An essential element of French culture, gastronomy is naturally a priority aboard PONANT ships. Fresh products, carefully selected ingredients, refined dishes: throughout your cruise, you will appreciate outstanding cuisine prepared by talented chefs sharing their passion for French culinary heritage.
In a setting worthy of the finest restaurants, you will discover subtle and audacious flavors, interspersed with inspirations drawn from the local ports of call.
Accompanied by a selection of cheese and wines presented by expert sommeliers, cuisine translates Ponant's desire to cultivate a certain French touch.
Ponant's sister ships (Le Boréal, L’Austral, Le Soléal and Le Lyrial) welcome you with a choice of two restaurants on board to suit your desires. So make the most of your five-star cruise, whether in the intimate atmosphere of the Gastronomic Restaurant or the more relaxed setting of the Grill Restaurant.
