Disney4me Posted yesterday at 06:00 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 06:00 PM EPCOT is home to so many restaurants that it can be difficult to decide where to eat. That’s why we’re here! We try all the restaurants and bring you the details so you can figure out where to stop on your Disney World trip. Spice Road Table We headed to Spice Road Table in the Morocco Pavilion at EPCOT to see if this spot still delivers excellent quality and flavors. Come with us to dinner and see if Spice Road Table is somewhere you should add to your “must-do” list. Atmosphere Welcome to Spice Road Table! This restaurant is by the water of the World Showcase and has covered seating. Covered patio Walking in, you’ll see a wall filled with spices on the tiled floor. Reservations are recommended, but some same-day reservations may be available. Spices The covered patio has beautiful lamps and fans along the ceiling to help you stay cool. There are even some additional umbrellas to help with that brutal Florida heat, but don’t worry, there are some tables inside as well. The deep teals take us straight to Morocco! Fans to stay cool Now that we’re at our table, let’s review the menu. Menu The Spice Road Table is available for lunch and dinner and has Mediterranean-inspired small plates. We love picking out a few small plates to share among the table and ending it with dessert. From seafood options, chicken, and a plant-based option, even with a limited menu, we can usually find dishes to easily share with the whole party. The menu Connected to the name, the dishes are filled with spices, but are not always spicy! They use bright, fresh flavors and are lighter than other theme park dining locations. They also have specialty beverages, wine, sangria, beer, and cider. Grab a seat We’re getting hungry after reading that menu, so let’s eat! Eats We started off with the Calamari with Harissa Remoulade for $13. Calamari This new menu item had a great, crispy texture, without being too hard to bite into. It’s a bit chewy because the octopus provides a briny seafood taste. Don’t be afraid of that bright orange sauce — it’s not spicy! It’s mild and brought a bit of tang to the dish. There were red peppers and fresh lemon to add bright flavors. The sauce While this might not be our favorite meal we’ve ever had at Spice Road Table, it’s a solid dish, and if you’re a calamari fan, you’ll want to add this to your list. Yum! We also ordered the Spice Road Sampler for $15. Sampler While all of the dishes served here are small plates, this combines three popular menu items and even small dishes. The sampler has zaalouk, spiced lamb kefta, and house-made hummus fries. We dove into the hummus fries, one of the most popular items on the menu. The hummus is fried like a falafel, so you can eat it with your hands. Three large fries were topped with cucumbers and tomatoes and served with a citrus-chipotle sauce with a zing! It was spicy, but we loved the heat that came with it. Hummus Fries The lamb kefta is similar to the kebabs you can get at Tangerine Cafe, which we love. It is served with a mint chutney and tastes of pistachios, which bring in a bright flavor and a bit of crunch and sweetness. Lamb kefta The zaalouk came with bread similar to naan or pita and a chipotle dip. You get plenty of dip to scoop, and it has a low heat from the spices, but it is not as spicy as the sauce with the hummus fries. We like that we get three different meals together, which allows us to try other meals when we can’t decide. Plenty of dip! We’re never leaving a restaurant without a sweet treat, so we ordered the Dessert Platter for $11. Dessert trio You get a variety of Moroccan pastries to try. The cookie might look tough, but it was SO soft. It’s a little chewy and sticks to the top of your mouth. We tasted a deep, warm, spiced flavor with a cherry middle that brought in some tartness. The cookie The flakier croissant reminded us of a baklava, combining a croissant and a cinnamon roll. It was swimming in a light honey-coated coating with chopped nuts on top. The sweetness level is perfect for an after-dinner dessert. Inside The third piece is a spiced cake covered in a thin layer of honey and sugar. The bottom was soaked, and this cake was so delicious that we wished we had a whole one. Fluffy cake Drinks To drink, we had the Pomegranate Mimosa for $14.50. Cheers! Mimosa fans are going to be obsessed with this one. It was cold and bubbly, and the pomegranate flavor was very mild with some tang, while the mimosa side of the drink was strong. The seeds either float to the top or bottom, so if you want to eat them, you can, but if you don’t love the crunch, you can easily avoid it. Mimosa lovers will be obsessed Nosh or Not Spice Road Table needs to be on your list if… You want lighter, smaller dishes You enjoy spiced dishes and Mediterranean flavors You love to sit by the water and enjoy a relaxing meal You might want to skip if… You want a wider variety You enjoy more classic or familiar meals You want a fast dining experience to get to your next activity Our meal Overall Spice Road Table is our hidden oasis in the very busy World Showcase.
