I'm bringing two exciting new dining establishments to Epcot's Canada!
"Maison Maple" is a bakery-cafe inspired by the sugar shacks of Quebec.
At the far edge of "Victoria Gardens," an existing cottage-like structure is expanded, with a new walkway installed in its direction. The exterior is rustic but charming, constructed of wood, cobblestones, and a partial tin roof. Metal buckets are tacked to trees outside, and pleasant, sweet-smelling smoke can be seen trailing out of a chimney. A filigreed metal sign reads "Maison Maple" with "Cabane a Sucre" painted on a wooden plank, situated above a menu. A kitchen window can be viewed to the inside, showcasing the creation of "snow candy" on a tub of ice.
Guests enter the cabin-like shack through a clunky barn door. The restaurant is surrounded by wood paneling and held up by exposed beams, with a dining room comprised of mismatched bistro sets and bench-adjoined community tables. The queue is adorned by a hearth and a vintage stove, as well as various buckets and barrels, implied as being used for syrup storage. Light fixtures appear as antique oil lamps, and globe string lights hang from the ceiling. A small collection of bottles and pre-packaged goods are available for sale at checkout. Cast members wear buffalo check and overalls. Traditional Quebecois folk music is played in the background.
At the quick-service counter, guests can choose from a variety of specialty French-Canadian baked goods. Most dishes feature a maple flavor component, utilizing real Canadian maple syrup, such as sugar pie and tart, and frosted donuts and frybread. Savory dishes are predominantly pork-based, such as pork pie, baked beans, and candied bacon. The aforementioned homemade candy is available on a stick, in addition to glasses of Canadian cider and ice wine.
A back exit brings guests into a wooded area, abutting the Kidcot Stop. Here, additional infographics can be found explaining the process of maple tapping, and the differences in flavor profiles.
