Looking at the recently released Taste of Epcot International Festival of the Arts menu, there are over 30 new food and beverage offerings. From bold flavors to colorful plates, it is definitely a feast worthy of Disney Magic.

While many of the food marketplaces have new menu offerings, one new food studio is a must try. The Vibrante & Vívido Food Studio, located between Morocco & France in World Showcase, entices guests with bold colors and flavors. The dishes available are:

• Chilled Seafood Cocktail with Octopus, Scallops, Shrimp, Black Garlic Aïoli, Tomato-Coconut Sauce, and Serrano-Lime Oil

While the colors draw the eye, the flavor combinations are quite exciting.
