stand-out, since it has a much more basic flavor profile. Still, the cup is cute.

Rank out of 7: 3

Pickle Milk Shake (Non-alcoholic)  – $6

This remains one of the most talked-about items of the festival. It’s super milky on the front end. It has a strong dill flavor that lingers, but the dill overtakes the pickle. We would get it again, but if you don’t like pickles, you will definitely hate this shake. Of course, the cup that you can take home may be another incentive to try it.

Brew-Wing Lab can be found at the dining area inside the Odyssey, between Test Track and the Mexico Pavilion. You can find it at number 7 on the map below.

Connections Eatery

Food:

• Chocolate Baumkuchen – $6.49
• 🆕French Onion Burger – $14.49

Beverages:

• 🆕Passion Fruit Cream Slush – $6.49

Chocolate Baumkuchen – $6.49
with chocolate ganache and whipped cream

We like that despite being marketed as a chocolate dessert, the cake is not overly sweet. Since this one has the added chocolate drizzle, it is a little sweeter than the standard cake varieties. That being said, we ended up liking the added whipped cream and drizzle. Thankfully, the added toppings help make this cake a little more moist, especially when the whipped cream starts melting in the Florida heat. We definitely prefer this over the two plain versions at Starbucks.

Rank out of 7: 5

*NEW* French Onion Burger – $14.49
Gourmet beef blend, caramelized onions, and Gruyère cheese on a toasted brioche bun 

This is a full entrée, not just a sample, and it was outstanding. It was possibly the thickest counter service burger we have ever seen at EPCOT, and the bun was buttery and soft. The French Onion flavor was perfection and the included fries were delicious, as well.

Rank out of 7: 7

*NEW* Passion Fruit Cream Slush – $6.49
Passion fruit, evaporated milk, vanilla syrup, and coconut cream (Non-alcoholic; spirited version available with rum)

This was actually very good. Passion fruit is not always our favorite, but this avoids an overly strong flavor. It is refreshing for a hot day, and if you like passion fruit, we think you’d really love this.

Location of Connections Eatery at the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival

Connections Eatery can be found in World Celebration, with the main entrance near Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. You can find it at number 1 on the map below.

The Fry Basket

Food:

• Adobo Yuca Fries (Plant-based) – $5.75
• Fry Flight – $8.00
  • Sea Salt-Malt Vinegar Fries (Plant-based) 
  • Truffle-Parmesan Fries
  • Sweet Potato Casserole Fries

Beverages:

• 🆕3 Daughters Brewing Mojito Blonde Ale – $5.75 for 6 oz./$9.75 for 12 oz.
• Boyd & Blair Grapefruit Mule – $12.50

Adobo Yuca Fries (Plant-based) – $5.75
with plant-based garlic-cilantro aïoli

These were nicely cooked with a light, crisp outer layer. They have steak fry consistency and a generous amount of seasoning. The garlic cilantro aioli adds creaminess, but not much flavor to the fries.

Rank out of 7: 6

Fry Flight (Sea Salt-Malt Vinegar Fries, Truffle-Parmesan Fries with Black Garlic-Truffle Aïoli, Sweet Potato Casserole Fries with with Cinnamon-Sugar, Candied Pecans, and Marshmallow Cream) – $8.00

All of the fries are cooked really nicely, soft on the inside and a light crunch on the outside. The salt and vinegar fries tasted exactly as you’d expect. The sweet potato fries are the sweet option to contrast the two savory dishes. They have a cinnamon sugar seasoning. You don’t taste much of the marshmallow cream (ours melted), and the candied pecans add crunch. The Truffle-Parmesan fries were the least remarkable. They are just basic fries with a little bit of parmesan cheese. Compared to the others, they don’t offer much. We were split between 5 and 6, but the blandness of the parmesan fries wasn’t enough to drop the rating.

The Fry Basket is located near Refreshment Station in World Discovery. You can find it at number 6 on the map below.

Flavors from Fire

Food:

• Montreal-style Burger Slider (Plant-based) – $6.00
• 🆕Rodizio-style Grilled Beef Skewer – $7.00
• Smoked Corned Beef – $6.50

Beverages:

• Deschutes Brewery Black Butte Porter – $5.75 for 6 oz./$9.75 for 12 oz.
• Four Virtues Bourbon Barrel Zinfande – $6.50
• Swine Brine – $12.00

Montreal-style Burger Slider (Plant-based) – $6.00
featuring IMPOSSIBLE Beef with plant-based cheddar, tomato jam, bibb lettuce, and plant-based garlic aïoli on a sesame seed bun 

The Impossible Burger was great. The vegan cheese was typical plastic, but the burger itself was amazing. It was cooked perfectly and the tomato was a good accompaniment. The sesame bun adds a touch of class. We give this 5/7, but vegans will probably give it 7/7.

Rank out of 7: 5

*NEW* Rodizio-style Grilled Beef Skewer – $7.00
with marble potatoes, charred shallots, roasted baby peppers, and chimichurri

We were given a nice, large serving size of this dish and were impressed by the tenderness of the meat. The flavor from the beef and vegetables is great, and overall, this dish is an excellent value for the cost.

Rank out of 7: 7

Smoked Corned Beef – $6.50
with house-made potato chips, cheese curds, pickled onions, and beer cheese fondue  

The beer cheese fondue carries a lot of the dish, but the rest of it isn’t as memorable. When you get a chip with the pickled onion, the meat, and the fondue, it does have a really good balance in terms of its flavor profile. It has something salty with something a little bit sour, and an added crunch from the chip. There are lots of different textures, but without the fondue, this dish wouldn’t be as great.

Rank out of 7: 5

Swine Brine – $12.00
Jim Beam Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, apple-cinnamon cider, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard 

In 2017, this surprisingly good drink was made with Evan Williams bourbon. In recent years, they’ve switched to the more well-known Jim Beam bourbon, but no matter – it’s still good! The Swine Brine is definitely one of the most unique cocktails offered at the festival, and many were surprised at just how good (read: weird) this ended up being. It’s a combination of apple juice, lemon juice, bourbon, and mustard, which sounds pretty terrible. Needless to say, everyone in our group grimaced before they tried it, but they ended up enjoying it more than expected. WARNING: Don’t dip the pork in.

• Lemon-Poppy Seed Cake – $4.50

Beverages:

• 🆕Minute Maid Strawberry-Hibiscus Aguas Frescas (Non-alcoholic) – $4.75
• Harken Barrel Fermented Chardonnay – $6.00

Red Wine-braised Beef Short Rib – $8.50
with goat cheese polenta, puttanesca sauce, shaved pecorino cheese, and petit herbs 

The short rib is a little dry but tender. That could vary depending on when you get the dish, though. We love all the accompaniments. We could just eat the polenta plus puttanesca sauce and call it a day. For one festival dish, this is practically an entire meal.

Rank out of 7: 5

Lemon-Poppy Seed Cake – $4.50
with lemon icing  

This is nice, and there’s the perfect amount of icing. The cake is light and fluffy. We’ll get this again.

Earth Eats is located near The Land Pavilion in World Nature. You can find it at number 39 on the map below.

Sunshine Seasons

Beverage:

• 🆕Remy Milk Shake (Non-alcoholic) – $10.99

*NEW* Remy Milk Shake (Non-alcoholic) – $10.99
Strawberry-cheesecake milk shake topped with a cookie, mini cheesecake, white chocolate Eiffel tower, and a strawberry

This is presented very well with adorable picnic-themed toppings. Even better, the taste lives up to the appearance. This tastes as if the cheesecake was made with strawberry Nesquik. The toppings taste good in addition to the shake itself. This is a contender for our Best of the Fest this year.

Sunshine Seasons can be found on the lower level of The Land, across from the entrances to Living with the Land and Soarin’ Around the World. You can find it labeled at number 40 on the map below.

Australia

Food:

• Grilled Bushberry-spiced Shrimp Skewer – $7.00
• Roasted Lamb Chop – $8.75
• 🆕Mixed Berry Pavlova – $4.75

Beverages:

• Bulletin Place Sauvignon Blanc – $6.50
• Fowles Farm to Table Shiraz – $6.50
• Yalumba ‘The Y Series’ Viognier – $6.50
• Wine Flight – $7.50

Grilled Bushberry-spiced Shrimp Skewer – $7.00
with sweet-and-sour vegetables and coconut-chili sauce

This is a relatively basic and unremarkable dish. On the positive side, the shrimp is not fishy and well-cooked. But other than the enjoyable sweet chili sauce, there’s not a lot going on here. The vegetables are bad — they’re kind of soggy and don’t have a good flavor. Five shrimp for $7 is a decent value, but this still gets a low rating.

Rank out of 7: 4

Roasted Lamb Chop – $8.75
with mint pesto and crushed salt and vinegar potato chips

The meat was rare. It was soft, tender, and fell apart when we cut it. It had a great flavor with a good lamb note, although the mint pesto was strong (and delicious). We were disappointed that the “potato crunchies” turned out to be crushed up potato chips, and not in very small pieces. They did add a nice bit of salt and crunch though. Overall, this was a really delicious dish, especially if you enjoy rare meat. With the sauce, it was a little greasy, so be sure to grab some napkins.

Rank out of 7: 6

*NEW* Mixed Berry Pavlova – $4.75
with crunchy meringue shell, macerated berries, and whipped cream

The flavors in this dish are good. The berries were fresh and tasty, and the whipped cream was standard, but the meringue was tough and off-putting. We do not feel this really works as an overall dish.

The Australia Global Marketplace is located on World Showcase Plaza near Disney Traders. You can find at number 8 on the map below.

Mexico

Food:

• Flauta de Barbacoa – $8.75
• 🆕Tostada de Carnitas – $8.00
• 🆕Flan de Cajeta – $6.75

Beverages:

• 🆕Clarita Margarita – $13.75
• Mexican Craft Beer – $6.00 for 6 oz./$11 for 12 oz.
• 🆕Strawberry-Pomegranate Margarita – $13.25

Flauta de Barbacoa – $8.75
Fried tortillas filled with barbacoa beef topped with salsa verde, romaine lettuce, crema Mexicana, and queso fresco

This has a nice kick, but the flavors are basic overall. That being said, sometimes you want the most basic version of the thing that you ordered. If you want a flauta that is going to check all the boxes without doing anything overly great, this hits the spot.

Rank out of 7: 5

*NEW* Tostada de Carnitas – $8.00
Braised Pork atop a fried corn tortilla with chipotle black beans, salsa ranchera, crema Mexicana, and queso fresco

This was good, plus the pork was nice and tender. We did feel it was better than previous versions of a similar dish. However, there is nothing special about this particular item.

Rank out of 7: 3

*NEW* Flan de Cajeta – $6.75
Creamy Mexican custard with caramel sauce and toasted almonds

This is not extraordinary, but if you are looking for something sweet, this will hit all the right notes. Overall, a solid very creamy dish with a nice caramel flavor.

Rank out of 7: 5

*NEW* Clarita Margarita – $13.75
Cristalino Tequila, orange liqueur, and clarified lemon juice

If you want a strong margarita that just tastes like a margarita (or very smooth tequila), this is the drink for you. With the poor track record of Mexico Booth margaritas, this one is possibly the best we’ve had.

Rank out of 7: 4

*NEW* Strawberry-Pomegranate Margarita – $13.25
100% Agave Blanco Tequila, Joven Mezcal, pomegranate liqueur, strawberry purée, and spicy agave

The tasted overwhelmingly like salted pomegranate and bad liquor. The other margarita tasted much better and is less messy without the sticky rim.

• Baijiu Punch – $14.50
• 🆕Hainan Prosperity – $14.50
• 🆕Frozen Strawberry-Jasmine Cocktail – $14.25

*NEW* Beijing Zhajiang Noodles – $8.50
with stir-fried minced beef, cucumber, chili, and carrots in a savory douban sauce

The minced beef is very well seasoned, but there is not much of it to be had. The noodles are also very salty and oily. Overall, this is a very forgettable dish.

Rank out of 7: 3

Chicken Dumplings – $5.75
with house-made sweet-and-spicy sauce  

These were chewy and overcooked. They didn’t have a lot of flavor from the filling. For as much red “spicy” sauce is drizzled on the outside, it’s not very spicy. Otherwise, the sauce is good with a little chili flavor.

Rank out of 7: 2

Smoked Duck Bao Bun – $8.25
with pickled cucumber, scallion, and hoisin sauce 

This is very small for the cost. The piece of duck is very thick and very dry. It does have a smoky taste, but the dryness overpowers the overall taste of the entire bite.

Rank out of 7: 2

Mango-Peach Bubble Tea (Non-alcoholic) – $8.25
Green tea, mango and peach syrups, and white boba

This drink is the best new item from this booth. If you like peach, you’re going to love this. If you don’t like peach, you’re going to hate this. It was very refreshing.

Rank out of 7: 5

Baijiu Punch – $14.50
Baijiu spirit, lychee syrup, soda water, and piña colada mix 

This is one of the most refreshing drinks of the festival, with subtle hints of the featured flavors. Nothing is overpowering, and the alcohol pour is relatively heavy. It’s a solid choice.

Rank out of 7: 6

*NEW* Hainan Prosperity – $14.50
Tequila, vodka, Minute Maid Orange Juice, and mango syrup

This is exactly what it say it is: tequila, vodka, Minute Maid Orange Juice, and mango syrup. The basic flavor comes from the orange and mango juices, but overall this is nothing special.

Rank out of 7: 4

*NEW* Frozen Strawberry-Jasmine Cocktail – $14.25
Light rum, jasmine tea, and strawberry syrup

This is a very juice-forward drink with a natural strawberry flavor. There is a slight taste of the jasmine tea and rum for an overall refreshing drink. However, it is not necessarily something we would say is a must get for the festival.

• Sula Tropicale Brut Sparkling Wine – $7.50
• United Breweries Taj Mahal Premium Lager – $5.75 for 6 oz./$9.75 for 12 oz.

Potato and Pea Samosas – $5.50
with plant-based coriander-lime cream

The portion is great, the flavor is present, and it has a decent price! It has a great spice profile we would expect from India. It’s slightly mushy, but that was expected. The crust is not as crispy as we’d like, but we enjoyed it and would get it again.

Rank out of 7: 5

Chicken Tikka Masala – $6.50
with fennel-spiced yogurt and naan bread

Absolutely delicious. This is a great portion size and the perfect chicken tikka masala. The flavor is exactly what you would expect. The bread is toasted well and you get the perfect crunch. The spices are not overwhelming, but we really loved this.

Rank out of 7: 7

Mango Lassi (Non-alcoholic)  – $5.25

This version has more of the mango flavor out of the two beverage options. It’s a better flavor, but we prefer the liquor version below. It almost tastes like eggnog with a hint of chai.

Rank out of 7: 4

Mango Lassi with Camikara 8 Year Old Cask Aged Rum – $12.50

This is essentially chai custard in a glass. The flavor is good, but it’s way too hot for this. The alcohol is there, but just barely.

• Habesha Breweries Cold Gold Pilsner – $12.00

*NEW* Berbere-spiced Beef Stew – $6.75
with sweet potato mealie pap and kachumbari slaw

This dish is a little hearty for hot weather, but it would be good moving into the cooler months. It tastes like a basic beef stew and was slightly dry.

Rank out of 7: 3

IMPOSSIBLE Spicy Sausage (Plant-based) – $6.50
with peri peri peppers and onions and plant-based peri peri aïoli on a sub roll

This is a nice, big portion for the price. It has a little kick to it, but it’s not overwhelming. The sausage is well cooked, though it doesn’t taste like the sausage they have everywhere else. However, that may be because of the sauce. Definitely worth it.

Rank out of 7: 5

South African Cream Liqueur Chocolate Mousse – $6.25
with white chocolate ganache and chocolate-covered popping candy  

This was really good. The dark chocolate cake was nice and moist, and the mousse was very light. The cookie adds to the flavor profile in a nice way.

Warm Raclette Swiss Cheese and Alpine Ham – $6.00
with baby potatoes, cornichons, and baguette

This is kind of like an adult Lunchables. The only difference between this and the other raclette dish is that one has ham and the other doesn’t, but the ham is easily removable. The bread is fresh and very soft. It tastes like the baguette from Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie in the France Pavilion. The ham is just like the cold cuts you’d get at a supermarket; they’re nothing super special. The potatoes aren’t remarkable, but they are soft, which is nice. Regardless, the cheese has to be eaten quickly or else it hardens. This one’s worth getting, especially at the price point.

Rank out of 7: 5

Warm Raclette Swiss Cheese – $5.50
with baby potatoes, cornichons, and baguette

We loved this! It’s an actual block of cheese that they’re melting and then scraping off onto the plate, and unlike many dishes at the festival, this one has a good bread to cheese ratio.

Rank out of 7: 5

*NEW* Kirschwasser Torte – $5.50
with cherry-brandy buttercream, fondant, sugared almonds, and cherry compote

We had higher expectations for this dish, but it was dry and had an artificial taste.

Frozen Rosé – $9.50

This is the best “frosé” in EPCOT. But remember, it is Walt Disney World, so it’s not going to blow your mind. It’s a very nice, light yet enjoyable frosé. Cheers!

Bratwurst on a Pretzel Roll – $6.25

It’s a safe bet, and it’s good for everyone. The actual brat is nothing crazy, but it’s well done. It’s a standard pretzel bun with a standard mustard dipping sauce.

Rank out of 7: 3

Schinkennudeln – $5.25
Pasta gratin with ham, onions, and cheese

We love the flavors of this dish, but it’s very, very heavy. It would be the perfect dish to warm up with in the fall when it finally cools off. It’s pasta gratin with ham, onions, and cheese. Everything fits together nicely and is layered like a casserole. It may be a bit greasy, but its flavor and large portion size for sharing make it worth it.

Rank out of 7: 5

Apple Strudel – $5.00
with vanilla sauce  

While not particularly exciting, this dessert has become a staple at the Food & Wine Festival. The crispy and flaky exterior holds in large chunks of well-cooked apple and cinnamon with a plentiful side of vanilla sauce. We recommended it, especially at the price.

• 🆕Summer in Spain – $12.50

*NEW* Trio de Pintxos – $7.25
Jamón croqueta, pan con tomate, and tortilla Española

The croqueta was very good, with a crispy exterior and doughy interior. The cream on the top was a nice touch. The pan con tomate was also pretty good for a food booth item. The tortilla Española was our least favorite of the trio. It was basically a soft tortilla with a Thousand Island-like dressing on the top.

Rank out of 7: 5

*NEW* Paella Caldoso – $8.00
with rock shrimp, bay scallops, and smoked mussels

This paella was not great. The rice was undercooked and the seafood provided a very fishy taste. Although the presentation was beautiful, the dish is not something we would get again.

Rank out of 7: 2

*NEW* Basque Cheesecake – $5.25
with orange sauce

The was really good. It was a very light cheesecake, and the orange sauce did not overpower the cake, itself. While it is a large slice, one person could likely eat this due to the lightness of the cheesecake. We would 100% get this again.

Rank out of 7: 7

*NEW* Summer in Spain – $12.50
Frozen Simply Lemonade with Yellow Chartreuse Liqueur and Green Chartreuse Liqueur

This was served very cold and icy, but was definitely not a slush. It has a sharp, bitter flavor, and the liqueur does not cut through the tartness of the lemonade.

Italian Aperitivo Liqueur, peach purée, and prosecco  

We would ask how this is Italian, but considering the Italy Pavilion’s long history of bad and bizarre festival food, we’re probably beyond that question. It tastes like pink lemonade. It’s super tart, like there’s a pound of sugar in one cup. It’s barely passable, which makes one of the better things from the Italy booth.

Italian Red Sangria – $12.00

Traditional Japanese rice bowl with American wagyu beef blend over steamed white rice served with homemade pickles, shredded togarashi pepper, and pickled ginger

There is a very vinegar-heavy flavor in this dish. It almost tastes like a ground up McDonald’s hamburger on rice. It isn’t bad, and everything is cooked well. This is just not something we would get again.

*NEW* Osakana Karaage – $8.50
Crispy-fried pollock with spicy mayonnaise and a sweet-and-creamy yuzu sauce

Teriyaki Chicken Bun – $7.95
Steamed bun filled with minced chicken, vegetables, and teriyaki sauce  

Inside of this delicately prepared bao bun is a good amount of shredded chicken tossed in a sweet teriyaki sauce.

The menu description says there’re vegetables in there, but there’s far more chicken than vegetables—and that’s a good thing! There’s a lot of value here in the relatively large portion for the price, especially in EPCOT festival terms. It’s a tasty and safe bet for this year.

Spanakopita – $5.00

This was sadly just not that good. Spanakopita should have a flaky, crunchy bite to it, but these were chewy. The phyllo was greasy. One of our reporters called it “the Sam’s Club.” The spinach and feta flavor was decent, but not worth the texture.

Rank out of 7: 4

Moussaka featuring IMPOSSIBLE Beef (Plant-based) – $5.50

Griddled Cheese – $5.25
with pistachios and honey

This is always a good dish, though we might not always want it in the Florida heat. The caramelized top of this griddled cheese has a ton of flavor — it tastes like a mix of cheese and crème brûlée. The pistachio offers a nice crunch to the overall texture, plus a sweet and salty flavor profile.

Rank out of 7: 5

Lamb Gyro – $7.00
with shaved lettuce, tomato-cucumber relish, and tzatziki on warm flatbread 

The gyro meat was dry and chewy, but the flavor was authentic. A bit light on the meat and too much of everything else. We found the pita to be thick, and the main flavor came from the tzatziki sauce. If we had less sauce, or even some of the side, we would’ve liked this more. It’s good, just not great, and there are better options from this booth.

Choice of: Chermoula Chicken, Moroccan-spiced Lamb, or Plant-based Falafel

The pita bread used for these is not great and tastes store-bought. The chermoula chicken version was okay, and we enjoyed the veggies. However, it needed more spice and seasoning Rating: 4/7). The Moroccan-spiced Lamb was a much better. It was slightly dry, but with all the vegetables, it made for a decent wrap (Rating: 5/7). The plant-based falafel was also very dry and didn’t taste great (Rating 3/7).

Overall Rank out of 7: 4

Stone-baked Moroccan Bread – $5.25
with assorted dips 

The orange sauce is zhoug. It’s tangy and spiced at the same time, slightly reminiscent of a tomato sauce. The chermoula is green, and contains herbs with aioli. The cream-colored one is the hummus. It’s tangy, but still pretty good. If you want a really superb hummus go to Sanaa at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, but this one is still good all the same. We enjoyed this, but wish there was more bread to go with the dips.

Beer-braised Beef – $6.75

Previously, the beer-braised beef was found on a waffle. A few years ago they decided it looked more attractive on mashed potatoes, and we agree. It’s also a lot easier to eat! The beef is ultra tender and falls apart with a fork, and there’s plenty of gravy and mashed potatoes to help soak each other up. It’s an absolutely fantastic dish, albeit not looking the most photogenic.

Despite this dish being offered for a few years in a row, it seems they still have some tweaking to do if it’s going to stay on the menu.

• 🆕Keel Farms Maple Harvest Hard Cider – $5.75 for 6 oz./$9.75 for 12 oz.

*NEW* Butternut Squash and Ginger Bisque – $5.50
with cinnamon cream, toasted pumpkin seeds, and pumpkin seed oil 

For a soup on a hot day, this was very good. We will definitely return to get this in the cooler months. We would consider this one of the best soups we’ve ever gotten at an EPCOT festival.

Rank out of 7: 7

*NEW* Apple-Cinnamon and Caramel Mini Churros Sundae – $5.25
with vanilla bean gelato

Even though it tastes like an upscale McDonald’s apple pie, it was very good and a great way to cap off a day of eating.

Rank out of 7: 6

Fall Fruit Cheesecake – $5.50
featuring Boursin Fig & Balsamic Cheese with pomegranates and candied pecans

This is good. It tastes like Fig Newton cheesecake. It is not as good as other cheesecakes available at the festival, but it does offer a nice fall flavor. The presentation was also nice.

Rank out of 7: 5

Freshly Baked Carrot Cake – $5.00
with walnuts and cream cheese icing  

This carrot cake is served warm and with delectable cream cheese icing on top. The flavors match a proper carrot cake, and we feel this dessert is safe for even the pickiest of eaters. At the price, you can’t go wrong.

Forest & Field

Food:

• Pumpkin-Mascarpone Ravioli – $5.50

• 🆕Daou Vineyards Chardonnay – $6.50
• 🆕Famille Hugel Classic Pinot Noir – $6.50

*NEW* Autumn Chili featuring IMPOSSIBLE Beef  (Plant-based)  – $6.50
with root vegetables, plant-based cheddar, and plant-based sour cream in a bread bowl

The meat did not have a good consistency, and there was not much spice. The bread wasn’t bad, but it was very dry. This was disappointing and mushy.

Rank out of 7: 2

Pumpkin-Mascarpone Ravioli – $5.50
with brown butter vinaigrette, pecorino cheese, pomegranate seeds, and hazelnut praline

There is a lot going on in this dish. The pumpkin filling offers a sweetness, the pomegranate seeds are sweet, and the cheese offers a funky, tangy flavor. The crunch from the pomegranate seeds and hazelnut praline also added a nice texture.

Rank out of 7: 5

*NEW* Schiacciata Sandwich – $6.25
Mortadella, prosciutto ham, sun-dried peppers, arugula, stracciatella cheese, fall squash mostarda, and pistachio pesto on warm focaccia 

This was a very standard and basic sandwich. We truly thought this was going to be disappointing and stale, but overall, the flavors were good and the bread was decent.

Swirled Showcase

Food:

• 🆕Liquid Nitrogen Frozen Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse – $5.50
• Soft-serve in a Cone – $6.50

Beverages:

• Floats (Non-alcoholic) – $6.75
• Frozen Apple Pie (Non-alcoholic) – $6.75
• 🆕Früli Strawberry Belgian White Beer – $12
• 🆕Strawberry Beer Float – $13.25

*NEW* Liquid Nitrogen Frozen Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse – $5.50
featuring Philadelphia Cream Cheese with candied pecans and maple-caramel sauce

This was the coldest item we had all day. It has a nice pumpkin flavor with an added crunch from the candied pecans.

Rank out of 7: 7

Floats (Non-alcoholic) – $6.75
Coca-Cola, Barq’s Creme Soda, or Fanta Grape with choice of soft-serve

We went with the Fanta Grape option, and this has a strong grape flavor. It tastes like a melted grape snow cone with a little bit of ice cream. We didn’t like this and would rather just have a grape slushie. Plus, it’s expensive for a very small cup. We will say that after the ice cream had fully melted, this was much better.

Rank out of 7: 3

Frozen Apple Pie (Non-alcoholic) – $6.75
Apple pie filling, apple-cinnamon soft-serve, and apple-cinnamon cider topped with streusel

This is one of our favorite non-alcoholic drinks at the festival. We did feel like there was a bit too much ice cream and not enough cider. The apple pie filling on top is great. It’s a tasty and refreshing slush. We feel like, again, the cup is too small for the price and for how many ingredients there are.

Rank out of 7: 5

*NEW* Strawberry Beer Float – $13.25
Früli Strawberry Belgian White Beer and vanilla soft-serve

Although an odd pairing, this works. The beer is very strawberry-forward, so it pairs well with the ice cream. We would not necessarily get this again, but it might be for you. In a world where beer and ice cream shouldn’t go together, it’s better than average.

*NEW* Butterscotch Cookie Cold Brew (The American Adventure) (Non-alcoholic) – $6.79
Joffrey’s French Roast Cold Brew, cookie butter syrup, and butterscotch syrup topped with whipped cream and sea salt caramel toffee sauce

We opted for the alcoholic version of this drink, and it was fantastic. It tasted like a Biscoff Cookie mixed with cold brew and Bailey’s. We do not normally give perfect ratings to coffee drinks, but this one earns it.

Rank out of 7: 7

*NEW* Fudge Brownie Cold Brew (Near Disney Traders) (Non-alcoholic) – $6.79
Joffrey’s Shakin’ Jamaican Cold Brew, Irish cream syrup, and dark chocolate sauce topped with whipped cream, dark chocolate sauce, and chocolate powder

We opted for the alcoholic version of this drink, but we were overall disappointed with the coffee. It has a bitter flavor and graininess from one of the ingredients.

Rank out of 7: 2

*NEW* Crème Brûlée Cold Brew (Between UK and Canada) (Non-alcoholic) – $6.79
Joffrey’s French Roast Cold Brew and crème caramel syrup topped with whipped cream and caramel sauce

As with the other, we opted purchased this coffee drink with alcohol. This one was equally good. We would get this again.

Rank out of 7: 6

*NEW* Churro Latte (Near Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind) (Non-alcoholic) – $6.79
Espresso with choice of milk, dulce de leche sauce, and cinnamon syrup topped with whipped cream and cinnamon

We opted to get the option with Bailey’s Original Irish Cream Liqueur for $14.99. There was a slight chalky texture from the topping, and this could be compared to an alcoholic chocolate milk with a hint of cinnamon. However, it was very tasty, and we would order it again.

*NEW* Curry-spiced Fried Cheese – $5.25

with mango-curry ketchup 

Nice portion of cheese sticks for the price. Breading crisp and crunchy. Cheese inside not melted enough. Nor nearly enough curry flavor for something advertised with curry in the batter and curry in the dip. Did not detect mango at all…was just slightly flavored ketchup. Not enough dip to last through the serving size of the sticks.

Rating out of 7: 3

Potato Pierogi – $6

with kielbasa, caramelized onions, and sour cream

These are nothing more than overcooked Mrs. T’s Pierogies. The caramelized onions were the only edible part of the dish. There are only a few slices of kielbasa, and they’re a cheap store brand you can hardly taste. They were also overcooked and tough. 

Rank out of 7: 1

Frozen S’mores – $5.25

Chocolate Milk Shake with Marshmallow syrup topped with Mini Marshmallows and a Graham Cracker (Non-Alcoholic)

This is a fun and delicious option for adults and kids, alike. It’s a pleasant chocolate milk slushy topped with a Graham cracker piece, mini marshmallows. We would definitely get this again. 

Rank out of 7: 7

Irish Milk Shake – $12.50 

Guinness Stout, Baileys Original Irish Cream Liqueur, and Vanilla Ice Cream

This is a smooth, rich, and creamy shake that is simply to die for. There’s a hint of Bailey’s cream liquor and an underlying flavor of Guinness Stout. The chocolate flakes help bring this mixture together into one perfect drink. For the price including the souvenir Ireland plastic cup, we think this is deserves the Festival Favorite designation.

*NEW* Gyozas of the Galaxy – Coming Soon

Gyozas of the Galaxy will have a delayed debut, arriving at the festival one month after it begins, on September 28. Guests will be able to find the festival kitchen near Creations Shop.
