New Gastropub Coming to Downtown Disney: Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby

News By October 14, 2025 No Comments

Downtown Disney District at the Disneyland Resort continues to turn up the flavor and flair with another new hot spot on the way — Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby — an all-new British-themed gastropub in the works from the creators of Earl of Sandwich and the highly decorated, world-famous Chef Gordon Ramsay.

The pub will bring the Brit pop energy of the swinging ‘60s London, whilst a selection of Gordon Ramsay’s iconic and delicious British classic dishes delivers culinary star power.

Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby Coming to Downtown Disney

‘60s British Themed Gastropub to be Located Atop Earl of Sandwich

Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby will be located atop the new Earl of Sandwich and is poised to be a great gathering spot for visitors and locals seeking an eclectic blend of British hospitality and elevated pub favorites.

Imagine stepping into a space inspired by London’s famed Carnaby Street during the height of the ‘60s cultural revolution: plush interiors, iconic British pop art and an irresistible soundtrack of “British Invasion” rock bands, all transporting patrons to a groovier, more glamorous time.

Soak in the sights from two stylish outdoor terraces, gather at the lively bar area, or tuck into signature booths, while savoring Gordon Ramsay’s renowned cuisine.

Classic British Dishes from Gordon Ramsay and Wide Selection of Beverages

The menu will pay homage to classic British fare, including Chef Ramsay’s legendary beef Wellington, crisp and tender fish and chips, and decadent sticky toffee pudding. To complement the flavorful cuisine, the restaurant will offer a wide-ranging list of wines and beers, as well as an imaginative selection of signature cocktails, each crafted to evoke the spirit of London’s most iconic pubs and lounges.

“All eyes were on London in the 1960s, a full on fantastic technicolour scene of people going out and having fun. We are bringing those cool vibes to Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby,” Chef Ramsay said. “Stunning interiors, incredible food and great music, whether it’s date night or dinner with friends or family, The Carnaby is going to bring the very best of cool Britannia to Downtown Disney District.”

Entertainment Inspired by the ‘60s

Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby will also come alive after dark with live music on select evenings. Keep the evening swinging with themed performances carrying the energy of the ‘60s, making it the perfect destination for both dinner and a night out.

Chef Ramsay’s new location adds to other notable chefs who have or will have a presence at Downtown Disney including Carlos Gaytán of Paseo, Céntrico and Tiendita, and Joe Isidori of the upcoming Arthur & Sons Steak and Bourbon, and Pearl’s Roadside BBQ.

Festival Favorites at EPCOT Food & Wine 2025

Special Events By October 8, 2025 No Comments

Every year at the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, the folks at the Disney Parks Blog are always eager to see which  picks of festivals past will inspire the Festival Favorites menu in World Celebration.

This year, they had the opportunity to sample some of the returning favorites from all over World Showcase. They teamed up with Katie and Ally from Disney Eats to sample the latest Festival Favorites menu. Here’s your update on this ever-changing foodie stop.

Festival Favorites Booth at EPCOT

Where to Find Festival Favorites

Head over to CommuniCore Hall to find Festival Favorites right at the heart of World Celebration. While you’re grabbing a bite, you might also catch the ¡Celebración Encanto! interactive dance show at CommuniCore Plaza.

The Festival Favorites Global Marketplace will be open for the rest of the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, until Nov. 22, 2025.

Festival Favorites EPCOT Menu 2025 Food and Wine

Festival Favorites Menu

Here are the savory and sweet delights available right now at the Festival Favorites Global Marketplace.

EPCOT Festival Favorite Potato Pierogi 2025

Potato Pierogi

This hearty serving features Potato with kielbasa topped with a helping of caramelized onions and drizzled with sour cream. It turns out we were all pretty familiar with these pierogis; everyone in our group reported that they order this dish each year.

Katie (who regularly tests and publishes Disney Parks recipes right here on the blog) tasted this one, and spoke for us all when she noted, “The kielbasa paired with the caramelized onions creates this wonderful salty and sweet flavor. This is a filling dish that makes a really hearty snack.”

The rich flavors stand out in this dish, a robust choice to pair with the Katherine Goldschmidt Cabernet Sauvignon, also available at the Festival Favorites location.

Curry Spiced Fried Cheese EPCOT Food Wine Festival Favorites 2025

Curry-Spiced Fried Cheese

Inspired by previous iterations of curried fried cheese from the India Global Marketplace, you’ll love these spiced bites accompanied by mango-curry ketchup.

These clever bites pack in lots of curry flavor, without a spicy heat. I love curry flavors, so this one was a real treat. The crunch of the breading on the pull-apart fried cheese blended so well with the mango-curry ketchup.

Festival Favorites EPCOT Frozen S'more

Frozen S’more

When they ordered, this non-alcoholic chocolate milk shake featured marshmallow syrup, and is topped with lots of mini marshmallows, chocolate shavings, and a graham cracker.

Ally tried the Frozen S’more Chocolate Milk Shake, and didn’t hold back on her campfire salute, “It’s a really chocolatey milkshake for sure,” She mixed in her marshmallows and dipped her graham cracker into the shake to combine the flavors and textures, “It’s like s’mores in a cup!”

With lots of fun ingredients to work in, this one is sure to be a hit with kiddos on sunny days. Katie also noted that the dark chocolate balanced out the milk shake sweetness, making this a treat suited for adult palates, too.

Festival Favorites EPCOT 2025 Irish Milkshake

Irish Milk Shake

This favorite, previously featured at the Ireland Global Marketplace in past years, brings back a serving of Guinness Stout, Baileys Original Irish Cream Liqueur, and vanilla ice cream. This treat is also available at Swirled Showcase this year.

The Irish Milk Shake lived up to my memories of strolling through the UK Pavilion. The creaminess of the Guinness Stout combined with a bit of bite from the Baileys will bring you right back to the first time you tried the Ireland Global Marketplace version back in ye olde 2019.

Wine and Seasonal Beer Favorites

The seasonal beers at Festival Favorites harken back to some of your favorite selections available at Global Marketplaces all around EPCOT. Availability is subject to change.

At time of publication, we spotted these seasonal brews:

  • Schöfferhofer Grapefruit Hefeweizen from Mainz, Germany
  • Parish Brewing Co. SIPS Cabernet Franc Strawberry Berliner Weisse from Broussard, LA
  • 3 Daughters Brewing Beach Blonde Ale from St. Petersburg, FL

Check back at the Festival Favorites booth throughout the fest, as these selections can change.

Available wines include:

  • Katherine Goldschmidt Cabernet Sauvignon
  • Alexander Valley, California
  • Martin Ray Chardonnay
  • Sonoma Coast, California

Kick off your EPCOT Food & Wine Festival stroll at the Festival Favorites booth. Be sure to save some room for more nearby Global Marketplaces like Milled & Mulled, Flavors from Fire, and Gyozas of the Galaxy (new to the fest this year).
