The best way to enjoy the festival is to visit SeaWorld Orlando early in the morning, before the lines get busy and after enjoying the major rides. Sip and sample the many culinary delicacies of the Seven Seas Food Festival.<\/p>\n

\n

More than 180 amazing eats are available Fridays at 4:00 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays starting at 11:00 a.m. The festival runs now through May 5th and offers, on select nights, live performances. Check out the complete lineup here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The mouth-watering dishes are created by Executive Chef H\u00e9ctor Col\u00f3n and his team and include Asian, Polynesian, Mediterranean, German, and Brazilian offerings, just to name a few.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

New this year is an Italian market offering Lasagna, Caprese Salad, Cannoli, and a fabulous Melanzane Alla Milanese (Grilled eggplant topped with prosciutto and fresh Buffalo mozzarella).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Also new this year is the Vegan Market where you can enjoy the Impossible Meat Slider (Caramelized balsamic onions, jalape\u00f1o ketchup, and fresh arugula on a mini pretzel bun), Avocado Corn Tostadas, and a homemade nutty butter protein bar for dessert.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

An array of Caribbean dishes from Jamaica, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic are beckoning in the Caribbean Market section. Check out the Jamaican Beef Patty or the Traditional Cuban Slider served with plantain chips and mojo.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mofongo (Garlic mashed plantains with onion mojo served with fried pork) and yummy Baccalaitos (Thin, crispy salted codfish pancakes) are specialties from Chef Col\u00f3n\u2019s native Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

From the returning favorites, I liked the Grilled Lamb Chop from the Mediterranean Market and the Bar Siu Bao (Steamed pork buns with gingered grilled pineapple and Hoisin sauce).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

At the German Market, Wiener Schnitzel Slider and Knockwurst, as well as a Chocolate Dipped Footlong Pretzel, are winners.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

New on the menu at the Polynesian Market is the Oahu Poke Bowl (Hawaiian-style smoked salmon and seared tuna over seaweed salad and steamed rice). It is really good and very filling, but the New Orleans Crawfish Boil next door at the Gulf Coast Market, paired with a Mayport Red, was my favorite. Satisfy your sweet tooth with a Cajun Lobster Cheesecake Drizzled with Lingonberry Sauce.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Meat lovers will enjoy the Brazilian Picanha Steak (served with roasted potatoes and tomato chimichurri) and the Bacon Wrapped Sweet Plantain at the Brazilian Market. I enjoyed the Acaraje (Brazilian black-eyed pea and shrimp fritters), and the Mousse de Maracuja (Passion fruit mousse with fresh passion fruit coulis) is tart and refreshing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It is worthwhile to note that all dishes are served on biodegradable bamboo plates and that all straws at SeaWorld Orlando are paper straws.<\/p>\n
