As at all times, there are stunning new additions in addition to returning fan-favorites on this checklist…
Let’s begin with a couple of prefatory notes earlier than digging in. We’ve been overlaying Meals & Wine Pageant during the last decade-plus, high quality management will not be at all times the very best…and even so-so. Objects are produced rapidly and in giant portions, and should not made to order. As such, outcomes could be inconsistent, and one particular person’s “completely cooked” steak might be over-cooked for a visitor who orders the identical factor minutes later.
Likewise, portion sizes can fluctuate fairly considerably. There have been occasions when we’ve sat at our desk stood at our trash can, and seen that different friends close to us who ordered the identical factor have considerably smaller or bigger parts. Each of those variables can influence your notion of a specific dish.
Meat or seafood that’s been slow-cooking underneath a warmth lamp for half-hour will not be going to measure as much as one thing freshly ready. That’s very true on slower days. You is likely to be completely satisfied to seek out no strains on the meals cubicles, however some strains are literally a good factor from the attitude of freshness.
Lastly, each the Gyozas of the Galaxy and Coastal Eats cubicles don’t open till September 28, 2025. Coastal Eats usually has no less than one ‘better of fest’ dish, and it’s very often an all-star sales space.
Gyozas of the Galaxy is the one new sales space this 12 months and has an bold menu, so it ought to be good. However, Disney has not traditionally achieved dumplings effectively at meals cubicles. There’s not a lot margin for error, and dishes slow-cooking underneath warmth lamps can doom them. However, we anticipate no less than 2-3 dishes from these cubicles to make this checklist beginning September 28, 2025.
For now, right here’s a take a look at the best-of the 2025 EPCOT Meals & Wine Pageant checklist…
Rodizio-style Grilled Beef Skewer (Flavors from Fireplace)
Served with marble potatoes, charred shallots, roasted child peppers, and chimichurri.
After a couple of steps backwards, Flavors from Fireplace is again in full type. That is grilled “out again” behind the sales space, so in the event you’re strolling close to Take a look at Monitor or Cosmic Rewind and catch a whiff of superb meats within the air, that is it. The meat is cooked on big skewers, after which dished out on plates.
We got a large serving measurement of this dish and had been impressed by each the preparation and tenderness of the meat. It was cooked to an ideal medium, with a smoky taste. It didn’t want the chimichurri, however it actually didn’t damage. The flavour from the meat and greens is unbelievable, with this beef being on par with what you can discover at some desk service eating places. This, not the Le Cellier Filet Mignon, is the very best beef of the fest.
Smoked Corned Beef (Flavors from Fireplace)
Whilst you’re right here, seize the Smoked Corned Beef with Home-made Potato Chips, Cheese Curds, Pickled Onions and Beer-Cheese Fondue. This has been one of many high 5 dishes for so long as it’s been on the menu, and that’s true once more this 12 months.
It’s smoked corned beef on a mattress of house-made potato chips, with a fondue drizzle to high it off. The fondue is complicated, and the corned beef is lean and tender, with a superb smokiness. It’s an ideal marriage of flavors; an bold consolation meals that’s excellent for fall.
In case you’re out there for a burger, head over to Connections Cafe versus ordering the Montreal Model Burger Slider. It’s not unhealthy by plant-based requirements, however I’m over any such dish and really prepared for the Unattainable sponsorship to finish. Flavors from Fireplace ought to be a carnivore’s paradise.
Forged Iron-seared River Trout (Bramblewood Bites)
That is served with vanilla-butternut squash purée, brussels sprouts salad, candied pecans, spiced pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries, and maple dressing. All the things on the Bramblewood Bites menu is unbelievable, a trio of must-order gadgets that make a unbelievable full meal. However this new dish is the standout; our #1 merchandise on the whole 2025 EPCOT Meals & Wine Pageant.
This river trout has unbelievable taste, with a surprising juicy and tender high quality that’s complemented properly by the crispy pores and skin. The butternut squash purée and brussels sprouts salad add depth to the dish, making it on par with one thing you’d get at a desk service restaurant.
Fairly actually, I can’t consider a greater fish dish in all of EPCOT, together with Coral Reef. It’s lengthy been the case that EPCOT festivals do salmon effectively, however that is the very best fish we’ve ever had at any EPCOT pageant. It’s a simple must-order, and one thing we’ll get many times. Bramblewood Bites is our go-to dinner at EPCOT for the subsequent few months.
Butternut Squash & Ginger Bisque (Milled & Mulled)
This soup is served with cinnamon cream, toasted pumpkin seeds, and pumpkin seed oil.
Frankly, it’s barely annoying that this soup is so good. I loved it on a pretty Labor Day, with a looks like temperature of 110 levels. That’s not precisely notable–the beginning of Meals & Wine is at all times scorching. So why are there so many scorching and heavy dishes? Do the individuals who make these menus by no means go away their air-conditioned workplaces?!
I’m not joking. Meals & Wine can be the right alternative for a couple of cubicles with seasonal menus, a la EPCOT Farmers Feast throughout Flower & Backyard. This might’ve been a vichyssoise or gazpacho, after which a scorching soup in October and November. Regardless, it’s excellent. Numerous depth and a wealthy, fall taste. Simply order it at night time or discover someplace indoors to eat it.
Apple-Cinnamon & Caramel Mini Churros Sundae (Milled & Mulled)
These pleasant little desserts are served with vanilla bean gelato.
These punch above their weight to an absurd diploma, and are simply the very best churro product within the parks. (Greatest total at Walt Disney World is at Coronado Springs.) The caramel sauce tastes a bit low-cost and is thick, however as soon as ‘blended’ a bit with the superb vanilla gelato, it’s effective. The churros themselves are beautiful; a little bit of crunch that rapidly offers option to a pillowly inside.
I’d order these many times, and advocate consuming them earlier than the soup above in order that has a while to chill. (In truth, that’s what I did.)
Schiacciata Sandwich (Forest & Area)
This can be a sandwich topped with mortadella, prosciutto ham, sun-dried peppers, arugula, stracciatella cheese, fall squash mostarda, and pistachio pesto on heat focaccia.
This jogs my memory of an old-fashioned Sunshine Seasons sandwich. There’s simply sufficient right here with the toppings and pleasant focaccia to raise this into one thing particular. It’s most likely not going to blow your thoughts, however in the event you’re in search of tasty ‘filler’ with out leaving the Harvest Hole space, this positively suits the invoice.
Liquid Nitrogen Frozen Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse (Swirled Showcase)
This “frozen” pumpkin cheesecake options Philadelphia Cream Cheese with candied pecans and maple-caramel sauce.
For years, our favourite dessert at EPCOT’s Meals & Wine Pageant was the Liquid Nitro Chocolate-Almond Truffle with Heat Whiskey-Caramel. Within the publish reopening-era of the occasion, it has kind of returned, however with completely different shows and subpar high quality.
Taking a look at this, you would possibly assume I took ~20 minutes on a photoshoot and it melted in that point. Nope. It at all times seemed like this. Later within the day, I noticed others that had been far more frozen in look, however the line was lengthy at that time. Regardless, my tacky pumpkin pudding had glorious taste, so I’m recommending it even on the idea of what I had.
That is mainly fall in dessert type. The proper style of Thanksgiving as an indulgence. I’ll make sure to revisit this throughout an upcoming go to, as this might and ought to be the #1 dessert of the 2025 EPCOT Meals & Wine Pageant. Keep tuned.
All the things at Flavors of America
Final 12 months, this sales space was mainly “A Salute to All American Delicacies, However Actually Solely Sizzling Canines.” They had been good scorching canines, to be honest, however it was nonetheless barely amusing that our nice nation’s numerous culinary traditions was represented by scorching canines, and solely scorching canines. It’d be like if the Canada sales space had nothing however BeaverTails (wait a minute…I like that concept).
For 2025, Flavors of America switches out its menu and provides the brand new Gulf Coast-style Seafood Roll with warm-water lobster, rock shrimp, lobster bisque, and sherry-crème fraîche on a toasted brioche bun. Then there’s the also-new New England Slider: Gradual-braised beef pot roast with spicy giardiniera, horseradish cream, and crispy fried onions on a potato roll. That is along with the Freshly Baked Chocolate Pudding Cake with Kentucky bourbon caramel (at all times a winner).
The New England Slider is nothing in need of unbelievable. The meat is tender, the sauces provides a refreshing high quality and good taste, and the fried onions additional that whereas including texture. The bun is fairly good, too. That is an absolute must-order; the spotlight of the menu, and an excellent 1-2 punch with the decadent pudding cake.
As for the Gulf Coast Seafood Roll…hear me out. I used to be mildly repulsed after they handed me that factor, a medley of seafood slathered in sauces. It most likely didn’t assist that I used to be already full, and this sales space was my knockout punch. And but, it was surprisingly tasty. All the things from the bread to the lobster bisque and sherry-crème fraîche to the combo of seafood itself. Lobster roll purists are going to recoil in horror at this abomination, however it’s an incredibly scrumptious abomination. As a considerably guilty-pleasure seafood dish from a meals sales space, it’s higher than it has any proper to be.
All the things at Earth Eats
The Purple Wine-braised Beef Quick Rib is served atop a mattress of goat cheese polenta and puttanesca sauce, and is garnished with shaved pecorino, and petit herbs. It falls aside when lower with the fork, and is extremely tender, flavorful, and juicy. Equally as vital, it has just a little little bit of fats for taste, however not a lot as to render any of the meat inedible.
Whereas the puttanesca sauce is there for taste, I felt no want to the touch this till I used to be achieved with the meat. Each stand on their very own–the puttanesca sauce with chunks of tomatoes and greens, plus the right acidity and garlic degree. Then there’s the goat cheese polenta, which was completely heavenly–wealthy and creamy and with simply the correct amount of earthiness.
This quick rib is a superb substitute for a counter service meal. That is EPCOT pageant meals at its finest–nuanced taste and a focus to element, whereas nonetheless being approachable for everybody. The Purple Wine-braised Beef Quick Rib belongs on the very high of your checklist of dishes to order. The Lemon-Poppy Seed Cake with lemon icing is the one different menu merchandise, and it’s additionally worthy of being ordered.
Roasted Lamb Chop (Australia)
This World Market has been providing up lamb dishes since so long as I can bear in mind, and the Roasted Lamb Chop with mint pesto and crushed salt and vinegar potato chips is a private favourite. I actually just like the refreshing mint pesto contrasted with the wealthy lamb; the potato chips aren’t needed, however just a little texture by no means hurts.
Australia nearly will get the coveted “order your entire menu” endorsement. Possibly it ought to have. The Grilled Bushberry Spiced Shrimp Skewer with sweet-and-sour greens and coconut chili sauce is the very best model of the shrimp we’ve ever had, and the brand new Blended Berry Pavlova (pictured on the high of the publish) with crunchy meringue shell, macerated berries, and whipped cream is superb.
Gradual-Roasted Pork Slider (Hawaii)
This slider is served with sweet-and-sour chutney that includes DOLE Pineapple and spicy mayonnaise. It’s made this checklist because the Hawaii sales space was established in 2011.
Regardless of the comparatively small roll, this sandwich comes with a heaping serving to of moist pork, topped with pineapple chutney and a liberal coating of spicy mayonnaise. The gentle zest of the sauce mixes completely with the pineapple, and the meat is at all times completely flavored. This can be a can’t miss!
In case you’ve been to EPCOT’s Meals & Wine Pageant prior to now decade–and even learn protection of the occasion–you’ve tried or heard of this. It’s a fan favourite, and for good purpose. I simply want they’d convey again the SPAM Hash.
Griddled Cheese (Greece)
The enduring Griddled Greek Cheese is again as soon as once more! This makes use of kasseri cheese, which is a standard semi-hard Greek cheese created from sheep and goat milk. Griddling the cheese softens it up, giving it an exterior pores and skin.
The hardened honey provides a sweetness and the bottom pistachios provide additional crunch. The elements coalesce remarkably effectively, and the tip result’s a creamy, nutty, candy, and earthy cheese dish that may be a actually elegant. That is simply certainly one of our all-time favourite dishes of the EPCOT Meals & Wine Pageant.
Feijoada (Brazil)
This dish options crispy pork stomach, black beans, Brazil nut pesto, and lengthy grain white rice. This can be a good one-two punch for us; the bottom provides well-rounded taste with loads of seasoning and nuance.
And naturally, what’s to not love about pork stomach?! This meat is melt-in-your-mouth scrumptious, with the correct amount of fattiness and ideal preparation. Collectively, it’s a well-balanced dish that’s without delay bold and comforting. If Walt Disney World goes to make Meals & Wine menus extra crowd-pleasing, this is strictly the way to do it!
Pickle Milkshake (Brew-Wing)
Don’t let the identify idiot you; that is pretty vanilla. Actually. It’s a vanilla milkshake with dill seasoning plus inexperienced meals coloring. The tip result’s one thing that has an attention-grabbing interaction of candy and creamy, and semi-sour, savory, tart and tangy. Greater than the rest, the Pickle Milkshake is tasty, cooling and refreshing.
I really like this! The ice cream within the shake tastes shockingly prime quality, the portion is sizable, and the value is comparatively affordable. It’s not probably the most ingenious or bold, however it’s a cost-effective ice cream supply automobile. And that issues on scorching days!
It’s price giving a shot, particularly since Brew-Wing is a big indoor sales space with ample A/C and seating. Completely nothing else on the menu is price getting, so it’s both this or strolling over Flavors from Fireplace dishes (additionally beneficial).

This dish options crispy pork stomach, black beans, Brazil nut pesto, and lengthy grain white rice. This can be a good one-two punch for us; the bottom provides well-rounded taste with loads of seasoning and nuance.
And naturally, what’s to not love about pork stomach?! This meat is melt-in-your-mouth scrumptious, with the correct amount of fattiness and ideal preparation. Collectively, it’s a well-balanced dish that’s without delay bold and comforting. If Walt Disney World goes to make Meals & Wine menus extra crowd-pleasing, this is strictly the way to do it!
Pickle Milkshake (Brew-Wing)
Don’t let the identify idiot you; that is pretty vanilla. Actually. It’s a vanilla milkshake with dill seasoning plus inexperienced meals coloring. The tip result’s one thing that has an attention-grabbing interaction of candy and creamy, and semi-sour, savory, tart and tangy. Greater than the rest, the Pickle Milkshake is tasty, cooling and refreshing.
I really like this! The ice cream within the shake tastes shockingly prime quality, the portion is sizable, and the value is comparatively affordable. It’s not probably the most ingenious or bold, however it’s a cost-effective ice cream supply automobile. And that issues on scorching days!
It’s price giving a shot, particularly since Brew-Wing is a big indoor sales space with ample A/C and seating. Completely nothing else on the menu is price getting, so it’s both this or strolling over Flavors from Fireplace dishes (additionally beneficial).

As at all times, there are stunning new additions in addition to returning fan-favorites on this checklist…
Let’s begin with a couple of prefatory notes earlier than digging in. We’ve been overlaying Meals & Wine Pageant during the last decade-plus, high quality management will not be at all times the very best…and even so-so. Objects are produced rapidly and in giant portions, and should not made to order. As such, outcomes could be inconsistent, and one particular person’s “completely cooked” steak might be over-cooked for a visitor who orders the identical factor minutes later.
Likewise, portion sizes can fluctuate fairly considerably. There have been occasions when we’ve sat at our desk stood at our trash can, and seen that different friends close to us who ordered the identical factor have considerably smaller or bigger parts. Each of those variables can influence your notion of a specific dish.
Meat or seafood that’s been slow-cooking underneath a warmth lamp for half-hour will not be going to measure as much as one thing freshly ready. That’s very true on slower days.

Lastly, each the Gyozas of the Galaxy and Coastal Eats cubicles don’t open till September 28, 2025. Coastal Eats usually has no less than one ‘better of fest’ dish, and it’s very often an all-star sales space.
Gyozas of the Galaxy is the one new sales space this 12 months and has an bold menu, so it ought to be good. However, Disney has not traditionally achieved dumplings effectively at meals cubicles. There’s not a lot margin for error, and dishes slow-cooking underneath warmth lamps can doom them. However, we anticipate no less than 2-3 dishes from these cubicles to make this checklist beginning September 28, 2025.
For now, right here’s a take a look at the best-of the 2025 EPCOT Meals & Wine Pageant checklist…
Rodizio-style Grilled Beef Skewer (Flavors from Fireplace)
Served with marble potatoes, charred shallots, roasted child peppers, and chimichurri.
After a couple of steps backwards, Flavors from Fireplace is again in full type. That is grilled “out again” behind the sales space, so in the event you’re strolling close to Take a look at Monitor or Cosmic Rewind and catch a whiff of superb meats within the air, that is it. The meat is cooked on big skewers, after which dished out on plates.
We got a large serving measurement of this dish and had been impressed by each the preparation and tenderness of the meat. It was cooked to an ideal medium, with a smoky taste. It didn’t want the chimichurri, however it actually didn’t damage. The flavour from the meat and greens is unbelievable, with this beef being on par with what you can discover at some desk service eating places. This, not the Le Cellier Filet Mignon, is the very best beef of the fest.
Smoked Corned Beef (Flavors from Fireplace)
Whilst you’re right here, seize the Smoked Corned Beef with Home-made Potato Chips, Cheese Curds, Pickled Onions and Beer-Cheese Fondue. This has been one of many high 5 dishes for so long as it’s been on the menu, and that’s true once more this 12 months.
It’s smoked corned beef on a mattress of house-made potato chips, with a fondue drizzle to high it off. The fondue is complicated, and the corned beef is lean and tender, with a superb smokiness. It’s an ideal marriage of flavors; an bold consolation meals that’s excellent for fall.
In case you’re out there for a burger, head over to Connections Cafe versus ordering the Montreal Model Burger Slider. It’s not unhealthy by plant-based requirements, however I’m over any such dish and really prepared for the Unattainable sponsorship to finish. Flavors from Fireplace ought to be a carnivore’s paradise.
Forged Iron-seared River Trout (Bramblewood Bites)
That is served with vanilla-butternut squash purée, brussels sprouts salad, candied pecans, spiced pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries, and maple dressing. All the things on the Bramblewood Bites menu is unbelievable, a trio of must-order gadgets that make a unbelievable full meal. However this new dish is the standout; our #1 merchandise on the whole 2025 EPCOT Meals & Wine Pageant.
This river trout has unbelievable taste, with a surprising juicy and tender high quality that’s complemented properly by the crispy pores and skin. The butternut squash purée and brussels sprouts salad add depth to the dish, making it on par with one thing you’d get at a desk service restaurant.
Fairly actually, I can’t consider a greater fish dish in all of EPCOT, together with Coral Reef. It’s lengthy been the case that EPCOT festivals do salmon effectively, however that is the very best fish we’ve ever had at any EPCOT pageant. It’s a simple must-order, and one thing we’ll get many times. Bramblewood Bites is our go-to dinner at EPCOT for the subsequent few months.
Butternut Squash & Ginger Bisque (Milled & Mulled)
This soup is served with cinnamon cream, toasted pumpkin seeds, and pumpkin seed oil.
Frankly, it’s barely annoying that this soup is so good. I loved it on a pretty Labor Day, with a looks like temperature of 110 levels. That’s not precisely notable–the beginning of Meals & Wine is at all times scorching. So why are there so many scorching and heavy dishes? Do the individuals who make these menus by no means go away their air-conditioned workplaces?!
I’m not joking. Meals & Wine can be the right alternative for a couple of cubicles with seasonal menus, a la EPCOT Farmers Feast throughout Flower & Backyard. This might’ve been a vichyssoise or gazpacho, after which a scorching soup in October and November. Regardless, it’s excellent. Numerous depth and a wealthy, fall taste. Simply order it at night time or discover someplace indoors to eat it.
Apple-Cinnamon & Caramel Mini Churros Sundae (Milled & Mulled)
These pleasant little desserts are served with vanilla bean gelato.
These punch above their weight to an absurd diploma, and are simply the very best churro product within the parks. (Greatest total at Walt Disney World is at Coronado Springs.) The caramel sauce tastes a bit low-cost and is thick, however as soon as ‘blended’ a bit with the superb vanilla gelato, it’s effective. The churros themselves are beautiful; a little bit of crunch that rapidly offers option to a pillowly inside.
I’d order these many times, and advocate consuming them earlier than the soup above in order that has a while to chill. (In truth, that’s what I did.)
Schiacciata Sandwich (Forest & Area)
This can be a sandwich topped with mortadella, prosciutto ham, sun-dried peppers, arugula, stracciatella cheese, fall squash mostarda, and pistachio pesto on heat focaccia.
This jogs my memory of an old-fashioned Sunshine Seasons sandwich. There’s simply sufficient right here with the toppings and pleasant focaccia to raise this into one thing particular. It’s most likely not going to blow your thoughts, however in the event you’re in search of tasty ‘filler’ with out leaving the Harvest Hole space, this positively suits the invoice.
Liquid Nitrogen Frozen Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse (Swirled Showcase)
This “frozen” pumpkin cheesecake options Philadelphia Cream Cheese with candied pecans and maple-caramel sauce.
For years, our favourite dessert at EPCOT’s Meals & Wine Pageant was the Liquid Nitro Chocolate-Almond Truffle with Heat Whiskey-Caramel. Within the publish reopening-era of the occasion, it has kind of returned, however with completely different shows and subpar high quality.
Taking a look at this, you would possibly assume I took ~20 minutes on a photoshoot and it melted in that point. Nope. It at all times seemed like this. Later within the day, I noticed others that had been far more frozen in look, however the line was lengthy at that time. Regardless, my tacky pumpkin pudding had glorious taste, so I’m recommending it even on the idea of what I had.
That is mainly fall in dessert type. The proper style of Thanksgiving as an indulgence. I’ll make sure to revisit this throughout an upcoming go to, as this might and ought to be the #1 dessert of the 2025 EPCOT Meals & Wine Pageant. Keep tuned.
All the things at Flavors of America
Final 12 months, this sales space was mainly “A Salute to All American Delicacies, However Actually Solely Sizzling Canines.” They had been good scorching canines, to be honest, however it was nonetheless barely amusing that our nice nation’s numerous culinary traditions was represented by scorching canines, and solely scorching canines. It’d be like if the Canada sales space had nothing however BeaverTails (wait a minute…I like that concept).
For 2025, Flavors of America switches out its menu and provides the brand new Gulf Coast-style Seafood Roll with warm-water lobster, rock shrimp, lobster bisque, and sherry-crème fraîche on a toasted brioche bun. Then there’s the also-new New England Slider: Gradual-braised beef pot roast with spicy giardiniera, horseradish cream, and crispy fried onions on a potato roll. That is along with the Freshly Baked Chocolate Pudding Cake with Kentucky bourbon caramel (at all times a winner).
The New England Slider is nothing in need of unbelievable. The meat is tender, the sauces provides a refreshing high quality and good taste, and the fried onions additional that whereas including texture. The bun is fairly good, too. That is an absolute must-order; the spotlight of the menu, and an excellent 1-2 punch with the decadent pudding cake.
As for the Gulf Coast Seafood Roll…hear me out. I used to be mildly repulsed after they handed me that factor, a medley of seafood slathered in sauces. It most likely didn’t assist that I used to be already full, and this sales space was my knockout punch. And but, it was surprisingly tasty. All the things from the bread to the lobster bisque and sherry-crème fraîche to the combo of seafood itself. Lobster roll purists are going to recoil in horror at this abomination, however it’s an incredibly scrumptious abomination. As a considerably guilty-pleasure seafood dish from a meals sales space, it’s higher than it has any proper to be.
All the things at Earth Eats
The Purple Wine-braised Beef Quick Rib is served atop a mattress of goat cheese polenta and puttanesca sauce, and is garnished with shaved pecorino, and petit herbs. It falls aside when lower with the fork, and is extremely tender, flavorful, and juicy. Equally as vital, it has just a little little bit of fats for taste, however not a lot as to render any of the meat inedible.
Whereas the puttanesca sauce is there for taste, I felt no want to the touch this till I used to be achieved with the meat. Each stand on their very own–the puttanesca sauce with chunks of tomatoes and greens, plus the right acidity and garlic degree. Then there’s the goat cheese polenta, which was completely heavenly–wealthy and creamy and with simply the correct amount of earthiness.
This quick rib is a superb substitute for a counter service meal. That is EPCOT pageant meals at its finest–nuanced taste and a focus to element, whereas nonetheless being approachable for everybody. The Purple Wine-braised Beef Quick Rib belongs on the very high of your checklist of dishes to order. The Lemon-Poppy Seed Cake with lemon icing is the one different menu merchandise, and it’s additionally worthy of being ordered.
Roasted Lamb Chop (Australia)
This World Market has been providing up lamb dishes since so long as I can bear in mind, and the Roasted Lamb Chop with mint pesto and crushed salt and vinegar potato chips is a private favourite. I actually just like the refreshing mint pesto contrasted with the wealthy lamb; the potato chips aren’t needed, however just a little texture by no means hurts.
Australia nearly will get the coveted “order your entire menu” endorsement. Possibly it ought to have. The Grilled Bushberry Spiced Shrimp Skewer with sweet-and-sour greens and coconut chili sauce is the very best model of the shrimp we’ve ever had, and the brand new Blended Berry Pavlova (pictured on the high of the publish) with crunchy meringue shell, macerated berries, and whipped cream is superb.
Gradual-Roasted Pork Slider (Hawaii)
This slider is served with sweet-and-sour chutney that includes DOLE Pineapple and spicy mayonnaise. It’s made this checklist because the Hawaii sales space was established in 2011.
Regardless of the comparatively small roll, this sandwich comes with a heaping serving to of moist pork, topped with pineapple chutney and a liberal coating of spicy mayonnaise. The gentle zest of the sauce mixes completely with the pineapple, and the meat is at all times completely flavored. This can be a can’t miss!
In case you’ve been to EPCOT’s Meals & Wine Pageant prior to now decade–and even learn protection of the occasion–you’ve tried or heard of this. It’s a fan favourite, and for good purpose. I simply want they’d convey again the SPAM Hash.
Griddled Cheese (Greece)
The enduring Griddled Greek Cheese is again as soon as once more! This makes use of kasseri cheese, which is a standard semi-hard Greek cheese created from sheep and goat milk. Griddling the cheese softens it up, giving it an exterior pores and skin.
The hardened honey provides a sweetness and the bottom pistachios provide additional crunch. The elements coalesce remarkably effectively, and the tip result’s a creamy, nutty, candy, and earthy cheese dish that may be a actually elegant. That is simply certainly one of our all-time favourite dishes of the EPCOT Meals & Wine Pageant.

Final 12 months, this sales space was mainly “A Salute to All American Delicacies, However Actually Solely Sizzling Canines.” They had been good scorching canines, to be honest, however it was nonetheless barely amusing that our nice nation’s numerous culinary traditions was represented by scorching canines, and solely scorching canines. It’d be like if the Canada sales space had nothing however BeaverTails (wait a minute…I like that concept).
For 2025, Flavors of America switches out its menu and provides the brand new Gulf Coast-style Seafood Roll with warm-water lobster, rock shrimp, lobster bisque, and sherry-crème fraîche on a toasted brioche bun. Then there’s the also-new New England Slider: Gradual-braised beef pot roast with spicy giardiniera, horseradish cream, and crispy fried onions on a potato roll. That is along with the Freshly Baked Chocolate Pudding Cake with Kentucky bourbon caramel (at all times a winner).
The New England Slider is nothing in need of unbelievable. The meat is tender, the sauces provides a refreshing high quality and good taste, and the fried onions additional that whereas including texture. The bun is fairly good, too. That is an absolute must-order; the spotlight of the menu, and an excellent 1-2 punch with the decadent pudding cake.
As for the Gulf Coast Seafood Roll…hear me out. I used to be mildly repulsed after they handed me that factor, a medley of seafood slathered in sauces. It most likely didn’t assist that I used to be already full, and this sales space was my knockout punch. And but, it was surprisingly tasty. All the things from the bread to the lobster bisque and sherry-crème fraîche to the combo of seafood itself. Lobster roll purists are going to recoil in horror at this abomination, however it’s an incredibly scrumptious abomination. As a considerably guilty-pleasure seafood dish from a meals sales space, it’s higher than it has any proper to be.
All the things at Earth Eats
The Purple Wine-braised Beef Quick Rib is served atop a mattress of goat cheese polenta and puttanesca sauce, and is garnished with shaved pecorino, and petit herbs. It falls aside when lower with the fork, and is extremely tender, flavorful, and juicy. Equally as vital, it has just a little little bit of fats for taste, however not a lot as to render any of the meat inedible.
Whereas the puttanesca sauce is there for taste, I felt no want to the touch this till I used to be achieved with the meat. Each stand on their very own–the puttanesca sauce with chunks of tomatoes and greens, plus the right acidity and garlic degree. Then there’s the goat cheese polenta, which was completely heavenly–wealthy and creamy and with simply the correct amount of earthiness.
This quick rib is a superb substitute for a counter service meal. That is EPCOT pageant meals at its finest–nuanced taste and a focus to element, whereas nonetheless being approachable for everybody. The Purple Wine-braised Beef Quick Rib belongs on the very high of your checklist of dishes to order. The Lemon-Poppy Seed Cake with lemon icing is the one different menu merchandise, and it’s additionally worthy of being ordered.
Roasted Lamb Chop (Australia)
This World Market has been providing up lamb dishes since so long as I can bear in mind, and the Roasted Lamb Chop with mint pesto and crushed salt and vinegar potato chips is a private favourite. I actually just like the refreshing mint pesto contrasted with the wealthy lamb; the potato chips aren’t needed, however just a little texture by no means hurts.
Australia nearly will get the coveted “order your entire menu” endorsement. Possibly it ought to have. The Grilled Bushberry Spiced Shrimp Skewer with sweet-and-sour greens and coconut chili sauce is the very best model of the shrimp we’ve ever had, and the brand new Blended Berry Pavlova (pictured on the high of the publish) with crunchy meringue shell, macerated berries, and whipped cream is superb.
Gradual-Roasted Pork Slider (Hawaii)
This slider is served with sweet-and-sour chutney that includes DOLE Pineapple and spicy mayonnaise. It’s made this checklist because the Hawaii sales space was established in 2011.
Regardless of the comparatively small roll, this sandwich comes with a heaping serving to of moist pork, topped with pineapple chutney and a liberal coating of spicy mayonnaise. The gentle zest of the sauce mixes completely with the pineapple, and the meat is at all times completely flavored. This can be a can’t miss!
In case you’ve been to EPCOT’s Meals & Wine Pageant prior to now decade–and even learn protection of the occasion–you’ve tried or heard of this. It’s a fan favourite, and for good purpose. I simply want they’d convey again the SPAM Hash.
Griddled Cheese (Greece)
The enduring Griddled Greek Cheese is again as soon as once more! This makes use of kasseri cheese, which is a standard semi-hard Greek cheese created from sheep and goat milk. Griddling the cheese softens it up, giving it an exterior pores and skin.
The hardened honey provides a sweetness and the bottom pistachios provide additional crunch. The elements coalesce remarkably effectively, and the tip result’s a creamy, nutty, candy, and earthy cheese dish that may be a actually elegant. That is simply certainly one of our all-time favourite dishes of the EPCOT Meals & Wine Pageant.
Feijoada (Brazil)
This dish options crispy pork stomach, black beans, Brazil nut pesto, and lengthy grain white rice. This can be a good one-two punch for us; the bottom provides well-rounded taste with loads of seasoning and nuance.
And naturally, what’s to not love about pork stomach?! This meat is melt-in-your-mouth scrumptious, with the correct amount of fattiness and ideal preparation. Collectively, it’s a well-balanced dish that’s without delay bold and comforting. If Walt Disney World goes to make Meals & Wine menus extra crowd-pleasing, this is strictly the way to do it!
Pickle Milkshake (Brew-Wing)
Don’t let the identify idiot you; that is pretty vanilla. Actually. It’s a vanilla milkshake with dill seasoning plus inexperienced meals coloring. The tip result’s one thing that has an attention-grabbing interaction of candy and creamy, and semi-sour, savory, tart and tangy. Greater than the rest, the Pickle Milkshake is tasty, cooling and refreshing.
I really like this! The ice cream within the shake tastes shockingly prime quality, the portion is sizable, and the value is comparatively affordable. It’s not probably the most ingenious or bold, however it’s a cost-effective ice cream supply automobile. And that issues on scorching days!
It’s price giving a shot, particularly since Brew-Wing is a big indoor sales space with ample A/C and seating. Completely nothing else on the menu is price getting, so it’s both this or strolling over Flavors from Fireplace dishes (additionally beneficial).
