Recent dining room favorites

[cruiseorbust]

We have not traveled with Celebrity in the past few years, mostly RCI. When we compare the two, we think of the wonderful Eggs Benedict, Cream Caroline Soup, Homemade Dressings, Homemade Ice Creams, many Beef selections with Bernaise Sauce, etc.....

 

Just wondering what favorites might still be there? What are your favorites that you had recently?

[g-cindy]

I'd like to know too, thinking of trying X, and I would love to know the don't misses and the to die fors.

Hi Donna, I love it too:D

 

For the OP and whoever else.....there are many things

I love about the food.

The chilled fruit soups are wonderful:)

The breadsticks are addicting:)

The French Potatoe Pie on the lunch menu in

in the dining room gets a :) from me as well.

 

Do drinks count? I tried Hypnotique for the first time

on Mercury in March and it is FABULOUS:D

[hcat]

The diining room lunches on Century were all good. Always get rack of lamb in the sepcialty restaurant. Our new favorite is the after dinner Aspen Coffee in the main DR

I never saw the mohr im hemd on my previous cruise. It's on the lunchtime menu, right? If we ask the waiter when it's being served, will he/she know?

[pattyj 1204]

The best dessert ever is the Creme Brule' If that's on the menu I skip salad and soup and order 2 desserts. Yum Yum. Can't wait for my next cruise.

It is on the lunchtime menu according to asst. maitre'd. You may find out from a waiter.

 

Actually I requested it for dinner at late dining. The asst. maitre'd requested it from galley and after a few nights it was served to all eight at our table.

 

I suspect they may have served it on the same day it was served at lunchtime.

[melika091900]

all of the salad dressings were to die for

 

the best is the celebrity dressing, and sherry mustard.....

 

I loved all the salads

 

and all of the beef selections....

 

 

best food on any cruiseline weve been on ,,

the filet mignon was excellent... everything was good, never ate anything i didnt like on celebrity... except a chilled soup.. it just isnt my thing

 

and the pizza was great. and all the fruit appetizers ... yummy

im making myself hungry... LOL

[Glenndale]

Would one of you helpful people please describe this dessert.

Is it like a cheesecake or sponge?

It sounds like my type of pud but I'd love to know more :D

 

Decided to google and found this

 

2-1/8 oz. butter (unsalted)

3/4 oz. powdered sugar

3 egg yolks

1-3/4 oz. white bread, diced

3-1/3 fl. oz. milk

3/4 oz. chocolate

3 egg whites

1/2 oz. granulated sugar

1-3/4 oz. hazelnuts, grated

1-3/4 oz. bread crumbs

1/2 oz. cake flour

 

Whip together butter and powdered sugar. Moisten diced white bread with milk. Add diced bread and chocolate heated gently until liquid to butter mix. Whip egg whites and granulated sugar to an oily consistency, carefully fold the whisked egg whites into the mixture. Stir in flour, bread crumbs and grated hazelnuts. Prepare 6 small pudding molds by buttering the insides and dusting them with bread crumbs. Pour mixture into the molds, place molds in water in a double boiler and finish puddings in a pre-heated 350 degree F oven for about 45 minutes.

 

Unmold puddings onto dessert plates, serve with chocolate sauce and whipped cream.

 

The amounts look rather odd though - maybe someone had attempted to convert grammes to ounces?

[Cote d'or]

Beef : filet mignon with sauce béarnaise, tournedos Rossini (new on the menu) !

Dessert : creme brulée (!), bittersweet chocolat cake.

Any of their scallop dishes, most seafood, bread sticks were great with the salads, salad dressings,didn't have a bad appetizer..and remember shrimp cocktails available every night even if not on menu. Delicious fress shrimp Sauces/gravies on all meat dishes wonderful. We did not enjoy the cold fruit soups as they were often too sweet for us.

Hypnotique!, yes.. We were flying from Houston to Aruba two Springs ago for a week with our best friends. I noticed it in the DF shop and picked a bottle up for our hostess (DW's BF for 25 years).. Needless to say we all 4 drank it all week long and DW still keeps a bottle.

 

2Scots - sailing Mercury in 4 weeks to AK!

2Scots, I saw the bottle in the Navigator Lounge on Mercury

and asked one of the bartenders if I could just have a taste:)

Needless to say, as soon as I tasted it I had him pour me a glass

on the rocks:D ;)

Back in 2000 we sailed RCCL and they had THE most amazing salad dressing. On our last cruise with them they no longer offered it. Now I will be sailing X in July and am wondering if there's ANY chance they will have it?

Sounds good, but never saw it on the X dining room menu.

[mferranti]

In the specialty restaurants, I always like the foie gras appetizer and the Zabaglione dessert.

[OnlyMe]

That's a real pity - it was fabulous!!! ... I'll just have to find a new 'favourite' in July!

[GORDONCHICK]

If anyone is looking for me in the mornings (9/14-9/22), they'd better look at Cafe Cova because I'll be scoping for almond croissants!!! (or the aft deck in the waffle line....)

[Grandma B]

We haven't cruised since the Infinity in 2003, so hope the Constellation in January will have my favorites....

 

the fantastic breadsticks, wonderful homemade sherbet,

cheesecake that melts in your mouth, and Steak Diane

in the specialty restaurant!!!

Try the cold garlic soup --- yum, yum, yummy !

[cruisestitch]

Well, first and last, the waffles.

 

But also the potato and montrachet cheese appetizer

The creme Caroline soup (creamy chicken)

The creamy chicken with corn soup

The mushroom soup

Caesar salads (lunch and dinner)

The turkey dinner (yes, I'm not kidding -- stuffing, yams, all the trimmings)

The crepes Suzette

Bittersweet chocolate cake

 

And don't forget that you can ask for the Vegetarian menu every night --

it has other options, including a very good lasagna.

 

As a matter of fact, I'm going to put that in its own thread -- most people don't know that there's a separate vegetarian menu available every night.

 

Also on our most recent cruise, we had two people of Indian descent who asked the assistant maitre 'd if they could have curry -- he couldn't do it the next night because that was St. Petersburg but the night after, there was their curry.
