Huge portions of steak (various cuts including New York strip, filet mignon and rib eye), whole roast chicken, rack of lamb - even a 16 oz. One thing is for sure: you will not go back to your cabin hungry. The venue is bright and airy with lots of natural light, tables for two, four or more, with faux-leather burgundy-colored chairs and some that looked like they are covered in cow hide. It's only open for dinner and reservations are recommended.īutcher's Cut (Deck 16) 39 euro prix fixe dinner menu or a la carte pricing: First appearing on MSC Meraviglia, Butcher's Cut is a classic American steakhouse serving prime cut steak and chops as well as a few non-red meat dishes. If only that principle could be applied to the rest of the dishes. The best thing about the meal? - the freshly baked, piping hot mini French baguettes - simple and sublimely tasty. Nothing fresh about this, which was presented cold and tasteless. Red mullet was presented in tiny, individual portions atop green pods and asparagus. So why cover them in thick bechamel sauce, creating a grayish, gloopy mess where flavors get buried? Fish and chips - one of the simplest and most delicious seafood offerings when done well - arrives in two fried slabs - one deep-fried monkfish slathered in thick mayonnaise, the other deep-fried potato. Take two of the most intrinsically delicious food items - scallops and jamon iberico, which need little or no adornment to shine. We're not sure his association helps: What's meant to be playful and inventive becomes tortured and unpalatable simple dishes turn into over-complicated creations and exquisite flavors are buried in a mass of competing tastes. Two-star Michelin-starred Spanish chef Ramon Freixa lends his name to this venue, which first made an appearance (without his name attached) on sister ship Seaside. The same however cannot be said of the food. Ocean Cay (Deck 16) 49 euro prix fixe menu or a la carte pricing: This is a lovely space with bleach-blond wood furniture and playful sculptures, expertly evoking a beachside restaurant.
Reservations are recommended for the evening. The food is outstanding, delicious cuts of beef, chicken or seafood all served on soy-soaked beds of egg fried rice. The Teppanyaki features cooking stations with seats arranged around an open top cooking space - with chefs chopping, flipping food in the air, singing and entertaining the diners. There are also some delicious noodle-based dishes, including spicy tan tan ramen and pan-fried noodles. Hot dishes include crab cakes, pork ribs, calamari and steamed clams as well as soups and salads. The menu at Fusion is a combo of classic sushi and sashimi and rolls as well as Hawaiian-inspired poke dishes. Desserts were superb: The tarte Tatin was light and tasty with a scoop of melting vanilla ice cream.Īsian Market Kitchen by Roy Yamaguchi (Deck 16) a la carte pricing: Asian Market Kitchen comprises three Asian dining options - Kaito Teppanyaki a sushi bar and Fusion, a restaurant serving Hawaiian-influenced pan-Asian cuisine. The restaurant and sushi bar comprise one space, with the Teppanyaki next door. But that was one miss in an otherwise spot-on meal. The shrimp and calamari skewer was not successful both were soldered together in a panko-like batter. Other mains will likely be pasta-based and fish dishes. This was superb: tasty, with a real depth, and cooked just the right side of medium-rare (not too rare). There are usually four mains, but five if you count the Chef's Special, which on the night we dined there was pistachio-crusted rack of lamb. Service is attentive, knowledgeable and friendly, particularly when it comes to the wine pairings. Other starters might include Parma ham or a fish carpaccio. Typically, there are five starters, including an impressive three vegetarian options, such as a salad and a soup. The food here is a cut above, with different menus every night. Gray and burgundy decor prevails, and there are plenty of seating options, including large round tables that accommodate between six and 10 passengers as well as tables for two.
It's a lovely spot overlooking the Yacht Club's Top Sail Lounge on Deck 16 (there is no Deck 17 on MSC ships as it's an unlucky number for Italians). MSC Yacht Club Restaurant (Deck 18): This restaurant is complimentary but only open to passengers staying in the MSC Yacht Club.
