Changes are happening across all four parks in Disney World right now, with three out of the four getting entirely new lands.
While EPCOT is the only park not getting a new land, that doesn’t mean there’s no construction happening there — far from it, in fact! One of the new additions we’ve really been looking forward to is the new La Poutinerie spot, located at the former Refreshment Port spot. The new restaurant officially opens on July 1st, and signage has just gone up!
This is the first time we’ve officially seen signage for this new spot, and it makes us more confident that it will be ready to officially open on July 1st. La Poutinerie is sponsored by Air Canada, which is also clearly displayed on the signs. The July 1st opening is perfect, as that’s when Canada Day is celebrated — what better way to celebrate than with poutine?
La Poutinerie will offer “a Canadian classic with a twist,” and based on the sneak peek we’ve gotten at the menu, it’s looking like it’s getting ready to deliver on that promise. So far, we know that the menu will consist of:
- Québec: L’Authentique ($10.99): Made with French fries, cheese curds, and brown gravy
- Montréal: Viande Fumée ($12.49): French fries and cheese curds with smoked meat, pickles, and mustard gravy
- Spiced Apple Slushy ($6.29): Frozen blend of ginger beer, lime, and spiced apple flavors
- Spiced Apple Mule ($14.50): Frozen blend of ginger beer, lime, and spiced apple flavors with added Iceberg Canadian Vodka
- Unibroue La Fin du Monde Belgian-style Tripel Ale ($14)
- Molson Canadian Lager ($10.75)
- Domaine Ste. Michelle Sparkling Brut ($7.50)
- Jackson-Triggs Reserve Red Blend ($12)
We’re so looking forward to this spot opening, and hope that means it’ll be part of the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival when it opens on August 27th.
