Over the years, and as cruise travel has become popular, the gastronomy in them has evolved with new trends and concepts to respond to the most demanding palates, and to be at the level of the most exclusive restaurants and trends.
Among these concepts that are now being established on the ships is the so-called The Chef's Table, a place reserved for those who want to enjoy a luxury dinner with views of the kitchen, so as not to miss a detail of how the exquisite dishes are prepared. . One of the ships that has already been in place for a couple of years is the Vista restaurant, owned by the Carnival Corporation company.
What exactly is this about The Chef's Table? Well, a group of between 14 or 16 people sit around a luxurious table, decorated in detail, and the chef prepares seven courses and two desserts each night (usually dinners), in the case of the Vista, while he explains the details. of its elaboration, and the wine recommendations. This same experience with some other combination of details is being carried out in the restaurants of other companies such as the exclusive AmaWaterways, or on the Caribbean Princess ship. Holland America have created an experience similar to The Chef's Table, they have called it the Culinary Council, in which, in addition to showing you how the succulent dishes are cooked, the chefs advise you on the best type of menu according to the characteristics of your daily life.
As I have been able to read This type of dining experience is proving so successful that there are those who only book their trip if, in turn, they can reserve a place at the chef's table.
The interesting thing about the experience is that an exclusive menu is prepared for each group of people, depending on both the products available, and the peculiarities of the diners, whether they are vegetarians or vegans, intolerant to any food and things like that.
