Last night, we dined at Restaurant Marrakesh in the Morocco Pavilion at Epcot. Our original plan was to eat at Tutto Gusto, but they had a long wait and it appears that my favorite pasta dish is no longer on the menu.
We have eaten at Restaurant Marrakesh several times before and always had a good meal. It's tucked away in the back of the Morocco Pavilion.
We only had to wait a few minutes to be seated. While we waited, I had a chance to admire the decor. The rugs, tile work, and lanterns are impressive.
Restaurant Marrakesh never seems to be too busy, so it's a great place to dine if you don't have advance dining reservations.
A chef came out to see me to discuss the menu. Unfortunately, the only appetizer that is gluten free is the assorted Moroccan salads for two, and for dessert, I was told that fruit is the only option. For dinner, the chef said I could order the shish kebab, chicken kebabs, lemon chicken tagine, or Mogador fish tagine, and I am pretty sure he said the Roast Lamb Meshoui was ok as well.
Restaurant Marrakesh is still serving Ener-G rolls, which I usually do not enjoy, but they were heated perfectly.
For an entree, I chose the chicken kebabs, minus the couscous, which contains gluten. I was offered yellow rice with vegetables instead. The chicken kebabs are served with an olive salad, but I asked for hummus because I am not a huge olive fan unless they are the plain black pitted variety from a can. The chicken skewers contained vegetables, and everything was cooked and seasoned well. I enjoyed dipping my meat and vegetables in the hummus, and the rice was tasty as well. I felt it was a generous plate of food and I left satisfied. Restaurant Marrakesh accepts Tables in Wonderland, but even with the 20% discount, I thought the meal was a little pricey.
After dinner, we walked over to the France Pavilion to Les Halles Boulangerie & Patisserie. Last week, I sampled the macaron selection, but this time, I was in the mood for Creme Brulee. It was delicious!
My friend Sarah from Gluten Free & Dairy Free at WDW has visited Restaurant Marrakesh for dinner and chose several different options than I did. You can check out her review here.
