Not to be missed MDR entrees

[griffy116]

Vidalia Onion Tart was one of THE BEST. I was sad when they took it off the menu. Back on the new menu, but that hasn't been rolled out to the rest of the fleet yet. LOVE their escargot and the mushroom puff pastry.

I loved the mojo pork chop and the tiger shrimp. My son loves the duck. I've never tried the lamb and I finally realized that I just don't like prime rib. I've had it from 3 different places (including the MDR) and didn't like it. The short rib dish was also pretty good.

Vidalia Onion Tart wasnt an entree though was it? :confused: The OP asked for not to miss entree suggestions. if we are talking about sides or apps too, I have MANY suggestions :D Escargot for one!

You're right, Vidalia Onion Tart was a starter.

 

To further deviate from entrees, I miss the Scallop Risotto too.

I'm with you Bob. I miss both of these. Do you know when the new menus will be rolled out fleet wide?

Sorry, I've seen nothing official from the cruise line with regard to a deployment schedule.

Duck is my absolutely all-time favorite.

They took it off the current menu - but reviewing the new menu - duck is back. Hope the new menus go fleet-wide sooner than later. I miss the duck.

Kangaroo steak on the Australian menu,

[luvixtapa]

I was on Oasis in the end of July and they had coconut shrimp. I think it was an appetizer but it was a huge DO NOT MISS for me. Absolutely loved it. Also really like the roasted pablona soup. :p:p

Lamb shank, rack of lamb, beef tenderloin, some pasta dishes (they vary), short ribs. In general, I do not like most of the fish on any cruise, but if you are ever at Murano on Celebrity, the Dover sole (served table side) is probably one of the best fish entrees I have ever had anywhere...to die for !!!:D

Kangaroo steak on the Australian menu,

 

I recently watched an episode of Mighty Ships that showed the chef preparing kangaroo steak on a Celebrity ship! I thought that was so cool! Makes me want to do an Australian cruise even more now!

[sdrocks]

i too loved the duck. Will really miss that. I like many of the seafood

selections except for salmon. Not a lamb eater. Good beef.

Beef Wellington was amazing in the MDR on Rhapsody this summer.

I enjoyed several pasta entrées last cruise but I don't recall what they were (stuffed shells, maybe... canelloni?...) Anyway, delish. I don't eat lamb or duck, so can't recommend them, but I mean order what you want, order 2 different items! Enjoy your dinners in the dining room. If you don't care for something, ask for something else.

 

Your "don't miss" may be my "don't eat", as I said before. :D hehe

.

 

The best advice going -- if you don't care for something, just ask your waiter for something else.

 

Last week on Empress we did enjoy the crab cakes, the French Onion soup, chicken cordon bleu and of course the chocolate chip cookies.

Does anyone know on an 8 night cruise, when the prime rib is served? Is it on a formal night?

There's no way to know for sure unless the ship has been doing the same itinerary and we got reports from folks on that itinerary.

Anyone know what kangaroo steak tastes like? We're going on an Australian/South Pacific island cruise in Jan 2018 and this entree may be interesting......

Tastes like chicken.

I haven't seen a vote for the cheese crepes yet :D As long as you love cheese and aren't counting calories, it's fantastic IMO!

[constantcruiser]

I know the OP asked about entrees, so my favorite MDR meal may not really fit the category. But I often skip the entree altogether, and order 2 or 3 appetizers and a salad instead. That leaves enough room for two desserts--my favorite part of dinner and something I rarely eat at home.

 

I've learned to expect "a lecture" from the waiter, who seems to be personally offended when I decline an entree. But then he sees my eyes light up when he brings me two desserts, and all is forgiven!

I enjoy the escargots, some nights 2 orders of them. Along with the bread and butter and wine, then the entree is secondary. I do like the lamb when offered.

lamb and the duck

Duck is no longer offered. It was my absolutely favorite entree so I wasn't happy to see it go. It was replaced by a chicken dish.

I typically order two appetizers with salad anyway.....and have thought to not order a main course, but I always find something interesting to try. Dessert is not my favorite on the Royal menu....but my waiters are always willing to get me chocolate chip cookies, which works for me.
