Any time Disney World holds a food festival, we SHOW UP for bread bowls and macarons!
There’s just something so comforting and alluring about French food that really stands out in a crowd, and now that we’re stopping in at the France booth for EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, we’re craving that creamy brie!
Menu
No matter the EPCOT fest, the France booth (It’s L’Art de la Cuisine Francaise aka “The Art of French Cuisine” at Festival of the Arts) tends to be a SMASH HIT with our taste buds! Let’s take a look at that menu.
Time to EAT.

Eats
This spot has the returning favorite of the Crème de Brie en Petit Pain, Warm Creamy Brie in a House-made Bread Bowl for $8. We’ll never say no to delish melted cheese in a bowl!
This option has made our best of the fest list over and over again.

This eat is savory truffle, so don’t expect sweet. It pretty much tastes like straight truffle and French bread. Our reporter loves truffle, so it was a good fit for her, but if you’re not into those flavors it could be a not-so-great bite. It’s got a LOT of very flavorful filling that honestly surprised us! Careful — some folks might think that consistency is a little weird.
New this year on the dessert side is the Moelleux à la Framboise et aux Chocolats Valrhona, a Molten Chocolate and Raspberry Cake with Pure Origin Valrhona Chocolates for $7.75.
This cake is SUPER rich and very good! Chocolate lovers are in for a treat. If you’re not into SUPER rich desserts, you might want to skip it — but the raspberry sauce does help to cut the richness!
The $9.50 Trio de Macarons made our best of the fest last year and we’re trying them again to see what this Assortment of 3 House-made Macarons in a Gift Box is this year! 2021 flavors include Chocolate Passion, Cappuccino, and Strawberry Lime.
We liked the Cappuccino the best of the three but they were all super yummy! This dessert is always fun, especially since you can take it with you in the cute little box.
Drinks
On to the drinks! This booth does have another returning best-of-the-fest-er, the Frozen French Martini for $14.50 (this thing tastes like LIQUID SMARTIES) AND a returning bubbly wine, the Charles Lafite, Brut Méthode Traditionnelle Champenoise, French Sparkling Wine for $8.
There are two new wines that we’re sipping this year. First up is the Château La Gordonne, Vérité du Terroir, Côtes de Provence Rosé for $9.25. This is a very good dry rosé. It’s a great fit for those who don’t like sweet wine!
For red drinkers, there’s the Bordeaux Merlot and Cabernet Blend, Baron des Chartrons, 2015 for $8.75. This blend is on the dry side — but it’s not SUPER dry either. We loved it!
We can’t say we’re shocked, but L’Art de la Cuisine Francaise WOWED us again! Could it be a contender for best booth of the fest? You’ll have to wait and see! In the meantime, you can join us as we eat our way around EPCOT Festival of the Arts today. Stay tuned for alllllll the booth reviews!
