The document discusses and recommends several fine dining restaurants on cruise ships, including Todd English's restaurant on the Queen Mary 2, known for its menu developed with celebrity chef Todd English and featuring dishes like venison loin. It also recommends The Avon restaurant on Fred Olsen Cruises' Balmoral ship, which has amazing sea views and British-style cooking. Finally, it mentions Red Ginger on Oceania Marina, with a menu by Jacques Pepin and classic Asian dishes in an ornately decorated oriental setting.

2. FINE DINING AT SEA – MY TOP PICKS
 There can be no greater pleasure in life than enjoying a fine meal in a
fabulous restaurant. When you combine this with a fantastic cruise you
create a dining experience that is truly unforgettable. In recent years some
of the world’s finest chefs have teamed up with some cruise lines to develop
exciting menus and dining concepts. Throughout this post I will explore my
favourite restaurants at sea.
 One of my all-time favourite restaurants on-board a cruise ship is Todd
English’s on-board the Queen Mary 2. The restaurant and menu was
developed in conjunction with celebrity chef, Todd English, whose distinctive
style can be seen throughout the menu. Located on Deck 8 of the Queen
Mary 2, the restaurant offers a sophisticated, candle light dining setting. My
favourite dish was a venison loin on a bed of barley which was unbelievably
tender and succulent.

4. AVON UPON SEA
 The Avon restaurant on-board Fred Olsen Cruises Balmoral Ship is also
worthy of a mention. The Avon Restaurant is located on deck 10 and is
decorated in a sleek and contemporary style. One of my favourite aspects of
this restaurant is the amazing floor to ceiling windows that provide fabulous
views out to sea while you dine. With regards to the food, there is an amazing
range of fish, fowl, red meat, pasta and vegetarian options on the menu which
are all cooked in a distinctly British manner. For anyone who is about to
depart on a Balmoral Cruise I encourage them to visit the Avon Restaurant
and sample the Lamb Loin Provencale.

5. JACQUES VAN STADEN
 Celebrity Cruises appointed Chef Jacques Van Staden as their vice president
of Food and Beverage Operations. The result of this appointment is a dining
experience that is hard to match either on land or at sea. Carrying on
Celebrity Cruises theme of playfulness, Qsine doesn’t follow the traditional
restaurant concept of courses but instead concentrates on a shared dining
experience. Menus and wine lists on iPads and dishes such as Sushi
Lollipops create a fun and unique dining experience.

6. THE BEAUTIFUL RED GINGER
 Finally I would like to mention Red Ginger on-board the Oceania Marina
ship. The menu was developed by world renowned master chef Jacques
Pepin and includes classic Asian dishes with a modern twist. The actual
restaurant itself deserves a mention itself. It is fabulously decorated with a
distinctly oriental feel and creates an amazing atmosphere to enjoy a fine
meal.
