“ 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 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 ”

“ 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. ”
“ The pork belly that comes in the bloody Mary is excellent and the seasoned rim salt is some of the tastiest I've ever had. The lobster chips are unique and delicious. ”
“ 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. ”
“ Love the traditional poutine from here, served with fries and squeaky cheese curds topped with brown gravy. Also recieved some pixie dust from a cast member, I was handed a tub of ice cream as a treat. ”
