Where to Eat in EPCOT When There’s No Festival
EPCOT is a wonderful park in Disney World known mainly for its wide selection of food and drinks! These are even more plentiful during one of the four EPCOT festivals that happen throughout the year.

But, there are a few gaps during the year when no festival is happening that are typically called the “off season.” These times can seem like bad times to go to the park, but that’s not true!

There are still a ton of food options to choose from, so I made a list to help you out!
Where to Eat in EPCOT When There’s No Festival
All of these spots are going to be quick-service locations so that you can easily grab food on the go, like you would during a Festival in EPCOT! These are going to be items that are more considered snacks instead of full meals, so you can try as many items as possible without getting too full!
World Showcase
Or, just pick which places you want to try and grab those items to make a full day of eating. Let’s get started!
Mexico
Starting out in Mexico, I’d suggest heading over to Choza de Margarita! This might seem like your typical margarita stand, but they actually have some great snack options.
Choza de Margarita
My recommendation is the Empanada de Barbacoa. These are empanadas filled with barbacoa beef, topped with chipotle sauce, crema Mexicana, and queso fresco served with a side of corn esquites for $13.50.
Norway
Moving on to Norway, the only spot to really grab food here to go is Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe. This spot has a bunch of traditional Norwegian sweets!
My suggestion is the Norwegian Kringla, which is a Pretzel-shaped pastry with sweet fondant and chocolate topping for $6.99. This one is also perfect to share with another person!
China
China has a few quick-service spots — you can go to the Joy of Tea kiosk and get the Pork Egg Rolls (which come with two) for $5.95.

Or, head into Lotus Blossom Cafe and grab the Chicken Pot Stickers for $7.35! Both of these options are easy to split with someone else, or keep all to yourself!
Germany
In the Germany Pavilion, head back to Sommerfest for some traditional German cuisine. Grab a pint and a pretzel!
I’d definitely go for the Jumbo Pretzel for $11.99, then add on the House-made Obatzda Cheese Dip Obatzda for $1.50. This is a traditional Bavarian cheese spread that’s rich, creamy, and packed with flavor!
Italy
My favorite spot to get a snack in the Italy Pavilion is at Pizza al Taglio, AKA the pizza window! Get the Pepperoni Pizza Slice with tomato sauce and mozzarella for $9.
However, the pizza window isn’t always open, so if not, head to Gelateria Toscana for a sweet treat! I’d get some Gelati or Sorbetti in a waffle cone for $9.75 and you’ll get a choice of chocolate, vanilla, cookies & cream, mint chocolate chip, strawberry, espresso, or the flavor of the month.
The American Adventure
The American Adventure has a couple of spots to grab some grub. For something easy to share, get the Pretzel Nuggets from Block & Hans. These are pretzel nuggets with garlic butter, BBQ rub, and beer cheese sauce for $8.50.
For an indulgent comfort food item, get the side of Macaroni & Cheese from Regal Eagle Smokehouse for $4.99!
Japan
Kabuki Cafe is where you should go in the Japan Pavilion for a bite! For something sweet and refreshing, get the Kakigori, which is authentic shaved ice with syrup imported from Japan
The flavors include lemon, blue Hawaii, melon, strawberry, and Kyoho grape. A single flavor is $7, two flavors is $7.50, sweet milk topping is $1.50 extra, and rainbow is $8.
Kakigōri Japanese Shaved Ice
Or, for something savory, grab the Spicy Roll! This is spicy tuna, salmon mix, cucumber, and volcano sauce for $6.25.
Morocco
Morocco kind of has a permanent festival booth at Tangierine Cafe. There are different offerings here for each festival, but some items remain the same year-round.
One of those is the Stone-Baked Moroccan Bread! This comes with hummus, chermoula, and zhoug Dips and is plant-based for $5.
France
Let’s move over to the France Pavilion! There are a tonnn of great food options in France, but the best (in my opinion) are inside of Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie in the back of the pavilion.
This bakery is filled with delicious French savory and sweet items, but my top suggestion is the Croissant Jambon Fromage that comes with ham, cheese, and béchamel in a croissant with $6.95.
United Kingdom
The United Kingdom Pavilion doesn’t have a ton of food spots for grab and go, but the one they DO have is delicious, so it’s okay! Yorkshire County Fish Shop sells exactly what you think they do.
Here, you have to get the Beer-battered Fish and Chips for $13.49! Or, if you don’t want basically a full meal, just get a side of chips and drown them in malt vinegar for $4.49.
Canada
Finally, let’s talk about Canada! Unfortunately, the only quick-service spot to get food here really is the Popcorn Cart. They’re serving up some Maple Popcorn for $7.
Instead, I suggest you just go to Refreshment Port right next door and get some Traditional Poutine with French fries, beef gravy, and cheese curds! It’s not technically in Canada, but it is a Canadian dish so it counts in my opinion.
