Canada Booth Menu & Review (2023 Epcot Food & Wine Festival)

Canada Booth Menu & Review (2023 Epcot Food & Wine Festival)

Cheddar bacon soup? Check. Good beer? Check.

You can find both of these at the Canada booth, which is always a fan-favorite at Epcot’s Food and Wine.

For some reason, guests can’t get enough of the Cheddar and Bacon Soup that you can also find at Le Cellier Steakhouse (located in the Canada pavilion).

Who doesn’t want a cup of hot soup on an Orlando summer day when the sun is scorching and making you sweat profusely?

Depending on the year, even we usually end up walking away loving this soup — when it’s not gelatinous, that is.

Good news — we didn’t hate the soup this year! Plus, there is a very tasty returning beer that is worth the wait at the Canada marketplace.

Here’s everything you can find at the booth including our reviews, photos, and what we consider must-trys.

When it comes to our reviews and ratings, we thought it would be helpful if you had a better understanding of our personal preferences (what we like and don’t like), along with if there are any dietary restrictions.

Here’s a breakdown of not only who is doing the reviews, but a little more information about what each of us likes and doesn’t like food and drink-wise.

Shannon (Founder)

  • Likes: Almost everything
  • Dislikes: Beers that taste “stinky,” anything too salty
  • Dietary Restrictions: None

Heather (Editor)

  • Likes: Strong flavors, anything made out of potatoes, white wines, all beers (especially stouts and wheat beers), doesn’t mind sweet (plain fruit is NOT a dessert. Ever.)

Photos & Reviews

Canadian Cheddar Cheese and Bacon Soup

Similar to the popular soup that is served inside of Le Cellier restaurant, the Food and Wine version is paired with a pretzel roll.

Canada Cheese Soup
  • Price: $6.00
  • Special Diets: N/A
  • Rating: 3.7/5

Our Thoughts

Shannon: Soup is a little salty, pretzel bread is soft and delicious.
Heather: This year it is less pudding and more like a soup! YAY!! Definitely an improvement. Just salty, so be warned.
Felicia: This has great flavor and is well executed this year. The pretzel bread is soft and doughy. The soup is hot and is not too thick. Better for cold weather.

Le Cellier Wild Mushroom Beef Filet Mignon

This is a smaller portion of the same filet that is served inside of Le Cellier restaurant and is topped with a truffle-butter sauce.

Canada Filet
  • Price: $9.75
  • Special Diets: Gluten friendly
  • Rating: 3.3/5

Our Thoughts

Shannon: Some flavor in sauce but overall kinda bland.
Heather: Delicious. Mushrooms are extremely flavorful. Decent sized period, too!
Felicia: This dish is very hit or miss. Some years it’s great and others it’s not. This year ours was cooked well done and was dry and rather flavorless. Overall wouldn’t recommend this just because you won’t know if it’s going to be good or bad.

Collective Arts Audio/Visual Lager

A crisp and refreshing lager brewed by Collective Arts Brewing in Hamilton, Canada.

Canada AV Lager
  • Price: $5.50 (6 oz) / $9.50 (12 oz)
  • Made with alcohol? Yes
  • Rating: 4.0/5

Our Thoughts

Shannon: Very light, refreshing
Heather: Hoppy lager. With some hints of citrus. Citrus hinted beer is fantastic on hot days.
Felicia: This isn’t as smooth as a normal lager, it’s a little hoppy. Not bad though. Good flavor.
Allyson: It’s on the lighter side for a beer and refreshing on a hot day. Good if you want a light beer.

Château des Charmes Cabernet-Merlot Old Vines

A red wine made with a mix of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot grapes that have been aged in French oak barrels for 15 months.

Canada Red Wine
  • Price: $7.50
  • Made with alcohol? Yes
  • Rating: 3.0/5

Our Thoughts

Shannon: Don’t often enjoy red wines in the heat, but this is a very nice, light option.
Heather: Honestly liking this one better than last year. Is the wine better? Or have my taste buds matured? Stay tuned to find out.
Felicia: It’s a fine red wine. A little sweet but not too much. I would get this again.
Allyson: Nope. I didn’t like this at all. I’m also not a wine person.
