Homosassa Posted January 26, 2010 #27 Share Posted January 26, 2010 For ice cream lovers: The ice cream in the Lido with any of the liquors available to pour over them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredzy Posted January 26, 2010 #28 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Does anyone have the menu for Canaletto. We are going on the March 26 cruise and have heard good things but have no idea what is on the menu. Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kakalina Posted January 26, 2010 #29 Share Posted January 26, 2010 TMWeddle, wow how cool you went to all that trouble. The list doesn't surprise me one bit. I love most of that food. The cinnamon ice cream is really good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaM Posted January 26, 2010 #30 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Pasta in the Lido is good---the bolognese is wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iowa-Cruiser Posted January 26, 2010 #31 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Most of the soups I had were excellent - those on top of the list: Curried Butternut Squash Duck and Sausage Gumbo Chilled Mango Gazpacho Chilled Carrot and Orange Bisque with Cumin I really liked the thinly sliced salmon (available in the Neptune Lounge and it showed up as an appetizer in the MDR). Main dishes: veal cordon bleu rack of lamb filet mignon (better in the Pinnacle - MDR cut was a bit thin, but very tender) Deserts: Chocolate mousse in brandy snap basket Chocolate volcano cake in Pinnacle (the souffle may be their signature desert, but I thought the volcano cake was much better) Chocolate Crème Brulee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthC Posted January 26, 2010 #32 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Deserts: Chocolate mousse in brandy snap basket Chocolate volcano cake in Pinnacle (the souffle may be their signature desert, but I thought the volcano cake was much better) Chocolate Crème Brulee Yes, yes, and an emphatic yessss! Add to those the warm flourless chocolate cake in the dining room. Also, the Baked Alaska served in the Pinnacle. Um-um-good. :D I haven't seen the parmesian crusted chicken listed. Delicious. If you see it on the menu, place an order. The prime rib is excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catl331 Posted January 26, 2010 #33 Share Posted January 26, 2010 That would be Nasi Goreng with Sambal sauce (just a little) Osso Bucco Bread Pudding Escargots Cinnamon ice cream Creme Brulee in Pinnacle Antipasto in Canaletto and TADA!--those yeasty raisin buns at breakfast.

sail7seas Posted January 26, 2010 #34 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Cappucino Bombe on rasberry puree. Used to be on Dutch night and I have not seen it in years. Ohhh, I used to love the cappucino bombe. Every now and then they used to have them at the ice cream counter in Lido at lunch time. Haven't seen them in a very long time.

RedmondCruiser Posted January 26, 2010 #35 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Ohhh, I used to love the cappucino bombe. Every now and then they used to have them at the ice cream counter in Lido at lunch time. Haven't seen them in a very long time. I think that it was labor intensive and thats probably why we don't see it any more. Possibly we can petition and have it a staple in the Pinnacle ? It was to die for though.

innlady1 Posted January 26, 2010 #36 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Escargot! Last year, tried the low sodium escargot for the 1st time, and it was almost (not quite!) as good as the "regular." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisun Posted January 26, 2010 #38 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Ohhh, I used to love the cappucino bombe. Every now and then they used to have them at the ice cream counter in Lido at lunch time. Haven't seen them in a very long time. Last January on the Noordam it was offered once in twenty days...I ordered two and ate every bit of it:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huey Posted January 27, 2010 #44 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I am a vegetarian. The Sweet & Sour Tempura Vegetables at Tamarind & the Mushroom & Potato Tart with some sort of cream sauce (can't remember the name) in the main dining room were awesome!

fann1sh Posted January 27, 2010 #47 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I agree with Kakalina and Catl331 - cinnamon ice cream is not mentioned enough on this thread! :D The only place I've ever seen/tasted it is on HAL cruises! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAYEF Posted January 31, 2010 #50 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Appetizers: baked brie, escargot Desserts: Cappucino Bombe (sad to say, I believe no longer offered) OH, NO!! On my last cruise they told me, "It's only offered on longer cruises." On a 14 day cruise we had it numerous times as our waiter had suggested we could have it "anytime." They had to go a long way to get it from the freezer or something like that..................we had it the night of Baked Alaska, even. I do NOT like the Baked Alaska. The three times I've tried it, all I've been served was the meringue............ick! Never once have I received any ice-cream. I would take Cappucino Bombe every night.:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
