Disney4me Posted Sunday at 03:31 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 03:31 PM Welcome back to Tangierine Cafe: Flavors of the Medina! Tangierine Café We say “welcome BACK” because Tangierine Cafe: Flavors of the Medina serves as a year-round Food Booth at each of EPCOT’s seasonal Festivals throughout the year, and that’s no less true of its role as one of the Holiday Kitchens at the 2024 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays. So please join us as we stop by the Morocco Pavilion and step back into Tangierine Cafe to bring you our full review! Menu Tangierine Cafe: Flavors of the Medina serves up Grilled Kebabs, and it’s your choice of Chermoula chicken or Moroccan-spiced lamb. Stone-baked Moroccan bread with dips also remains up for grabs! 2024 Menu Ciderboys Cranberry Razz Hard Cider, Bold Rock Apple Crumble Hard Cider, and Gulf Stream Brewing Holiday Snakebite are available for individual purchase or as part of the Hard Cider Flight. The Holiday Fig Cocktail makes a return, as well. Here we go! Eats The Grilled Kebabs are something of a staple at Tangierine Cafe (you can often even find them in between official EPCOT Festivals), and they’re served with carrot-chickpea salad and garlic aïoli. Tangierine Cafe Full Spread Your Kebab choices are Chermoula chicken and Lamb Kefta, and they cost $6.25. We do feel that the chicken was a little chewy, and you can tell where they were roasted since those areas are a little charred. We enjoyed the bed of vegetables it was sitting on as well — it was a little sweet and a little crunchy, which worked for us! Grilled Kebab — Chermoula Chicken The lamb was also a bit chewy, though not as much, and it reminded us of the lamb kefta meatballs you can get over at Harambe Market in Animal Kingdom (we honestly wouldn’t be surprised if it is the same thing, just in a different form). While that isn’t a bad thing, we don’t think either is unique enough to want at a holiday festival because a version of them is offered for nearly every festival. Grilled Kebab — Lamb Kefta The Stone-baked Moroccan bread with dips is a plant-based item, costing $5. This could almost be a mini appetizer if you split it between two people, and we really enjoyed it! Stone-baked Moroccan bread with dips The accompanying dips are hummus, chermoula, and a Zhoug dip, and while the chermoula and Zhoug sauces themselves certainly add a bit of a herby kick to the bread, you’ve got the regular hummus there, too, if you’re not as adventurous. We certainly think it’s a solid option and can be friendly to pickier and more adventurous eaters. Yum! P.S. For any other Only Murders in the Building fans out there, are you thinking of Oliver’s love for dips, too? Just curious… Drinks Cheers to you, hard cider fans! THIS is your stop for Ciderboys Cranberry Razz Hard Cider, Bold Rock Apple Crumble Hard Cider, and Gulf Stream Brewing Holiday Snakebite. These were all very on the nose, so you pretty much know what to expect from them by reading their names. These are all available for individual purchase for $5.75 for a 6oz or $9.75 for a 12oz, or you can try all three thanks to the Hard Cider Flight for $10.25. Hard Cider Flight Our favorite was the Ciderboys Cranberry Razz Hard Cider because it was so light and fruity, but it’s not very strong, so keep that in mind! Ciderboys Cranberry Razz Hard Cider We also really enjoyed the Bold Rock Apple Crumble Hard Cider — it almost made us feel like there should be some form of crumble in there because it tasted so similar to an apple pie or apple crumble dish! Bold Rock Apple Crumble Hard Cider The Gulf Stream Brewing Holiday Snakebite wasn’t our favorite, but it certainly wasn’t bad! It has more of a bitter bite to it, so if you’re a fan of those types of ciders, this is for you! Gulf Stream Brewing Holiday Snakebite The Holiday Fig Cocktail makes a return, as well, for $11.50. This year, it’s made with Kleiner Feigling fig liqueur and white cranberry juice. Fig Cocktail Honestly, this isn’t our favorite among all the festive drinks at the Festival. We find that the cranberry has a somewhat medicinal flavor, but at the same time, the drink is almost overly sweet. It deserves kudos for being such a unique option, but ultimately, we think there are better cocktails elsewhere. OVERALL Overall, we think this booth is difficult to dislike if you’re a fan of more intricate flavors, but since it has similar offerings almost every festival, we don’t think it should be too high on your list if you’ve got lots of other must-grabs on your list that are more festival specific, we recommend putting those items above these. The ciders here were really great, so if you’re a fan of ciders, the flight here is a great grab! Tangierine Cafe Thanks for joining us at Tangierine Cafe: Flavors of the Medina!
