Silkroad Posted May 4, 2019 #252 Share Posted May 4, 2019 (edited) Two people (staff) at le Grande Bistro said that there are no plans to discontinue lunches. There will be a brunch once per 7-day cruise, so on this TA we'll have two brunches. Lunch was $20 pp, included the entire menu (except beverages) and was very filling.

It sounded like they were discontinuing the lunch because of lack of diners. It was packed when we were on. Is lunch going to be every day except the brunch day? Are they doing breakfast every day that there isn't a brunch? I also had the Coq Au Vin and thought it was delicious! You really have to plan accordingly, when you eat lunch there - we had dinner late and ordered lighter items. We loved Paris when we went a few years ago and the Bistro does a pretty good job of making you feel you are there, though we liked the ocean view seats. 🙂 The croissants aren't quite as buttery and flaky as the real deal, but pretty darn close! Happy Anniversary!! 👩❤️👨 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Anniversary!! 👩❤️👨 We arrived early because we wanted a window table, and people seemed to arrive in a steady stream. It wasn't packed, but it certainly wasn't empty. We thought it an excellent value for a break from the much larger OVC. There will be lunch or brunch every day. As I mentioned, we'll have two brunches on this 15-day cruise. One staff member confirmed that breakfast is no longer served, but I'll double check. There are pastries available for purchase, but I'm not sure if they're takeaway only. Haha one thing that disturbed the ambiance was the quite LOUD daily trivia being held in the Grand Plaza. Good grief! Ulysses S. Grant, wherever he may be, heard that trivia announcement loud and clear! Ahh well, in Paris it would have been taxi horns and buzzing mopeds lol. Thanks for the anniversary wishes:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the daily special (Coq au Vin) and DH had the trout. Attaching photos of our mains, both of which were very good. We spent part of our honeymoon "á Paris" and we're celebrating our anniversary on this cruise:-) No better way to celebrate an anniversary than in Paris or “Paris by the Sea”. Happy anniversary, the coq au vin looks divine!🥂 Edited May 4, 2019 by Oville 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the anniversary wishes:-) So funny about the GP trivia. We had the trivia during one of our lunches in LGB, but it was Michael Reddon (guitarist/singer) doing live music trivia so very enjoyable!! He would play/sing a clip from a song and people would have to guess - we played along during lunch. Maybe they should do that always during lunch time. A very cool experience! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully I had some blue and yellow silk flowers in our guest room that nicely wrapped around a beach hat. Now if the other ladies had clued me in on the dress code color of the night...

Okay, I just checked the dailies from my Jan cruise and we only had breakfast in LGB on the 2 sea days and no brunches offered, so not a big difference. I imagine the brunch is probably has crepes and other breakfast items. This was our breakfast in there. My DH loved the croissant egg sandwich - the best ever - and my crepe was lovely. The bloody Mary's were nice as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still trying to fit in/justify another Edge cruise before Apex but that is tough to do. Once we are back in New England it’s hard to get us out, leaving in 12 days, still chilly there but so looking forward to being back home.

It's time to start planting the garden. 🙂 It's funny, but that breakfast picture brought back fond memories of our last full day on the Edge. MisterBill was there too and ate next to us. It was a fun breakfast - good times... darn, I don't know if I can wait 251 more days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You so benefit this time of year being inland but of course if the wind shifts you’ve got the chilly lake. All that said, our attraction to the Edge is there. J said a couple of days ago our January 2020 Viking Ocean Cultural Cuba Cruise might be a bit to sedate for us after Edge😀😉 Edited May 7, 2019 by Oville 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
