My family loves attending the Food and Wine Festival at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida every year. We just love trying the new foods and wines available here. And having our favorites each year. It is a wonderful way to try new cuisines from around the world. We love the individual global marketplaces throughout the park with specific themes. Today we are going to focus on one of our favorites, France.
You can find the France booth in the France Pavilion of the World Showcase at the back of the park (or the front of the park, if you are entering from the World Showcase entrance to Epcot). We have always enjoyed France whenever we visit the Food and Wine Festival, and this year was no exception.
We want to tell you about what you can expect from the menu this year. Then we’ll tell you about a few standouts from this menu.
Menu
Drinks
One of the reasons you’ll often find a very long line at the France marketplace is the great drinks you can get here.

The France global marketplace has an equally impressive food menu:

- Spiced Brioche with a Three-Cheese Mornay Filling
- Trio d’Escargots, Garniture a l’ail et au Persil – $8.95
- Trio of Escargot Bites in Croissant Dough served with a Garlic-Parsley Dip
- Boeuf Bourguignon, Purée de Pommes de Terre – $8.95
- Red Wine-braised Short Ribs with Potato Purée
- Crème Brûlée Vanille, Confiture Myrtilles et Citron Vert – $6.95
- Vanilla Crème Brûlée with Blueberry-Lime Compote
Our Favorite Dishes
Our favorite dish from this booth was the Boeuf Bourguignon.
The beef was so tender that you didn’t need a knife. The beef was great, but that wasn’t all that was great. So were the mushrooms and potatoes. All of it had great flavor and was very soft. It just worked really well together as a dish.
Another dish that was a hit with our family was the Trio d’Escargots, Garniture a l’ail et au Persil.
I loved everything about this dish. The escargot itself was delicious. It tasted great with the croissant dough. And the dip was sensational. It really added to the dish.
The only negative I would say here is that it is not particularly filling. So if you want this dish for a meal for lunch or dinner, unless you are not very hungry, you’ll need to eat something else with it. It is really more like a snack.
Food & Wine Festival Tickets
Unlike Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party, the Food & Wine Festival at Disney World is not a separate ticket event. That means that it is included in the price of admission.
