Disney4me Posted August 29, 2024 Report Share Posted August 29, 2024 If you are reading this post while hungry, BE WARNED. Seriously, we’re not joking! You’re willing to keep reading? Okay, well then — we’ve got some DELICIOUS details to share with you! Greece booth The 2024 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival has officially begun, and there is a lot to offer. There are plenty of food booths with tasty items, merchandise items to grab (of course), and even concerts to watch. But don’t let it overwhelm you. We’ve got you covered with everything you need to know. And now we’re heading to one spot in particular — the Greece Booth — to give you the FULL scoop! Is it worth a try? Let’s find out! Menu Over at the Greece Booth, you’ll find a variety of available items. There are four menu items available, all of which are returning and one of which is a plant-based option. You’ll also see a NEW cocktail and a classic wine flight option. Greece Booth 2024 Menu Now that we’ve taken a look at the menu, let’s dive into the food itself! Eats First up, we grabbed the Spanakopita, which is a savory pastry with a filling of spinach and cheese. This is priced at $5. In 2022, we LOVED this item because…well…it was full of cheese! The cheese also had a hint of sourness to it that paired really well with the spinach. We tried it again last year, and it just kinda fell flat. So, how did it hold up in 2024? Spanakopita This year, it was AMAZING. It was so flaky and buttery while the inside was creamy and delicious! It was the perfect amount of spinach and cheese. We would totally get it again this year. Now, let’s move on to the Griddled Cheese with pistachios and honey, which is also part of Emile’s Fromage Montage (a.k.a. the Festival’s Cheese Crawl). It is also priced at $5. In 2022, this dish made our Best of the Fest list as a CONTROVERSIAL pick. It is essentially cheese covered with honey and pistachios, and while some members of our team have loved it in the past, it can be a little off-putting for others. Last year, we found the cheese (which was goat cheese, by the way) to be quite rich, which can be good depending on what you like. So, we just had to try it again in 2024 to see if opinions would differ this year. Griddled Cheese with pistachios and honey It was really good this year! The cheese was ooey and gooey, and it mixed really well with the sweetness of the honey and pistachios. Our reporter hasn’t cared for it in the past, but they really enjoyed it this year. Next is the returning Lamb Gyro with shaved lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, and tzatziki on warm flatbread. It is priced at $6.75. This was new in 2022, and it pleasantly surprised us. The lamb was a little tough to eat, but the whole thing was smothered in tzatziki sauce, which made things nice and tangy. Last year, the lamb was much improved in tenderness, but a little light on the tzatziki sauce. So, what did the 2024 version have to offer? Lamb Gyro with shaved lettuce, tomato-cumber relish, and tzatziki on warm flatbread This was really nice! It was super special, but it was really good. The flatbread was nice and fluffy, while the relish and tzatziki added a great balancing acidity and crunch. It won’t knock your socks off, but it’s worth getting if you like gyros. Our last dish (and the only plant-based item on the menu this year) is the returning IMPOSSIBLE Moussaka that you can grab for $5.50. Moussaka is traditionally a sort of Greek lasagna dish made with eggplant and a meat sauce. Last year, we actually REALLY liked this addition to the Festival booth! It was heavy, rich, and felt like a mini meal. IMPOSSIBLE Moussaka It’s a good plant-based option, but it was strangely sweet. We wouldn’t have realized the IMPOSSIBLE meat wasn’t meat if we didn’t know it, so that was good. But we wouldn’t necessarily recommend it to anyone who doesn’t have a dietary restriction. Drinks In terms of drinks on this menu, you can snag the Wine Flight, which comes with small glasses of each of the wines on the menu, which are the Mylonas Winery Assyrtiko White Wine ($6.50 on its own), Skouras ‘Zoe’ Rosé ($6.00 on its own), and the Kir-Yianni Naoussa Xinomavro Dry Red ($6.50 on its own). The wine flight is $7.50. Greece Wine Flight The white wine was really dry while the rosé was more on the sweeter side but still dry. The red wine, was as its described — dry. Overall, this is a DRY wine flight, so if you’re looking for sweet, sugary wines, this is not the flight for you. And now for the NEW item on the menu! The Greek Melon Limenade! Even though Disney World is already decked out for Fall, this cocktail just screams “SUMMER!” It is made with Kleos Mastiha Spirit, Aelred Melon Apéritif de Provence, Pearl Vodka, and lime sour mix, and you can grab it for $11.50 . Greek Melon Limenade This was fantastic. It was really light and refreshing. This is super sweet and juicy. The lime gave it a nice balancing acidity. We would definitely grab this drink again! OVERALL This is a must-try booth! It’s probably not our top booth of the festival, but it does have some really great options that we think people will enjoy.
