The EPCOT Food & Wine Festival is returning on July 27th! There are TONS of new menu items coming to EPCOT this year, plus some returning favorites like the cheese crawl, scavenger hunt, live outdoor concert series, and more.

Now, let’s talk about the FOOD. There are plenty of new and returning options this year, and it can be overwhelming to parse through all those menus. Luckily, we’re here to point out some tried-and-true festival favorites that are returning this year! Based on what we know about some returning EPCOT Food Booths, we can’t wait to be reunited with some of our favorite snacks.

The Fry Basket: Adobo Yuca Fries with Garlic-Cilantro Aïoli

Last year, we LOVED both the Adobo Yuca Fries with Garlic-Cilantro Aïoli at The Fry Basket — we described it as tasting “like Texas toast garlic bread in French fry form.” Oh, yeah, we can’t wait to get our hands on these again.

We also LOVED the Fry Flight with Salt and Malt Vinegar Fries, Barbecued Bacon Fries with Smoked Aïoli, and Sweet Potato Casserole Fries. FRIES for days!

Refreshment Port Hosted by Boursin Cheese: Braised Beef Poutine

In the past, we’ve dreamed about the Braised Beef Poutine days after eating it — that’s how you know it’s a GOOD festival snack. This is one of our favorites and usually makes our MUST list every year.

We also love that this is a sharable snack that could make a quick lunch. SCORE.

India: Curry-Spiced Crispy Cheese with Mango-Curry Ketchup

This item was previously called Crispy Paneer with mango-curry ketchup, but it’s returning this year as Curry-Spiced Crispy Cheese with Mango-Curry Ketchup. It’s basically breaded and fried cheese, so…um…well, yeah, you know how we feel about cheese.

We loved it with the mango-curry ketchup, too, because that just took the flavors up another notch!

Brazil: Feijoada

The Feijoada is Black Beans with Pork Belly, Brazil Nut Pesto and BEN’S ORIGINAL Long Grain White Rice. It blew our MINDS last year with its full flavors.

The pork belly melted in our mouths while the spices just created a flavor bomb in our mouths. This one is a MUST.

Hawaii: SPAM Sushi

The SPAM Sushi with with Sushi Rice, Teriyaki-Glazed SPAM, Spicy Mayonnaise, Eel Sauce and Nori was another HUGE hit with us. This might’ve been one of our favorite snacks last year at the festival!

It tastes incredible, and the SPAM worked so well with a texture reminiscent of fish, but with a meatier flavor.

France: Strawberry Rose Mimosa

We will NEVER not get the Strawberry Rose Mimosa, made with Pol Remy Sparkling Wine, orange juice, and Monin Strawberry Rose Syrup. It’s delicious!

It strikes the perfect balance of sophisticated, yet simple and refreshing.

Germany: Schinkennudeln

The Schinkennudeln is Pasta Gratin with Ham, Onions and Cheese, and yes, it’s as good as it sounds. Not only do you get a good portion size, but it’s so incredibly cheesy!

This is one we will eat EVERY year, so we can’t wait to eat it once more.

The Alps: Warm Raclette Swiss Cheese with Alpine Ham, Baby Potatoes, Cornichons and Baguette

The Warm Raclette Swiss Cheese with Alpine Ham, Baby Potatoes, Cornichons and Baguette was also previously on our list of festival favorites — and for good reason. Hello? Have you been paying attention? CHEESE. We LOVE cheese!

The cheese in this is SO tasty, especially with the ham and potatoes. This is another do-not-miss for us!
