HollDoll Posted September 28, 2011 #1 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Anyone have the menu for the LeCirque dinner? If so, can you post it please? Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted September 28, 2011 #2 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Just a little search found this from earlier this month: The first Le Cirque on the Nieuw Amsterdam was on Dec 2, 2010. And it was excellent!! The special place settings and decorations had not arrived but the food and service by the Pinnacle staff was great. The meal was $39 per person and you could buy for $20 per person a special wine offering which was 3 glasses selected for the special dinner. Each person was first served an Amuse (just like the regular Pinnacle offers). It was Pate Foi Gras -- goose liver mousse with rhubarb chutney -- very good. The appetizer was Lobster Salad "Le Cirque" -- poached lobster with haricot and citrus (I will post at a later time the recipe foe this) Soup - Sweet Corn Soup -- prepared table side. On the bottom of the soup bowl were ground corn fritters, wood ear mushrooms and some whole kernals of corn. The corn soup -- nice and thick and very tasty with a hint of basil -- was served from a tureen. There were 3 choices for the main menu: Wild Halibut with leek fondue, Rocca Di Fransinello sauce -- DH had this - very flaky and tasty. Rack of Lamb - goat cheese panisse, artichokes and arugula -- I had this -- excellent -- very tasty and meaty lamb chops -- got 2 big double ones. Cote de Boeuf - (aged prime rib steak) - horseradish flan, sweet and sour baby beets for two. Can't comment on this. Side Dishes: Seasonal vegetables -- DH had them -- a mixture broccoli, summer squash, cauliflower, bamboo shoots, zuccini in a truffle oil -- excellent. Pommes Dauphine -- I had them -- mashed potatoes made into tiny puffs and quickly fried -- good -- hot and crunchy. Desserts: Chocolate Souffle -- we passed on this as we had already had a couple of chocolate souffles in the Pinnacle. Creme Brulee Le Cirque -- we both had it and loved it -- recipe will be posted at a later time. Assortment of Sorbets - again we did not try them - so - no comment. Courtesey of KK.

Linda VH Posted September 28, 2011 #3 Share Posted September 28, 2011 But I saw in another post somewhere that they are now doing the beef for one instead of two. Hope that's correct - DH is a solid medium and I'm very very rare ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted September 28, 2011 #4 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Yes - they are now doing the beef for one -- a lot of people asked for that. Also the Cod is supposed to be changed to Sea Bass. Wish someone had a new menu -- might even be more changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The corn soup -- nice and thick and very tasty with a hint of basil -- was served from a tureen. CHANGED: it is now a Butternut Squash soup (I have the recipe but will be a week or so before I can convert it and put it on my Recipe Site) There were 3 choices for the main menu: Wild Halibut with leek fondue, Rocca Di Fransinello sauce -- DH had this - very flaky and tasty. Rack of Lamb - goat cheese panisse, artichokes and arugula -- I had this -- excellent -- very tasty and meaty lamb chops -- got 2 big double ones. Cote de Boeuf - (aged prime rib steak) - horseradish flan, sweet and sour baby beets for two. Can't comment on this. I do not remember all of the choices, but one change was the Chateaubriand!! OMG!!! it was DELICIOUS!! Side Dishes: Seasonal vegetables -- DH had them -- a mixture broccoli, summer squash, cauliflower, bamboo shoots, zuccini in a truffle oil -- excellent. Same and I agree, absolutely delicious!! Pommes Dauphine -- I had them -- mashed potatoes made into tiny puffs and quickly fried -- good -- hot and crunchy. Did not see these as offerings, but they may still be. Desserts: Chocolate Souffle -- we passed on this as we had already had a couple of chocolate souffles in the Pinnacle. Creme Brulee Le Cirque -- we both had it and loved it -- recipe will be posted at a later time. Same Assortment of Sorbets - again we did not try them - so - no comment. Same Courtesey of KK. I wish I could remember all of the entrees but as soon as I saw Chateaubriand I stopped looking at the menu:) Joanie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tcook052 Posted September 28, 2011 #8 Share Posted September 28, 2011 When I booked my Ryndam PG reservarion days ago I didn't see the Circque night offered on that sailing. Does it get added closer to sailing or is it not being offered at all on this ship or itinerary. Anyone know? I enjoyed Cirque this past Jan. on Eurodam and thought about trying it again, though the PG is still plenty good enough food for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed Cirque this past Jan. on Eurodam and thought about trying it again, though the PG is still plenty good enough food for me. It never changed from PG (and Regular PG pricing to Le Cirque and it's higher price) on the HAL site at all for us. I booked the 2nd formal night in PG and discovered afterwards (I think here on the CC Boards) that it would be Le Cirque, which made me happy.)

I may see about doing Cirque again but will likely stick with PG for a change. It's all good. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCKelly Posted September 29, 2011 #16 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Do some of the ships still use the old menu, and some the new menu? The new menu looks like there are more choices. Will all the ships be changing over soon to the new menu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will all the ships be changing over soon to the new menu? It was that way this summer, the Rotterdam was still on the old menu in June while several other ships were on the new menu.

tangerinebunny Posted September 29, 2011 #18 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I printed the new menu and gave it to my husband. Then I told him what we're really having for supper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

semlohah Posted September 30, 2011 #20 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I just sailed on the Maasdam and they have the new menu with chicken under a brick, the squash soup, a reconstructed ceasar salad, and a few other new items. It was enjoyable, but I love the regular Pinnacle Grill menu more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
