The Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival is probably best known for its, well, flowers and gardens. And not just because it’s in the name! The topiaries are incredible; you can see for yourself here the kind of topiaries you can expect.
Like at the other Epcot festivals, though, there’s also a lot of delicious food and drink offerings throughout the park.
And you can find some of those food and beverage options at Northern Bloom!
Northern Bloom is the food booth, or “Outdoor Kitchen,” located at the Canada Pavilion in the World Showcase. It’s open during the length of the festival. The festival runs through June 2, 2025.
We’re going to go over the menu offerings. We’ll tell you what we thought of the menu. Then, we’ll share a few tips for a Disney World vacation to visit the Epcot Flower & Garden Festival.

Northern Bloom Food Review
So now you know your choices at the Northern Bloom Outdoor Kitchen. But how does the food actually taste? Is it any good? Let’s find out!
Beef Tenderloin Tips
The Beef Tenderloin Tips has been a Flower & Garden Festival favorite of ours at Green Vacation Deals for years. In fact, back in early 2020, we ranked the Beef Tenderloin Tips as the best food option at the whole festival!
This year, I actually found the two pearl onions to be my favorite part! I am a big fan of pearl onions, and they were absolutely delicious.
My second favorite part was definitely the whipped potatoes. They were, in my opinion, an ideal consistency: fluffy, without being lumpy or runny at all. They tasted great plain or with the mushroom Bordelaise sauce.
Speaking of which, the sauce was excellent. The mushrooms and carrots were good, too.
Unfortunately, the beef tenderloin tips themselves were probably my least favorite parts of the whole dish. The meat was occasionally a little tougher than I’d prefer. It still tasted good, though, and I would definitely enjoy having the Beef Tenderloin Tips again.
Seared Scallops
The seared scallops received mixed reviews from us.
The smallest scallop was stringy and tough. Fortunately, the other two were nice, plump, and very good.
The green beans seemed undercooked and were too chewy. On the other hand, the bacon was good.
Chocolate-Maple Whiskey Cake
The chocolate-maple whiskey cake was delicious! I am a big fan of chocolate cake, and this to me was like a really good chocolate cake. I definitely recommend it.
Epcot Festival 2025 Tips
Are you planning a trip to Disney World so that you can attend the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival?
You’re in for a treat! The festival is a lot of fun.
If you’re looking for more reviews of the festival food, check out our review of Fleur de Lys, a farmer’s market located at the France pavilion.
When picking out a hotel for your vacation, we recommend one of the following hotels. They are either a boat ride or pleasant walk away from the International Gateway entrance to Epcot. And from that entrance, it’s a quick walk through the United Kingdom pavilion to get to Canada and Northern Bloom!
Alternately, if you stay at the following hotels, you can take a gondola with the Disney Skyliner system to Epcot. It’s generally quicker than the buses, and has better views, too. You’ll arrive very close to the International Gateway.
- Riviera Resort (this is the only direct Skyliner trip to Epcot with no transfers)
- Caribbean Beach Resort
- Art of Animation Resort
- Pop Century Resort
