ShelleyQT Posted June 12, 2021 #1 Share Posted June 12, 2021 DH and I LOVE to eat at Le Bistro. We usually eat there twice in a 7 day cruise. I've been really looking forward to eating there again in our next cruise, coming up for New Years. I watched the NCL videos for the return to service after Covid, and they spent a lot of time talking about how much they are changing the menu at Le Bistro. In the same breath, they talk about how Le Bistro is the most popular specialty restaurant in their fleet. If it's so popular, why do they want to change the menu so much? I understand refreshing it a bit, but I hope they don't change it too much. I still haven't gotten over the time that they removed the cream from the "cream sauce" in the mussels appetizer. 😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they are not making huge changes. This is hands down, my favorite speciality restaurant. My DH and I eat at least 2 times during our cruise at Le Bistro. I dream about this place. Hard to find a really good French restaurant in the area I live in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare KeithJenner Posted June 12, 2021 #3 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I wouldn’t be too worried. No marketing department is going to let anyone say “we’ve made some changes to the Le Bistro menu, but not too much has changed really. It’s basically the same menu with a few minor differences”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKWildcatCruiser Posted June 12, 2021 #4 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I agree. I watched the video too and frankly the food didn’t look nearly as good. They even changed the desserts which were divine! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old & Retired Posted June 12, 2021 #5 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Dollars to donuts the passengers will pay more for less. NCL is DEEPLY in debt. The revenue has to come from somewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrumpyNor Posted June 13, 2021 #7 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I actually enjoy it when a favorite restaurant (both on ships and ashore) is offering a new menu, as I love to try new dishes and find new favorites. Change does not always mean to the worse.... 😊 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisekitty22 Posted June 13, 2021 #10 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I too, want the mushroom soup to stay also. Favorite thing to eat on the ship. It's always our first night dinner stop LeBistro! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebeccac Posted June 13, 2021 #11 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Just goes to show you, how everybody's taste in food is super subjective. Le Bistro was my least favorite specialty restaurant on our Getaway cruise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dobiemom Posted June 13, 2021 #13 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I had the most WONDERFUL Chocolate Napolean at Le Bistro. Two years later, it was not on the menu. I hope it comes back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

step78 Posted June 13, 2021 #15 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Getaaways Le Bistro was awesome in 2019. Hope to see a Le Bistro back soon. There will ever be something found to enjoy! First thing we plan is our evening there 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crown Vic Posted June 13, 2021 #16 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Have always enjoyed Le Bistro even when NCL brought in A La Carte pricing. Here is Le Bistro menu from the Norwegian Joy in January 2020. Ouch! (Found this menu online) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psac Posted June 13, 2021 #18 Share Posted June 13, 2021 On our last Encore trip in 2019 Le Bistro was not good at all. It was our favorite in every NCL trip before then. These things change all the time, maybe it’ll be for the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzsnooze Posted June 13, 2021 #19 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I think the prices are high. I prefer the fixed price with a limit of one selection per category. I've already paid for dinner in the main dining room so that makes me think twice before paying twice for dinner. My favorite had been Moderno.

booklady26 Posted June 13, 2021 #21 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Dinner at Le Bistro is a great perk for being Platinum. I always had a hard time choosing between the Dover sole and rack of lamb, both of which were outstanding. Now, both are priced over $35, which is the max limit for an entree in the Platinum dinner perk. It was only about 4 or 5 years ago when the limit was $20 and no entree except the lobster (which isn't even on this more recent menu) was priced above that.
