To spread the word about this high standard of cuisine, they set up a pop-up restaurant as what was donned "A Taste of Modern Luxury: Celebrity Cruises Pops Up in New York City." I am not an avid cruiser, but I was excited for the opportunity to see what Celebrity's chefs would bring to the table.
We started off the evening with a few drinks in their molecular bar featuring mixologist Junior Merino.
The Big Apple - roasted apple, cinnamon, xtabentun, Hudson Valley Whiskey, Lemon, spiced apple bitters
Dragonfly - Dainzu Hibiscus, pink grapefruit, lime, Cointreau, aloe vera drink, Russian Standard Vodka, liquid nitrogen Both of these drinks had really great flavors without being over-powering.
Jerusalem Artichoke Veloute
Iberico ham, black trumpet mushrooms, sourdough croutons, and marscapone
Handmade Ricotta Cavatelli
Wild mushroom fricassee, mache, Parmigiano Reggiano, shaved black truffles
Wild mushroom fricassee, mache, Parmigiano Reggiano, shaved black truffles
Seared Haibut
Salsify, beef oxtail marmalade, brussels sprouts, and parmesan emulsion
Five-Spice Crusted Cervena Venison Loin
Celery root fondant, wilted spinach, red cabbage marmalade, and lingonberry sauce
Warm Pineapple Tart Tatin
Coconut rum ice cream, lime confit, and passion fruit foam
Valrhona Cocoa Cake
Chocolate mousse, peanut butter creme brulee, and salted caramel ice cream
Custards and Strawberry Fields
I made the most of the meal, though, and definitely enjoyed all the flavors. Definitely an enjoyable and eye-opening experience. If this is the type of food to always expect on Celebrity Cruises, sign me up!
