A Feast of Freshness: The 2020 Epcot Flower and Garden Menus are Here!

You want to know why we love Epcot’s festivals? …Yes, we love the celebrations of art, culture, and nature from around the world but honestly? It’s the food.

Seriously, Food and Wine just cuts out the middleman.

That’s why we’re so excited to share the upcoming menus for the 2020 Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival, featuring the freshest eats around! Let’s take a look at this year’s selection of Outdoor Kitchens!

Every festival has a culinary theme. Food and Wine is gourmet cuisine and international delicacies, Festival of the Arts is food that is just as aesthetically pleasing as it is delicious, and Festival of the Holidays is… well, holiday food. But Flower and Garden? It’s all about that fresh. Freshly grown ingredients transformed into some of the most incredible food you’ll taste at Disney World. Each of the 16 Outdoor Kitchens takes this theme and runs with it, producing food and drink that is sure to delight.

Citrus Blossom

Lemon, orange, and lime are Florida staples, which is why this charming stand puts such an emphasis on the tangy flavors of citrus!
