Wonderful food not to miss on RCCL?

[LuAnn]

First time on this cruise line...leaving in about 2 weeks...any not to be missed items from a food stand-point on board?

[Dadofsara]

If your ship has a Chops, don't miss it! Make your reservation as soon as you board. Ask when Caribbean night is in the dining room which is the weakest menu and book Chops. Some of the best food we've ever had!

Welcome LuAnn! Can't-miss-dining is a popular topic on this forum! Here's one thread where it's been discussed recently: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=325315

 

I'm personally partial to the scallop risotto, terrine and grand marnier souffle.

 

Happy cruising!!

[bobbie0253]

I second the Grand Marnier Souffle.

 

Also the Roasted Garlic Soup.

 

French Onion soup.

 

Tomato soup....

 

yep all the soups are amazing!

[PH8]

My vote goes to escargot......

[bobbie0253]

yuck yuck yuck......LOL!!!! :)

[BLUEICE]

Can't for get the desserts:

 

Cheesecake.

 

Did somebody say cheesecake? I will have two pieces please.

[PH8]

WHAT!!!!!!! You don't like snails???????:eek:

[bobbie0253]

Yeah I like them alive! Did I tell you I adore the kids menu? Yes it's true. I have been know to order off it from time to time. Cheese sticks make a great appetizer with fries.

 

 

Cheesecake......yum! The one in Chops is totally amazing. Too bad our next ship doesn't have Chops :(

 

The kids order room service cheesecake every night.

 

Kathy, our 12 year old loves Escargot too....go figure.

Flourless chocolate cake! That's one dessert I never miss.

[PH8]

Since I've never cruised with kids,I havent seen the kids menu.......but I bet they have good stuff on there...........

[GarysGirl]

I always love the tomato soup, the grand marnier souffle, and the flourless chocolate cake. On our last cruise they had a roasted duck dish that was excellent as well.

[Cruisin'40]

Never thought I'd say this but when I cruise RCLL I'm going to try the Escargot! I think the onion tart was another popular item on the other thread. Hmmmm.....snails and onions.

[truffles2]

Key lime pie.

If they have a pasta dish with cremini mushrooms and white truffles...get it!

[Wildroze]

If you are sailing on the Jewel you have to try the crepes in the Solarium Pool. Yummmmmy!!!!

 

I like the hot chocolate cake also.............

[Buccaneergirl]

I love the shrimp cocktail, but I have heard the flourless choc. cake is great! I will definitely get that whan I am on Mariner in 17 days!!!!:)

[k2]

The Key Lime Pie is the best.... I also like the fruit tart and kids steak (believe it or not)!

[westcoastvecs]

chilled strawberry soup

scallop risotto

any dessert souffle

and

the escargot!!!!

YUMMY!

[EggDropErin]

Escargot! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[a-tx-brit]

See if they have 'Sachertorte', they often have it in the windjammer at lunchtime. The best chocolate cake EVER!!!!

[fireguy091]

What is flourless cake?:confused:

[a-tx-brit]

INGREDIENTS:

4 (1 ounce) squares semisweet chocolate, chopped

1/2 cup butter

3/4 cup white sugar

1/2 cup cocoa powder

3 eggs, beaten

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease an 8 inch round cake pan, and dust with cocoa powder.

In the top of a double boiler over lightly simmering water, melt chocolate and butter. Remove from heat, and stir in sugar, cocoa powder, eggs, and vanilla. Pour into prepared pan.

Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely. Slices can also be reheated for 20 to 30 seconds in the microwave before serving.

Isn't flourless cake just a big slab of fudge? :confused: (not that I'm complaining about that :p )

 

Anyone who is afraid to try escargot-- its drowned in so much butter, that's all you really taste, which is also why its sooooooooooo goooooooood!

[thompson4131]

I particularly like the "make your own" salad bar in the Windjammer. Mixed Greens with carrot slivers, cucumber slices, onion and plain balsamic vinager (no oil please). This combination is considered a "negative calorie" food...you burn more calories eating & digesting it than you actually consume.

Like so many other posters, we love the escargot appetizer and will never miss it. A few other "small" things that seem mundane to some but our fav's:

 

Oatmeal in Windjammer (sounds ridiculus, but it really is the best we've ever had)

Coconut Macaroons (not always available, but when they are - yummmmy)

Shrimp Cocktail

Creme Bruelle (sp?) We love this desert

 

I am not a chilled soup person, but have started to try them - and have been impressed.
