There is nothing wrong with an abbreviated menu. But when it is a photocopy with everything but one item crossed off because it isn't available there is a problem. The problem with the restaurants in this Morocco section of Epcot was that they were sub-par of the rest of the Disney restaurants on our last visit. This was the only place I (didn't) eat at because the chef on the staff recommended foods that were infused with gluten. The counter person at the walk up counter informed us that the meats the chef recommended were indeed fused with a wheat containing broth after we paid for our meal and it was almost in my mouth. The only other place of a near gluten experience was at Jiko's, which I think was due to a server/chef miscommunication. After the food was fixed, the Jiko experience was a 10 out of 10. For the elevated Disney prices there needs to be some choice and some flavor for everybody in the party. I've been to other Morocco restaurants in other parts of the country that were much better in food and GF choices and entertainment for less money. This was the first restaurant recommended when asking for GF on our last visits. Other choices are better to have parties of GF and non GF to have similar experiences. Both of the Epcot steak houses, the mexican restaurant, and the seafood restaurant should have been recommended before the Moroccan restaurant. By the number of bodies in the restaurant I can see that the purpose of recommending that restaurant was that of capacity rather than for allergy purposing. After the complaint was processed at park management we got a free meal to get us in there for the Disney experience, the wait staff were excellent and the entertainment was Moroccan but there still wasn't any chef to greet us. It wasn't busy enough for this to be necessary. Every other 'sit-down' meal we were at had a chef available. You must have been there on good days and we tried only on the bad days. An allergy doesn't mean your life is over and your taste buds should agree. Glad you had a good experience. Thanks for the comment.

Restaurants in general are not hospitals. I eat at marrakesh restaurant 3 times and it was the best service in walt disney world over all. my server was the best. what s wrong with a white sheet menu???? alergy to me at least means limited food choice, so what is wrong with a limited safe white page menu.
