A smorgasbord of dining options

With its 11 different dining
venues and 19 bars and
lounges, guests on the
MSC Seaside are spoilt
for choice. Complimentary
options include the
Seashore Restaurant,
serving breakfast and
lunch and the Ipanema
Restaurant, which serves a
three-course dinner. There
is also a Marketplace
Buffet. The Ipanema
Restaurant offers a finedining
experience with a
three-course meal and has
three sittings – at 18h30,
21h00 and 22h00. Touches,
such as having the same
waiter every night, ensure
that guests enjoy a more
personalised experience.
Other dining choices
include the Asian Market
Kitchen; Bistro La Bohème,
serving French cuisine;
Ocean Cay, serving
American-style seafood with
a Mediterranean twist; and
Butcher’s Cut, which serves
cuts of meat and craft beer.
The Asian Market Kitchen
is the creation of celebrity
chef, Roy Yamaguchi, and
includes three distinct dining
concepts: Asian Fusion,
an à la carte restaurant
serving gourmet Asian
cuisine; a Sushi Bar; and
Teppanyaki, where food is
prepared on four teppanyaki
grills, providing a modern
twist on Asian cuisine. At
the Teppanyaki grill, guests
sit at the cooking stations,
watching chefs prepare their
meals.
The Champagne Bar
will delight guests with a
penchant for bubbles. Here,
champagne and sparkling
wines from all over the
world are served. The
selection changes roughly
every two weeks. Other
options include a sports bar.
The Seaside Bar is perfect
for aperitifs and martinis
ahead of dinner and a
Wine and Cocktails bar is
located near the speciality
restaurants.
For those with a sweet
tooth, the Miami-inspired
South Beach Bar serves
gelato, and the ship also
features an artisanal
chocolate and coffee bar.
The South Beach Bar is also
the venue for a silent disco
and serves Caribbean-style
cocktails and mocktails too.
