Riviera Ship Dining

Designed for epicureans and travel connoisseurs, Riviera features an array of complimentary specialty restaurants and unique dining experiences you'll remember long after your cruise ends. The gourmet restaurants each serve a distinctive set of dishes created a la minute, from Continental and wellness-inspired cuisine at The Grand Dining Room and classic French fare at Jacques to vibrant Asian cuisine at Red Ginger and steakhouse favorites at Polo Grill.

• The Grand Dining Room: The grande dame of the Oceania Cruises culinary world, The Grand Dining Room invites guests to a leisurely dining experience amidst an ambiance that soars to heights as lofty as the cuisine. The marquee restaurant has always featured Jacques Pepin's signature delights and a bevy of delicious Continental dishes and now offers even more exciting choices, Aquamar Vitality Cuisine, and a wide spectrum of global flavors. Menus change daily, and the all-new Executive Chef's Tasting Menu promises multiple courses of the chef's most divine creations.
• Toscana: Toscana means Tuscan, and just as Tuscan cuisine evolved from rich family traditions, many of the recipes originated with the mothers and grandmothers of the Italian culinary staff. Presented on elegant, custom-designed Versace china, masterfully prepared dishes exemplify the essence of Tuscany and celebrate Italy's culinary passion. Perhaps the evening begins with the octopus carpaccio with Champagne vinaigrette or the artichoke and parmesan cheese timbale with black truffle sauce. Classic dishes from other regions of Northern Italy are featured as well, such as the minestrone alla Genovese, lasagna al Forno alla Bolognese, and osso buco alla Milanese.
• Polo Grill: Polo Grill embodies all the elements of a classic steakhouse, expressing them with timeless reverence. Mindful of tradition, the decor features crisp, white linen tablecloths, dark wood furnishings, and supple, high-back, burgundy leather chairs. Each course stands as the very definition of time-honored favorites, most notably the beef dishes, all of which are certified Black Angus USDA Prime and dry-aged to enhance tenderness and flavor. Succulent seafood dishes such as grilled swordfish and whole Maine lobster gratinee are also classics in their own right. The classic Caesar salad, too, is prepared according to tradition, tableside and with gusto.
• Jacques: Exquisitely decorated with heirloom antiques, pickled wood furnishings, and art from Jacques Pepin's collection, Jacques was modeled after a Parisian bistro. Comfortable and eclectic, the ambiance is pure French, as is the cosmopolitan yet wonderfully embraceable cuisine. Luscious aromas waft from the gleaming show rotisserie, where chicken, duck, pork, beef, and veal roasts slowly turn. Each dish is a classic, ingeniously reinterpreted by Master Chef Pepin. Rotisserie roasted chicken falls off the bone, bursting with flavor, while his sea bass fillet pairs exquisitely with beurre blanc.
• Red Ginger: With a nod to feng shui, Red Ginger radiates harmony and tranquility. The interior simply glows with ebony woods, ruby red leather, and striking, modern Asian artworks. To complement the stunning decor, Red Ginger's chefs have created contemporary interpretations of Asian classics. Begin with a salad of spicy roast duck and watermelon with cashews, mint, and Thai basil. Savor a Malaysian beef penang with coconut rice and paratha roti. Or try Thai vegetable curry with sweet potatoes, aubergine, mushrooms, and basil in green curry sauce. In Red Ginger, the gustatory pleasures are as striking as the visual ones.
• Terrace Cafe: Informal and carefree, the Terrace Cafe is wonderfully inviting any time of day. During breakfast, the room is infused with natural sunlight from the floor-to-ceiling windows, stimulating the appetite for the sumptuous selections. Come lunch, the expansive menu of international-inspired dishes changes entirely, complemented by a flavorful roast and the magic of the pizzeria's oven. Dine inside or alfresco at one of the shaded teak tables on the terrace. During the evenings, the cuisine takes on a more sophisticated flair, with lobster tails, chops, and fresh fish prepared to order, and freshly made hand-cut sushi and sashimi. In addition, a diverse selection of bold and flavorful plant-based dishes is available.
• Waves Grill: Sometimes, the ultimate luxury is casual dining on all-American favorites, a laid-back style Waves Grill epitomizes. Located in a spacious, shaded area steps from the swimming pool, Waves Grill offers an extensive and mouthwatering menu. Then try a decadent dessert such as a homemade passion fruit sorbet, a made-to-order hot fudge sundae, a hand-dipped milkshake, or one of the new, whimsical ice cream flavors by Humphry Slocombe, such as Secret Breakfast, Elvis (the Fat Years) or signature flavor, Regatta Royale.
• Afternoon Tea: Teatime is a celebratory daily event at four o'clock. As a classical string quartet plays softly, staff presents bountiful four-tiered pastry carts filled with freshly made finger sandwiches, petits fours, scones, and sinful desserts. Of course, a selection of traditional and artisanal teas is the centerpiece of this splendid afternoon pastime.
• Room Service: After a day of enriching shore excursions ashore or various activities on board, you may dine in the privacy of your suite or stateroom with compliments. An extensive Room Service menu is available around the clock. Enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner on your private veranda, as you take in spectacular seascapes.
