5 Underrated Epcot Food and Wine dishes that should not be missed

After several weeks of the 2024 Epcot Food and Wine event delighting Disney fans, people are starting to revisit those first bites. While the Macatizers and chicken wings at the Brew-Lab have people going back for seconds, there are some other dishes that deserve a moment to shine.

Several new dishes instantly had and continue to have long lines at those marketplaces. From Mexico’s Tostada de Camarones to the Forest and Field Burrata, these flavors continue to excite.

For guests who are making their second, third, or more stroll around the world, these dishes should be part of the experience. Ready to eat some delicious food?

Pumpkin Mascarpone Ravioli - Forest and Field

While many people make a beeline for the burrata, the Pumpkin Mascarpone Ravioli is a celebration of nutty flavors. From the sage brown butter to the hazelnut praline, those flavors balance the richness of the cheese. On a fall day, it is delightful.

Grilled Bison – Bramblewood Bites

For a hearty option to pair with that Spiced Apple Old Fashioned Inspired Cocktail, the Grilled Bison is a hunter’s feast. The hearty vegetables contrast the fruity huckleberry gastrique. As the weather gets cooler, this dish will be the perfect dinner option.

Curried Chicken and South African Boerewors Sausage – Refreshment Outpost

The African dishes can sometimes be missed during Food and Wine. The Curried Chicken and South African Boerewers Sausage takes a typical bread bowl and amplifies it. With chickpeas and potatoes, it is the dish that feels like a modern comfort food.

Grilled Bushberry Spiced Shrimp Skewer – Australia

Many people go back time and again for the Australian lamp chop, the Grilled Bushberry Spiced Skewer offers a punch of sweet and sour flavors. The coconut chili sauce will have people wishing Disney would share that recipe.

Liquid Nitrogen Frozen Sweet Potato Mousse - Swirled Showcase

While there are plenty of desserts filling the Epcot Food and Wine menu, this option is a little less sweet. Beyond the fun watching the team make the dessert, it is a nice treat mid-afternoon. With the crunch from the pecans and the creamy texture, some people might wish for this option over sweet potato pie at the holidays.

Bonus beverage: Pineapple Chipotle Lemonade – Block and Hans

Although not specifically in a festival marketplace, the Pineapple Chipotle Lemonade captures that swicy food trend in the best possible way. In some ways, it is the beverage that people can recreate at home when they are longing for a taste of that Disney visit.
