La Poutinerie at EPCOT | New Canada Pavilion Poutine Spot

23 May 2026 by Steve Bell Leave a Comment

A new Canadian-inspired poutine stop is coming to EPCOT’s World Showcase.

La Poutinerie is a new quick-service kiosk coming to EPCOT’s World Showcase, replacing the former Refreshment Port location. Hosted by Air Canada, this reimagined snack spot will focus on one of Canada’s most famous comfort foods: poutine.

If you visited Refreshment Port in recent years, you probably already know this area for fries, cheese curds, gravy, and seasonal festival variations. La Poutinerie appears to be Disney’s way of making that identity more official, more themed, and more connected to the nearby Canada Pavilion.

Location

📍 EPCOT | World Showcase

La Poutinerie will be located near the entrance to World Showcase, on the right-hand side as you approach the Canada Pavilion. This is the same location previously occupied by Refreshment Port.

Its location makes it a very convenient first stop if you are beginning a counter-clockwise walk around World Showcase. It is also a handy place to grab a quick snack between festival booths, attraction return windows, or a stroll toward Canada and the United Kingdom.

Ambiance

La Poutinerie is expected to receive a much stronger Canada-inspired look than the former Refreshment Port. Concept art shows a redesigned exterior with new La Poutinerie signage, Air Canada sponsorship branding, Canadian-inspired details, landscaping, and decorative elements that help tie the kiosk more closely to the nearby Canada Pavilion.

Expected exterior details include:

• A small maple tree feature
• Flying Canada geese statues
• Canadian red maple leaf emblems
• Rockwork along the side columns
• Updated signage and menu boards
• Additional landscaping and decorative touches

This should be a nice upgrade for a location that previously felt more like a simple snack stand than a fully themed World Showcase dining location.

Menu

Disney has not yet released the official La Poutinerie menu.

Based on the name and early descriptions, poutine will clearly be the focus. Traditional poutine usually includes fries, cheese curds, and gravy, but EPCOT has often offered creative seasonal versions at this location during the park’s festivals.

Poutine

La Poutinerie is expected to serve Canadian-inspired poutine, possibly including both traditional and specialty versions.

Possible offerings may include:

• Classic poutine with fries, cheese curds, and gravy
• Seasonal poutine variations
• Festival-inspired toppings
• Loaded poutine options with meats, sauces, or specialty garnishes

Until Disney releases the official menu, consider these expectations rather than confirmed items.

Drinks and Other Items

Disney has not announced whether La Poutinerie will continue offering soft-serve ice cream, fountain drinks, bottled beverages, or alcoholic options as Refreshment Port did previously.

Once the official menu is released, I’ll update this section with full details.

Festival Offerings

Refreshment Port was often used as a festival food location during EPCOT’s seasonal events, including:

• EPCOT International Festival of the Arts
• EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival
• EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival
• EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays

It is not yet clear whether La Poutinerie will continue this role, but it would not be surprising to see specialty poutine dishes appear during EPCOT’s festivals.

Mobile Order

Mobile Order has not been announced for La Poutinerie.

The previous Refreshment Port location was walk-up only, and La Poutinerie is expected to operate as a quick-service kiosk. I’ll update this section if Disney adds Mobile Order.

Reservations

La Poutinerie will not require reservations. This is expected to be a walk-up quick-service snack location.

Military Disney Tips

La Poutinerie should be a good stop for military families who want a quick, shareable snack without committing to a full table-service meal.

Because it is located near the front of World Showcase, it may work especially well if you are:

• Starting your World Showcase loop near Canada
• Looking for a quick bite before a dining reservation later in the day
• Trying to stretch your food budget with a shareable snack
• Taking a break between Lightning Lane Multi Pass or Single Pass return windows
• Visiting during one of EPCOT’s festivals

Poutine is usually hearty, filling, and easy to split, which can make it a practical snack stop for families touring EPCOT.

Wrap-Up

Refreshment Port Before Closing

La Poutinerie looks like a promising upgrade for the former Refreshment Port location. Instead of a fairly plain kiosk that happened to serve poutine, EPCOT is getting a more clearly themed Canadian-inspired snack stop hosted by Air Canada.

Disney has not yet announced the opening date or official menu, but this page will be updated as soon as more information is released.
