Bistro on Five

WE have heard great things about this and understand it is open for lunch boarding day. There is a $5 service charge, but I think well worth it to beat the crowds/hassle up in the Lido.

Anyone ate there?

So you recommend! I may want to go back too-as our we have several 12 hour port days and long excursions-I have a feeling those days-I will not want to go and have a long dinner in dining room. It will be worth that $5 for me if the food is good!

Ooh! I love creme brulee. So glad that it is always offered here!

We used it lunchtime, I don't think Celebrity do an evening self serve buffet as such so it's an option but we LOVED Tuscan Grill.

Celebrity does have an evening self serve buffet but it is not a full buffet as you would expect for lunch or breakfast. It is more gearing towards stations such as Pizza, sushi, and a few other things.

That's what I thought, just snacks really. I suppose they are trying to channel people towards the dining venues...especially the pay ones!

You know-most of the pay choices do not appeal to me-except for this. We will use it boarding day, and if we find it really good, we will use it for dinner at least once on the busy port days.

They only do Crepes I think. Qsine is odd a sort of mezze thing really I liked it my wife was just confused. Murano was a bit too drawn out & posh, would have been better with another couple, Tuscan was wonderful!!
