Think dining on cruise ships means an endless buffet? You might want to think again. While sailing, you\u2019ll discover some of the most incredible restaurants you\u2019ll ever experience\u2014from traditional Italian restaurants to Feng Shui-inspired eateries and just about everything in between. While almost every cruise line has a few unique spots to tempt your palate, these 7 are not to be overlooked\u2026<\/p>\n

Ocean Blue
\n<\/strong>Seafood at sea? Great idea! Debuting on board the Norwegian Breakaway<\/em><\/a> in 2013 (and later on the Norwegian Getaway<\/em>), this upscale venue\u2019s menu touts dishes like black sea bass, risotto of Jonah Crab, and monkfish loin \u2013 all locally sourced. Even better, there\u2019s also a raw bar in<\/em> the restaurant, AKA the perfect spot for grabbing a snack.<\/p>\n

\"Restaurant2\"

Restaurant 2
\n<\/strong>Dishes that are as decadent as they sound? Head to Restaurant 2, an intimate specialty eatery available aboard all Seabourn<\/a> ships. You\u2019ll find the menu full of oh-so-tempting tapas dishes like foie gras cr\u00e8me br\u00fbl\u00e9e, lobster and lemongrass press\u00e9 and pan seared quail breast\u2014all for no extra charge.<\/p>\n

QSINE
\n<\/strong>Feast your eyes (and, you know, your stomach) on some of the quirkiest small plates at sea. Sushi lollipops, disco shrimp and popcorn fish \u2018n\u2019 chips\u2014this menu is a party for your palate. Best part of all, QSINE\u00a0available on a slew of Celebrity<\/a> ships.<\/p>\n

\"150

150 Central Park
\n<\/strong>Farm-to-ship dining is now a thing, thanks to 150 Central Park, one of Royal Caribbean<\/a>\u2019s specialty restaurants.The new \u00e0\u00a0la carte menus are the brain child of award-winning chef Michael Schwartz and tout dishes like lobster gnocchi, baby beet salad, and mahogany black cod made from only responsibly and artisanally sourced ingredients.<\/p>\n

Sabatini\u2019s
\n<\/strong>Buon appetito! On board most of Princess<\/a>\u00a0ships, cruisers will find Sabatini\u2019s, an Italian restaurant that serves up Mediterranean dishes with a heavy emphasis on seafood. As you\u2019d expect, the dishes are drool-worthy, running the gamut from crisp fried baby squid antipasti to main courses of roasted veal with mushroom ragout.<\/p>\n

The Pinnacle Grill
\n<\/strong>Luxurious settings? Innovative menus? Extensive wine selection? Check, check, and check! The Pinnacle Grill, foundon board all of Holland America<\/a>\u2019s ships, is the go-to spot for intimate meals featuring dishes inspired by America\u2019s Pacific Northwest. Think sustainably raised beef, cedar planked halibut, and wild mushroom ravioli.<\/p>\n

\"Guy's

Guy\u2019s Burger Joint
\n<\/strong>You can tell by the name that this is not <\/em>the most refined diningspot at sea. But don\u2019t dismiss it just yet. For Guy\u2019s Burger Joint, Carnival<\/a> teamed up with restauranteur and Food Network personality Guy Fieri to deliver fresh-off-the-grill roadside burgers at sea. Add in hand-cut fries, a laidback poolside setting and S.M.C. (super melty cheese), and it can be hard to imagine eating anywhere else.<\/p>\n
