Spice Road Table, a new restaurant located at the Morocco pavilion at Epcot, is scheduled to officially open to guests later this month. However, the doors have “quietly opened” and the restaurant is now operating daily as part of their soft opening process. This soft opening is giving the staff time to “ease into the new kitchen and iron out details.”
The beautiful, new venue overlooks the World Showcase Lagoon. Spice Road Table offers indoor and outdoor seating as well as an array of regional small plates, specialty wines, beers and aperitifs inspired by the cuisine of the Mediterranean.
We had a chance to stop by last weekend and here are a few dishes from the menu posted outside:
- Chef’s Special: Two different Tapas sampler platters
- Mussels Tagine
- Spicy Shrimp
- Mediterranean omelet
- Moroccan Merguez Sausage
- Fried Calamari
- Hummus and imported olives
- Salted Cod Croquettes
- Lamb slider
- Rice stuffed grape leaves
- Harissa chicken roll
Spice Road Table is a perfect spot for viewing “IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth” or just relaxing with a selection of Moroccan flavors and cocktails along World Showcase Lagoon. According to designers, “Spice Road Table is a feast for the eyes as well as the taste buds.”
According to the Disney Parks Blog, “Inspired by the outdoor cafés along the Mediterranean, the whitewashed façade of Spice Road Table is accented in icy shades of blue from the famous “Blue City” of Chefchaouen in Morocco’s Rif Mountains. With 120 outdoor terrace seats, the inside will seat 60 with cozy booths, Moroccan light fixtures, tilework, tapestries and art representing Morocco’s indigenous Berber tribes is showcased.”
