If you had to choose: Cagney's or Le Bistro?

We have the three specialty dinners included. I already know we want to do Teppanyaki and Moderno.

So we have one remaining - should we do Cagney's or Le Bistro?

We go to steakhouses often and he is a huge fan of a good ribeye. But we also have never been to a French restaurant, and I have heard that Le Bistro makes a great steak.

Any opinions?

This is on Pearl, BTW. :D

Cagney's hands down!

Honestly, you can't go wrong with either one. Since you have never been to a French style place before, try LeBistro.

Cagney's hands down!

I love them both. We usually do 2x Le Bistro and 2x Cagney's.

Loved Le Bistro so much we ate there 2x! Wish we had tried it earlier in our cruise because we would have eaten there more.

Cagneys

Since both Moderno and Teppanyaki are prix fixe restaurants, why not pay cash for one and use that third SDP meal for one of the a la carte places?

In terms of value, a 3-meal SDP is $69, or $23 per meal (plus 18% gratuity), Moderno is $25 (plus 18% gratuity). You will probably get much better value at Cagney's where some of the entrees alone cost more than that.

trade out the teppanyaki. do cagneys & le bistro. we did that and the moderno and cagneys was the best for service and quality of food.

We were very disappointed with Le Bistro. Cagney's, Teppanyaki & Moderno's were all excellent with our favorite being Moderno's.

The scalops on Le Bistro and the creme brûlée were the best thing I ate my cruise!

Yes! I honestly had not considered that! I think we will go this route -- totally makes sense. Thanks for this! (y)(y)

Le Bistro for sure, we usually eat here several times during a cruise.

DROOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.

Both of those look so good.

And creme brulee - that moment where you crack the hardened sugar with the spoon :loudcry:

I've also read about their mushroom soup being very good.

Excellent Game Plan - although DARN - no Los Lobo's offered !

Use the SDP on the 3 most expensive restaurants and option the 4th on your On Board Account.

First time dinners sample all of these so the next cruise you can zero in on what is best for your taste !

Also note that you can purchase the SDP in minimum increments of 3 and a maximum of the number

of days in your cruise - the normal increment is 3 on a 7 day cruise.

IN answer to the OP ? - my preference is Cagney's.

And BON APETITE !

cagney's is our favorite. We eat there 2 times each cruise. Others say about the creme brulee being good in le bistro, but cagney's has a raspberry creme brûlée that is fabulous.

If good steak is really your thing, probably Cagney's would be the best. For us, it is Le Bistro hands down. We love the atmosphere and it is so upscale compared to other restaurants plus we have always except once had great service. I can't say the same about Cagney's.

It's exactly what I did with no regrets. For what it's worth, I hit Le Bistro twice. Amazing seafood pastry app, French onion soup and the 5 peppercorn filet mignon are to die for! Cagneys has a much larger menu though.

cagneys, although i do love the escargot at LeBistro. teppanyaki is good, alot of food, but no different than a land hibachi - and tehy cant do onion volcanoes with fire.

Well if you went twice, that certainly tells me that it's good. :)

You had me at raspberry creme brulee (y)

Merci!

So, if I still have an SDP credit remaining on my account, but want to have, for example, Teppanyaki charged to my on board account, do I just tell the server? I was thinking we might have to strategically plan our reservations in order to use the 3 SDP credits on the a-la-carte places before going to the flat rate spots?

I would skip Moderno's....everything tasted the same...Garlic. I would do Teppanyaki, Cagney's and Le Bistro.

Given the choice between the two, Le Bistro for sure. We did both Cagney's and Le Bistro last week, and Le Bistro was far better. I love a good ribeye, too, but the one I was served at Cagney's was more than half fat. Flavor was good, but.... husband's porterhouse was not the best he'd had, either. If we returned, we stick with he filets.

No such complaints about Le Bistro. Everything was excellent.

Cagney's!!!

On 3 different ships - the answer was clear.

All 3 we ate at LeBistro twice and were disappointed with our single meal at Cagney's.
