Pincho on Escape

[WindinmySails]

We usually use our 2 specialty dining dinners at Cagney's and LeBistro, but are thinking of trying Pincho's instead.  Does anyone have any insight?  or recommendations as to what is good to order.  How is it done though it is Tapas?  Will we want a meal after wards, (lol).

The SDP credit is good for 4 items. If there are two of you, you can use 1 person's credit (4 small plates) or both person's credit (8 small plates). Works the same way at Food Republic.  

 

Personally, we think that Pincho has the best food on the ship. And we usually use our SDP credits there for lunch on a sea day.

However you pay for it, just make sure to go! One of our very favorites, fleetwide.

Oh, and we really liked the bacon wrapped dates, and everything we had under the plancha menu (chorizo, squid, scallops, iberico secreto), plus of course the hams and cheeses.

 

The first time we planned to stop for an appetizer and wine, pre-MDR dinner, but just kept ordering and skipped the MDR dinner. We stopped another night just for a small plate, and then second time on the Escape, we stopped a few times for a small plate and wine.

Where can we find a recent menu for Panchos?

The bacon-wrapped dates and the pork belly were two of my favorite dishes I had on the ship. Absolutely fantastic, and a great value. We used one SDP meal for a dinner then went back twice for lunch and just paid for a few dishes with onboard credit.

This is a pre-pandemic menu.

You won't have any trouble getting a seat. We just got home yesterday after being on the Escape for 16 days and only one time did we see anybody there. And that was a group of four.

Here's the sample menu currently posted by NCL:

I'm looking forward to trying it in a few weeks when we are on the Escape.

Thanks, we are looking forward to eating there as well.  Too bad we have to wait until March.

Wow, the prices have gone up drastically. About 2.5x the price for a lot of those dishes now. Still worth it.

Back when it was SDP + $7 upcharge, Pincho was still a good deal. Now that the SDP fully covers, the a la carte people are making up the difference. 😊

So could you eat my 4 small plates one day and my wife's 4 small plates another day under the SDP credit?
