We know that trying to eat and drink your way around the festival can get to be expensive, so we’re here to help! I’ve put together a list of how I’d spend $100 at the food booths at the festival with a decent amount of variety so you can stick to a budget and try some fun eats and drinks!
How I’d Spend $100 at EPCOT’s Flower & Garden Festival
First up, I’d visit Farmers Feast inside of CommuniCore Hall and get the new Scallop with Spring Pea Risotto for $8! This features Ben’s Original International Grains Arborio Rice, lemon-beurre blanc, and gremolata.
The scallop and risotto pair really well together, and this item is only available as a part of the Early Bloom Menu until April 5th, so get it while you can!
Next, I’d step outside to the Florida Fresh booth in CommuniCore Plaza. Here, I’d grab the returning Cubanito with mojo-marinated pork belly, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, and stone-ground mustard sauce for $6.75.
I’d also get the Cucumber-Watermelon Slushy with gin for $13. This is a simple cocktail, but it’s absolutely delicious and really refreshing on those hotter EPCOT days!
Then, I’d head on over to the new booth, Yacht Grub, on the walkway between the Imagination! Pavilion and the front of the World Showcase. Here, I’d grab the new Trio of Dips and Chips for $6.50!
It’s caramelized onion dip, whipped feta dip, and pimento cheese with house-made potato chips and caviar. It’s great for sharing, and all of the dips have great flavor!
I’d also get the new Meat Assorti at this booth for $6.75. This has beef bresaola, prosciutto ham, and salami with baby arugula, pickled mustard seeds, tomato jam, truffle oil, and grilled ciabatta. It’s a tasty, savory snack that won’t break the bank!
Moving over near Test Track, you’ll find the BRUNCHCOT booth. Here, I’m grabbing the Fried Cinnamon Roll Bites with cream cheese frosting and candied bacon for $5.25. This is a returning favorite for a reason — they’re absolutely delicious!
Inside the Odyssey Pavilion is The Citrus Blossom, where I’d get the Citrus-baked Brie for $5.50! This has orange-lemon marmalade, limoncello-macerated blueberries, and spiced marcona almond. It’s a really unique dish that combines gooey cheese with fresh citrus flavors.
At Jardin de Fiestas in the Mexico Pavilion, I’m splurging on the new “Giant” Tostada de Carne for $11.50. It’s a Oaxacan tostada with barbacoa beef, guacamole, jícama, pumpkin seeds, and salsa macha. Yes, it’s expensive, but it’s huge, easily shareable, and has some great flavors.
Moving over to the Germany Pavilion, you’ll find Bauernmarkt: Farmer’s Market, where I’d get the Potato Pancakes with house-made applesauce for $5.25! These are plant-based and on the Garden Graze. They’re simple and super tasty!
In the American Adventure Pavilion you can visit the Magnolia Terrace booth! I’m going here to get the Traditional Muffuletta with ham, salami, mortadella, provolone, and Swiss cheese with olive salad for $6.50.
I would also get the Bananas Foster Bread Pudding with a rum-caramel sauce for $5. This dessert is very decadent and very delicious!
Next, I’d move to Tangierine Cafe in the Morocco Pavilion and get the Hard Cider flight for $10.25. This comes with the Keel Farms Pear Honeysuckle Hard Cider, Blake’s Hard Cider Co. Tropical Mango Imperial Hard Cider, and the 3 Daughters Brewing Pomegranate Hard Cider. The cider flights always knock it out of the park at this booth, and this one is no different!
Finally, I’d visit the Fleur de Lys booth in the France Pavilion to get the new Gnocchis Provencal Aux Herbes, Canard Confit, Sauce Romarin for $8.95. This is pulled duck confit, rosemary sauce, and herbs provencal-style gnocchis and it’s delectable!
So, if you add everything up, the total comes to $99.20! We’re just under budget and we’ve got to have some great food and drinks.
