REVIEW: The Good, The Great, and The Ugly of This Flower & Garden Booth's NEW Menu

Some NEW menu items just arrived at the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival, and of course, we had to stop by to try them out! You may be wondering to yourself, didn’t the Flower & Garden Festival start back on March 5th?

2025 EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival

You would be correct, but some new menu items have arrived at the festival because one of the festival’s booths has a rotating menu featuring ingredients that are currently in season. When the festival first kicked off, the booth had its Early Bloom Menu, and now its Springtime Menu is in the spotlight!

The Farmers Feast Outdoor Kitchen at the 2025 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival debuted a new menu on April 6th, and you know we can’t say no to trying some Disney food! The Springtime Menu is available at Farmers Feast through May 3rd, after which the booth will switch to its Summer Solstice Menu. You can find this booth inside CommuniCore Hall.

Springtime Menu at Farmers Feast

The beverage menu remains the same throughout the festival, so we are just interested in the food today. If you want to learn more about the drinks or the Early Bloom Menu, we have a full review right here! The Springtime Menu features Grilled Peaches and Burrata, Seared Pork Tenderloin, and a Warm Corn Cookie. The Seared Pork Tenderloin is a returning item, while the other two are new. However, we grabbed them all to review for you!

Eats

Let’s start off with the Grilled Peaches and Burrata that you can get for $5.50. The dish also features prosciutto, petite lettuce, micro mint, and sweet tea-lemon gastrique. This dish definitely deserves the top slot on the menu as it is spring in a dish.

Grilled Peaches and Burrata

The peaches were fresh, juicy, and sweet. The burrata was creamy and fluffy. While the prosciutto was salty, it complimented all the other elements of the dish well. The sweet tea lemon sauce added a great sweetness, and the mint was the finishing touch that created an explosion of flavor in this dish. If you want spring flavors, look no further!

Next up, we are trying the Seared Pork Tenderloin with corn risotto featuring Ben’s Original International Grains Arborio Rice and roasted red pepper sauce. You can get this dish for $7.25.

Seared Pork Tenderloin

We thought this dish was delicious. The pork was tender, with some char around the edges, and it tasted great. We also really enjoyed the risotto. It was wonderfully creamy, and the red pepper sauce added a lovely, robust flavor. We would definitely get this dish again!

Finally, we grabbed the Warm Corn Cookie with Sweet Corn Soft-Serve for $5.25. It features brûléed corn, lime zest, and white chocolate. While we were really intrigued by this dessert, it fell flat for us. The corn soft-serve just tasted like vanilla ice cream. It did have pieces of corn in it, but it didn’t add much flavor, just an odd texture.

Warm Corn Cookie with Sweet Corn Soft-Serve

The cookie was also disappointing. It tasted like a sugar cookie from the grocery store with maybe a tad bit of lemon zest. The cookie was also on the crunchier side, which made it hard to eat with the soft-serve. We didn’t taste any lime zest or white chocolate in this dish, so we were overall just very disappointed with it.

OVERALL

We were huge fans of the Grilled Peaches and Burrata, and we think that dish is perfect for the Springtime Menu. It was an explosion of flavor and all the ingredients were fresh and worked well together. We also really enjoyed the Seared Pork Tenderloin. The pork was tender, the risotto was creamy, and it tasted lovely. However, we were very disappointed in the Warm Corn Cookie. It tasted like vanilla ice cream with a crunchy sugar cookie, and we were really hoping for more unique flavors.
