Restaurant Marrakesh Description:
This is one of the easiest restaurants to get a last-minute reservation at Epcot, tucked away in the back of the Morocco pavilion in World Showcase. Friendly servers direct you to tables around a small dance floor, where a belly dancer works her magic on the men in the dining room. This cuisine doesn't appeal to every Epcot guest, but those who want something different will enjoy the unusual flavors. We suggest starting with the combination appetizer of beef brewat rolls, layers of thin pastry stuffed with seasoned minced beef, fried and sprinkled with cinnamon and powdered sugar; chicken b'stilla, pastry stuffed with minced chicken and almonds, sprinkled with cinnamon and powdered sugar; and Jasmina vegetable salad. Couscous dishes dominate the entrées, but instead go for the lemon chicken, a braised half chicken seasoned with garlic, green olives and preserved lemon, or roasted lamb. Most desserts are sticky sweet, and a little goes a long way, like the sweet phyllo topped with vanilla ice cream and sprinkled with toasted almonds. The experience is complete after the gracious server brings a silver pitcher of rose water to pour in the palm of your hands, a refreshing farewell.
