DON’T SKIP These Returning Eats at the 2023 EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival

We’ve got some exciting festival news!

Flower and Garden Festival

The 2023 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival is right around the corner — and we now know the full menus of all the food booths! The 2022 Festival brought us some amazing food and drinks that ended up on our Best of the Fest list, and a few of our favorites are returning. Come take a look at some of the food we can’t WAIT to have again.

BRUNCHCOT

This year, the Flower & Garden Festival is getting a brand new booth — BRUNCHCOT. This booth is taking the place of last year’s Sunshine Griddle, which won our best BOOTH of the 2022 Festival. Fortunately, some of the best options are returning, like the Shrimp and Grits.

Shrimp and Grits

These were surprisingly flavorful! They are made with blackened shrimp and cheddar cheese grits with brown gravy and sweet corn salsa.

Also returning this year is the Avocado Toast, a plant-based option with a ton of flavor.

Avocado Toast with marinated toybox tomatoes on toasted ciabatta

This Avocado Toast with marinated toybox tomatoes on toasted ciabatta wasn’t just tasty, it was BEAUTIFUL, and we can’t wait to get this one again.

For something sweet, you can’t miss these Fried Cinnamon Roll Bites.

Fried Cinnamon Roll Bites with cream cheese frosting and candied bacon

They are topped with cream cheese frosting and candied bacon were deliciously sweet with a gooey cinnamon center and we loved them.

Northern Bloom

At Northern Bloom, the booth in the Canada Pavilion, another one of our favorites is returning — the Seared Scallops.

Seared Scallops

These scallops are served with French green beans, butter potatoes, brown butter vinaigrette, and Nueske’s Applewood-smoked Bacon, and the dish is gluten-free. When we’ve had these in the past, the scallops were perfectly cooked and DELICIOUS.

Fleur de Lys

In the France Pavilion, Fleur de Lys is bringing back their amazing Beignet Caramélisé, Fourré Crème Vanille, Glacé au Caramel Fleur de Sel.

Caramelized Beignet filled with Vanilla Cream and Glazed with Caramel Fleur de Sel

This is a caramelized beignet filled with vanilla cream and glazed with caramel fleur de sel — basically, a tasty, sweet, fried dough treat that we’ll be sure to get again. It was thick and airy at the same time with the perfect crystallized caramel glaze on top.

The Citrus Blossom

Another favorite returning to this year’s fest is the Orange-Lemon Smoothie in a Souvenir Orange Bird Sipper Cup, available at The Citrus Blossom.

Orange Bird Sipper and Orange Lemon Smoothie 2022

This non-alcoholic smoothie was delicious on its own — but you also get an adorable Orange Bird Sipper to go with it (note that this year’s Orange Bird sipper looks a little different from the 2022 version)!

Bauernmarkt: Farmers Market

Over in the Germany Pavilion, Bauernmarkt is bringing back their tasty Stiegl Brewery Raspberry Radler.

Beer Flight

We thought this was a light and fruity brew that was perfect for a sunny Florida day.

Refreshment Outpost

While it was at Refreshment Port last year, the Lavender Martini is returning — just at Refreshment Outpost!

Lavender Martini

This is a delicious cocktail made with Boyd & Blair Potato Vodka, Lavender, and Lemon. It was a nice floral cocktail that was perfect for Florida day in the spring!

Pineapple Promenade

Over at Pineapple Promenade, the Frozen Desert Violet Lemonade is returning!

Frozen Desert Violet Lemonade

This non-alcoholic lemonade has made our best of the fest list multiple years, so you know we’re excited it’ll be back this year. It’s another floral beverage that was made for this festival.

La Isla Fresca

Lastly, don’t miss this perfect dessert at La Isla Fresca. The Coconut Tres Leches is a Vanilla cake soaked in oat milk, almond milk, and coconut milk with toasted coconut.

Coconut Tres Leches

This is a PLANT-BASED Tres Leches and it was SO GOOD. If you like coconut, so have to try it!
