New water-side restaurant 'Spice Road Table' coming to Epcot's Morocco Pavilion?

[bhg469]

Blech! I like Genie's menu better than cauliflower and no pork/alcohol

Agreed but I'm more into authentic menus. If I expected Moroccan food and instead got spaghetti and meatballs I would be let down.

I agree. I was just expressing my unsolicited opinions

Any updates? Has construction gone vertical on this joint yet?

 

[Polyman]

Yes

I am curious as well!
Any release of a date when it will be open?

Some pictures of the progress as of today, 6/29/2013.

First two show the photo scrim, from across the lagoon, it does blend in relatively well. Better than just a generic brown wall/scrim. You can see the building rising in the second picture:

Here's some closer views of the building as seen over the wall from the Morocco side:

Also, the stage for Mo'Rockin has been moved over to the grassy area between Morocco and France, and given a canopy cover as well:

Thanks for those great pics. I wish they would release concept art, can't really imagine how this is going to look but hoping it doesnt dwarf and block the pavilion itself.

Great Pictures!!!

They are putting that up quicker than dwarves digging a whole in a mountain for their mine train

I would hope the facade mimics the pavilion as to blend in well.

I'm sure it will with atleast one more form of Moroccan architecture to futher the story, I only wish we had some concept art to refer to.

Need to say again how sick this makes me. These restaurants are running the lovely views around the lagoon and they're cluttering up the walkways.

Just what the hell is Disney thinking when they decide to make a place more cluttered and less pretty? That those things will pay off well in the long run??????

I think someone is pocketing a good deal of cash on this.

They're probably thinking "people like food at Epcot. And they pay for it."

Disney doesn't do new stuff, people complain.
Disney does new stuff, people complain (usually the same ones).

Same thoughts here. From whats been built already, I'm somewhat concerned the mistakes of Mexico are being repeated in Morocco; those concrete towers seem awfully tall, and it looks like they're not topped out yet...

Honestly Epcot is my second fav park and I go mainly for the food and drinks. The attractions are second

Although I'm not a fan of building on the lake side of the promenade, I do think this will look good when finished. It shouldn't block the pavilion, rather, it will add some depth to and complement the look of the pavilion, especially when viewed from the other side of the lake.

Is there still a place to get henna done in Morocco? That was a tradition for my sister and I.

They should just make it a bar.

Not in this case. People have the right to complain about adding a food place to World Showcase in this case because the park doesn't need anymore more food places. Epcot doesn't need to add more food places because of the amount of food places they got including having the most Table Restaurants of the 4 parks.

If this was MK, AK, or DHS adding a new table service, you have a point.

Theme parks are supposed to have people go there for Attractions. Epcot was originally designed for Attractions and food. The attraction part is lacking in world showcase.

They usually had a second location in the inner bazaar as well. I'd imagine they both are working from there now.
