Palo or Remy brunch on the Fantasy

[brentm77]

With the changes to the way the Palo brunch if offered (menu instead of buffet), how do people think it compares to Remy brunch these days? It seemed that in the past many people preferred Palo, but is that still the case?

DW and I have given up on Palo brunch. Yes, Remy brunch is more expensive, but it's worth the price paid. Brunch is kinda 'meh' now in Palo. Dinner is still great & we use our Platinum credit for that, but we've decided to give Palo brunch a hard pass

We enjoy going to both and think they are very different. Palo brunch has many more breakfast items and you can order what you want. Remy brunch is a singular curated menu and is like a mini version of Remy dinner.

I enjoy both, however for me Remy brunch is a cheaper version of Remy dinner so I would swing for that if it’s one or the other.

Another vote for Remy brunch - it’s amazing. We like it better than dinner, and we really love the dinner.

We’re doing both on our next cruise, so I am the wrong person to ask. Love them both! Palo has some of my favorite dishes. Lasagna, eggs benedict, those yummy pizzas. Remy is a more elevated experience, it’s true, but they are both really delicious.

For those who have done Remy brunch, will Remy substitute at brunch for those who don't eat seafood? We have been trying to get a Palo brunch reservation for our cruise, but it's sold out. Today a Remy brunch spot was available so I took it, but I'm nervous since I cannot choose the dishes and I don't eat any seafood.

Yes. No problem. I don’t eat shellfish, my husband doesn’t eat anything out of the sea. We went to Remy before our brunch and had this noted on the reservation. Our server talked to us about the possible alternatives. We ended up with delicious food! It was a wonderful experience and I hope gonget a chance to do it again at some point!

If we have Remy Dinner already, will Remy Brunch be mostly a repeat or is the food very different?

Completely different but similar cuisine style.


We love both. However, I feel like I eat less at Remy brunch. Palo brunch can be more breakfasty though if you get eggs and pancakes. The champagne pairing at Remy is excellent.

Very diffferent. Amazing still, but very different

Usually very different. On our last cruise on the Fantasy (Feb 2020), we did both brunch and dinner. We did the brunch first, and there was a chicken dish that was fantastic (and we loved it so much both DH and I still speak of it today). Our server (we had the same one for both) asked us if we wanted that at dinner too. That was a definite yes for both of us. I think there was probably a different chicken/poultry course for dinner but we so loved that dish.

I don't agree with the review "meh" of brunch in Palo. Yes, it is different from the pre-Covid days but relaxing and delicious. You can have as many entrees as you wish so there is some similarity to the buffet (OK, no cavier)...Some people love Palo brunch some people don't...but please don't rely solely on one post...
I wouldn't miss it...

I’m looking forward to our first time in less than two weeks!!

Some yummy views of Palo Brunch from Halloween (I can't wait to go again):


Shrimp only plate + meat/cheese plate


So many good pastries and choices of bread


My favorite dessert!

One note: you can ask for a pastry "to go" - I enjoyed an almond croissant later in the day when I had more room...

I don't think I had more room until the next morning, TBH. I was still kind of stuffed when I waddled into the Royal Court for the later seating that evening.

Also, I believe that I read somewhere that Remy has eliminated their brunch menu and now just serves their dinner menu during brunch.

There's a thread about the brunch menu change at Enchante on the Wish. A couple posters there referenced Remy, but I didn't see anyone say that Remy was changing as well.

 

[motherdaughtercruisers]

I hope Remy’s isn’t changing! We were able to score reservations for the first time coming up in about a week and I’m hoping we get to do the brunch menu. We already do Remy dinner at least once per cruise, so if they changed it would have no appeal for us. :/

Edit: spelling

I love both Palo and Remy for brunch, but out of the classic ships- Remy is not available on all, so if I have chance, I choose Remy, and do Palo on the others.
