I highly recommend the salmon and beef tips from Northern Bloom in Canada. Both dishes were incredible with great flavors and the portions were worth the price. Pro tip - take your food up into the Canada pavilion and sit by the waterfall in the back!
Pros:
Excellent quality food & good portions.Cons:
The price of alcoholic drinks are too high for the amount you get.Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 03/24/2021

I really enjoyed the 2019 festival and it's offerings. Particularly good were the scallops in Canada, the goat cheese tart in France, the pizza in Italy,the red green tomatoes and blue crab at the Arbor and especially the lobster tail at The Citrus Blossom. Best drinks were the Italian Lemoncello Margarita, the French Kir Framboise, the Moroccan Desert Rose and the UK English Rose.
Pros:
Nice food and drink selection this year. Last year's festival winners were the desserts.Cons:
Too many good things to choose from!Reviewed by survivoramy Review Date: 10/01/2018

We had to try the non-alchohol slushes when we were last there for this event. The Violet lemonade one was the must have from my oldest and promptly was posted on her Instagram. I wasn't in love with it though so I got a Cucumber Melon one at another stand and even she agreed that she liked it much better (that went on her Instagram as well.) There were many others to try and all kinds of food offerings. My kids are under 21 so we did not try any of the alcoholic offerings. Everything is small portions and it does add up to try a bit of this and that.
Pros:
Such yummy fresh flavors!Cons:
Can't afford to try it all. Some will want a much larger portion for the price.Reviewed by Disneynerd5 Review Date: 09/29/2018

I am a fan of the Food and Wine Festival so when the Flower and Garden Festival began offering food booths, I was thrilled. This year's Festival winners, in my book were: the onion tart and Kir Pomegranate in France, sparkling Key Lime wine,
Bush Berry shrimp from Australia, warm fruit buckle with pepperberry gelato and the Limoncello margarita in Italy. I was disappointed with the spicy chicken lettuce leaves in China. The chicken was rather dry. I think the pineapple whip with rum was the most overpriced item. For $10.25, it was a $4.75 cup of pineapple whip with a shot of rum. I think an $8 would have been fair. Granted, it was tasty!!
I was happy to see three concerts with Peter Noone and Herman's Hermits on three different days and he varied each show which was nice. I thought many of the flower and topiary exhibits were dull (color-wise) this year but the topiaries in front of Spaceship Earth were delightful. All in all, it was a fun festival.

We had a wonderful time dining around the world showcase. It is so fun to try new foods and explore the world showcase pavilions. We enjoyed most of the foods we sampled, but felt that they were overpriced for the serving size.

My wife & I experienced the F&W fest on our first trip to Disney back in '99. We've been lucky enough to get back a few times since and it seems this event just gets better & better. The food and wine, the music, the presentations. Something for everyone.
Now we're back with our 14 yr old twins and the family loves the idea of purchasing smaller plates that we can all share. If we find something one of us really enjoys, we grab another little taste.
We were in Epcot on 4/3/15 and we came with some friends who now live in the area with their two daughters. We had carne asada tacos from the Mexico booth. We always go to the China booth to get those candied strawberries. We loved the chicken buns and spring rolls they had this year. I think we went back to get 2 extra orders of those buns. Delish! Manicotti from the Italy booth, burnt ends hash from one of the bbq booths. Everything was excellent.
Food, wine, music, family & Disney. Does life get any better? I only wish we could go every year.
Pros:
Variety of foods; tapas sized servingsCons:

I tried at least one item from almost every booth, with the exception of Morocco. Disappointed to find out that the booths do not stay open for Evening Extra Magic Hours but was able to come back another day to finish eating!
Ghost Pepper Tilapia was very good but definitely spicy. I liked the Sweet Potato Cinnamon Waffle with Pineapple Dole Whip. Loved the non-alchololic Frozen Desert Violet Lemonade (a return from last year) and the Watermelon Passion Fruit Slush (previously alcoholic). The Pineapple Dream Sake slush from Japan was very good as well. Appreciated the return of the Pulled Pig Slider at USA.
Did not care so much for the Bubble Tea, the Watermelon Salad, or the Salmon Tartare from UK (though the actual cheddar and potato biscuit was heavenly).
Items that were just so-so were from booths in Mexico, Italy, and France.
I'm glad that F&GF serves food now; it's like a mini Food & Wine Festival for those of us who can't make it down to WDW during the fall.
