sppunk Posted April 13, 2016 #2 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Great find, thank you! Just made reservations for a Sunday night (for the lamb special mmmhmmm) on our November cruise. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkacruiser Posted April 13, 2016 #3 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I think the Sel de Mer's menu is most interesting and like the concept of different special entrees on different evenings. One menu item I thought odd. Maybe our European friends can "clue me into this combination": Mussels and French Fries. I'd never consider ordering French Fries with Mussels. Is this a "European" thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtl513 Posted April 13, 2016 Author #4 Share Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) Mussels and French Fries. Is this a "European" thing? I know it's popular in Belgium. The potatoes are fried twice and topped with a kind of mayonnaise that's different from ours. They're not like American fries!.

holacanada Posted April 13, 2016 #5 Share Posted April 13, 2016 HI ! About mussels and fries its a very very popular combination in Belgium ! They call it : Moules et Frites. Dining with a couple of cans of beer as an accompaniment ..! For residents of Belgium is also common to eat this dish as a North American that would take a hamburger with fries !!

Holacanada Definitely a Belgium treat. Often there is a choice of broth flavours for the mussels.....and I personally think beer is a must-do accompaniment, though a nice crisp white wine would do (as it often is in the cooking broth).

teamflames Posted April 14, 2016 #16 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Thanks I will go and check this out? How much do they charge for a reservation? Given the a la carte pricing? Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTOW guy Posted April 14, 2016 #17 Share Posted April 14, 2016 and no upfront charge since it is an a la carte menu so we will be charged once we have the dinner and will use our 4* savings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One menu item I thought odd. Maybe our European friends can "clue me into this combination": Mussels and French Fries. I'd never consider ordering French Fries with Mussels. Is this a "European" thing? "Moules frites" are terrific. In Provence, France, the combination is ubiquitous. It's even more so in Belgium, where it's practically the national dish. Try it...the combination is wonderful! I retired to France for a while, and there was a wonderful restaurant in Apt, in the Luberon, that served moules sixteen different ways, but always with frites. The only other offering at this restaurant was steak frites! (The frites have to be cooked correctly...cut into shoestring pieces and deep fried in oil twice; the first time at 350 degrees until the potatoes are softened and nearly translucent. Then remove them from the oil, allow to cool a bit, raise the oil temperature to 375 degrees and cook again until browned and crispy.) Vive la France! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaBands Posted October 16, 2016 #22 Share Posted October 16, 2016 the price shouldn't matter. Especially if you are 4 or 5* and get 50 % off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
