ncl star restaurants

can anyone recommend their favorite restaurants on norwegian star? thanks so much

This may seem odd, but I am quite odd. The Chinese restaurant is not very popular (Ginza) and the service is quite slow. For that reason, I really enjoy it! It's a great place to eat AND relax. It is also part of the sushi bar, so you can order that a la carte if you like. AND there is a terrific Sake bar.

I also love Le Bistro, and especially the tables outside the main room, in the wine cellar. Have fun!

I was on Star two years ago and enjoyed Ginza also. I never had an issue with service but I went early in the evening. Of course Cagney's was good as well.

We had a couple of great meals in the Ginza restaurant on our 2012 cruise and loved it.

We liked the service SO much in Ginza on our June Baltic cruise that we went there twice. It was not crowded at all, we had the live band playing down stairs so some nice music, and they treated us very, very well - going overboard (so to speak) for our toddler. We are vegetarian and the chef actually came out and talked us through a tofu dish he would make for us. Very good service.

Another vote for Le Bistro!

Another vote for Ginza!!!

Is the Ginza open for lunch (sushi and sake?)

Love that sake!! :)

Le Bistro was our absolute favourite. Ate there four times on b2b cruises with our Platinum perks and then ate there again, paying for it ourselves. Great food and outstanding service.

We also liked La Cucina. Pizza is one of the courses and we ordered ours to go since there was so much other food. We ate it later that night in our cabin while watching a movie on tv.

Le Bistro and Cagney's.

As for the MDR, we prefer Versailles at the back of the ship - a beautiful restaurant and doesn't seem as noisy as Aqua, even though it is much bigger. (The high ceilings in Versailles might have something to do with it.)

Thank you for the recommendation of Ginza. The menu looks good. I would not have considered eating here.

Thank you to all who have responded to this thread. We will be on the Star this fall (first time on NCL). In the paid restaurants, like the Ginza, can you order more than 1 app and/or dessert like you can in the MDR?

What you are going to find is that every restaurant has its fan...every restaurant is someone's favorite.

If you were to ask the Chef in each restaurant which restaurant was the best on the ship, what would you think his answer would be? :rolleyes:

Consider everything that is offered (you'd be foolish not to) and make the decision based on YOUR wants/needs/likes/desires/tastes.

This is YOUR vacation. YOU should eat in the place that serves what YOU like and that makes YOU happy. Don't let others make your decision based on their personal opinions.

We ate in Ginza and really enjoyed it, I asked for a dish to be extra spicy, and it made my eyes water it was so good. We were offered more appetisers than we could eat, and there wasn't room for dessert, but had some anyway, if we had asked for more it would have come. Don't forget the green tea at the end.
