Reimagined luxury knows no bounds. Such is the case with Crystal and their pursuit of perfection on voyages around the world. And now, the cruise line has undoubtedly outdone itself on a gastronomic level that definitely raises the “bar.”
Crystal has embarked on a partnership with Beefbar, a celebrated restaurant concept with 20 locations around the world – including Paris, Milan, St.Barths and Hong Kong. In summer 2024, Beefbar will debut on luxury ships the Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony.
Originating in Monte-Carlo from the keen mind of visionary restaurateur Riccardo Giraudi, Beefbar is more than just a butcher-themed steak place, it is a revelation in the art of preparing meat, setting a precedent that has never been reached before, particularly at sea.
Crystal is quite proud to be the first cruise line to offer the Beefbar food concept at sea, adding significantly to the cruise line’s already incredible culinary offerings, which include Umi Uma, the exclusive dining experience crafted by Michelin-star Chef Nobuyuki, making it the sole Nobu restaurant at sea.
Prepare yourself for a true taste sensation
Beefbar’s menu is trilateral, with great cuts of meat sourced from the United States, Japan and Australia; street food inspired by popular international recipes; and iconic global favorites that please a variety of palates – delivered in the style of an elevated butcher shop of marble and brass.
“Food is the new fashion” is one of Giraudi’s taglines. This food entrepreneur – a.k.a. Beefboy – is heralded for not only the success of dozens of restaurants, but also for running one of the most successful businesses trading in rare cuts of meat, provided to some of the world’s top restaurants.
Crystal guests will enjoy Beefbar’s signature culinary excellence for lunch and dinner, with menus featuring prime cuts of meat, with vegetarian and vegan options available as well. Diners who hold dear their old favorites from Crystal’s Tastes dining room will still be able to enjoy those signature dishes, too.
Be immersed in flawless Crystal refinement
As we are all aware, Crystal has been setting a new standard across the board, with award-winning voyages that herald a new era in cruising. This high plateau also includes another collaboration, namely that of the Abercrombie & Kent shore excursions, which has won over the hearts of all who have experienced the new Crystal. It really is refinement everywhere you look.
Come sail the routes that revel in the true indulgence of a new food experience. Let the Tully Travel Designers get you a coveted seat at this exclusive table so you can revel in Beefbar, too – set to captivate the palates of guests right until the very last bite.
