Bonjour from France! This Festival Marketplace Food Booth is always a popular stop at the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival!

The 2025 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival has officially opened, and it has a LOT to offer. There are plenty of food booths with tasty items, merchandise items to grab (of course), and even concerts to watch. But don’t let it overwhelm you; we’ve got you covered with everything you need to know. And now we’re heading to one spot in particular — the France Food Booth — to give you the FULL scoop! Is it worth a try? Let’s find out!

Menu

AAAHHH, France! It’s home to two new food dishes this year: Brioche, Escargots, Boeuf Bourguignon, and Crème Brûlée. 

And some tasty drinks: the Instant Becot Bordeaux, and L’Oceade Atlantique Sauvignon Blanc. Fans of the Frozen French Cosmo (previously known as the Parisian Cosmo Slush) can be happy about its return.

Now that we’ve taken a look at the menu, let’s dive into the food itself!

Eats

First up, we grabbed the familiar returner from festivals past,

Let’s dig into the Boeuf Bourguignon, Pommes de terre roties! It presents braised short ribs in a red wine sauce with potato puree. It’s $8.95. Last year, this dish was served with roasted potatoes, a change from the previous year’s presentation with “puffed potatoes.” Yes, they were totally tater tots!

This dish has been a staple at the France Booth for several festivals, and has even earned a spot on our Best of the Fest! So, how does it measure up this year? Well, it may sound unexciting, and it may look ugly — but it’s one of our faves once again. This red wine-braised short rib was falling apart on our fork, and it was pleasant.

The red wine braise was incredibly savory and perfectly complemented the meat. The potatoes were also soft and well-seasoned! The portion was small enough that even though it’s hot, it doesn’t feel like too much on a warm Florida day. At the same time, the portion is a decent filling. This dish is truly a hidden gem, because it’s not as flashy as everything else on the menu, but is well worth trying.

And is it even a French booth entry if there isn’t at least one dish with bread and cheese? Well, buckle up, because this is it! Meet the Brioche aux Epices Avec Une Garniture Mornay de Trois Fromages, a spiced brioche with a three-cheese mornay filling for $8.50. Um…we’re going to say this loud and clear…the brioche is probably the BEST thing we’ve EVER had at the France booth at ANY festival! This is easily a best of the fest item, and could contend for THE best item. The France booth kills it when it comes to bread and cheese.

The brioche was so soft and moist, and easy to pull apart. It had these spices that subtly added to the snack, but they weren’t overpowering. The spices paired perfectly with the three-cheese Mornay sauce! The cheese was warm and gooey, and the sauce was creamy. Disney used cheeses that had a sharp and savory bite to them; the texture was genuinely perfect! As if that wasn’t enough, there are cheese bits at the top that are crispy as if they’ve been torched. THIS WAS LEGENDARY!

In Food & Wine Festival tradition, this booth is serving up a variation of Escargot (yep, snails — but buttery, garlicky snails!). This year’s iteration is Trio d’Escargots, Garniture a l’ail et au Persil. This is a trio of escargot bites in croissant dough served with a garlic-parsley dip for $8.95.

We were disappointed by this! The escargot was good, as well as the garlic sauce. The issue we had with this was the croissant dough, which was extremely chewy. It basically quadrupled the texture of the escargot, rather than balancing it out, and we weren’t fans of that. The sauce and escargot are good, but the pastry ruins it, unfortunately. If you don’t mind a chewy texture, this might still be worth a try — especially if you want to soak up some warm, garlicky flavors.

And now time for something sweet. A classic French treat. Crème Brûlée Vanille, Confiture Myrtilles et Citron Vert. This is a creamy vanilla crème brûlée with blueberry-lime compote for $6.95.

This one is tough because it was good, but it gets ruined FAST by the heat outside. This isn’t something you should be eating in the Florida sun, to be honest. The shell was the perfect thickness and fun to crack open, but the custard quickly gets rocky and loose. The flavors were still there, with a great vanilla and blueberry balance. However, the texture gets a little wonky because of the heat. We did like it, but it’s not our favorite for reasons that are not the dish’s fault. Blame it on the Florida climate, right?

Drinks

In terms of drinks on this menu, there are a few beverages to choose from. Let’s start with the Chilled French Cosmo. This refresher brings together vodka, Grey Goose Le Citron Vodka, Grand Marnier, and cranberry juice and costs $14.95. 

This is the same as always — a fruity drink that tastes like a Cosmopolitan, but with a little more balance. The cranberry is clearly the standout flavor, but it does balance with the other flavors very well. This is dangerous because it’s so drinkable and refreshing!

The L’Oceade Atlantique Sauvignon Blanc is new and is $6.95 for the pour. If you prefer a red, you can also grab the Instant Becot Bordeaux for $7.95. We really enjoyed this wine! It was pretty fruity with a nice peppery bite to it on the back of the palate, as well as nice cherry flavors on the front.

OVERALL

The France booth may not be the best booth, but it’s absolutely a booth you must visit! The brioche alone will bring us back over, and over, and over again. We’re not kidding, France may have the best item you can get at the festival — at least one of the best! Check it out the next time you’re at EPCOT.

That’s it for this booth, but there’s a LOT more where that came from!
