Norwegian Cruise Line is famous for the delicious onboard dining, from the expansive complimentary options to the elevated specialty restaurants; and one of the areas in which NCL excels is with their global cuisine. Norwegian fans have long enjoyed Mexican, Indian, Italian, French, Asian, and many more global flavors throughout the fleet; with the food being a big reason why guests come back time and time again. One unique dining option found onboard Norwegian Bliss, Encore, Escape, Joy, Prima, and Viva is Food Republic.
Food Republic has married Asian and Latin flavors to create delicious dishes that guests can enjoy each and every evening for dinner. There is a roll menu featuring a Crispy Salmon Roll, and Rock Shrimp Roll with spicy tuna, avocado, mango, and spicy aioli. Handhelds include Kanpachi Wonton Tacos and Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps. Sharable plate options include Spicy Korean Fried Chicken, Tuna Poké Nachos, and Pork Belly & Scallion Potstickers. This is the perfect restaurant to satisfy all your savory cravings while onboard.
