What is your favorite Royal Restaurant(s) and which menu item(s) in that venue is your favorite?

[Moby Dick]

I have two answers to the question:

1.  Chops, the Ribeye Steak AND the pork belly appetizer. 

2.  Any venue that serves bacon!

[Mark_A]

Nice Choices!  I love Giovanni's 7 Cheese Pizza!

[CruisingOz]

150 Central Park, the whole menu, especially the fried cheesecake 

[Traveling Mike]

PRIME BONE-IN RIBEYE* USDA Prime 16 oz. bone-in cut, well marbled for peak flavor, deliciously juicy

and it can be found at Chops Grille.

[Pima1988]

I  have 3 answers.

Chops: Goat Cheese salad....@Waytoo will say the red velvet cake

MDR sea day. Tutti Salad for lunch.  

I think its called the world....chocolate dessert at Wonderland.  

Caveat, if you're on a ship that offers the Chefs table than hands down anything you are served  at that meal.

[YellowBrickRoad]

Absolutely loved the Sushi and Saki Menu for Lunch….The Lobster Roll was Amazing!  

Takes the guesswork out as the chef chooses the menu and did not disappoint

Yummmmm, Pizza!  There are so many great eateries on a Royal ship, especially the Oasis and Quantum class ships (I haven't been on any other class ships so I can't speak about the others).  There is only one restaurant I don't care for and that's because I don't eat bait .

You mean broiled garlic butter with snails as a garnish?

Ultimate garlic bread at Jamie's Italian on Symphony. My son ate 4 plates of this on our cruise last week.ultimate garlic bread.docx

 When I go to the specialty restaurants, if Im not interested in any appetizers, can I order 2 entrees? is there a limit for what you can order?

& if so, do you get charged extra for that?

I believe if you want another/2nd steak in chops, they will charge you extra for it.  Except Star Class, they get as much of anything at no extra charge.  

[dodgestang]

Lamb Chop....hands down.  It isn't a cruise without stopping in to Chops for a plate

 

[Hotwheels]

Filet at Izumi!  

Although Chops Bone In Ribeye is a close second.

Depends.  I've done two main courses before to split between my son and me and wasn't charged extra.  I didn't realize I got lucky.

[Spang1974]

The Surf and Turf sushi roll at Izumi, they no longer have it on the menu, but you may be able to special request it, YMMV. If you cannot get that, the Champagne Lobster Roll is my other favourite.

[ChessE4]

Pork loin, lamb, duck, or lobster tail in the MDR with Chocolate Sensation for dessert.

[Kathleen]

Giovannis Mushroom Risotto is a favorite. Some of the best risotto I have had!

[Riley]

I didn't get to be this size by turning food away... I pretty much enjoy everything! 

Also - though we are happy carnivores, we've tried items off the vegan MDR dinner menu and some of them are really good when we're doing multiple B2B and want to mix things up.  There's a grilled peach salad appetizer that is superb, for example, and a grilled asparagus and white bean hummus dish very much worth a try.

[JennaRCB]

Jamie's Italian - The eggplant parmesan is sooooo good. This is a stellar Italian restaurant, really. It sucks they are phasing it out into Giovanni's Italian Kitchen which is too Italian-American for my tastes.

150 Central Park really impressed me! I would say the pumpkin soup and fried cheesecake are the best items I tried.

 

[fit4cruisn]

Can you purchase just the fried cheesecake from 150 Central Park?  I just heard Matt talking about it on today's podcast and I will regret it if I don't try it on Symphony next month.

[alamode123]

I admit it. When it comes to cruising, Im a food snob. Ultimate dining package every cruise.

That said, the best food has to be the roast beef sandwich on a Kummelweck bun. washed down with a lave flow.

No, it's the price of admission for all or one thing

[dodgestang]

FYI.....Izumi on Vision still has Ramen. 

[silenttuba]

The lamb tagine duo from the Solarium Bistro was definitely the best thing I had on my cruise last week. Absolutely delicious!
