shout19661966 Posted November 28, 2021 #26 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Agreed on the french onion soup in Le Bistro, just got off the gem this morning. Some other foods i can say were top notch. I will only mention the buffet and main dining room lunch as others have touched on alot of the other spots Buffet. Pizza was very good memories of pre covid it was poor. Pasta Bolognese was very tasty. Little Potatos Circles for breakfast Reg Sausage for breakfast Lemon butter Butter fish delicious French Fries all places seems they fry them on the gem. Every Meat item on the cutting board too many to remember. Beef wellington was very good salads were good too Lunch main dining room Philly cheese steak sandwich no peppers extra cheese awesome Fish sandwich made by O'sheehans very good salads were good Desserts Top 3 Tiramisu La Cucina Apple pie w/vanilla ice cream O'sheehans Chocolate Cake Cagney' s Ice Cream was below average this time do to quality issues too soft and too icey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare tammyjw305 Posted November 28, 2021 #27 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Pre-covid -- the chicken nachos in the lunch MDR. Does anyone know if they are still on the menu? Also, has the MDR been open for lunch if there are no sea days (one is a late port start -- 12pm)? I second some that others have mentioned -- Le Bistro filet, MDR lava cake, and caesar salad. O'Sheehan's hot wings. Tammy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BennyBrun Posted December 5, 2021 #31 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I don’t think the pork chop gets enough love at the steakhouse. I had it on the EPIC and it was amazing!!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKR2011 Posted December 5, 2021 #33 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Lots of favorites: - Pesto Pasta and Pretzel Rolls from Garden Cafe - Friuts de Mer (miss the original though 🙁) and Escargot at Le Bistro - Shrimp & Scallops at Teppanyaki - Pepperota Hummus and Peanut Butter Cheesecake from MDH Lunch - Wings from O'Sheehan's - Tableside Guacamole from Los Lobos - Everything at Pincho's...Seriously, take me back to The Escape. Best restaurant ever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystlvylt1 Posted December 6, 2021 #34 Share Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) Did the Encore this September and the filet/shrimp combo at the Teppanyaki was amazing. Giant shrimp and very tender filet. Can’t wait to compare to the Bliss in January! Ditto on the Indian food noted above at GC ☺️ Edited December 6, 2021 by crystlvylt1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then in 2019, we were on the Gem for 14 days and they only served it a few times. He was very unhappy. We just got off a 14 day cruise on the Breakaway. We had lava cake the first night and he asked if it would be on the menu every night. They said no. He went into great detail about his love of lava cake. Someone at Taste put in a standing order for lava cake for him. So every night we were at Taste or the Manhattan Room, we automatically got lava cake. And on top of that, the chef sent the official recipe to our cabin so I can make it here at home. Now THAT is what I call great customer service! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the first spot I got to on embarkation day. They have a good rotation of dishes (both meat and vegetarian) throughout the week. So good. I would venture to say it is the best indian food I have had around the world. I would use to that it was the UK. On the ship, I know it's safe and clean to eat and it's delicious. I still think of their beef curry. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notworkste Posted December 7, 2021 #38 Share Posted December 7, 2021 On Escape they had paninis that were really good at Garden cafe, much better than they looked. Tuna one day, chicken fajita one day, ham and cheese. Surprisingly good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kfamilycruise Posted December 14, 2021 #41 Share Posted December 14, 2021 (edited) I second the Indian food rave on the Encore buffet! Pretzel rolls everywhere on NCL! I think our favorites are: pork belly appetizer on Haven menu, Tahitian vanilla French toast (Haven breakfast), NY strip, lamp chops, and fries at Cagney's, The amazing offerings at Moderno and the lobster roll from the outside kiosk for ocean blue!

travelnap Posted December 14, 2021 #42 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Another vote for the Indian food at the buffet. I have found them to be quite good on any of the buffets on any of the ships that I have sailed. Just the right amount of spice to let you know that it is good Indian cuisine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricksurf Posted December 14, 2021 #43 Share Posted December 14, 2021 The Lamb Chops in LeBistro and the Cauliflower and Scallop Soup. The Daily Ravioli Appetizer in the MDR on the Jade were amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent some time in India, and it always seems weird to me when someone mentions "beef" and "curry" together. There was certainly no beef on the menu at any restaurants I visited in India! Even the burgers were made with chicken or beans.... I will have to seek out the Indian food at the buffet on my upcoming cruises! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigrednole Posted December 15, 2021 #49 Share Posted December 15, 2021 I like reading all of this. I haven't been on an NCL cruise and only one on Carnival. Is it sad that I am looking forward to chicken wings and beer at O'Sheehan's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
