The 2026 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival is now open, and we have some good news — for the first time in FOREVER, there’s an all-new menu at Tangierine Café: Flavors of the Medina!

The 2026 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival has officially opened, and it has a LOT to offer. There are plenty of food booths with tasty items, merchandise items to grab (of course), and even concerts to watch. But don’t let it overwhelm you; we’ve got you covered with everything you need to know. And now we’re heading to Tangierine Café: Flavors of the Medina to give you the FULL scoop! Is it worth a try? Let’s find out!

Menu

New food items are the BIG NEWS at Tangierine Café: Flavors of the Medina! This year you’ll find FOUR new food items and a new hard cider, along with a few returning items.

Now that we’ve taken a look at the menu, let’s dive into the food itself!

Eats

First up, we grabbed the NEW Chermoula Chicken Hummus Bowl with Apricot Chutney and Grilled Shishito Peppers served with Pita for $6.79.

This was incredible! The chicken was flavorful and cooked perfectly with fresh veggies and delicious Shishito Peppers. The apricot chutney added a really great flavor and a nice change of texture. All around, this was amazing!

Also new this year is the Spiced Flank Steak Hummus Bowl with Harissa Yogurt and Roasted Peppers served with Pita for $7.29.

The flavors here were extremely strong, and the veggies were nice and fresh. However, the steak was very tough, and the chickpeas were a bit mushy. So unfortunately, this one is not our favorite, but we could have just gotten a tougher piece of steak, and if the steak were better, we would have really enjoyed this one a lot.

This booth also has a 30th Anniversary Legacy Item that’s been reimagined for 2026, and that’s the plant-based Ras el Hanout Cauliflower Bowl with Chickpea Salad, Golden Raisin Relish, and Parsley served with Pita for $6.49. The cauliflower was seasoned perfectly, and while the golden raisin relish was very interesting, it did not add much to the flavor overall. In general, this bowl was not very unique but an amazing, yummy option if you are looking for something plant-based!

A returning savory item this year is the plant-based Moroccan Wrap with tomato-cucumber relish and garlic sauce served on warm Moroccan flatbread for $6.29. This was a new addition in 2025, and we enjoyed it last year.

And finally, you can wrap up your meal with a sweet treat — the new Chocolate-Pistachio Cookie for $4.29. This was basically a Dubai chocolate bar in cookie form.

This center had a crunchy pistachio cream, and it was salty and nutty, giving an amazing contrast against the sweet chocolate cookie. The cookie itself was soft, and the pistachio pieces added a nice crunch while the strong pistachio flavor came from the filling. This is a MUST-try if you love pistachio, but a word of warning: it is quite messy, so grab some napkins.

Drinks

The Fig Cocktail is returning again this year for $12. This drink is made with Kleiner Feigling Fig Liqueur and white cranberry juice. In the past, we’ve found this drink to be a bit sweet, but very refreshing and easy to drink. The alcohol flavor is not super strong, and if you love fig and herbal flavors, you should give this a try. But if you’re looking for a fruity drink, you won’t find that here.

A hard cider flight is on the menu once again this year for $12.75 and features the following ciders:

• NEW! Carib Brewery Honey & Fig Dream Hard Cider
  • This was very sweet, with a slight medicinal taste
• Keel Farms Golden Apple Chai Hard Cider
  • This was a crisp apple flavor, with a cinnamon spice finish, and was very tasty
• Keel Farms Goji Berry Citrus Hard Cider
  • This was a light berry flavor with some notes of spice, but very light and tasty

OVERALL

Overall, while we are excited to see Disney bringing more options to this booth, we still don’t think it is a must-stop location while you’re visiting Food & Wine. All of the bowls were pretty good but nothing super unique, but if you’re looking for a bowl that will be good and filling while walking around World Showcase, it is a great option for that. We would just recommend more unique options otherwise.

The one item that makes this stop really worth a visit is that Chocolate-Pistachio Cookie. If you love pistachios or just a really good cookie, then you should definitely be making a stop here to grab this treat. That’s it for this booth, but there’s still a LOT more to try!
