Angela will laugh because I put the belly dancer first, but hey...it was pretty cool! In any case, here we are at Restaurant Marrakesh...the same place that I ate at with my family when we visited Disney World nearly 20 years ago. At that time, the restaurant was still relatively new. But now, after 20 years, it remains much the same as I remember it. The belly dancing, the music and the food! Oh, did I mention how good the food was?
I had a dish of authentic shish kebob and Angela actually had a leg of lamb (which she enjoyed!) The food was wonderful, but the dessert was better. It was a nice flaky, caramel-y concoction that literally melted in your mouth. Mmmmm....I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. But, believe it or not, this was not our favorite restaurant of our trip. It lands in third behind the Irish Pub and the French Bistro. But still, it was wonderful.
One of the great parts of the restaurant is the live authentic music. The musicians and dancers are all very proud of their culture and it shows. That makes for a "real" experience--as real as can be in Florida--and truly adds to the uniqueness of our trip. An interesting fact that I learned while reading the menu: Morocco has the longest unbroken treaty with the United States...dating back to 1791. Who knew?
