On our Italy & Greece cruise this summer we had the pleasure of spending an slow evening over dinner at Remy. An adult-exclusive restaurant serving fine French fare, Remy offers the most luxurious dinner experience on board.
Dining at Remy is like being transported to an authentic fine-dining restaurant in the City of Lights. Reminiscent of the well-appointed dining rooms of Chef Arnaud’s native Paris, Remy is softly lit and designed in a timeless art nouveau style featuring soft greens, rich reds and gold tones. Graceful, sinuous lines adorn the chairs, glass carvings and wall etchings, as sweeping floral and leaf designs embellish the carpet and lighting.
The experience starts the moment you walk into the restaurant along a large wall of wine. Your host points out two very special bottles featured in Ratatouille.
Adding to the sophisticated ambience, tables are set with Frette linens, Riedel glassware, Christofle silverware and china created exclusively for the restaurant.
For an added dollop of Disney magic, Remy—the character from the hit Disney·Pixar film Ratatouille—appears in artful ways throughout the restaurant’s design, such as on chair backs, in lighting and on the uphostery.
Dinner begins with a complimentary “Collette,” a chilled Champagne cocktail prepared at your table. It was absolutely delicious and my favorite cocktail I enjoyed on board.
A quick glance at the seasonal menu reveals Chef Arnaud’s culinary influence throughout, with multiple tasting courses celebrating the sea, the earth and fresh ingredients culled from the world market. Artfully prepared dishes include such delicacies as langoustine, duck, elk, sablefish and Kobe beef. Guests also get to enjoy the global offerings of a gourmet cheese trolley, an extensive wine menu and after-dinner coffee service.
Castaway Club members may recall that Remy was a prix fixe experience. Like Palo, Remy now offers an a la carte menu in addition to the prix fixe option.
A la Carte
When dining in Remy with a friend on a previous cruise, we chose the a la carte option and were able to enjoy delicious dishes, a lower price point overall, AND we didn’t feel completely gorged after a 3-hour meal. Everything was exceptionally beautiful and absolutely scrumptious.
Prix Fixe
Honey, John and I decided to go for the prix fixe. We did one Saveur, one Gout and one modified prix fixe to exclude any seafood at John’s request.
We all tried everything, but ended up loving his modified menu the best of all!
Dessert was nearly a meal in and of itself!
Advance reservations are required and a strict dress code is in place. I do not have one bad thing to say about this dining experience. It’s a must do for foodies! I encourage all of my cruise clients on 4-night sailings or longer to make a night to enjoy an adult exclusive dining experience!
