Where to Get the Most Colorful Poutine at the 2025 EPCOT Festival of the Arts
Greetings, fellow creatives!
It’s the first day of the 2025 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, and our MickeyBlog reporters are having the most magical time soaking up all this culture and creation!
Refreshment Port
Of course, it’s always the food that takes a starring role at any EPCOT event, and the annual Festival of the Arts is consistently known for dishing up all kinds of unique fusions and flavor twists. Right now, our reporters are over by Refreshment Port, where a tantalizing new take on a familiar favorite sure has left our tastebuds tingling.
Refreshment Port can be found just near the Canada pavilion in the EPCOT World Showcase — come with us, and let’s check it out!
Food
The starring new item on this year’s Refreshment Port menu is the Caprese Poutine.
This comforting dish takes Tuscan-spiced French fries and mixes them with confit tomatoes, slivered garlic, and mozzarella pearls.
All of this is smothered in a bright basil pesto and rich balsamic glaze, and topped with shaved pecorino. It cost $8.50, and of course, we had to place an order!
We’ve all tried the classic, Canadian-inspired poutine, but this European twist on the dish is serving all kinds of Italian flair!
We absolutely couldn’t wait to give it a try here at the festival today.
We’re happy to share that our reporters absolutely loved this poutine, which looked so colorful and tempting at the festival!
The fries were well-seasoned, the tomatoes were bursting with flavor, and the two different types of cheese were delicious.
That pesto, in particular, was so flavorsome and tasty, and all of the ingredients worked together to make the most enjoyable poutine concoction!
The second item on the menu here at Refreshment Port is a returning favorite — of course, it’s the classic Artist Palette Jumbo Chocolate Chip Cookie.
Always a firm favorite among guests (and on our Instagram feeds,) this artsy snack costs $5.75.
We didn’t order this treat this year, but here’s a photo of the cookie from last year’s Festival of the Arts:
Drinks
If you’re looking for something to wash down your fries and cookies, there are two alcoholic drinks available at the Refreshment Port bar.
First is an Italian Pilsner from 81Bay Brewing Co., which is new to the festival for 2025.
Second, we’ve got a Blood Orange Cosmo from Boyd & Blair.
So Much to Savor!
