I'm going to copy part of my trip report from our dinner at Remy's so there are some updated food pics on here.
Remy's is so fancy we felt like little kids playing dress up.
See the hidden Remy's?
The menu is a chef's tasting menu. There were two different choices, Saveur or Gout. (Flavor or Taste.) Jerry, our wonderful waiter, explained all the courses and how the dinner worked. There are also some items a la carte. We decided to as couples try one of each and share. But we also added one of the a la carte items.
First, a waiter made a champagne cocktail tableside. It was very nice and refreshing. Then they came by where we got to choose a piece of bread. We were told not to worry, they would stop by often with more bread. The French rolls were of course amazing.
Next came the first course for everyone, ratatouille with an olive oil ice cream. Yummy!
Next up was the official first course from our meals. I had the Langoustine Royal from the Saveur menu. It's a small baby lobster (think shrimp) in a creamy Caesar type sauce. Very good. Very small.
DH had the smoked bison. He liked it, I didn't get to try it.
2nd course Saveur - Declinaison Tomate or Tomato 4 Ways
Uh oh, I don't like tomatoes. And I was about to get it 4 ways.
Gazpacho with a red pepper thing in the middle
Tomato Water - actually refreshing, like a V8 minus the thickness. Plus, Parmesan Foam with tomato sauce. Also very tasty.
A tart with cherry tomatoes and some other stuff, eggplant maybe?
DH likes tomatoes so he took most of that course from me and gave me his. I lucked out.
Lobster with vanilla bean foam
Next up I had the Turbot Cotier. It was a lightly pan fried fish in a very good sauce.
DH had a winner also with the Wild Loups De Mer or Sea Bass.
In between all of these courses, we were also enjoying plenty of fresh bread. We also noticed a large cheese cart rolling around. Which we tracked for quite a while wondering when it would come to our table. I think we may have creeped the cheese guy out just a little. So I decided against photographing him for fear he would never bring those cheeses over. Also to note, we are about 2 hours into the meal about now.
We talked to Jerry about the restaurant. He said they only serve about 70 people a night and they do not turn over tables. Unlike other servers, the Remy crew doesn't have to work elsewhere on the ship either.
The next course was our fill in course we all ordered, the Alaskan King Crab. It was served in a crepe with caviar on top, some pretty flowers, and a white sauce. We all loved it. We were glad we added it to our courses.
After this, it was time for the "main" course. I had the Pigeonneau. It was breast of pigeon baked in a puff pastry with foie gras and ham. Very interesting. It was a little bit gamey for my tastes, but an interesting experience.
DH had Australian Wagyu beef. He loved it so much he didn't share. Nor did he even want me to take a picture, thus it is very blurry. I also quit using my flash because I was worried it was annoying the other patrons.
Finally, the cheese table comes around. There were many different choices some looked and smelled amazing, one smelled and tasted like dirty feet. Not that I've tasted dirty feet, but I bet this is what it tasted like.
We are now entering hour 3. I knew it was too good to last. We got a call from DD11 saying she got a message on her wave phone that DD5 wanted to be picked up.
DH said he would go get her, missing out on dessert. Now here is the one thing that made me not so happy. They wouldn't pack up his dessert to go, even though we had just paid $75 a person for the meal. I hope they change that policy because I'm sure a lot of parents have trouble staying for the whole meal.
Dessert did come and I ended up with both DH's and mine.
His was Poached Pears.
Pretty and tasty but....
Mine was better. It was a chocolate fondant cake with edible gold leaf and a spicy chocolate mousse.
At the end of the meal, Jerry gave us a nice package to take back to our kids with homemade lollipops, some chocolates, and marshmallows. There was also a nice card and a box of chocolate from Remy's waiting back at our room when we got done to thank us for visiting. Overall, it was an amazing meal. I do think I'd try it again if the menu changes, because I would like to try new stuff. Maybe I'd do the a la carte instead. It was just a very nice experience and fun to be adventurous with my food.
I also posted in my report about the Palo's brunch and will eventually post about Palo's dinner since we did a back to back on the Dream. I'll try to add some of those pictures on here.
