Restaurants

Taste, Savor and Manhattan

Taste and Savor are the two smaller dining rooms and open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The Manhattan Room is the very large dinner venue, which is beautifully decorated and has a smart casual dress code. The dining rooms cater for different food choices and allergies, and it's a good idea to let the staff know of your food requirements when booking your cruise. Gluten free, vegetarian and spicy items are however marked as such on the lunch and dinner menus.

Garden Cafe

The lovely Garden Cafe buffet is on deck sixteen and offers indoor and outdoor seating areas. If you sit outside, you will have a lovely view of the Norwegian Bliss' main pool area. While there's plenty of space available, the seats become much busier during their peak hours that range from 8 to 9:30 am on port days and noon to 1 pm for lunch on sea days. They serve daily breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as having some evening snacks available.

Local Bar & Grill

This twenty-four-seven pub style restaurant is on deck seven and is very popular with guests. It's a casual eatery that is situated above the atrium, which gives it a buzzy feel. A good insider tip is to have breakfast here as many guests forget that it's open for breakfast. Lunch and dinner offer pub food such as fish and chips, chillies and chicken wings. They also have many hot dog and burger options and some delicious desserts.

The Observation Lounge

Located on deck fifteen, this is the perfect place to go if you want a lighter breakfast or lunch. They serve continental breakfasts and have some great lunch options such as a DIY salad bar, sandwiches, deli meats and cheeses and a few mouth-watering desserts.
