I had scallops and veal chop(salad on the side) very good. OH had snails and duck also good.

Latitudes voucher(before we found out we could use it anywhere) Good Call, we went a few weeks ago on the Escape, worst meal I have ever had by far. My daughter and I made the best of it and had a good laugh about it. Cagney's was much better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latitudes voucher(before we found out we could use it anywhere) Have always loved Le Bistro. On recent cruises Gem and Escape had a chance to try the new menu. Loved that veal chop w/peppercorn sauce, the filet Rossini with foie gras, the lobster Thermidor (upcharge), fruits de mer and someone else raved about the duck. For apps, I would agree with Nina about the escargots choice! The onion soup has been changed and lacks that great cheese like before. Server had me try the mushroom soup and it was amazing. Onion soup used to be my favorite. The salmon wrapped crab was tasty as well. Went several times including with 2 guests on 2 separate visits since voucher covered 2. Rest of the time went solo. They also loved their meal. Australian guest said it was one of the best meals she had had anywhere. Too bad they dropped the choc. fondue - other than the poached pear I didn't find a dessert that wowed me although guest raved about strawberry meringue "island." Why would NCL drop their signature dessert?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
