Refreshment Port

Refreshment Port at EPCOT is a great spot to try the traditional poutines, which are a highlight on their menu. The fries topped with gravy and cheese curds are flavorful and filling, making it a fun and different snack to enjoy in the park. We had them while listening to a live rock show, and the combination of good food and lively atmosphere made it a very enjoyable stop.

I really enjoy this nonalcoholic, fruity, small lemonade slush as a special drink during the food and wine festival. I wish to bring an insulated water bottle. I also really enjoy a scrumptious snack at a stand closer to the restrooms during the festival. 💦

I had the traditional poutine the gravy with the fries and the cheese was excellent. I need to get the receipt for the gravy. The only thing the line to get the food was long. I believe because it was popular. I recommend to try it you won’t go wrong.

This place deserves seats in the shade. Their poutines are good but way too salty. They certainly don't beat those of Quebec but they still remind us of a part of our beautiful province.

The Refreshment Port is a small stop on the way towards Canada in the World Showcase, turn right coming from Future World. It’s open year round, and the traditional poutine is a hit for native Canadians and Americans alike. Lots of gravy, cheese curds and fries, order an extra plain fries for the kids and have extra fries to dip in the extra gravy. One order is enough to share for a snack or eat by your self for a small meal. My favorite is to order during one of the festivals to eat as a side. When we there last week, the end of May, they had premade cups of ice water and let you take as many as you needed for yourself or the family. The service is always quick. Recommend 10/10

We tried the braised beef poutine that is available now during the Food & Wine festival and were not disappointed. It was very flavorful, tangy and filling.

The poutine was delicious! I would say it’s up there with some other places I’ve had poutine at. Portion size is good and reasonably priced.

First time ever having poutine which is gravy on french fries with cheese curds. Super awesome, highly recommend you try it out. Food at Epcot is the best compared to the other three parks. You won’t regret trying this out. If management reads these it would’ve been nice if they would’ve had salt at this location.

The Provence Poutine is incredible, and definitely a must-try item at this year's Flower and Garden Festival. The Refreshment Port is a year-round stand at Epcot, but the menu items rotate seasonally depending on which festival is happening. They do always have Traditional Poutine available if that is what you're looking for. The stand itself is unassuming, and you may miss it if you are not looking for it. It is located right between the Swirled Showcase ice cream stand and the Canada pavilion. The service is good, and they keep the line moving. The Province Poutine comes with herbes de provence seasoned french fries, goat brie, lavender honey, hazelnut croquant, and fresh lavender. I would have never thought of making anything like this, but it was wonderful! The flavors work so well together, and the creamy brie pairs excellently with the crispy warm french fries and sweet honey.

Delicious Poutine!! The fries were cooked to perfection and everything all together was just good! I'm not a fan of beef, but the gravy was good. I do wish there was a little bit more curds, but other than that, this was a great little snack! Cider was refreshing too.

THE POUTINE! That's all I can say! The poutine is great. The star of the show is that delicious and flavorful beef gravy! Truly the best beef gravy I've ever had. Sure, it's a bit on the salty side. But with the not very salty fries and cheese curds, a bite of everything was perfectly savory and oh so addicting. They also had Shrimp Scampi poutine the day I came. It was also good, but between the two, the traditional poutine is where it's at. I'd totally recommend the poutine as a little snack!

I went to Refreshment Port during the Epcot International Festival of The Arts that continues through February 19th. There was a long line around noon with everyone waiting for a festival food. I got the Traditional Poutine and when I ordered they called the chef to ensure it was gluten free since the foods can change slightly from day to day. It was a little saltier than I normally like but a fun food to try!

I ordered the Gnocchi Poutine with Red Wine-braised Beef, Cheese Curds, Basil, and Burrata. This was a Festival of the Arts Food Offering in February. It tasted okay, but it sounded a lot better than it actually was.

Part of the tradition for Epcot International Festival of the Arts is getting the frangipane cake from Pop Eats. I don't remember the cake being this dense, but it was also recently cut and it thawed. It is not overly sweet, but definitely filling.

Didn't expect to find poutine in Disney World so that was a pleasant surprise. They don't sell too much here but the poutine was a nice snack. Haven't had much poutine in my life but the curds were squeaky so I'll give them that much!

Stopped by here to get some Sprite and poutine !! So good and fresh! service was quick and friendly! portion was good for the price considering this was in the park. I'm happy we got to try it even though we weren't in actual Canada this was a close second!

Refreshment Port is located near Canada and you just have to stop here and try the Poutine - it's out of this world!! We went with the Braised Beef option over the traditional... This came with French Fries, Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs Cheese Sauce, Cheese Curds and Gherkin Relish. SO GOOD! We devoured them within minutes and the price was also pretty good for the portion. This was a filling "small plate." To go with our Poutine we grabbed a mango martini and a bottle of water and enjoyed the snack overlooking the water just nearby. I want to try their Maple Cheesecake next time!

You absolutely must stop here! It's located near the Canada area. We had the traditional poutine and it was amazing. It's big enough for 2 people to share. It was the best snack we had while at Epcot.

Delicious poutine. I had the coffee-ribbed pork poutine, and I enjoy it. It was pricey, but good. If you haven't tried Canadian poutine with beef gravy and cheese curd like me, and you don't know where you'd have the opportunity to try it, this is a good place. They also serve good Bloody Mary's too!

Beef brisket poutine!!!! You will not be sorry for poutine-ing these yummy fries topped in tasty beer cheese sauce, savory brisket and poutine gravy and crispy onions in your belly!!! This is one of the best things I ate during my trip to Disney. It's such a large portion that you can share or keep it all to yourself and then it's a meal! Refreshment port also has basic poutine with gravy and cheese curds, dole whip and more! Don't forget you can get free iced water - just ask!

You can count on the Refreshment Port to to have the latest treats you can find in Disney! I'm pretty sure they rotate items on the menu depending on what's trending. I wanted to try the Peter Pan Float because I am a fan of the Dole Whip, and it was amazing! It is lime Dole whip with sprite soda topped with a chocolate feather. The Minnie Mouse sundae was yummy as well. Vanilla ice cream topped with whipped cream and a chocolate bow and the 2 ears are the cookie dough. To me, I can live without the sundae. It is very sweet in my opinion, but if you want something refreshing, definitely give the float a try!

During my tour of the World Showcase I stopped here when I got to the Canada Pavilion. I normally eat at Le Cellier Steakhouse with my friends. However that requires a reservation and is quite pricey. I must say that inexpensive food options were quite lacking, until I came across this place where they had poutine. The beef brisket poutine was a good item to finish out the tour of the World Showcase.

Yay Epcot Food and Wine Festival! Yay for having the Dole Whip without having to go all the way to Hawaii! While I would have preferred to have it in a waffle cone--because honestly, what ISN'T better in a waffle cone?--the cup it came in was just fine and helped contain all that pineappley goodness as I greedily lapped it up while walking forth into great Canada. The icing on the whip as it were, was the great customer service the staff here provided. I always feel better about the grip Uncle Walt has on my wallet when his underlings smile and banter about as they do it!

The signature poutine is so overrated. So is the cheddar bacon soup everyone raves about. I'm not a traditionalist so I don't mind variations on poutine, but if you're going to include the requisite cheese curds, they also need to do the requisite melting. Mine were practically frozen. No stringy melt-y goodness whatsoever. It didn't help that the soup wasn't warm enough even if the curds weren't so cold to start with. And yeah, overrated. I knew there were onions but I assumed it would be something mild yet flavorful like French onions (Le Cellier does have a French onion poutine so it was a reasonable expectation.) Alas, it was big pieces of green onion. On the plus side, they were easy for me to avoid (I can't eat onion, aside from small bits of brown onion.) However, I hate the flavor of green onion, and green onion is all I could taste. It absolutely overwhelmed the cheddar and the bacon. The fries themselves were nice and crispy.

So I saw Canada, and I was like hello poutine fries! So I hopped and line, and saw that they had duck... and I had never tried that before but was feeling a bit adventures, and WOAH I was no disappointed. The Duck is almost like a delicious pulled pork (although I was kinda feeling guilty, thinking about Donald Duck) and the gravy, cheese and fries simply melted in my mouth. Talk about no leftovers!

I remember back in the day when this used to be a "McDonald's". It was the middle of July- we were used to the humidity, fading fast, and this was the closest things. A quick meal of fries and cheeseburgers did the trick. Food here now is of Instagram quality, and the prices reflect that unfortunately. What happened to just the simple things?

Poutine, lobster chips and a Bloody Mary with your choice of toppings sticking out! I got bacon and a chicken tender lol! My girlfriend got shrimp, celery, and a fat olive!

The signature poutine is overrated and shockingly bad. The cheddar bacon soup is INSANELY salty and inedible. The croissant donut? Gooey, mushy, and bland. I did a lot of research before coming to Disneyworld and many blogs and reviews said to go here for snacks. I ordered everything that they told me to order and was severely disappointed. The only thing that was okay were their chicken nuggets but how bad could you possibly mess up chicken nuggets? Don't come here for snacks. They were all so bad we had to throw them away.

If you're heading into The World Showcase from Future World, you'll find the Refreshment Port on the right just before you get to Canada. They don't offer up a lot lot here at this small quick service window. Mainly what you'll find is soft serve ice cream (which you can get in a waffle cone), the infamous cronut, coffee, hot cocoa, and an assortment of fountain soft drinks. I'm sorry, but I wasn't impressed with Disney's version of the cronut at all. I won't be getting another one. There's way too much other good (better) food to found in The World Showcase. Granted, I've only ever had a cronut from one other place (in Jacksonville), but Disney's version didn't even begin to meet my expectations compared to the other I have had. But, if you absolutely must have the cronut, go for it. You can even get it with soft serve on top. I mainly stop here to grab hot cocoa during the winter when I'm heading into the World Showcase, or to grab free cups of ice during the summer for canned soda I've brought into the Park with me.

This is one of many quick-service stands at Disney World's Epcot. It is located in the world showcase and is tucked away to the side near the Canadian pavilion. The refreshment port sells a handful of things, it's very few so don't expect many options when you look. They sell poutine and beef brisket poutine where they put beef brisket on the protein they normally sell. That is a couple dollars extra but it is phenomenal. Right now they have a Bloody Mary that is garnished with a stuffed green olive, celery and a shrimp. It is a little pricey for what you get because most of it is basically ice so I would tell you to avoid it. They also have another drink which is a fruity drink mixed with vodka and it is Heavenly. I cannot recommend this one enough I wish I could remember the name of it! The poutine they sell is huge for the price that you pay which I believe is roughly $9. You can definitely bet that I will be buying that again the next time I am at this kiosk!

Food wise, best quick bite snack ever! Our cronut and poutine were absolutely phenomenal and delicious. Thinking about the cronut and poutine is making me hungry again. The cronut was warm and topped with delicious icing while our poutine had the perfect balance of cheese and fries. I definitely hope to come back again. Refreshment Port also offers additional food options such as the Bloody Mary, coffee, and some soups as well, however, I still recommend the cronut and poutine as they were absolutely incredible. The reason that refreshment port is shy one star is because of the lack of space to consume such delicious foods as well as the messy tables containing silverware and napkins. Overall, I recommend a visit!

The Refreshment Port is a small "blink and you'll miss it" building with simple counter service. When you're walking towards World Showcase Lagoon from the entrance of the park you'll see it on the right before you hit Canada. There are no tables set up. You just grab your food and keep on trucking. It has the standard theme park food you'd expect including breaded chicken fingers, vanilla cones, cronuts, ........ wait what? Yes cronuts. They're called "croissant doughnuts" here and boy are they worth hunting down. I've never had a "real" cronut in New York City so I can't compare the one I had here to that one, but I was really happy with what I got. From the outside it just looks like a doughnut, but when you bite into it the difference is immediately apparent. The inside was layered, flaky, and delicious. The cinnamon added on top was a great touch. It's not exactly a newsflash that something at Disney is expensive. One cronut set me back five dollars. I thought it was well worth the money and I'll gladly do it again next trip. Apparently this item was NOT added for the Flower and Garden Festival, which is when I tried it. Hopefully that is true and I'll be able to keep enjoying these treats from the Refreshment Port.

I'd love to know how this compares to the famous New Yorkan 'cronut' that people wait hours for! Typically a cronut is a croissant and donut deep fried with cinnamon and sugar...Since I'm not much of a connoisseur or a fan of the deep fried world, I can't tell you with full on certainty that this isn't worth a try for you. So this was my second experience trying the ever so famous croissant/donut hybrid. This experience was faaaaaaaaar better than the first so in all fairness it is deserving of the 3 stars. i don't particularly care for 'deep fried' therefore I am not fond of the concept. The cronut in general tends to be greasy and does not sit well with me but i did not want to pass up the opportunity of giving it a shot. End result...it was A-OK, not something that I would go out of my way for while at the park. I could tell it was fresh and not stale, which is a good thing and given their recent popularity I'm sure t he demand helps keep it that way. I also noticed they now offer it with soft serve ice cream which I think may offset the texture a little and may have been better for me but again if we are reviewing the 'cronut' it should be good all on its own and its compliments should not necessarily alter the quality of the item itself so although cronut a la mode was probably better...cronut itself was not so much a winner for me so I chose not to waste the calories and threw it out after a few bites...not a fan of the grease.

This is mainly on the drink we got. We drank around the world and started with Canada and got the Dragon Berry Refresher. We rated this drink 7.6 out of 10.

Really prime location for those who need a snack or alcoholic beverage. I ended up getting the lobster chips and hard cider. The cider itself was cold and very soothing. Tasted really good and refreshing. The lobster chips were amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed the chips. They were warm, crunchy, and filling.

Just get one. Seriously. If you've never had a cronut before, let me break it down. It's a croissant doughnut dipped in cinnamon & sugar. Here, you may also top yours with ice cream! ICE CREAM - GENIUS! Pure genius! It's so amazing. Tastes like a churro, except not nearly as hard. Trust me, you should not, no, you cannot go to Epcot without trying one of these at least once! Do it! Thank me later!

This review is solely based on the Croissant Doughnut, aka the CRONUT because it is the BEST I'VE EVER HAD. This delicious treat deserves its own review because if you've ever had one from this Refreshment Port, you will understand how standout this small dessert is. This cronut is the perfect balance of its parents, the croissant and the doughnut. Other imitators really lose the croissant component of this latest foodie fad and end up being 90% doughnut and totally miss the mark maintaining the crispy, flaky, and buttery croissant. (::cough cough:: Dunkin' Doughnuts). While Disney in it of itself is amazing, getting to the Refreshment Port for this delicacy at a bargain price of $4.99 is at the top of my list for "Things to do while at Disney". You dream of Disney, I crave of a cronut. I've been to bakeries literally everywhere to try to find something remotely close to Epcot's cronut and its been a very disappointing and expensive journey. If you find yourself at Disney and you want a sweet treat, this cronut will not disappoint. Pro tip: Get your own. The sharing means caring rule does not apply here. Enjoy!

This unassuming spot has made it onto my must-do places/happiness list as part of my quarterly Disney getaways -- why? THEY HAVE CROISSANT DOUGHNUTS! ! And, they are absolutely incredible. Refreshment Port is exactly as the name implies -- just a spot offering a variety of beverages and soft serve, although they also serve chicken nuggets which is total nonsense -- you're at Epcot! Eat around the World, people! Anyway.. As of December of last year, Refreshment Port started serving croissant doughnuts so I made sure to check them out on my trip in early March -- I have been hooked ever since! These babies are served warm, doused in cinnamon sugar and have layers and layers of buttery, flaky goodness. Each bite was crisp, light and sweet. INCREDIBLE. For awhile they were offering it a la mode as an option, which I actually didn't like as much -- the soft serve made the croissant doughnut soggy really quickly. Regular version is the way to go. I have had at least three of them every trip since March, and take one to go on the last day, for the Magical Depress ride back to the airport, waah. Please do yourself a favor and check it out before/after or before and after making your way around the World. It'll cost you $5 even, and is worth that muffin top!

Never thought much about this for more then a beverage but now oh wow you no longer need to dine in ale Celier to order the Cheddar Soup. You can get the same size and soup out here for cheaper even. It's under $5 and so worth it. It's rich wonderful-ness but it is missing a piece of pretzel bread but still so worth it. I also tried the Poutine w/curds and cheddar atop but I got it on the side and added it myself. I will certainly return for this before my trip is over. I only With I could carry it on my flight

My rating is for the signature poutine. I lived in Canada for awhile and had plenty of poutine up there to compare this too. Instead of beef gravy you get their cheddar bacon soup. The fries were cooked well and they held up nicely to the heavy soup. The soup was delicious, paired well with the taste of fries. The cheese curds were delicious. Someone in another review was upset they didn't melt. They're not supposed to be melted. They should be chunks and squishy. It could be a full meal for one person but we shared it and found it to be a good size for that. No question, I'd eat this every visit!

One of my best decisions at Epcot. The poutine (the more expensive one) with the cheddar soup is to die for! I've had poutines in Toronto (actual canada) and this one tasted better to me! (They seem to no longer do the dole whip here btw) I also got the cronut for $5plus. Pretty good a little greasy but would get again.

Ok - short but sweet - Get the Cronut! Its a cross between a Croissant and a Donut. In a word... YUM! Additionally, now they have very, very, very good Bloody Marys! Yes I know they don't go together but what a way to satisfy everyone in your group.

Review for Croissant Donut only: When I first saw that this place was selling Croissant Donuts, I scoffed at the idea that an amusement park refreshments stand would produce any quality snacks. However, after reading the rave Yelp reviews, I succumbed to my curiosity and decided to get one. BOY was it worth it. The cronut was sooo warm and flavorful and wonderfully balanced. It was also shockingly crispy and flaky, which blows my mind because it came out of a refreshments stand ... at a theme park. In fact, after eating one, I went straight back to Refreshments Port to get a second one. The cronut here isn't quite as good as the original cronut from Dominique Ansel's Bakery in NYC, but it's one hell of an effort. I've tried imitation cronuts from Paris Baguette and other bakeries, but none of the imitations are nearly as good as the one at Refreshments Port in Disney World. For less than five bucks, you can get the best snack you'll ever get from an amusement park - a MUST-TRY!

The Cronut was the perfect amount of sugar and cinnamon. Very soft and flaky; just as it should be when a donut and croissant unite in marriage.

Oh what a huge disappointment!!! I was dying for poutine Anders his place was an epic fail. It's so much better at Disney springs. So basically u get a basket full of fries with good gravy... you get four only four cheese curds and to boot the curds were cold. Just not good at all. We also tried the Cro-nut that was the crosswind doughnut. It was very sugar and cinnamon yummy I would recommend it. Oh well next time

During our day in Epcot, I visited this quick service spot twice - once in the morning and once in the evening. In the morning, my boyfriend and I shared the Signature Poutine, which was very heavy. I've never had any form of poutine before then, and really enjoyed it! We felt very full afterwards though, which isn't a bad thing at all. Later in the day, I tried the croissant doughnut myself because it intrigued me. This was alright (a bit too doughy for me, but I'm also not used to eating doughnuts these days). It was a unique thing to try though, and was overall enjoyable. Overall, I enjoyed what we got here, and would definitely say the two items are worth trying, but they didn't blow me away like I expected. There really isn't any theming in place either, which is a bit odd to me.

My favorite dessert in all of Walt Disney World can be bought here. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you...the croissant donut. The croissant donut is made of perfectly layered dough, fried, and rolled in cinnamon sugar. Soft, warm, melt-in-your-mouth--it's the best thing you will ever eat and worth every penny. I used to work at Epcot and would go out of my way during a break to change out of my costume, walk to the Refreshment Port, wait in line, and scarf this thing down before returning to work. I've had the version that's topped with soft-serve, but it's not as good as eating it on its own. This treat needs no extras. I recommend taking your croissant donut, or whatever treat you buy here, and strolling through the World Showcase. Enjoy your snack while listening to a live band in the United Kingdom perhaps.

I've heard a lot of good things about the croissant donut here, but unfortunately, it failed to live up to my expectations. It wasn't really warm when I got it. It was like a deep fried croissant with a ton of sugar sprinkled on top, but there was something about it that tasted strange. I can't really describe it, other than it tasted off. Definitely not how I had anticipated. Overall, I'd say skip this place.

Croissant donut here is better than the real thing. Believe me, I'm from NYC and I've had the original cronut on several occasions. It's pretty large, justifying the $5 price tag, and comes fresh and hot. Delectable croissant layers inside the cinnamon donut shell. I think Ee ate three of them during our trip.

The refreshment port is a great stop for a quick snack. We have tried the coveted croissant donut which did not disappoint and well as the seasonal poutine which was amazing! I hope they add the poutine on the menu year round

Oh my goodness please get the Poutine Fries! The fries come topped with cheese curds and cheddar cheese soup! The best part- they are snack credit eligible with the Disney Dining Plan!

Stopped here on a recent visit to Epcot due to the Food & Wine Festival. As soon as I saw "Dole Whip" I made a beeline for this stand. They didn't have pineapple dole whip which was a bummer but I got over my sadness rather quickly. The line was several people long but moved rather quickly. There is someone who takes your order and also someone to help make sure the line runs smoothly. We ordered the orange dole whip which is essentially orange flavored soft serve in a cup with a maraschino cherry on top! It was quite refreshing considering what a hot day it was. I highly recommend this stand for a unique and delicious treat!

We tried the signature poutine and croissant donut. Being from Houston, we have plenty of croissant donuts around town, but this one was huge in comparison. It still tastes like the ones back home, but they're not really my jam. As for the poutine, it tastes exactly as you expect based on the description: crispy fries doused in a creamy, cheesy sauce laced with bacon and cheese curds; very decadent and filling. I was confused with the cheese curd, as I was expecting something like cottage cheese but received something like chunks of string cheese/mozzarella.

Croissant Donut: 5 Stars - DO NOT however order the coffee with godiva liqueur here, it is watered down and just not good - YUCK. Anyway, as soon as we arrive at Epcot a stop must be made here for their Croissant Donut, its warm, its flaky, it's loaded with cinnamon sugar, I mean HELLO! They now serve it a la mode, which is how I asked for it, I love the concept but because they put the ice cream right in the middle of the "cronut" it's a little difficult to eat together, only way I see it working is to have a fork and knife handy and put the ice cream on the side, I didn't see any tables nearby so I just had to eat the ice cream first and then the "cronut", I wouldn't get it a la mode the next time. If you like donuts, and you like croissants, then you'll love the creation of both of these in one without having to buy a plane ticket to NY.

A cronut is simply a donut mixed with a croissant. I don't know how they do it. I don't know if that's really what it is. All I know is that I've never had one as good as the one at this place in Epcot. I don't like spending money. It's against my religion. But, somehow I ended up paying $5 for one of these things. One bite, and I was drooling like a heroin addict. My daughter asked for a bite, and I shared. But, I also"accidentally" dropped a bag of M&Ms while "looking" for a napkin in my bag. "Baby, you can't have both. You can have another bite of this donut OR you can have this whole bag of M&Ms." The sad thing is that I don't know whether I shared because I love her or because I needed justification to walk all the way back from the front gate to get another one. I mean, I couldn't give an honest Yelp review if all I had was 98% of a donut. Nope, I had a civic duty. The second one was just as good as the first one. If Florida was about ten miles closer to DC, I would actually consider walking back to get another. Oh well.

I know lots of folks love cronuts, but I am a big fan of Dole Whip, and the "big-boy version come with coconut rum! Pineapple, cold (watch out for brain-freeze) AND booze, what could be bad?

Disney was touting its new croissant donut, and I was so excited to try their version! Unfortunately, it was disappointing. It was nice and flaky, but honestly, it tasted exactly like the ones from Safeway. And for the price of one cronut here, you could get a whole box of it at Safeway.
