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

[valenrandy]

Well if it is going to go up, I hope it will fit the area well and the food represents the food from Morrocco(unlike the newish Mexico location).
BTW, I wonder if Morrocc will contribute to the building of this.

 

[WDW1974]

I am saddened by the idea of more buildings cluttering up the World Showcase, especially near Morrocco because it is my favorite pavilion.

It's not the last. There's another one they are looking to do. ... and it will clutter up the area just like the Hacienda (which I still haven't tried yet) does at Mexico.

It's also going to be more Med-inspired cuisine than Moroccan as folks don't exactly make beelines to get ressies at the current locale 180 days out. I've been told Tapas at real world moderate restaurant entree prices.

When they are done putting restaurants up against the water will there be any place left to view Illuminations without a FP+, dessert party or eating in one of those water view restaurants? It has been difficult enough with all the reserved VIP spots and adding the Mexico waterfront restaurant to find a scrap of land to view illuminations, it is going to be like Fantasmic, need to waste several touring hours to guarantee a spot to view the show. How annoying.

Is it Canada?

 

[WDW1974]

Is it Canada?

Can't say because am not sure ... last I heard they had concepts for Canada AND Germany. But only going to do one ...

Can they fix the Liberty Inn? There's so much quality "American" food out there to choose from, but no, let's have burgers fries and coke.

Put a Tim Hortons on the Canada waterfront and I'll be happy (or a cactus club or a Harvey's lol)

Yup, I'd much rather have Timmy's coffee invading the parks than Staryucks...

Not the greatest but here ya go:

That bright light on the right side of the picture is construction crews putting up the wall tonight. I'm told its where the current M&G area is for Jasmine & Aladdin.

 

[sweetpee_1993]

It's like rows of condos that take over shorelines... Where will they put all the food/wine booths if they line the lagoon side of all the pavilions with more restaurants? Oh, maybe they can section off World Showcase and just make it the straight-up new nighttime adult party venue. I'll join team Notafan.

Memphis-style barbecue pork ribs.

I mean, hey if Tomorrowland can have those godawful turkey legs, getting real barbecue at the American Adventure should be a breeze.

Yep ... they're going to take a MAGIC carpet ride to a whole new meet-greet-and-grope locale near the entrance to Restaurant Marrakesh.

Was Morocco really the pavilion they needed more food and a restaurant at? Ugh

Wasn't Spoodles originally a Tapas restaurant and that did not work out so the changed it to a normal menu (and then finally closed it to put Kouzzina in its place)? But perhaps by now tapas have become more mainstream, so won't freak out the average WDW guest anymore?

I told them this exact same thing in a survey in 2011, so they'll probably be changing the menu any day now.

Tutto Gusto is a small plates place, too; I guess that must be doing well. The fare will probably be as adventurous as a F&W booth, since Epcot is turning into a year-round F&W Festival: Tutto Gusto, La Cava del Tequila, sake in Mitsukoshi, giant new Boulangerie Patisserie, Flower & Garden, tapas in Morocco...

Yes.. Mediterranean food is really delicious and some of the best offerings in the park.

 

[Beholder]

I didn't realize that a lack food options was such a major issue in WS. Meh. A new country, new attraction, or something new/reimagined in the front half, that would be great. It seems easier to change a menu than to build an entire restaurant. That's just me though, would rather have new things to do instead of another food place.

 

[PeterAlt]

Cool, WS can really use a water slide!

Actually in the space you could do a restaurant concept of being Liberty Inn: A Tapestry of Flavours Flavors ... have each state represented by one dish/cocktail.

Have a rotating list of dishes inspired by each state and a cocktail, 5 starters, 5 mains, 5 dessert plus a list of 10 cocktails...swap depending on season... *boom* easy money... I'll take my consultancy fee now Disney.

WDW ought to build an entire WS of US states! Local architecture, local cuisine.

A New Orleans Square area, with cajun food. A Liberty Squaresque New England, with seafood. BVS for California, with health food. Texas, with 22lbs steaks.

I'd kill to visit something like that.
