Epcot's Restaurant Marrakesh

Located in the Morocco Pavilion of Epcot's world showcase, the Restaurant Marrakesh offers authentic Mediterranean cuisine in an exotic atmosphere. With a live band and the occasional belly dancer--kids are even invited to practice a dance step or two--there is enough activity going on in the restaurant to keep young patrons entertained while they await their meal.

Moroccan favorites such as mint tea (served hot or cold), shish kebabs and couscous are on the menu, along with other chicken, lamb, and beef dishes prepared with Moroccan herbs and spices. Although the portion sizes are hearty the prices are "Disneyfied" a bit, but the Restaurant Marrakesh is the closest thing to an authentic taste of Morocco in the Orlando area.

One interesting bit of trivia that is noted on the Restaurant Marrakesh's menu is the fact that Morocco was the first country to recognize the United States as an independent nation in 1777 during the American Revolution, making this North African nation the oldest ally of the USA.
