So many great tastes of the world. With the increase in specialty restaurants RCI is offering a lot of tastes that may be new to guests. I think having options is great. This is just a poll with *some* idea. Of course this is not all inclusive. Wonder what you think would make a good specialty restaurant?

Indian.

 

Just came back from a businessmans Indian lunch buffet. So excellent. Love when RCI chefs make a special Indian dish for us or have Indian dishes on the buffet. An Indian restaurant would be a great addition.

You cant have good true southern BBQ without wood and a smoker :) We all know that isnt possible on board a cruise ship.

 

I wish there were more seafood options with better seafood at a standard per person charge.

Without looking down at any responses, I voted Indian as well. The old menus in the MDR always had a daily Indian menu item that I always tried and was awesome... better yet, on Vision last year our table spoke to our Indian waiter & Asst Waiter about the new menus and how much we missed the Indian food... sure enough one night out of the blue they and the Maitre-D brought out a table full of Indian dishes for dinner at our table of 10... the indian chefs/cooks were so thrilled that someone wanted the Indian food back they were so proud to do it. It was awesome! I bet many of the top cooks/chefs at Royal would love the chance to work in an Indian venue. The ambiance could be incredible... waaaay better than having an empty Rita's... hello RCL.. you listening??!! :)

 

Great poll LMax :D

Indian. It's one of our favourites and always the first meal we have when we get back home.

 

More importantly, a lot of the chefs are Indian and they produce wonderful Indian food. We sometimes ask for Indian rather than the boring offers in the MDR.

I wish they would put in a restaurant like Qsine on Celebrity. It is one of my favorites now and with a great variety so you can go many times and each time eat something different. Also a great place to try different dishes.

A Jewish New York style Deli with chicken soup and matza balls, chopped liver, kishke, blintzes, gefilte fish, brisket, latkes etc., etc. Really good, tasty artery-clogging food!

 

I was thinking of adding that as a choice to the poll and I blanked out when putting in the options. Now I want pastrami on a bagel. :D

I think it's difficult to find a cuisine with mass appeal. Especially if you're talking about fine dining.

 

Besides your standard French, Italian and American, I think the following could work:

 

Indian

Spanish

Chinese (FINE dining or more traditional, not fast food take out/buffet style). The food differs quite a bit within China as well, Northern and Southern; Taiwanese or Hong Kongese(?)

Korean

Vietnamese

Latin - food from Argentina, Brazil, Cuba, Ecuador etc..

Japanese - although, it might hard to get good raw fish for real sushi

Middle Eastern - Turkish, Israeli, Iranian

 

I like them all.
