The ONE Thing I’d Get at Every EPCOT Festival of the Arts Booth
The 2025 EPCOT Festival of the Arts is in full swing and there is so much to do! You can check out the awesome artwork, participate in the unique activities, or, of course, eat all the creative food.
There are SO many fun things on the menus at this festival, so it can be kind of difficult to decide what to eat and drink. Luckily, I’m here to help!
I’m breaking down the one item I’d get at every single food booth for the festival. Let’s go!
The One Thing I’d Get at Every EPCOT Festival of the Arts Booth
Opening Bites
Opening Bites is a new booth at this year’s festival and it’s located over in CommuniCore Plaza. There are some exciting dishes, but if I had to choose only one, it would be the new Cheddar and Chive Scone. This is smoked salmon salad topped with crème fraîche and caviar on a cheddar and chive scone for $7.50.
The scone is more like a cheddar biscuit (like the ones from Red Lobster!) and all of the elements just work really well together!
Fictional Victuals
Fictional Victuals in another new booth at this year’s festival with all new items! It’s at the front of the World Showcase.
Here, I’d grab the new Squid Ink Pasta with lump crab, truffle cream, and shaved truffle for $7.75. The crab is finely shredded, there is a lot of truffle flavor, and the pasta sauce is creamy and delicious!
The Deconstructed Dish
The Deconstructed Dish is located over in World Discovery near Refreshment Station and focuses on — you guessed it — deconstructed dishes! At this booth, I’d go for the Deconstructed Key Lime Pie.
This is flexible Key lime curd, “Key lime” mousse, graham cracker cake, and meringues for $6.50. If you like fruity desserts, this is a really fun take on a traditional Key lime pie!
Figment’s Inspiration Station
Figment’s Inspiration Station is located inside The Odyssey pavilion and only has two sweet treats in terms of food on the menu, so I’d go with the Rainbow Beer Flight for $10.25! It features the Green with Envy Blonde Ale, Blue Butterfly Lager, and the new Make All Things Purple Ale, which are all from 81Bay Brewing Co.
These beers are fun to look at and are pretty refreshing.
The Craftsman’s Courtyard
The Craftsman’s Courtyard is over near the Expression Section and has a new item on the menu that would be my first choice here! It’s the Beef Wellington-inspired Croissant Supreme for $8.50.
This has a creamed spinach croissant pinwheel, mushroom-gorgonzola ragout, mustard-grilled flank steak, red wine sauce, and pickled mustard seeds. These flavors are just phenomenal!
El Artista Hambriento
El Artista Hambriento is the Mexico booth for this festival and almost always delivers when it comes to flavor. It’s hard to pick just one thing, but I’d ultimately go with the new Carne Asada.
This is Ancho-marinated beef sirloin with pasilla chile sauce, grilled queso fresco, nopales salad, and chicharron dust for $10.75. The beef is tender, there’s a hint of spice, and you can’t go wrong with some grilled cheese!
The Painted Panda
The Painted Panda is in the China Pavilion and had some new items on the menu this year that we weren’t huge fans of. So, I’d grab the returning General Tso’s Chicken Shumai for $10.75.
These are dumplings filled with chicken, potato, onion, and water chestnut topped with General Tso’s sauce.
Refreshment Outpost
Refreshment Outpost has some festival offerings for each EPCOT festival so I’m including them! There’s just a cookie on the menu in terms of food, so I’d order one of the fun drinks they have here.


Refreshment Outpost
In particular, I’d grab the new Ology Brewing Co. Rainbow Colored Glasses Rainbow Sherbet Berliner for $12. Rainbow Sherbet in beer form? Yes, please!
Pastoral Palate
Speaking of drinks, our next stop is at the Pastoral Palate in the Germany Pavilion. There is some great food here, but I just can’t pass up that A Play on Rosé Flight — it’s TOO good!
It comes with the 3 Daughters Brewing Rosé Hard Cider, 81Bay Brewing Co. Rosé Blonde Ale, and Frozen Rosé for $11.50. Each of these drinks puts their own unique spin on rosé, and they’re all absolutely delicious.
L’Arte di Mangiare
Oh, Italy. This booth disappoints us at almost every single EPCOT festival. If I had to pick one item to order here though, it would be the Mozzarella Fritta.
It is definitely overpriced at $9, but it’s fried cheese, so it is tasty. It also comes with a bunch of different condiments so you can choose your own adventure when it comes to dipping!
The Artist’s Table
The Artist’s Table is located in the American Adventure Pavilion and has some fun new items, but I can’t say no to some deviled eggs, so I’d go with the new Deviled Egg Trio for $6.25! It comes with three different deviled egg flavors — Pimento Cheese, Green Goddess, and BLT.
Are these the best deviled eggs I’ve ever had? Well, I grew up going to church cookouts and football tailgates in the south, so of course not, but they’re still deviled eggs and I can get on board with that!
Goshiki
Moving along to Goshiki in the Japan Pavilion, I’d grab the returning Sushi Donut. For $8.75 you get a donut-shaped sushi roll featuring salmon, tuna, shrimp, cucumber, and sesame seed over a decorated plate of wasabi aïoli, sriracha aïoli, and eel sauce.
This is just a classic sushi roll done right and comes with a lot of fun sauces!
Tangierine Café: Flavors of the Medina
The only new item available at Tangierine Café (which is in the Morocco Pavilion) is a dessert that we weren’t huge fans of, so I’d go with the almost always awesome Drink Flight here! This is usually a flight with three hard ciders, but it has a beer in it for this festival.
It comes with the new Parish Brewing Co. Mango Mochi, Rekorderlig Strawberry-Lime Hard Cider, and the Keel Farms Blueberry Lavender Hard Cider for $10.25.
Vibrante & Vívido: Encanto Cocina
One of the best desserts of the festival can be found over at Vibrante & Vívido: Encanto Cocina, which is located between the Morocco and France Pavilions. It’s the Passion Fruit-filled Mango Cheesecake!
This is passion-fruit filled mango cheesecake with coconut-pineapple cake, dragon fruit gelée, and dragon fruit-strawberry sauce for $5.25. It’s fruity and decadent while still being light somehow!
L’Art de la Cuisine Française
L’Art de la Cuisine Française is in the France Pavilion and is home to many delicious offerings, but ultimately, I’d go with the Crème de Brie en Petit Pain. It’s warm creamy brie in a house-made bread bowl for $9.95.
I mean, it’s hot cheese in a bread bowl, it’s literally incredible and can’t really be beat!
Gourmet Landscapes
Gourmet Landscapes in the Canada Pavilion and has one of my returning favorites, the Wild Mushroom Risotto! This is served with aged parmesan, truffle shavings, and zinfandel reduction for $9.75.
It’s actually a full plant-based dish and the risotto is creamy, hearty, and delicious.
Refreshment Port
There’s only one new food item at Refreshment Port and it’s the one I’d get even if there were other new items here! The Caprese Poutine has Tuscan-spiced French fries, confit tomatoes, slivered garlic, mozzarella pearls, basil pesto, shaved pecorino, and balsamic glaze for $8.50.
As a huge fan of caprese salad, this one is a unique spin on it that’s also very tasty!
Deco Delights
Deco Delights is at the front of the World Showcase and has only one dessert on the food menu, so I’d go with the dessert-themed Drink Flight instead! This flight has the new 3 Daughters Brewing Vanilla Bean Ice Cream Beer, new Keel Farms Strawberry Shortcake Hard Cider, and the new, Left Hand Brewing Company Milk Stout with Coconut.
So, this is basically like a spin on Neapolitan ice cream, but as a beer flight — how fun?! You can get it for $10.25.
Swirled Showcase
Swirled Showcase is also at the front of the World Showcase and is all about desserts. I’m avoiding that new bubblegum soft-serve at all costs, so I’d go with the new Liquid Nitrogen Minnie Cake Pop here!

It’s berry sponge cake, white chocolate ganache, and colorful chocolate splats for $4.75.
Pop Eats!
Finally, we have Pop Eats!, which is right across from Swirled Showcase. They’re famous for their grilled cheese and tomato soup here, which is exactly what I want to order.
I’d go with the Tomato Soup with the pimento cheese, bacon, and fried green tomato grilled cheese for $6.75. This sandwich is amazing and just takes everything to another level when it’s dipped in the soup!
There you have it — those are the one items I’d get at every single food booth for the 2025 EPCOT Festival of the Arts! I hope this makes it a little bit easier for you to decide on what to eat and drink during your visits to the festival.
Stay tuned for more Disney World news and updates!
