The Morocco Pavilion at EPCOT is back, with two of its long-shuttered locations reopened as part of the 2021 EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival.

Tangierine Café: Flavors of the Medina, the pavilion's original quick service location, serves a variety of small plates as one of the Global Marketplace kiosks.

Seating is available both indoors and outdoors at the restaurant and in the recently refreshed central courtyard.

Restaurant Marrakesh, the pavilion's original table service restaurant, serves as an indoor space to eat and relax but is not directly serving any food.

The original Tangierine Cafe closed in October 2020 as the pavilion's third-party operator struggled in the wake of the COVID shutdown. Disney has since taken over operations of the Morocco Pavilion and is making a series of improvements.

and the front half of the plane that totally was or totally wasn't from the original movie (back half of the plane on Jungle Cruise too?)

Where are those AA’s from TGMR?…that scene would fit right in!

In keeping with Disney’s latest roll on bars/lounges, they just need to add… ;)

That’s always been there, there’s a few areas throughout the pavilion where you can hear residents talking to each other. Would love if Disney could figure out what to do with this pavilion, it’s embarrassing at the moment

Sorry for the thread bump. I’m currently at the Morocco pavilion in the Fez House. They’ve added some atmosphere audio of two men having a conversation catching up and some other conversations between people.

It’s the Florida Blue Lounge 😊😉

Marrakesh and the Bazaar need to reopen...Up the theme factor and really make that walk back through the pavilion an event. If anything, Spice Road Table has hurt the pavilion overall by diverting people away from wandering back to the bazaar and Marrakesh...Marrakesh need to be more of a spectacular thing to drive guests to the back....

Nadda. Though it’s kitchen is still fully functioning and used to prep all of spice roads food.

Is there any sort of rumbling about Marrakesh?? Had Spice Road today and it was great but just not the same level of quality, certainly not ambience either

They changed the menu though. It is not the same food as they had before. I am sad about this. The chicken shawarma was a must have for me every trip. Believe it or not, not a single restaurant in the city where I live sells it.
