We are back with another look at some of the Marketplace Booths that will be featured at the 2014 Epcot Food and Wine Festival!
Today, we are visiting two more of our favorite spots — one Old World, and one New!
Both the Belgium Booth and the Brazil Booth epitomize one of this year’s biggest themes. We can’t wait to Taste Our Way Around the World with lots of returning favorites, and some new flavors as well.
Let’s take a look at what these two Marketplaces will be offering guests in 2014, starting September 19th.
Belgium Marketplace Booth
The Belgium Marketplace Booth offers Food and Wine Festival guests the best of both worlds. We love the interesting food options here. But it’s also a primo stop on your Brews Around the World Tour as well!

The Belgium Booth first debuted at the festival in 2010, and has become a mainstay since then. After all, who can resist indulging in a sweet or savory Belgian Waffle?
2014 Epcot Food and Wine Festival Belgium Booth Menu
- Potato and Leek Waffle with Beer-Braised Beef
- Belgium Waffle with Warm Chocolate Ganache and Whipped Cream
- Belgium Waffle with Berry Compote and Whipped Cream
- Hoegaarden
- Stella Artois
- Leffe Blonde
- Stella Artois Cidre
- Chilled Coffee featuring Godiva Chocolate Liqueur
- Beer flight (featuring 4 4-ounce servings): Hoegaarden, Stella Artois, Leffe Blonde and Stella Artois Cidre
There are many returning favorites here this year, but we’re happy to say that we see some fun additions as well.
The Potato and Leek Waffle was one of our Best of the Fest Favorites in 2013, so I’m thrilled that it’s returning! This year, the flavors are amped up a bit as the Beef topping the savory waffle is braised in Beer!

After such a hearty dish, we definitely recommend that you give one of the dessert waffles a try. You can’t go wrong with Belgian Waffle topped with Warm Chocolate Ganache and Whipped Cream.

But if you’d rather have a fruit topping, no worries. Try the Belgian Waffle with Berry Compote and Whipped Cream instead.

If you prefer a dessert that you can drink, you’ll be happy to know that the Chilled Coffee featuring Godiva Chocolate Liqueur is also returning.

The Belgium Booth also provides lots of options for the beer lover in your party. Choose from a single option, or try a Beer Flight for variety.

And this year, we expect that the addition of Stella Artois Cidre will be a popular one!

2014 Epcot Food and Wine Festival Brazil Booth Menu
- Moqueca de Pescado: Regal Springs Premium Tilapia with Coconut Lime Sauce and Steamed Rice (gluten free)

- Pão de Queijo: Brazilian cheese bread
- Cocada: Brazilian Coconut Candy

The Brazil Booth was on hiatus in 2012, but returned in 2013 with a brand new menu. In 2014, the Booth will feature a mix of returning and new flavors.
Replacing the featured Scallop dish from last year, Moqueca de Pescado is a traditional Brazilian Fish Stew with Coconut Sauce. This version has a local twist, featuring sustainably-farmed Regal Springs Tilapia. It will be served over Rice.

Making its return is one of the Festival’s favorite dishes from last year, the Crispy Pork Belly. We can’t wait to have this one again!

We expect that Pao de Queijo, or Brazilian Cheese Bread, will be popular with guests. How can you miss with cheese?!

And Kaiser Brewery Xingu Black Beer returns as well! Much lighter bodied than you might expect, this dark beer pairs beautifully with the pork belly dish.

Hooray! One of our favorite Festival cocktails, the Frozen Caipirinha, also returns!

Carnaval Moscato is a great dessert wine, and a surprising find! We think it will be a nice pairing with the Cocada, a Brazilian Coconut Candy that’s debuting this year.

With just over a month to go until the Festival kicks off, we are counting the days — hours?! — until we can try all of our favorite bites and sips!

Seriously? Is it to hard to look up the right word? It’s called MOQUECA. Mocequa is not even a real word.
Hi guys! Besides the moqueca, there’s another misspelling on the pão de queijo. Can’t wait for my trip in October! Greetings from Brazil 🙂
Lucy: interesting considering when I googled Mocequa I found many recipes for what you believe is a made up word. Apparently it can be spelled either way.
I loved all of the repeats last year. So happy to see them back again this year!!
Belgium has gone with an entirely waffle and beer based booth this year? If they are going to go the stereotype route they should add pomme frites and mayo to the menu. That said, the potato leek waffle looks like an interesting twist and I’m all aboard trying it. I admit I’ll miss the mussels but where I live you can get mussels anywhere.
As for Brazil, I’m up for the Mocequa de Pescado. I’m always happy when they feature traditional (not stereotypical, there is a differance) food.
Plan for these booths: Mocequa de Pescado, potato and leek waffle with beer-braised beef. This series is really helping me plan my trip. Thanks.
Seriously, “to hard”? Isn’t that supposed to be TOO hard? I guess I don’t understand the need for such rudeness. You could simply point out the correct spelling and I’m sure AJ would have been grateful and made the change. You obviously make mistakes too. You should hope that others are more gracious toward you than you are to others.
@ AJ – thanks for the great post!! Looking forward to trying the tilapia and some of the other items. Did you by any chance have any of the coconut candy? I’m curious about that – I don’t remember it from last year. Is it chewy or hard or what?
Lucy and Paula — Thanks for your feedback, ladies! We’ve changed the spellings, but the original spelling is how Disney originally spelled the word in their menus. 🙂 It does seem that many recipes I’ve searched for do use various spellings of the words. Good learning opportunity for us here at DFB!
Tracy — Thanks for the info! I’m excited to grab up some of the repeats again this year as well!
GG — Yes! Belgium is “sticking with what works,” I guess! I would LOVE to see pomme frites, though. And I like your differentiation between stereotypical vs. traditional eats. We should do a post on that!
Bella — You’re welcome! Glad you liked the post! I haven’t had the coconut candy yet; excited to try it!
Hi AJ! I’m Brazilian and I’ve had many moquecas de peixe, don’t trust Disney or the internet on this one 😉
And if you want to say it just right when ordering it in the Brazilian booth, the pronouciantion is moo-ke-ka.
I agree, Bella; it’s just as easy to be polite as brusque. You say that you’re Brazilian, Paula? Well, I’d say that the Brazilian Stand would have to be one of my faves…the ‘Fish Stew’ looks delicious. If they still have that in 2015 when I’m going, I’ll definitely be enjoying some of that. Also, the Belgian Berry Waffle looks good. Thanks for a delicious report, AJ.
Paula — I thank you for keeping us correct! Much appreciated 🙂 And I’ll be sure to pronounce it correctly when I order it. Thanks again! (I can’t wait to check our your site!)
