Frozen fish fillet and crab cake? Toast? Whatever those dishes are, they do not look well plated nor very interesting or appetizing. Hope there are better choices than this. Agree, the top photos look like croquettes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I thought too when I saw the food pics. Ewww! But, in the end, I trust the judgment of those here who have dined there and confirmed the tastiness of the food. 7 hours ago, les37b said: Waffles? Etual could maybe identify! lol (That event was so funny!) Exactly who I was thinking of when I saw the pics. Trying to get ol’ etual to post here more often as I love his sense of humor.

It looks like "deconstructed cuisine" which I have tried and totally reject. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a totally different level, I found the food at L’Atelier Crenn to be so tortured as to be laughable. Almost as tortured as their story-form menu.

Almost as tortured as their story-form menu. 🤩 I like real & wholesome food from the kitchen, not some mad scientist's lab. I recently saw the 2019 documentary about culinary internship filmed at Mugaritz, a Michelin-starred restaurant in San Sébastien and was so turned off by their food concepts. They turn food into all these strange things and they aim to shock - well, their dish that resembled a used condom certainly did the trick... Apologies for going off topic. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a meal at RC San Francisco…there was at least one gelee in every course! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M&PGermany Posted July 16, 2021 Author #38 Share Posted July 16, 2021 To be honest, I'm not a big fan of molecular cuisine or too-much-over-the-top-three-michelin-star restaurants, either. I prefer restaurants from the "Bib Gourmand" - those who are close to receiving their first Michelin star. But, let's not forget, it's an art form. It's not only about "getting fed". If you go to a restaurant like the above mentioned places, you should know what to expect and to be able to enjoy the amount of work that has been put into these dishes by mostly young people who are trying to create something really amazing with good products. Having travelled all over the U.S. for the past 30 years I can say that the "food culture" there, is in my view: problematic. I would love to try the S.A.L.T. dishes that have been posted above and will certainly do so on my upcoming voyage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare spinnaker2 Posted July 16, 2021 #39 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I remember the old adage that you eat with your eyes first… However, no criticism of the photographer, but I think the photos do not do justice to the food at SALT. The food is good and the concept is lovely. How it plays out over the next sailings which may not be in Greece will be interesting to watch. We enjoyed what we ate at SALT while we were aboard. Fortunately no TANG, but in giving it some thought, TANG does look like a MIMOSA. HMMMMMMM. If you put TANG in a champagne glass, garnished with a few raspberries, you would be eating with your eyes first. Or in this case drinking. Would you still taste it? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ronrick1943 Posted July 20, 2021 #43 Share Posted July 20, 2021 We have some friends on a cruise now and say SALT was outstanding, they really enjoyed it. Sorry to say the ship we’ll be sailing on doesn’t have SALT yet—hope they add it company wide for the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
