If you’ve been missing the Tangierine Café in the Morocco pavilion, maybe the Tangierine Café: Flavors of the Medina booth will make up for it.
The marketplace sells traditional Moroccan-inspired cuisine, including grilled kebabs, a plant-based falafel pita, and a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.
This really is a great booth. If you wanted to stop at just one marketplace to eat and drink — Tangierine Café is the place to do just that.
We really loved all of the items, but the Stone-baked Moroccan Bread with Hummus, Chermoula, and Zhongshan Dips and the Fig Cocktail were top-notch.
Also, a special shoutout to the Pistachio Cake for being not only super tasty, but for also matching the pavilion’s fountain.
What also makes Tangierine Café nice is the many tables and chairs provided for guests.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Tangierine Café booth, including reviews, photos, and our must-trys.
Overview
Location: Near the Morocco Pavilion
Nearby booths: Greece, Brazil, Belgium

Fried Falafel Pita
A pita pocket filled with fried falafel and topped with a tahini sauce.
Our Thoughts
Shannon: Good tahini sauce, but found the falafel kind of plain
Heather: Really flavorful. The only negative was there wasn’t enough tahini!
Felicia: This is a little dry but has great flavor. Not bad for a vegetarian option.
Allyson: Tastes just as good as I remember when Tangierine Café was open. Great option, especially for vegetarians and vegans.
Moroccan Spiced Lamb

Special Diets: N/A
Rating: 3.0/5
Our Thoughts
Shannon: Tender, good flavors, love the salad bed.
Heather: Great flavor! The best of all the kabobs.

Harissa-marinated Beef Tenderloin Tips
Beef tenderloin tips marinated in harissa, a hot chili pepper paste, served with couscous and cucumber onion salad.
Price: $5.75
Special Diets: N/A
Rating: 2.7/5
Our Thoughts
Shannon: Slightly spicy, hard to chew.
Heather: Good flavor, but dry.
Felicia: Nice flavored steak but a little tough and dry.
Stone-baked Moroccan Bread
Moroccan bread baked on a stone and served with hummus, zaalouk, and zhoug dips.
Our Thoughts
Shannon: Didn’t expect much but ended up loving the soft, warm bread. All dips delicious but especially loved the green/Zhoug dip.
Heather: Warm bread and flavorful dips. Delicious!
Felicia: Absolutely delicious. Warm fluffy bread. The hummus is good, the zhoug is tart and full of cilantro, and the chermoula has a great spice.
Allyson: The bread was soft and the dips? All three are so good, especially the hummus! Love!
Pistachio Cake
A vibrant green pistachio cake stuffed with cinnamon pastry cream and candied walnuts.
Our Thoughts
Shannon: Delicious flavors, light texture, nice size, loved the icing
Heather: Absolutely delicious! I loved this cake. Not too sweet, great filling – and beautiful!
Felicia: Surprisingly delicious. The cake is moist with a mild pistachio flavor that pairs well with the cinnamon cream. The walnuts add a nice crunch.
Allyson: Soooo good. Love this!
3 Daughters Brewing Fig Hard Cider
A hard cider made with figs, brewed by 3 Daughters Brewing of St. Petersburg, FL.
Note: this drink is also available in a flight.
Our Thoughts
Shannon: Light and delicious.
Heather: Best out of the flight! Really solid cider. Extremely refreshing and perfectly balanced between sweet and tart.
Felicia: More tart than the other ciders at the festival, but overall tastes like sweet apple juice… just like every cider tastes like to me. Don’t recommend to those that don’t like apple.
Allyson: This is tasty, but has somewhat of a strong fig taste.
Bold Rock Ginger Turmeric Hard Cider
A hard cider flavored with ginger and tumeric, brewed by Bold Rock Hard Cider in Nellysford, VA.
Note: this drink is also available in a flight.
Our Thoughts
Shannon: Light with a nice (but subtle) flavor
Heather: I hated this last time but I loved it this time!
Felicia: Don’t like cider. The ginger and turmeric is light and adds interest to the cider.
Allyson: A nice and light cider that has a good crisp to it.
Stem Ciders Hibiscus Session Hard Apple Cider
An easy drinking hard apple cider, brewed by Stem Ciders in Lafayette, CO.
Note: this drink is also available in a flight.
Our Thoughts
Shannon: Light, not too sweet
Heather: Not my favorite…but it is great in the flight!
Felicia: Okay, not super sweet. Fig is fine. Don’t like cider but interesting mix in a flight.
Allyson: I really like this a lot. Such great flavors and something I could drink a big glass of.
Fig Cocktail
A cocktail made with fig vodka mixed with white-cranberry juice.
Our Thoughts
Shannon: Loved this. Pretty presentation, nice size, good balance of juice and alcohol.
Heather: Delicious! Large size, and who knew there was such a thing as fig vodka?!?!
Felicia: This is a very pretty drink but is too sweet for my taste. It’s like sugary cranberry juice with a fun spice and fig flair.
Allyson: I enjoyed this more last year. The flavor is very unique. But it is nice and cold.
