Here are a few of my favourites!
A SPHERE FOR THE SENSES
Nestled beside expansive windows with sweeping ocean views is Pearl Café. Stop by for a quick bite around the clock and settle into the scenery. You’ll find a selection of freshly pressed panini, ready-made salads and sweet treats.
BASECAMP
Right in the middle of all the Thrill Island action, Basecamp is your family’s headquarters to refuel between adventures. Choose from a variety of complimentary snacks, like soft pretzel bites with cheese sauce. Tee up a round of drinks before putting around the mini-golf course. And with so many ways to fuel up between waterpark splashdowns, consider this your home base for bites you won’t want to share.
UPSCALE, UPTOWN
Delve into decadence at Empire Supper Club — a new Central Park restaurant that’s putting on the Ritz with a taste of old New York right onboard. Indulge in an evening of extravagance with an eight-course menu of premium American cuisine, carefully curated with expertly prepared plates from caviar to wagyu.
PIER 7
Pop over to Pier 7 any time for beachside bites with a laid-back vibe. You’ll find casual California cuisine that everyone will enjoy. From surf and turf tacos to crispy, crunchy mango lime shrimp tostadas piled high and even sharable platters. Plus, get your brunch on all day, every day, with indulgent dishes like smoked salmon benedict or a fluffy buttermilk pancake platter. Pier 7 packs all the flavours you crave and keeps you coming back for more.
FAMILY FEASTS
Whatever your little ones are into right now, the Surfside Eatery has it — steps away from all the action. Satisfy your breakfast and lunch cravings with a buffet of options, from pancakes with chocolate chips and fruit toppings to colourful, fun-shaped pasta with marinara and cheese sauces.
IZUMI IN THE PARK
Strolling through the open air of Central Park, craving a savoury snack. Izumi in the Park — an all-day window for sushi and snap-worthy street foods inspired by Japan. Sample a selection of fresh nigiri, sashimi, seaweed salad and more packed up in a portable box. You’re already planning your return trip for the most photogenic ice cream onboard — a Taiyaki vanilla ice cream with strawberry drizzle and rainbow sprinkles served in an airy bubble cone. Whether it’s a pre-dinner sweet treat or a mid-day sushi snack, this is your destination for fresh eats in the fresh air.
