What To Eat At Epcot's Food & Wine Festival

I love to eat. It's one of my favorite things to do. I knew I would want to check out the Food & Wine Festival when we were in Walt Disney World.

It's held in Epcot

Now, I'm not big on wine. I know, it shocks a lot of people. It's just not for me. But food? Yes.







Basically you walk to different stalls set up that represent a different country. I told my kids we would be "walking around the world" and we could try whatever caught our fancy.

The first thing was a filet mignon from Canada. My son immediately started to dig in.

"Wait!" I yelped. "I need to take a picture!"




We also got the beer cheddar cheese soup with the pretzel bread.



Both were amazing. And I totally forgot to take a photo of the menu. We were just so excited to eat. I will say that I wish the filet mignon was easier to cut though. Plastic cutlery makes it tricky. But the flavor was totally there.

Then we headed to France.

Here's the menu:



We decided to get the Creme Brulee. I dared my kids to try the Croissant aux Escargots and they were like, "Um, no."

The Creme Brulee? Was spectacular.



And yes, there was raspberry inside. My son didn't like it because he's picky about desserts, so my daughter and I shared.




The area in France is so beautiful by the way.



We can't go to France and NOT stop at the Boulangerie. We got the Croque Monsieur I think it was. And then the macaron.





The World Showcase is so beautiful. It's relaxing when there aren't a billion and five people walking around. But we went when it wasn't crazy busy. I recommend a weekday if possible.




We stopped off at Belgium and decided to try a waffle. Now, I used to live in Belgium so I know real Belgian waffles are supposed to have sugar crystals.




This did not. It was just a regular waffle covered in chocolate sauce and whipped cream. Boring. It needed the sugar crystals.




Natalie loves Japan, so she was excited to eat there. We decided on the Teriyaki Chicken Bun.







It was so neat to look at. And yes, it was delicious.

If you want to try lots of different foods, I recommend sharing with people. Then your stomach doesn't fill as quickly and you can sample more things. I would normally just buy one of something and we'd split it. Granted, things can get tricky when there's a teenage boy in the mix who can finish off each sample in two bites.

By the way, the store in Japan is one of my daughter's favorites.

"It's so kawaii!" She wanted all this Gudetama stuff to go with her backpack that she got for her birthday. (We found it at Think Geek!) I let her pick out ONE thing.






I love my pasta which is why the Keto diet will NEVER be for me, so I was excited to head to Italy.




We went for the Mezzi Rigatoni.




This was amazing. I was starting to get full, but if I wasn't, I'd have bought one for myself. It had such an incredible flavor. If I weren't so lazy, I'd learn to make it on my own. But alas.


Finally, we went for the Croissant Sprinkle Donut at the stand in front of Test Track. I forgot to take a photo of the menu here, but I think it was called Taste Tracks, and it was all sweet stuff.




You wouldn't think that small portions could fill you up quickly, but they can! Even when you share. I wanted to try more but my stomach was done. Also, I was running low on funds. Hence my shirt. (We also did Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party that day.)




I hope to return to the Food & Wine Festival one day. There's so much more I want to try. And I need that pasta again.






Have you ever been to the Food & Wine Festival? If so, what was your favorite dish?

  1. I've never been to Epcot, but it was fun to look through your pictures and see what it is like. We are stationed in Germany and recently went to Europa Park. The whole layout of the park is themes of different countries, kind of like Epcot! I never thought of the comparison. It would be interesting to know which was built first. https://www.europapark.de/en

  8. Oh man I would be all over this. I love to eat all sorts of different kinds of food anyway but Epcot center has that corner of the market big time. Everything that you took a picture of I would eat in a heartbeat. If I ever get down there I am definitely going to do something like this.

  10. This is definitely a place for me, as I love food from around the world! Regarding the waffles, there are two types in Belgium: the ones with the sugar (which are called Liege waffles) and the ones without sugar but with toppings. I would have loved to try that escargot croissant, it sounds so intriguing.
