Bistro Sur Le Mer

Bistro Sur Le Mer is a relatively newer specialty restaurant.  It is French cuisine.  We have dined here a few times, 3 times actually when we were on Majestic for 5 weeks in the Fall.  

It probably is not for everyone.  You kinda have to be a foodie and open to trying new things, and if you are a picky eater, don't go.  Although there are basic items too.

But for us we love food and trying new things.  We are adventurous eaters.  For a $29 cover fee this is a steal.  A meal like this at home would be at minimum $125 each.

When we are sat our waiter is saying, hey I remember you.  As we try to figure out where we finally figure it out.  He was on the Star Princess in 2019 when we did the South Pacific.  He was one of our servers every day in Sabatinis for breakfast.

We start with some wine that is recommended.  It takes no time to be delivered.  Soon we are cheering ... life is amazing, we are so blessed.


The started is goat cheese with olive coating.  They look like olives, but they aren't.  So good with the bread!  Also little polenta logs that are fried and served with two sauces.  

I had the escargot balls.  Now I hear so many complain about this dish.  It is not the usual escargot smothered in garlic and butter served in the dish from the 70s.  These are still escargot surrounded in garlic butter but then chilled, then rolled in a coating and deep fried.  Our server instructs us to just eat with fingers and pop in your mouth.  If you cut into it the juice will run out, or worse squirt out. 


So I pop it in and bite!  Wow, great tip.  The garlic, butter and escargot fill my mouth.  

Bernie has the tuna tar tar with papaya and other things.   Served with thin vegetable chips.  Amazing!

For our main I have the fillet of beef and Bernie the seabass.  Both were phenomenal.



For dessert Bernie has the rum Babba, definitely sealed in rum.  I have the bignets with the citrus  gelee.  One of my favorites.  Top it off with two cappuccinos and we are happy.


We have the Princess Plus.  We got dinner for two in a specialty restaurant as a perk.  When we boarded we went and reserved for here  for tonight but they had already automatically made a reservation for us for one of the first days.  Which is good as it does fill up.  We cancel it and have just the one booking.

The next morning we have pushed under our door our reservation confirmation, but it is for the original date.  But I am not concerned as via the app or tv I can see my confirmed bookings.  Also we have our 2 coupins for the free meal.

I have to say we enjoyed our meal in Bistro on Majestic, but Enchanted is way way better.  Service is not rushed, server has help with an assistant.  Food is beautifuly presented and better.  

Food all over the ship is top notch and where there were concerns on the Majestic I am going to say it is because of other things.  Supply issues?  Lack of staff - who knows.
