Summit Normandy Restaurant

[luvocean9]

At this specialty restaurant, can you still order more than one appetizer and/or entree like you can in the MDR?

No, not normally. They do give you a chef's "surprise" appetizer. Don't worry, you will have enough food. ;)

[luvocean9]

My concern is deciding between the options. They all sound so good!

[DaveFr]

Eat at the specialty restaurant more than once. :D

You are allowed a choice of ONE appetizer or/salad or/soup, one entree and one dessert. You also get the cheese course and the petit fours.

I couldn't decide between the lobster bisque and the goat cheese souffle and asked if I could have both, and the waiter said "of course." I ended up liking the goat chese souffle much more (and split it with my wife) and next time would order that alone.

 

You'll get more than enough food - in fact, we passed on the cheese course, because we were too full

Oh good. It was the appetizers that were causing my indecision. Thanks!

The menu does say to select from an appetizer, and either soup or salad and an entree. Dessert menu comes later.

 

We returned last Saturday from the Summit. Did dine in the Normandy one night with a group of 6. Each of us ordered different things then shared tastes if we wished. I ordered the bisque and would be the only appetizer I would not select again. It had a brown base, rather than creamy white or red. Just did not appeal to me.

 

BTW: we thought it was very much worth the extra fee for the Normandy. Did not do wine pairings because there were less selections of food choices on that side of the menu.

 

Enjoy!

Lobster- Was it $30?

 

For some reason I thought it was $25 p/p.. but just booked 2 nights for our May sailing and it was $30 per.. was wondering when it went up or if I am just WAY behind the times!

Glad to have the heads up on the bisque. That brown stuff is not what I would like either and most likely, I would have ordered it. What about the lobster and scallops meal. Did you or anyone get it and if so, was it to die for?;)

Hi:)its been 30.00 for a while now. Not sure when

the increase went into affect but it was 30.00 3 months ago

when I sailed Infinity. I ate in the USS United States and it

was 30 bucks (definitely worth the price:)).

When we were on the Summit in December we ate every meal at the Normandie Restaurant and it was 30.00 per person then.

The goat cheese souffle is one of my all-time favorites! Delicious!

[Vacationahead]

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but we were on last week and no goat cheese souffle in the Normandie. They have the same goat cheese appetizer Murano does now on Solstice.

 

In fact the entire menu is different than the one previously posted. I'm not sure when it changed, but our server mentioned it had been the one posted for several years and had been updated.

 

They still have a dark chocolate souffle, but I think the dessert that most pleased our group was a crepe with ice cream and a strawberry sauce made with balsamic vinegar and pepper (among other things). Sounds strange, but it was tasty!

[Conanc]

Oh no....say it "ain't" so! :(

Sorry I do not. Have you looked on Celebrity website, i think they have a copy there.

Did you do any tours that you would like to share with me prior to my departure, we're in our 50's and no hiking up a mt..

I'm really looking forward to the Normany restaurant.

Do they still serve lobster? Since they no longer have it in the MDR, we were going to the Normandie just for the lobster!

[Vacationahead]

luvocean9,

 

They do still have the lobster. Some of the folks at our table had it and found it to be quite enjoyable. The good news for you is they still serve it in the MDR as well, on the second formal night. It's now in a seafood type plate that includes scallops and shrimp. I thought the lobster was just okay.

When you dine in the Normandie, is it like the MDR in that you are seated at large tables with other pax? Or are you always seated at a table with just your party?:confused:

[CathyCruises]

Just with your party.
