Spice Road Table
After we got back to our place at the Boardwalk after a day at DHS, Marlene, James, and I went to the quiet pool. Judy was going to shower and start getting ready for our dinner reservation. I don’t have any notes on what Lauren did, so I guess she just rested up.
I tried out my underwater camera with James in the pool.
We tried out the hot tub for a little bit. I got to talking to a woman there who asked for restaurant recommendations that were nearby. I recommended the Flying Fish. We loved our meal there on our last trip.
But
our reservation for the evening was inside of Epcot, at the Morocco pavilion: Spice Road Table. We went back to our suite, changed, and walked over to Morocco through the International Gateway entrance. It was so nice to be staying at the Boardwalk, close to the World Showcase, just a short walk to so many great places to eat.
When we first entered the restaurant, they tried to seat us in a booth that only had room for 4, for some odd reason. I mean, it seems like only yesterday to me that we would pull James up to the end of a booth in a high chair, but he has since gotten much too big for that, so yeah, we really do need seating for 5. They realized the error and moved us to a table at the end of the room.
Judy and I got one side of the table, near the end wall, with the kids across from us.
Out the window to my right, we had a nice view of the World Showcase Lagoon.
There was some interesting stuff decorating the walls.
The chef came out to talk about food allergies with Lauren and Judy. Nothing had peas or lentils, so Lauren was good. Judy couldn’t have the pita or fish croquettes. We’d had a big lunch at Sci-Fi Dine-In earlier, so we didn’t need a whole lot of food. We decided to only order a few things from the Small Plates portion of the menu. They brought them all out at the same time.
One dish was fish croquettes with dipping sauces.
Another was stuffed grape leaves.
We also got bread and brie fondue.
Another dish was hummus and olives, and maybe some kind of relish? Our server brought some little carrots for Judy to dip, since she couldn’t have the pita.
And the last plate was naan with lamb sausages.
These were all good, but I think I was I mostly enjoyed the lamb sausages. (I wouldn’t last long as a vegetarian.)
We also ordered a couple of desserts to share. First, a pyramid cake.
And, we had to have some baklava.
These were delectable.
Our server took our picture to commemorate our time there.
This was an enjoyable, light meal. It was nice to not overdo the food after a big lunch. And, I got the DVC discount, so it was light on the wallet too.
