Rare NorbertsNiece Posted October 9, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I've been thinking about the 'new' menu and what would comprise the perfect meal for me. I'll be honest..... I struggled. Notwithstanding my intolerance to gluten.... I can stomach some (pun intended) I decided to daydream my perfect meal and realised I'd recently eaten it, on Oasis. But not in the MDR. I've eaten at Chef's Table, Chops (more than once), Giovanni's, Vintages, Portofino's (more than once), Izumi, Solarium Bistro. Lucky me. Different ships. Best meal out of everywhere..... 150 Central Park. So here's my perfect 3 course meal. Pics are the GF version. The meal was 6 courses but I'm designing a 3 course meal. First course : Asparagus : roasted and raw, mint, citrus, yogurt, greens Entree : They didn't make me the short rib but some other beef delight.... filet? Was on a butternut squash puree and I asked for (and got) more of that..... best steak I have ever eaten. Period. Dessert Milk Chocolate Cremeaux : with pickled cherries..... I totally crumbled with the flavour and texture of this..... it's normally served with a croissant crisp. Hands down I thought Portofino's Tiramisu was the dessert of my dreams..... no more.... What's your perfect RCL 3 course meal? MDR or Specialty. Mix restaurants up if you want..... when they get it right they can really get it right.....

arewethereyet Posted October 9, 2014 #6 Share Posted October 9, 2014 The best filet mignon I've ever had was in Chops on FOS. In case you wonder, I've probably eaten, at very least, hundreds of filet mignon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big al Posted October 10, 2014 #13 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I would have the Crab Cakes from Chops as the appetizer ..then those little different SALTS from all over the world to try from 150 Central Park..then the NY Strip from Chops with Lyonnaise Potatoes & creamed asparagus..breads from Portifinos...dessert would be Creme Brulee or Baked Alaska...FYI- my 2 favorite desserts are Carnival's Chocolate Melting cake & Norwegian's Fruit Fondue in Le Bistro- a half a pineapple with the bottom carved out, filled with 6 or 7 different kinds of fruit..then you dip it in a HOT CHOCOLATE fondue...Le Bistro is my favorite dining venue along with Disney's Palo on all cruise ships... a great meal, great views, and a trip to the Medical Center after dinner insures you had a great meal!!

Rare BillOh Posted October 10, 2014 #14 Share Posted October 10, 2014 The best meal I ever had wasn't on any other menu I have seen. It was Jewel OTS back in April 2012 when she was sailing out of Tampa. There was a Parmesan crusted Turkey breast and Jalapeno Potato Soup. i've never seen it anywhere else.

If DD3 hadn't move back in you could have the spare room! Just chatting to someone from a previous rollcall who is flying over for the Oasis TA then Quantum inaugural..... love meeting up with cruise friends even if I'm not cruising.... It's interesting from the list of perfect meals so far that there's not many duplicates.... I'm trying to build the perfect RCL menu, something for everyone...

RazorbackIslandGirl Posted October 10, 2014 #22 Share Posted October 10, 2014 My perfect meal was at 150 Central Park until last March. We were on the Serenade & did the Chef's Dinner. That meal edged out 150 CP meal for my #1 spot. YUMMY!!! Too bad no two are alike. I would LOVE to experience that exact meal again!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
