The Bauernmarkt: Farmer’s Market is located in the Germany pavilion and is known for serving a variety of Bavarian bites and beverages.
Usually, any Epcot festival booth found in Germany is a popular one.
If you’re not looking to be too adventurous food and drink-wise, Germany might be for you.
This year, Bauernmarkt has the same food and drink items as last year, including the potato pancakes, warm strudel, and beverages like the not-so-good Apfelschaumwein.
Overall, this is an all-around solid booth.

Potato Pancakes with Applesauce
These potato pancakes are served with house-made apple sauce. This dish is also part of the Garden Graze, the food crawl where you can earn a prize.
Our Thoughts
Shannon: Mushy apple sauce topping + soft potato pancakes. It’s fine but I wish it had more flavor.
Heather: I don’t know why these are so limp?!!! It is more than just getting soggy because of the applesauce-it is like they are sitting in juice!
Felicia: The applesauce tastes homemade and is delicious. The potato pancake is potato-y and fine. I don’t personally care for this flavor combination, but it’s well executed.
Toasted Pretzel Bread
This isn’t just any toasted pretzel bread, but it’s topped with Black Forest ham and melted gruyère cheese.
Our Thoughts
Shannon: Little salty and tricky to eat, but loved the combo of ham and melted cheese flavors.
Heather: Skip the potato pancakes and get this instead! Delicious.
Felicia: Absolutely delicious. The pretzel is soft. The ham is crispy and full of flavor and there is plenty of salty delicious cheese. Pretty filling, too.
Warm Cheese Strudel
A warm cheese strudel with mixed berries. This is the only sweet option on the menu.
Our Thoughts
Shannon: Flaky pastry, decent portion, berries lacked any sweetness
Heather: I do like this more than I did last year. Am I maturing? But – it is too chewy and the berry seeds feel funny in my teeth make it stop.
Felicia: The mixed berries were fresh tasting and paired with the pastry well. I didn’t care for the cream and the pastry was soggy. I don’t ever like this sort of food item though so maybe why I didn’t care for it as much as others.
Bitburger Premium Pils
The Premium Pils is a pilsner brewed by Bitburger in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.
Note: this drink is also available in a flight.
Our Thoughts
Shannon: Light but fairly flavorless.
Heather: This is what I’m talking about! A beer that tastes like a beer.
Felicia: Solid Pilsner. Bold flavor but easy to drink. Favorite beer from this booth.
Stiegl Brewery Radler Raspberry
The Radler Raspberry is a fruity beer brewed by Stiegl Brewery in Salzburg, Austria.
Note: this drink is also available in a flight.
Our Thoughts
Shannon: Just the right balance of light and sweet.
Heather: Maybe it is too sweet but at this moment in my life, I really like it. Will I like it tomorrow? Maybe. But right NOW? Definitely yes.
Felicia: Too sweet for me, but it’s a nice light and bubbly raspberry flavored beer. Good for fans of fruity beer.
Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier
A pale amber wheat with notes of banana and clove brewed by Weihenstephaner in Bavaria, Germany
Note: this drink is also available in a flight.
Our Thoughts
Shannon: Loved this one. Light but delicious.
Heather: This beer is like finding a long lost friend. It’s what a beer should be.
Felicia: Delicious. Orange and clove is strong, but in a good way. It’s still light and refreshing. Love it.
Apfelschaumwein
Apfelschaumwein is a Sparkling Wine and Apple Liqueur.
Our Thoughts
Shannon: Whew. An overwhelming flavor and not a great one.
Heather: No.
Felicia: Disgusting. Super sweet but with an alcohol burn. And the rosemary floating in it just adds a funk. Would give it 0 if I could.
