by A review of the best food found at the 2020 EPCOT 2020 Flower & Garden Festival. We cover the drinks, sweets, snacks, and must-have bites!
Booth: Taste Of Marrakesh
Best Item: Fried Cauliflower with Capers
Review: This was one of our FAVORITES! The cauliflower was perfectly crispy and the sauce was definitely spicy. We didn’t expect this to be so hearty and flavorful – something we certainly hope to try again!
Price: $7.00 / 1 Snack Credit
Booth: Pineapple Promenade
Best Item: Mixed Berry Buttermilk Cake
Review: If you’re a pineapple lover and have a sweet tooth, this head over to Pineapple Promenade. They serve Dole Whip here, but we highly recommend the Mixed Berry Buttermilk Cake. It’s not too sweet and very satisfying. The cake itself is pretty standard and nice and soft in the center. But the berry sauce brings it all together.
Price: $5.00 / 1 Snack Credit
Booth: The Citrus Blossom
Best Item: Crispy Citrus Chicken
Review: The chicken is a tad dry, but it works well with the orange aioli. And yes, the flower is edible (we just don’t recommend it).
Price: $5.75 / 1 Snack Credit
Booth: Refreshment Port
Best Item: Fried Green Tomatoes
Review: Refreshment Port is one of our favorite snacking spots in Epcot. However, they don’t really deliver much variety for Flower & Garden. We tried the Fried Green Tomatoes, which are topped with Blue Crab-Fennel Salad, Remoulade, and Smoked Paprika Oil. The crab wasn’t overpowering and tasted great with the fried tomato. If you’re looking for complex flavors, this is the thing to try!
Price: $6.25 / 1 Snack Credit
Booth: Northern Bloom
Best Item: Griddled Maple Pound Cake
Review: The maple-flavored cake is topped with warm peach compote and sweet corn gelato. Strangely enough, the popcorn topping worked AMAZINGLY with this one.
Price: $4.75 / 1 Snack Credit
Booth: Fleur De Lys
Best Item: Tarte aux Oignons Caramélisés et Chèvre
Review: You may not be able to pronounce it, but trust us, you’ll want to eat it. Disney describes this as a “Goat Cheese Tart with Caramelized Onions on a flaky Pastry Crust.” We love a good cheese pastry, and this one did not disappoint.
Price: $5.50 / 1 Snack Credit
Booth: Hanami
Best Item: Frushi
Review: It’s a dessert sushi made of fruit! Instead of seaweed, they use an edible paper (it’s made of soy but doesn’t taste like anything). The fruit is strawberry, pineapple, and cantaloupe and the Frushi is drizzled with berry sauce and coconut. Overall, lightly sweet and very refreshing.
Price: $6.00 / 1 Snack Credit
Booth: Hanami
Best Item: Menchi Katsu Slider
Review: Another tasty snack from Hanami is the Menchi Katsu Slider. It’s a crispy patty of beef with tonkasu sauce and a pickled lotus root (that’s the pink piece on top). It pretty much tasted like a crispy meat slider with a slight Japanese twist. It’s also a great item for a picky eater who may want to try something new.
Price: $6.00 / 1 Snack Credit
Booth: Refreshment Outpost
Best Item: Lobster Tail with Meyer Lemon Emulsion
Review: This lobster tail looked so tasty that we HAD to try it. And it did not disappoint. This is a buttery, slightly citrusy flavor that’s a fantastic price (under $9 for an entire lobster tail or just one snack credit). The meat is also skewered to hell pull it apart. Lobster fans, be sure to pick this one up.
Price: $8.25 / 1 Snack Credit
Booth: Trowel & Trellis
Best Item: Impossible™ Farmhouse Meatball with Lentil Bread
Review: This book is presented by Impossible Foods, so the “meat” is all plant based. Impossible makes some great meatballs that really do taste like meat. We’d describe thisnflavor closer to lamb. The creamy herb dressing was a nice touch to the top of this snack.
Price: $5.75 / 1 Snack Credit
Booth: Primavera Kitchen
Best Item: Zeppole (Fritters)
Review: Did we save the best for last? One of our absolute favorite items are these ricotta cheese fritters! Perfectly golden, crispy on the outside, and creamy on the inside. The chocolate-hazelnut and raspberry drizzle was SOOO delicious. We couldn’t recommend this snack more!
