Celebrity Beyond Restaurants With Menus

We are back from a recent cruise on Celebrity's new ship and have put together this complete Celebrity Beyond Restaurants Guide with menus.

Share this post:

Celebrity Cruises’ newest ship, Celebrity Beyond, just made her debut in the United States, and we set sail on her first cruise from Fort Lauderdale. Now, we are back and have put together this Celebrity Beyond Restaurants Guide with menus so you can see what is available at the different restaurants onboard this latest Edge Class ship.

Celebrity Beyond Restaurants Guide With Menus

Complimentary celebrity beyond restaurants.

There are several dining options on the list of Celebrity Beyond restaurants that are included in your cruise fare. These include not one or two but four complimentary main dining rooms. There is also your typical cruise ship buffet, Oceanview Cafe, as well as the Eden Cafe for sandwiches and the Mast Grill for burgers.

If you are staying in a suite, you will have access to the Retreat and its exclusive Restaurant, Luminae. Similarly, if you are staying in an Aqua Class cabin, you have your own exclusive restaurant, Blu.

Celebrity Select Dining Anytime on Celebrity Beyond

With Celebrity Select Dining Anytime, cruisers have the option to dining at any and all of the four complimentary dining venues. Each of these restaurants features the same list of signature dishes that rotate nightly as well as a list of classic dishes the remain the same throughout the cruise.

Where these restaurants differ is the exclusives section of the menu. This section offers select dishes that are inspired by a certain global flavor. For instance, Normandie’s menu features exclusive French dishes. These options also remain the same for the entire cruise.

These dining venues are open nightly from 5:30 to 9 PM. Cruisers can make reservations pre-cruise or choose to walk up when they are hungry. We did both options and never waited long for a table.

Every morning of your cruise, one of the MDRs is also open for breakfast. The restaurant normally opens around 7:30/8 AM until 9/9:30 AM. This venue serves all your typical breakfast selections in a sit-down format.

Further, the main dining room offers lunch from around noon to 1:30 PM on sea days.

MDR Breakfast Menu | MDR Lunch Menus | MDR Dinner Menus (Signature Menus)

Normandie (Deck 3)

Normandie is the complimentary French-inspired main dining room on Celebrity Beyond. With décor influenced by summertime in Paris, this restaurant features warm pink and red tones, ornate chandeliers, and large accent furniture.

The exclusive menu items include dishes like baked brie, beef tenderloin, pan seared duck, and more.

Normandie Exclusive Menu

Tuscan (Deck 3)

Tuscan is the complimentary Italian restaurant on Celebrity Beyond. The venue is designed with influence from modern Italian fashion and film, with mostly black and white décor with pops of yellow.

The exclusive menu items include tuscan shrimp soup, eggplant bruschetta, a tuscan pork chop, strozzapreti carbonara, and more.

Tuscan Exclusive Menu

Cafe al Bacio (Deck 4)

This coffee house located on Deck 4 of Celebrity Beyond is the perfect spot to grab a specialty coffee (included in the Celebrity beverage packages) and a sweet treat any time of day. All pastries are complimentary and change throughout the day.

Cafe al Bacio features continental breakfast items in the morning to cakes and other items later in the day. Unlike some other atrium cafes, this venue does not offer sandwiches or other such “lunch” items.

The venue is typically open from 6/6:30 AM to midnight.

Cafe al Bacio Menu

Cosmopolitan (Deck 4)

Cosmopolitan is the most similar to the typical main dining room experience that you find on most cruise ships. From the walk-through wine display at the entrance to the venue’s warm décor, you will feel right at home here.

Cosmopolitan’s exclusive menu items include salmon gravalax, oxtail, pan seared black cod, and carrot cake.

Cosmopolitan Exclusive Menu

Cyprus (Deck 4)

Cyprus is the Greek-themed complimentary main dining room on Celebrity Beyond. The color palette has been updated in this venue from the other Edge Class ships to now feature regal red and gold tones with nods to the sea.

Representing the company’s Greek heritage, the exclusive menu remains focused on seafood and other Mediterranean dishes like cheese saganaki, grilled octopus, lamb shank, and short ribs.

Cyprus Exclusive Menu

Blu (Deck 5)

Blu is the exclusive restaurant for Aqua Class guests on Celebrity Cruises. This intimate space features elegant blue and white décor, alongside a menu with cleaner, healthier options.

Blu is open for breakfast and dinner daily. The venue is usually open for breakfast from around 7:30/8 AM to 9/9:30 AM. Blu is open for dinner from 5:30 to 9 PM nightly.

The dinner menu does change nightly, offering guests plenty of choices if they choose to dine here each evening.

Blu Breakfast | Dinner Menus

Eden Cafe (Deck 5)

Found only on Edge Class ships, this casual and complimentary venue is open for breakfast and lunch. The Eden Cafe is a nice change of pace from the buffet. The location allows for beautiful aft views and some comfy furniture to go along with it. There is also limited al fresco seating on both sides of the ship.

Offering warm breakfast sandwiches and a few other favorites like homemade cinnamon buns, this is a great morning stop for a quick bite. The Eden Cafe is open for breakfast on sea days from around 8 to 9:30 AM.

For lunch, the venue has paninis, warm and cold sandwiches, a few specialty salads, and a daily carved sandwich. The venue is open for lunch daily from noon to 1:30 PM.

Eden Cafe Breakfast | Lunch

Spa Cafe and Juice Bar (Deck 14)

Located on Deck 14 in the Solarium, the Spa Cafe and Juice Bar serves up healthy options as an alternative to the buffet for breakfast and lunch.

The Spa Cafe is open for breakfast approximately 7 to 10 AM and for lunch from noon to 2 PM. Featuring small plates and smoothies (covered in the Premium Beverage Package), this is the perfect spot for a quick bite to eat while relaxing on a sea day.

Spa Cafe Breakfast Menu | Spa Cafe Lunch Menu

Mast Grill (Deck 14)

This outdoor, casual eatery is a great place to grab some lunch or a midday snack while lounging poolside. Serving up burgers and fries and some other grill favorites, the Mast Grill on Deck 14 is open daily from 11 AM to 6 PM.

It offers some tables in the shade, or you can just grab a snack and head back to your lounge chair on the Resort Deck.

Mast Grill Menu

Oceanview Cafe (Deck 14)

The Oceanview Cafe is your typical cruise ship buffet located on Deck 14 aft. This casual dining spot offers traditional favorites as well as cuisine from around the world with a menu that varies daily.

For breakfast (which usually runs from 6:30 AM to 10 AM), there is your typical selection of eggs, pancakes, custom omelets, breakfast meats, pastries, fresh fruit, and various continental breakfast options. Late risers can grab select options from 10 to 11 AM as well.

Lunch is usually available from noon to 2:30 PM. Dinner is offered in the Oceanview Cafe 6 to 9:30 PM, with pasta, pizza, and salad available until 1 AM.

This venue serves a wide variety of globally inspired cuisines in a casual setting. The options do rotate, but you can find a grill, Indian specialties, Latin favorites, cheese and cold cuts, a pasta station, a salad bar, and more. For dinner, there are also various themed nights.

The Oceanview Cafe offers plenty of comfy indoor seating as well as al fresco dining that blends seamlessly with the newly designed, two-story Sunset Bar.

Further, located inside the Oceanview Cafe is il Secondo Bacio and the Oceanview Bar for all your beverage needs.

We are not huge fans of buffet-style dining, so we only ate here a couple times for breakfast and lunch. The food was pretty standard, and the crowds were manageable.

Luminae (Deck 16)

Luminae at The Retreat is the exclusive restaurant for suite guests on Celebrity Cruises. On Celebrity Beyond, this venue features a unique new design by Kelly Hoppen that’s as bold as the cuisine served here.

This private restaurant has been moved to the front of the ship and now offers panoramic floor-to-ceiling views for guests to enjoy during every meal.

Luminae is open for breakfast (7:30/8 to 9/9:30 AM), lunch on sea days (noon to 1:30 PM), and dinner (5 to 9:30 PM).

The menu at Luminae does rotate and offers more upscale selections than the main dining rooms. Some featured items include dishes designed by chef Daniel Boulud, the cruise line’s Global Culinary Ambassador.

Specialty Restaurants on Celebrity Beyond

With so many great offerings, you certainly do not have to pay extra for dining on Celebrity Beyond (if you don’t want to). Though, this new ship also offers a plethora of specialty restaurants that are worth a try, including a venue that is brand new to the Celebrity Cruises fleet.

If you plan to dine at any of these restaurants, you should make reservations pre-cruise, as popular dining times and restaurants do fill up quickly. We tried to switch a specialty restaurant reservation once onboard the ship and were not successful due to its popularity.

Le Voyage (Deck 4)

New to Celebrity Beyond is the specialty restaurant Le Voyage. This restaurant is in partnership with chef Daniel Boulud, the cruise line’s Global Culinary Ambassador. Travel is the inspiration for the menu, featuring a variety of global flavors.

This exquisite and intimate restaurant is nestled in the heart of the ship on Deck 4. This meal was one of the highlights of our dining on Celebrity Beyond. Some popular dishes include the Tamarind and Peanut-Crusted Prawns and the Brazilian Moqueca.

At Le Voyage, guests can opt for a set 5-course meal for $125 or choose their own selections for an appetizer, entrée, and dessert for $75. There is also an optional wine pairing for an additional $100.

Le Voyage Menu

Le Grand Bistro (Deck 4)

This French-inspired eatery on Deck 4 offers specialty dining for lunch. At night, the venue turns into Le Petit Chef, a digitally enhanced dinner experience which includes a four-course meal and a “show”.

Le Petit Chef on Celebrity Beyond does have a different show and menu than the other Edge Class ships. During this show, we learned “How to Become the World’s Greatest Celebrity Chef”. Unfortunately, the show nor the menu items were a favorite of ours. Still, this digitally-enhanced meal is always a fun time.

For lunch, Le Grand Bistro is priced $30 and is open noon to 1:30 PM. Menu options include moules-frites, escargot, baguette sandwiches, soups, steak frites, and more, in addition to a daily special.

Le Petit Chef is available at 6 PM and 8 PM nightly for a cost of $60. Of note, this is a set menu, but there is an alternate menu that does not go along with the show.

Le Grand Bistro Menu | Le Petit Chef Menu

Fine Cut Steakhouse (Deck 5)

Perhaps one of the most upscale steakhouses at sea, Fine Cut on Celebrity is certainly a slice above other similar venues. This restaurant offers succulent starters like a Lobster Cocktail and Ricotta Gnocchi. Further, the several premium cuts of beef pair well with gourmet sides like Bacon Mac and Cheese and Gruyere Tater Tots.

With a sleek, sophisticated dining room overlooking the Grand Plaza, this up-charge restaurant is open nightly 5:45 to 9 PM for a cover charge of $60. Of note, there is an additional $20 charge for additional entrée orders.

Like our previous experiences, our meal at Fine Cut did not disappoint. Since I don’t eat steak, I’ll take the hubby’s word that it is one of the best steakhouses at sea.

Fine Cut Menu

Raw on 5 (Deck 5)

This a la carte restaurant on Deck 5 offers a variety of seafood favorites including sushi, mussels, the famous seafood platters, and other land “meats” sea options.

With a fresh and open dining room concept offering ocean views, you can enjoy lunch here on sea days from noon to 1:30 PM and dinner nightly 5:45 to 9 PM.

Raw on 5 Menu

Eden Restaurant (Deck 5)

Perhaps the most unique restaurant on Celebrity’s Edge Class ships is the Eden Restaurant. On Celebrity Beyond, this restaurant now offers both a 7-course tasting menu or you can choose your own appetizers, entrée, and dessert.

The price to dine at Eden is $60, and the venue is open nightly from 5:45 to 9 PM. Of note, you do not need to dine at the restaurant to enjoy the nightly performances in Eden.

Eden Restaurant Menu

Rooftop Garden Grill (Deck 15)

Located on Deck 15, this al fresco restaurant features some mouth-watering options fresh off the grill. Situated in the Rooftop Garden, you will have fantastic views while you dig into classics like baby-back spareribs, roasted chicken, and other BBQ favorites in this sophisticated alcove.

This al fresco restaurant offers cruisers a unique dining experience with some newly added wind protection for an upcharge of $25 for lunch and $45 for dinner. The venue is open select days for lunch and nightly for dinner from 5:45 to 9 PM.

Thanks for this in-depth description of restaurant options on board the Celebrity Beyond! We have a cruise planned for September 2023, and I was having difficulty understanding which meals / locations were complimentary and which were not, as well as approximate projected costs. Extremely grateful for your post, it helped me a lot!

Thank you for posting the MDR menu. We are booked for July 2024 with our daughter, husband and 2 boys, age 14 and 12. Is there anything for kids on this cruise? We could not even find a ping pong table. They are not into “kids” programs, but love arcades, mini golf and just hanging with family. I am afraid we made a huge mistake to book this cruise, but the Next Cruise booking on RCI said it is a good choice for family’s. I am a wreck worrying about them having a good time. They don’t like sports, more into toned down cruising.

Your YouTube vlogs and your posts on your website, absolutely never disappoint. Thank you!

Celebrity Beyond - Main Dining Questions - HELP

By Canada17 , January 7, 2023 in Celebrity Cruises

Recommended Posts

We are long time Celebrity cruisers, but this will be our first cruise on an Edge class ship. We are on a b2b on Beyond starting Feb12 and are looking for help/info on the Main dining rooms. We understand the 4 themed restaurants and how the menus work, specifically that every restaurant has an exclusive menu that stays the same throughout the cruise, plus the “regular daily Celebrity menu” which changes daily, plus the Celebrity Classics menu (the latter 2 are available at all 4 themed dining rooms.

We are confirmed to have Select Early Seating, soooooo….does that mean Celebrity has confirmed seating for us at 1 of the themed restaurants for all 7 days of our cruise or have they seated us at a different themed dining room each day. And if Celebrity has seated us at 1 dining room for the whole cruise, how do we make changes so that we get to experience each of the themed restaurants???  HELP!

PS - tried calling Celebrity direct, but the people answering do not even understand how the themed dining rooms work or that they even exist on Beyond!

Word on the street is that the MDRs on the Edge-class ships are all select (anytime) now. Just choose a dining room and show up when you want to eat.

Yikes, I'd not go into HELP mode quite yet, you can easily resolve this on the ship, just check with any one of the MDR's and they will easily asssist.

On Edge in 2021 & Apex last year we showed up

when & where we wanted.

All anytime dining now on the Beyond  and it’s even reported all E class ships.   You do not need reservations just go to any of the dining rooms when you are ready to dine.  If you would like to make reservation you can do that in the Cruise Planner, under dining go the very end and you will the 4 MDRs listed.

Correct, there's no longer set early or late seating, despite what you may have reserved when you booked your cruise.

Thanks Jelayne, value your response as you are regularly providing info on these boards. Followed your advice and found the 4MDRs in the cruise planner, but couldn’t make any reservations because it says that we have been booked for 6pm, it just doesn’t say where, hence my “frustration”.

We had a card in our stateroom suggesting a time and dining room for the first evening (we booked select on Apex , but you'll have select, too).

I was on a B2B on Beyond a few weeks ago. It’s beautiful! I loved it. As another poster indicated, you can just go to any of the four when you like. No reservations. I was in AQ and went to Blu most of the time but did manage to get to Cypress and Tuscan. We had a pleasant experience at both and were served by veteran waiters we knew from previous cruises.   

Be sure to try the Eden Cafe for lunch. It’s on 5 aft.

Thx Hrhdhd, so the first night you had a reservation with set time and venue. If you don’t mind me asking, what did you have to do for days 2 to 7? Did you have to make reservations or did Celebrity assign you times and which MDR?

It's  not a reservation time the first night. It's  just a suggestion. We had a time at one of the restaurants  but we went to another one at a different time and there was no problem.  If you want to make ahead reservations  before you board I would call Celebrity services desk and ask for their help. They should be able to do this for you if you're  not able to do it on the app

As I have told you there are no longer any set dining times. You only have a reservation if you yourself make it. Otherwise you walk-up at the time you want to eat and see if there's a table available right away or you have a short wait. 

We just chose a DR and went there when we were hungry. 😉

We had reservations but there was no separate line for those with reservations as they were seating people as they walked in.  We found it easy to get a table at about 6:40 as those diners heading to the 7pm show were clearing out.  Even managed tables by the window some evenings.

Celebrity 7 Night MDR Menus 2023

by Prof. Cruise · Published February 13, 2023 · Updated February 13, 2023

Today’s post is mostly a selfish one, but I’m hoping it can help others booked on or considering a 7-night Celebrity cruise too. While these menus are available on the Celebrity app, I prefer to have them laid out in one place where I can scroll through without having to click on a bunch of different links. After all, I need to save my finger clicks for booking more cruises.

A few things to note. First, the menus may vary some depending on your particular itinerary , so always double check on the app for the most accurate and up-to-date information for your specific sailing. Second, all the breakfast, lunch, regular dinner, and kids menus are available on every Celebrity ship regardless of class. However, on Edge class ships (Edge, Apex, Beyond, and Ascent), there will be an additional “exclusive” section to the dinner menu each night depending on which of the four main dining rooms you chose to dine in. The four main dining room restaurants (all complimentary and available to dine in any night) are:

Cosmopolitan Cyprus (Greek-themed) Normandie (French-themed) Tuscany (Italian-themed)

I’ve posted the menu items exclusive to those restaurants below the regular dinner menus.

Third, Aqua Class guests can dine at an exclusive restaurant (Blu) for breakfast and dinner and Suite guests can dine at an exclusive restaurant (Luminae) for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I have not posted those menus here, but will include them in a future post (so be sure to check back if you need them).

So, here are the menus…

INDEX (Jump to):

Breakfast Menu Lunch Menus Dinner Menus (all ships) Edge Class Exclusive Dinner Menus Kids Menu

Celebrity Lunch Menus 2023

Celebrity ships usually serve lunch in the main dining room only on sea days .

Celebrity Edge Class Supplemental Dinner Menus 2023

The items on these supplemental menus, available exclusively in each of the four main dining rooms offered on the Edge, Apex, Beyond, and Ascent, will be the same every night in addition to the rotating dinner menus posted above. So, for example, if you choose to dine at the Cosmopolitan dining room on night one of your cruise, you’ll have the night 1 menu presented above PLUS these selections exclusive to the Cosmopolitan:

Celebrity Cosmopolitan Exclusive Dinner Menu 2023

Celebrity Cyprus Exclusive Dinner Menu 2023

These supplemental items will be available every night in the Cyprus main dining room on Edge class ships in addition to the regular rotating dinner menus:

Celebrity Normandie Exclusive Dinner Menu 2023

These supplemental items will be available every night on Edge class ships in the Normandie main dining room in addition to the regular rotating dinner menus:

Celebrity Tuscany Exclusive Dinner Menu 2023

These supplemental items will be available every night on Edge class ships in the Tuscany main dining room in addition to the regular rotating dinner menus:

Celebrity Kids Menu 2023

For kids and full-grown adults who frantically search every menu for mac and cheese, not because their taste buds never developed beyond it, but because it’s delicious and they want some with their marmite diepoise. But speaking of sophisticated tastes, is anyone else disappointed that Jello isn’t on the menu?

And with that…

Class Dismissed!

Celebrity Select Dining

On our Celebrity Edge® Series ships, we may have reinvented the main restaurant experience with four restaurants, but we haven’t changed the way you plan your dining in these restaurants. Now, you can choose Celebrity Select Dining Early or Celebrity Select Dining Late, and you’ll be assigned one of the four main dining restaurants, while having the option to dine in the other three upon request. Choose Celebrity Select Dining Anytime, and you can dine in any of the four restaurants when you want. There’s nothing traditional about dining with us. With Celebrity Select Dining the choice of how you plan your evening meals is up to you.

Cyprus Restaurant

This is a restaurant that’s dear to our hearts, because it represents our company’s Greek heritage. That’s why, on Celebrity Beyond, we’ve enlisted the creative talents of the interior design firm Simeone Deary to give Cyprus Restaurant a fresh new look. Using Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty, as their inspiration, the team created a heavenly ambiance that perfectly combines delicate, airy elements with brilliant gold, sculptural accents. It’s a stately space where gods and goddesses would surely meet for a divine feast fit for… well, gods and goddesses. With its reimagined interior, the mouthwatering menus of Cyprus remain focused on seafood and feature simple, clean dishes that celebrate the food and beverages of the Mediterranean region.

Tuscan Restaurant

Borrowing from the success of our hugely popular specialty dining venue, Tuscan Grille, Tuscan Restaurant elevates those successes to new heights. Step inside and discover Italian inspired cuisine along with an equally delicious ambiance, featuring a modern classical design inspired by Italian fashion and film. 

Normandie Restaurant

Inspired by our elegant Murano specialty dining venue on several of our ships, Normandie Restaurant features contemporary French cuisine in a modern and refined setting that evokes the romance of summertime in Paris, with a color palette reminiscent of cherry blossoms in full bloom. You can truly say Normandie Restaurant is the French quarter of the main dining experience on our Edge Series ships.

Cosmopolitan Restaurant

Mirroring our current main dining experience across our fleet, which is what brings so many of our guests back time and time again, Cosmopolitan Restaurant is the next evolution of our current main restaurants and represents our culinary expertise like no other restaurant can. The walk-through wine display at the entrance sets the scene for the incredible cuisine you’ll enjoy here—new American with a global influence.

Celebrity Cruises food guide: A look at all the restaurants and dining options on board

It's amazing how Celebrity Cruises ' food has changed over the years!

My first Celebrity cruise was on Zenith, the line's second purpose-built ship. It carried fewer than 2,000 passengers. Breakfast and lunch were served in the ship's buffet area, and dinner was served at set times in the main dining room. That was it. There were no specialty restaurants.

Today, Celebrity Cruises ships are much larger — with the smallest being almost twice the gross tonnage Zenith had (91,000 gross tonnes versus 47,000 gross tonnes) — and have far more space devoted to food.

Choices on current Celebrity ships range from complimentary offerings that your cruise fare covers to higher-quality food that comes at an extra cost. With different venues on different ships, all those choices can get confusing. Which Celebrity restaurants will be on your next cruise?

Whether you've cruised with Celebrity recently or are new to the line, you need a food guide to keep up with what's available on which ship. Knowing which food choices each ship has might be a deciding factor in which ship you book.

You might be surprised to learn that food choices can play a big role in which cabin category you choose on Celebrity, as certain cabins and suites grant access to exclusive restaurants and complimentary room service or offer priority seating in specialty venues.

Our Celebrity food guide starts with a list of all the eateries, along with which ships they are found on. After that, you'll find some of the most-asked questions about Celebrity food. Note: Our guide does not cover the Galapagos expedition ships, but you can expect an indoor dining room and a multipurpose alfresco option on each of those ships.

Included for AquaClass guests, space-available basis for Retreat guests; breakfast and dinner

Guests who book an AquaClass spa cabin can access the exclusive restaurant, Blu, for breakfast and lunch. Breakfast is a delight, with fresh fruit smoothies included every day. The dinner menu changes daily, plus you can order from the main dining room menu if you'd prefer.

The cruise line's descriptions of Blu make it sound like it serves spa or healthy food. While there are healthy choices on the menu, I found the menu overall to be more akin to a main dining room's — but with higher-quality food.

For example, breakfast offerings include fresh fruit smoothies each day — nothing fancy with additives like greens or chia seeds similar to what you can purchase at the Spa Cafe, just tasty fruit in a glass. The atmosphere and service are more like a specialty restaurant. Social media posts are filled with cruisers who book AquaClass rooms specifically for the privilege of dining in Blu.

Brunch or Dinner on the Edge

Fixed price; brunch and dinner on select days

These two options are alfresco food experiences, rather than separate restaurants. They are scheduled events that take place on the Magic Carpet elevator positioned on the side of the ship. For these events, the Magic Carpet is stationed next to the pool deck (aka resort deck). The dinner menu includes seafood and chateaubriand.

Available on : Celebrity Apex , Ascent, Beyond and Edge

Cabana food

Included and a la carte; all-day dining

If you rent a deck cabana on the Edge Class ships or an Alcove on the Solstice Class ships, you will be presented with an exclusive food menu. The list includes fruit skewers, snacks and sandwiches.

Available on : Celebrity Apex, Ascent , Beyond, Eclipse, Edge, Equinox, Reflection, Silhouette and Solstice

Cafe al Bacio

Included and a la carte; snacks

Expect typical coffee shop fare, including pastries, cakes, tarts and cookies. A few of these are the same as you would find in the buffet at the Oceanview Cafe, but I found that most are exclusive to Cafe al Bacio. On a recent cruise, I enjoyed eclairs, sugar donuts and a slice of luscious red velvet cake. There are typically three or more cookie choices, while the ice cream area in Oceanview typically only has one.

The baked goods are complimentary; coffee and specialty teas are priced a la carte but are included in both the Classic and Premium beverage packages. A gelato counter is found next to or across from the coffee and snack counter. Unlike the ice cream counter in the buffet area, this gelato comes with an added charge. Captain's Club members receive a free scoop per cruise starting after you earn 2 cruise points or complete your first cruise.

Celebrity Edge Class and Solstice Class ships have a second Cafe al Bacio (called Il Segundo Bacio) located in the Oceanview Cafe buffet area. The menu of drinks (extra charge) matches what you'd find in the main Bacio location on board, which makes it a convenient spot to grab a specialty coffee or glass of wine to accompany your casual meal. Just don't expect the specialty snacks found at the main location; you can pick up snacks at the buffet instead.

Cosmopolitan Restaurant

Included and a la carte; breakfast, lunch on sea days and dinner

This is the point at which Celebrity food choices become confusing. In an effort to break away from the traditional main dining room experience, Celebrity Edge Class ships split the main dining room into four distinctly decorated restaurants, each with a menu that is made up of basics available in all four, plus selections that are exclusive to that restaurant. Guests are assigned to one of the four but may opt to dine at any of the other three at any time they choose.

Cosmopolitan, serving daily breakfast and lunch on sea days, is the one most closely resembling a standard main dining room. The dinner menu changes nightly but includes some items that are always available. There are also premium selections of filet mignon and broiled lobster tail that come with an added charge.

Available on : Celebrity Apex, Ascent, Beyond and Edge

Craft Social

A la carte; all-day dining

They had me at "Mac 'n' Brie." Craft Social is a bar, but it has a somewhat secret bar food menu. It's really only a secret if you don't typically go there to drink. Everyone who frequents the place knows about the good eats.

Cyprus Restaurant

Included and a la carte; dinner

Cyprus is one of the four main dining rooms on Edge Class ships. It features a basic menu that is available in all four dining rooms, plus an exclusive menu of Mediterranean offerings (think: lamb kabobs or coq au vin).

Included; breakfast and lunch

Celebrity offers breakfast and lunch counter service at Eden Cafe during limited hours. It is near the popular specialty dining venue, Eden Restaurant, but the food served at the cafe is complimentary. Specialty coffees and teas like those served at Cafe al Bacio, plus grab-and-go food and lighter fare like soups and salads come with an added charge.

Eden Restaurant

Fixed price; dinner

This is fine dining with an earthy menu featuring seafood, lamb, beef and chicken entrees. Three different dining experiences are available: the main menu, a seven-course tasting menu with optional wine pairings and a seven-course vegan tasting menu with optional organic wine pairings. The dress code is smart casual, so no need to get all dolled up for a meal here.

Fine Cut Steakhouse

Celebrity's version of the American steakhouse features everything you'd expect from a high-end, land-based steakhouse. The menu includes grilled seafood, steaks, chicken and lamb, as well as prime rib. Topping choices range from bearnaise to blue cheese to black truffle butter. Additional entrees come with an extra charge, as do dry-aged beef cuts.

Lawn Club Grill

Fixed price; lunch and dinner

Celebrity puts a twist on backyard barbecue with the Lawn Club Grill. At this grill restaurant, you can sit back and enjoy the view of the ocean beyond the only real grass yard at sea while you wait to be served. The menu includes a full salad bar, custom flatbread pizza appetizers and a list of desserts that makes me want to keep going back until I've tried them all. At the top of my list is the warm chocolate chip cookie, which is not a cookie at all but rather cookie dough baked in a 4-inch ramekin until crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside; it's served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

Available on : Celebrity Reflection and Silhouette

Le Grande Bistro

Fixed price; breakfast, lunch and dinner

Imagine a French sidewalk cafe at sea serving warm croissants with Nutella at breakfast and a daily special that ranges from baked ham sandwiches on French baguettes to pan-seared Dover sole.

Le Petit Chef

The experience at Le Petit Chef goes far beyond the food on the plate. That's because the entire table comes to life with an animated show throughout the meal. The menu is broken into two options: Le Menu Extraordinaire and "The Other Menu." The first features chicken, while the "other" choice is a filet mignon. Both lean toward rich French cuisine.

Included for Retreat guests; breakfast, lunch on sea days and dinner

Expect food that is a notch above even some of the specialty dining options on board. Service is designed to cater to your every need. Breakfast offers a choice of staples, while the lunch and dinner menus rotate daily.

Main dining room

Each non-Edge Class ship in the fleet has a single, multistory main dining room. The main dining room has a different name on each ship. The food is complimentary, except for extra a la carte options available each night. The menu changes daily and is available in the Celebrity app, on your cabin's interactive TV and posted near the dining room.

All Celebrity ships, except the expedition vessels, have the option to choose traditional early and late dining where you sit at the same table at the same time with the same people and the same set of servers each night.

Alternatively, guests can select the line's flexible dining option, called Celebrity Select Anytime Dining. You will be assigned to a specific floor of the dining room (or a specific dining room on Edge Class ships). You can make reservations for specific times each day, which gets you seated quickly and often with the added benefit of dining with the same servers each night. If you do not make reservations, you can show up when you're ready and wait for an available table. Without reservations, you might have to wait a while to be seated. Diners on the flexible plan can ask to try different tables and different servers throughout the week.

Available on : Non-Edge Class ships

Magic Carpet restaurant

A la carte; lunch and dinner

The Magic Carpet is the elevator-style platform attached to the side of all Edge Class ships. When the platform is positioned next to Raw on 5, it features a menu that includes favorites from the Raw on 5 menu but with extras. For example, the lunch menu includes a turkey club sandwich and a lobster roll, as well as fish and chips.

Included; lunch and dinner

The Mast Grill is your go-to spot for poolside burgers and hot dogs along with all the toppings, fries and onion rings. It's ideal for a quick alfresco bite before or after a port excursion.

Murano serves French cuisine in a fine dining setting. Guests have the choice of the five-course tasting menu called "Five Senses" or their own starter and entree, among a broad selection of meat, poultry and fish options. Caviar is available at market price.

Available on : Celebrity Eclipse, Equinox, Reflection, Silhouette, Solstice and Summit

Normandie Restaurant

If you can't get enough French-inspired food or you like it but not enough to splurge on it in a specialty restaurant, you can dine at this French-inspired main dining room for free. You can choose from the basics served in all main dining rooms or opt for the Normandie exclusives, such as sirloin en croute or duck confit.

Oceanview Cafe

Included; breakfast, lunch, and dinner

Oceanview Cafe is the ship's buffet eatery. Expect a full range of globally inspired foods at every meal. Cooked-to-order egg, pancake and waffle stations are the center of breakfast choices. At lunch, look for meat-carving stations, salads, sandwich-making bars and a fresh pizza station. Plus, there's ice cream by the scoop. Dinner includes pizza, pasta and salad stations, plus cook-to-order stir fry and grilling stations.

As the name suggests, Raw on 5 is the spot to get your sushi (or even your oyster) fix on Edge Class ships. The menu goes beyond just sushi with a modern Japanese menu that includes cooked dishes like chicken teriyaki and pan-seared rib-eye medallions.

Rooftop Garden Grill

Start with spicy wings and work your way through a choice of burgers, pizza, kabobs or ribs at this alfresco, top-of-ship restaurant. Imagine summer backyard party food to get a sense of what to expect.

Included and a la carte; breakfast and lunch

The solarium is the spot to seek out healthy alternatives to heavy cruise food. Fruit and yogurt cups, salads, light sandwiches, wraps and granola are yours for the taking each day. Smoothies and fresh juices are available for an extra charge or come included if you purchase a drink package.

Sushi on Five

With a more limited menu than its Edge Class cousin, Sushi on Five features traditional sushi and sashimi with only a few non-seafood options. The Kobe Beef Ramen Slider might be the perfect secret menu item for that stubborn travel companion who just doesn't do sushi.

Available on : Celebrity Constellation, Eclipse, Equinox, Infinity, Millennium and Reflection

The Porch Seafood Restaurant

Picture yourself at a seaside resort in the Hamptons noshing on lobster rolls or a basket of blackened mahi-mahi tacos. Oh wait, you're not really in the Hamptons; you're cruising on one of only two ships in the Celebrity fleet with this unique semi-enclosed restaurant on Deck 15. Opening hours are weather dependent — high winds would be the main cause for a closure. The venue has limited seating, so you'll need reservations.

The Retreat Lounge

Included for Retreat guests; lunch and snacks

The Retreat Lounge serves up bar bites, gourmet snacks and even gourmet burgers on occasion. Check with servers for what's available to munch on each day.

Tuscan Grill

Combine all things Italian with a classic steakhouse, and you'll find yourself in Tuscan Grill. The menu is extensive enough for you to dine here multiple times. From soup to pasta and pizza to entrees featuring beef, chicken or seafood, you can't really go wrong with this choice.

Available on : Celebrity Constellation, Equinox, Infinity, Millennium, Reflection, Silhouette, Solstice and Summit

Tuscan Restaurant

Not to be confused with the Tuscan Grill, the fourth and final main dining room choice on Edge Class ships is inspired by Italy. Traditional options are still available, or go all in on the exclusives, such as slow-roasted pork chops or roasted chicken with Asiago cheese sauce.

Frequently asked Celebrity food questions

How does the main dining room work.

At booking, you are offered a choice between traditional times, designated as early or late, or flexible dining called Celebrity Select Anytime Dining.

Do I need reservations for dinner in a specialty restaurant?

Waiter-served, extra-fee restaurants — whether fixed price or a la carte — typically require reservations. Popular choices with limited seating might fill all available time slots as soon as reservations open. As such, it's better to make a reservation to ensure you get the time slot you prefer.

What do 'a la carte' and 'fixed price' mean?

A la carte pricing refers to restaurants where the food is priced per item. You only pay for what you order. An entire menu might be individually priced, as in Raw on 5, or you might only see a few items with prices on an otherwise complimentary menu, as in the main dining room.

Fixed price indicates that dining at the restaurant has a single cover charge for the full meal. Many of Celebrity's fixed-price restaurants have more than one cover charge option. For example, you might select a tasting menu that will have a higher fixed price.

Most also have a la carte choices that are an extra price over and above the cover price. Examples of that are the aged beef options at Fine Cut Steakhouse.

Beverages other than tea, coffee and water are an added charge at fixed-price restaurants unless specifically stated as being included or part of a beverage package.

Which beverages are included with my cruise fare?

Drip coffee, tap water, hot and iced tea, milk and one or more flavored drinks like fruit punch or lemonade dispensed from drink machines are included in the cost of your cruise. All other beverages can be purchased individually, or you can buy a beverage package to pay for unlimited drinks in advance (fine print applies). Read our guide to Celebrity Cruises drink packages for details.

Is there room service, and what does it cost?

Room service is available in all cabins. Continental breakfast is available at no charge; choices include coffee, pastries, fruit and cold cereal. Hot breakfast, lunch, dinner and all snacks incur a delivery charge of $9.95 plus 20% gratuity. The food itself is mostly complimentary, but select items are priced a la carte.

How do specialty dining packages work?

To lower your specialty dining costs, you can buy a multinight package or an unlimited dining package. These are all available for purchase in the cruise planner before sailing. The unlimited package allows you to dine at any specialty restaurant each night of your cruise, plus enjoy lunches when they are available.

Does Celebrity charge extra for lobster?

Lobster tails may be ordered any night of the cruise for an extra charge in the main dining room. If complimentary lobster is served in the dining room as part of the menu, only one lobster tail is included. Additional lobsters are charged to your bill.

Do Captain's Club members have access to Blu or Luminae?

No. Only guests staying in The Retreat suites may enjoy Luminae, and Blu is primarily for AquaClass cabin guests. Retreat passengers may dine in Blu if there is space available.

And we take that philosophy even further on Celebrity Beyond by bringing back the mouth-watering specialty restaurants created for Celebrity Edge® and adding to the list an incredible new restaurant created by the world-renowned chef, Daniel Boulud.

Main Dining

We completely reimagined our already incredible main dining experience when we introduced Celebrity Edge®, and it’s only getting better on our third Edge Series ship, Celebrity Beyond℠.

Exclusive Restaurants for The Retreat® and AquaClass® Guests

Luminae at the retreat.

Luminae at The Retreat features a unique new design by Kelly Hoppen, CBE that’s as boldly elegant as the cuisine served here. This private restaurant for guests of The Retreat has been moved to the front of the ship and now offers panoramic floor-to-ceiling views that equal those enjoyed from the Iconic Suites.

These delicious dishes are perfectly complemented by an extensive list of sustainable, biodynamic wines. Pair all of that with stylish new décor and impeccable, personalized service, and you have the fresh and bold experience of Blu.

Refresh Your Point of View

Connecting with each other and the beauty of your surroundings is at the heart of why we travel. So, in designing Celebrity Beyond, we’ve expanded our already impressive collection of bars and lounges to give you even more places to do exactly that, and we’ve made some of our fleet-favorite bars even more extraordinary—because that’s just what we do.

World Class Bar

Where fine drinking is as important as fine dining. Stepping out for an unforgettable evening at sea? Set the mood with a cocktail that’s been elevated to a fine art at the World Class Bar, a Celebrity favorite that’s making its Edge Series debut on Celebrity Beyond. Here, the ritual of making craft cocktails is just as exciting as drinking them. Using the freshest ingredients and the finest spirits, our expert mixologists aim to satisfy everyone from curious newcomers to connoisseurs alike.

The Sunset Bar

The open sea is one of the most rejuvenating places you can be, and we took full advantage of this in creating a redesigned, two-story Sunset Bar that’s nearly twice the size as before. The aft location offers amazing wake views, creating the perfect backdrop for the vision of designer to the stars Nate Berkus. That’s right—our Edge Series Travel Ambassador, who needs no introduction, has stepped into the role of designer himself to imagine one of the most anticipated venues on Celebrity Beyond.  

Café al Bacio

Sometimes it’s the simplest moments on a vacation that you treasure most, like starting your morning with a foamy latte and sweet treat as you stare at the sea and think about the wonderful day ahead. Whether you’re fueling up for your day ashore—or refueling for your evening aboard—the atmosphere of Café Al Bacio is always evolving, and so are the views outside and in the Grand Plaza below.

Craft Social Bar

Craft Social Bar will be the spot to be if you are looking for a fun, casual, relaxing atmosphere and a vast selection of craft beers served by a certified cicerone (beer sommelier), wines and cocktails .

The Martini Bar

Located in the middle of all the action in the Grand Plaza, this is without a doubt the epicenter of the social scene on Beyond. Grab a seat at the circular bar underneath the glow of the newly designed LED chandelier, where you can meet new friends, catch up with old friends, and together be totally stunned by the gravity-defying skills of our flair bartenders.

If your day’s agenda is to swim, lounge, relax, and repeat, you’ll love the addition of our Mast Bar to the main pool area. A refreshing poolside cocktail is just steps away, so there’s no need to stray too far from your blissful, sun-splashed spot on deck. The airy, resort-like ambience of Kelly Hoppen’s design will only soothe you even more.

The Retreat Lounge

Exclusive to guests of The Retreat, this warmly inviting lounge offers a fully stocked and expertly staffed bar, as well as gourmet bites and live entertainment.

Tantalize your senses with a collection of craft cocktails that perfectly match the chillful, playful, and wonderful vibes of Eden.

Whether you’re a morning person or night owl, this dynamic venue has something for everyone, from daytime activities like DJ classes and archery to evening productions that will entertain you long past your bedtime.

Il Secondo Bacio

Located within Oceanview Café, Il Secondo Bacio offers specialty coffees and freshly squeezed juices to go along with your meal or enjoy on their own. 

The Pool Bar

Sip on refreshing cocktails as you unwind poolside, losing yourself in the live music and gentle sea breezes.

Cruising the Moskva River: A short guide to boat trips in Russia’s capital

There’s hardly a better way to absorb Moscow’s atmosphere than on a ship sailing up and down the Moskva River. While complicated ticketing, loud music and chilling winds might dampen the anticipated fun, this checklist will help you to enjoy the scenic views and not fall into common tourist traps.

How to find the right boat?

There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.

Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.

This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.

Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such  option  offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).

If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.

Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.

How to buy tickets?

Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.

“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!”  wrote  (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.

Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.

Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.

Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.

Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as  this   offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.

This  website  (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other  website  sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.

Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.

“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.

There are two main boarding piers in the city center:  Hotel Ukraine  and  Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.

Where to sit onboard?

Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.

The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.

Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.

There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.

The 8 Best Restaurants in Moscow

From the traditional to the modern, fine dining destinations in Moscow celebrate the best that Russian cuisine has to offer.

By Elite Traveler

With many of the best restaurants in Moscow also doubling as bars and clubs, the atmosphere is nearly always one step away from a party, and many of the city’s elite come dressed to impress. Of course, there are still many elegant and family friendly restaurants for those who prefer a quieter evening. With such a large selection available, Elite Traveler has compiled a suitable list for diners of all persuasions.

Café Pushkin

Designed to recreate the feel of a 19th century aristocrat’s house, Café Pushkin has become one of the most popular restaurants in Moscow, thanks to the quality of its food, impeccable service and the excellent vodka selection. The atmosphere of pre-Revolution Russia is delightfully charming, from the flowery script of the menu to aristocratic country house décor. Pushkin is the ideal destination if you want to be treated like Russian nobility and dine like a Tsar – but book ahead, the restaurant’s popularity requires reservation well in advance.

Lavishly decked out with chandeliers and hand-painted furniture, the menu selection may come as a surprise to first-time guests, with options ranging from Pi Pa duck with melon and truffle to beefsteak with foie gras. Turandot puts a French spin on pan-Asian cuisine, and does so with incredible style and boldness. Whilst the interior décor is certainly to be marvelled at, it is the thoughtfully conceptualized and perfectly executed menu options that make for an incredible dining experience.

When the Ginza Project, a company that owns some of the finest restaurants in Moscow, announced that they would be opening a restaurant on the 29th floor of Radisson Royal Hotel, the excitement and anticipation was palpable.

The views from Buono are unashamedly spectacular, while the décor is elegant, with soft creams complementing the fine views on offer. The food is classical Italian; Chef William Lamberti is well known throughout Europe and has created an excellent menu. It’s always best to book ahead at Buono, as the window seats that offer the finest views over the city are quickly taken.

W New York – Times Square: “We Do Things Differently”

Italian for ‘small’, Piccolino is a cozy, homely restaurant – something of a rarity in Moscow.

Serving typical Italian food, the family friendly establishment is laid back, but this doesn’t compromise the quality of the food: good, hearty portions that are exceptionally tasty. The interior of Piccolino has been designed to replicate that of a large country house, and the décor is entirely fitting with the atmosphere of the restaurant. In a city where many of the establishments value the names of their guests over the quality of their dishes, Piccolino is the place to come if your preference is quality of food rather than famous faces.

Twin Gardens

With two tasting menus and an à la carte option, the Twin Gardens at the heart of Moscow caters to any palette. With the restaurant concept based on the symbiosis of science and nature, their Vegetables set menu explores all manner of produce from seedling to peeling, delicately plated in a tasteful homage to the natural life cycle of wild plants and flowers. For more adventurous types, their Rediscover Russia menu offers a culinary tour of various local specialties found in provinces across the vast continent. They also have a wide selection of Russian wines.

Located in an elegant 19th century mansion, CDL is one of the most sophisticated restaurants in Moscow.

The interior has been gorgeously designed to recreate the grandeur of the Silver Age of Russian culture, with antique balustrades and bas-reliefs throughout the Oak Hall main room. The staircase in the Oak Hall is a particular masterpiece; it was built without a single nail or screw. The fireplace is equally impressive and has been used as a meeting room by President Dmitry Medvedev. Guests can also hire additional rooms such as the Cigar Room and the Cabinet Room. A menu of authentic Russian cuisine has been created by top chef Alexander Popov, with organic dishes bursting with flavor and a splendor to match the opulent surroundings. With so much luxury and class on display, it’s little wonder that former US Presidents Ronald Reagan and George Bush have chosen to dine here. Situated in the center of the city between Bolshaya Nikitskaya 53 and Povarskaya Ulitsa 50, it’s worth booking ahead to avoid disappointment.

White Rabbit

With a domed window inviting soaring views of the Moscow cityscape, White Rabbit has recently undergone extensive renovations, to both its interior and its menu. Renowned architect Natalia Belonogova has transformed the restaurant into an airy, modern space, perfected by the addition of a summer veranda. To connect the dining options with the new interior, head chef Vladimir Mukhin has created a new menu, Metamorphoses, to reflect the lifecycle of the mayfly butterfly.

Delight your palette with scallop, strawberries and blackcurrant or, for dessert, dandelion honey with melted cottage cheese. This summerlike and refreshing menu has its roots in Russian soil and its head in the clouds above Moscow’s skyline.

After dark the restaurant becomes one of the coolest bars in town, with award-winning cocktails and a selective wine list.
