Marrakesh

$$-$$$$, Moroccan, Epcot

User Rating: *** 3.3

Fodor's Review:

Chef Abrache Lahcen of Morocco presents the best cooking of his homeland in this ornate eatery, which looks like something from the set of Casablanca. Your appetizer might be harira, a soup with tomatoes, lentils, and lamb that is traditionally served during Ramadan. From there, move on to the chicken, lamb, or vegetable couscous, Morocco's national dish. A good way to try a bit of everything is the Marrakesh Feast ($35 per person), which includes chicken bastilla and beef brewat (minced beef in a layered pastry dusted with cinnamon and powdered sugar), plus vegetable couscous and assorted Moroccan pastries; or better still, upgrade to the Royal Feast ($38 per person), which includes everything in the Marrakesh Feast, plus crepes for dessert. Traditional belly dancers perform periodically throughout the day in a show that is completely G-rated.

Great entertainment with boring food

Posted by kris10rocks from Nashville, TN on 6/2/08

The belly dancer and sitar player are wonderful and very entertaining. That however is the best part. I found the food to have little flavor and to be quite boring. I was extremely disappointed because Tangierine Cafe, the counter service restaurant has wonderful food. If you want a taste of Morocco I recommend trying that and passing on Restaurant Marrakesh.

Tasty Tangarine and Terrific Tabouli

Posted by Rachel from Maine on 4/18/06

While it's not to everyone's taste (ie, anything more adventurous than a cheeseburger with lettuce and tomato makes you nervous), the shwarma chicken platter or sandwich with a delicious sauce, and sides of hummus and tabouli was the best meal I have had on Disney. Even if you're just looking for a cool drink the tangarine ice is a little sip of heaven. It is quite crowded in there, with limited seating so try to avoid peak times. The desserts are delicious and very french-european (delicate and not too sweet).
