Spice Road Table

Location

Epcot in World Showcase, Morocco Pavilion

Entree range

$22–$30 (child $6–$8)

Summary

No longer just a quick stop for a snack, Spice Road Table has expanded its slate of small plates to include several entrees to satisfy those less willing to share with others. Appetizers and desserts still shine here, though, and pair excellently with the restaurant’s extensive wine and cocktail lists. Service is just as attentive as the pavilion’s other table service location, Restaurant Marrakesh, but the casual atmosphere seems more appropriate to the outdoor seating area and modern Epcot.

Setting and Atmosphere

A prime location for both daytime people-watching and nighttime fireworks, Spice Road Table is situated directly along World Showcase Lagoon at the front of the Morocco pavilion. The outdoor covered patio features excellent dining en plein air when Florida weather cooperates, and indoor seating provides colorful pops of modern Moroccan décor. The central lobby is the restaurant’s showcase bar, bathed in jewel-tones and overlooking the pavilion’s iconic waterwheel through peekaboo windows.

House Specialties

Perfectly fried calamari, baked brie, and grape leaves stuffed with bright, lemony rice stick out as favorites on the tapas side of the menu. Hummus fries innovate falafel to a more accessible, but still authentic, dish worthy of consideration. For those looking for full meals, the yellowfin tuna showcases well-prepared, bold flavors. Dessert stars include a rich chocolate mousse pyramid and a pistachio crème brulee sure to impress.

Other Recommendations

Lamb sliders with tzatziki offer a bit of punch and spice, as does the Merguez sausage appetizer, a bit smaller in portion, but easy to share. Grilled beef & chicken skewers may sound simple, but the accompanying chimichurri and roasted potatoes elevate a pedestrian dish to something much more. Coriander crusted rack of lamb offers a more upscale take on the same flavors frequently featured at nearby Restaurant Marrakesh.
