We were invited to taste through the new menu at L’Art de la Cuisine Francaise in the France pavilion. These tasty offerings are available at the 2019 Epcot International Festival of the Arts running now through February 25, 2019. We thoroughly enjoyed each item we tried and lingered over our “stay” in France, and highly recommend that you do, too! Order it all!
Start with the Crème de Brie en Petit Pain and revel that every bite of crusty bread will be coated in decadent Brie. We found the generous portion of warm & creamy Brie in a house-made bread bowl enough to share with someone you love. Pair this yummy treat with a glass of the festival frosé, made with rosé wine, Grey Goose vodka & peach puree.
Those with a heartier appetite should order the Dariole de Saumon à la Provencal, a warm salmon terrine with zucchini and tomato, Beurre Blanc Sauce & puff pastry fleuron. Quite an elevated dish, our first bite had us pausing to stop and soak up the French flavors and atmosphere.
To end, the Molten Chocolate Cake made with Pure Origin Valrhona chocolate. Satisfyingly chocolatey, not overly sweet. Bon Appétit!
From France, we walked through world showcase immersed in the celebration of art. We viewed paintings, sculptures, chalk artists and various live performances. Attendees can get in on the fun by snapping photos at one of the many masterwork photo ops or attend an interactive seminar!
Support a variety of talented artists, like Jeremy the owner and creator of Woah Botz, at pop up shops.
We were tempted by the many desserts at Decadent Delights, across from the Port of Entry shop. Still full from our visit to France, we decided to drink dessert and ordered the Cold Fashioned Coffee cocktail- a nicely balanced bourbon & cold brew coffee cocktail. Just the right amount of boozy in this festive adult beverage.
Even the sunset on our visit participated in the artful ambiance, with an extra burst of color.
From there, we enjoyed the evening concert at the Disney on Broadway concert series. New this year, live concerts every night of the week at 5:30, 6:45 & 8:00 pm, featuring a rotating selection of Broadway stars. Head over to our insta stories highlight for more pictures and video, what a show! We left the American Gardens Theater humming our favorite Disney show tunes, perusing the concert schedule for our next visit before the Festival of the Arts wraps up on February 25th.
