Restaurant Marrakesh (Epcot)

Every time we had passed Morocco in the World Showcase we had been tempted by the smells coming from the nearby kiosk for the Food and Wine Festival. Since the offerings there were similar to what was available in the restaurant, I was really hoping that our dinner there would be something special.

I wasn’t impressed. The Beef Brewat Rolls that I ordered as an appetizer were served at room temperature and the powdered sugar sprinkled on them overwhelmed any seasoning the meat had. My main dish was Shish Kabobs of beef tenderloin and vegetables. The beef was overcooked, not just well-done but dried out and tough. The kabobs were sitting in a sauce that reminded me of a bland, watery spaghetti sauce.

According to Disney’s site, “One of the many delights of this exotic treat of a restaurant is the traditional belly dancers that entertain throughout the day.” I had used this as a major selling point when talking my teenage sons into trying this restaurant but unfortunately neither the belly dancer nor the musicians were preforming while we were there.

The service was adequate, not quite neglectful but also not as attentive as most of the other table service restaurants that we tried.

This was probably the most disappointing meal of our trip.
