Disney4me Posted July 15, 2021 Report Posted July 15, 2021 Hello from opening day of EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival! International Food and Wine Festival We’re here checking out allll the eats and drinks around the World Showcase! If you like to start your international travels in Canada instead of Mexico, one of the first places you’ll pass by is Refreshment Port, so let’s see what the spot has to offer at this year’s festival! The Food and Wine offerings at Refreshment Port have been trimmed down A LOT this year. There are only THREE items available compared to the eight we had last year. BUT, there are some new items, so we’re more than willing to give them a shot! Menu Refreshment Port is hosted by Boursin Cheese this year, who hosted last year’s Mac and Cheese booth! Refreshment Port Booth The menu has two new items: the Braised Beef Poutine and the Numanthia Termes Tinta de Toro Red Wine. It’s also where you can find the returning Maple Boursin Cheesecake (one of our Best of the Fest items from 2019!)! Refreshment Port Menu If you’re not into those added flavors on top of your poutine, don’t worry! There’s still the Traditional Poutine on the regular menu. Food We started with the Braised Beef Poutine for $9.50. It has French Fries, Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs Cheese Sauce, Cheese Curds, and Gherkin Relish. Cheese sauce on top of cheese curds?! Sign us up! Braised Beef Poutine This was delicious! Ours came with lots of cheese curds and a surprisingly good amount of meat! We found a couple of fatty pieces in our dish, but that’s to be expected. Braised Beef Poutine The relish on top was nice and gave it a little bit of crunch and some extra flavor (no such things as too much flavor!). Now, about that Garlic & Fine Herbs Cheese Sauce — it was really unique and gives the dish a little more creaminess and a softer texture as opposed to just the regular consistency of the cheese curds. You know us, we can’t be mad when a dish comes with added cheese sauce. NEW this year is the Braised Beef Poutine from Refreshment Port! #TasteEPCOT pic.twitter.com/NfEbdDBmpf — AJ Wolfe (@DisneyFoodBlog) July 15, 2021 And, of course, their gravy is delicious as always. The fries got a bit soggy towards the bottom but we didn’t find them to be too greasy! This dish is in good company alongside to the other beef poutines we’ve tried in the past, like the yummy Beef Brisket Poutine and the Beef Bourguinon Poutine from Le Cellier. Braised Beef Poutine If you want to keep your poutine simple, there’s always their Traditional Poutine on the menu for $7.50. Sometimes less is more, and you can’t go wrong with Refreshment Port’s classic dish with French Fries, Boursin Cracked Black Pepper Crumbles, and Cheese Curds. It’s just one of those quintessential Disney World snacks, ya know? Traditional Poutine For dessert, you can grab the Maple Boursin Cheesecake, which is an item that migrated over from last year’s Cheese Studio! It has Whipped Boursin Maple Bourbon Cheese and Candied Pecans for $4.50. Maple Bourbon Boursin Cheesecake If you’re into cheesecake, this dessert takes everything to the next level! The hint of bourbon in the caramel sauce gives it that extra somethin’ that we seriously can’t get enough of, not to mention its decadent and creamy texture always leaves us wanting more! We’re love the Maple Bourbon Boursin Cheesecake! Refreshment Port’s food menu may be small, but it packs a solid one-two punch between the Braised Beef Poutine and the Maple Bourbon Boursin Cheesecake! Beverage There’s only one drink at Refreshment Port this year, the new Numanthia Termes Tinta de Toro Red Wine for $7, along with the returning Playalinda Brewing Co. Luna Lemonade Ale for $9.75.
