Princess Takes Pub Grub To A New Level
Princess Cruises is pairing gourmet small dishes inspired by pub favourites with craft beers, cocktails and wines with the debut of The Salty Dog Gastropub aboard Crown Princess.
The menu offerings, including a signature burger, were developed in collaboration with former executive chef of Umami Burger and current chef of Plan Check Kitchen + Bar in Los Angeles Ernesto Uchimura, who was recently awarded “Chef of the Year: The Comfort Master,” from Los Angeles Magazine.
Presented within the Wheelhouse Bar nightly, guests can choose three small plates from The Salty Dog menu featuring new twists on classic pub dishes. Plates include Pale Ale Pork Cheeks, Spicy Stout Short Ribs, Wild Mushroom Sauté, and Lobster Mac & Cheese, among other options.
The pièce de résistance is “The Ernesto” burger from Chef Uchimura – rib eye and short rib beef patty, grilled pork belly, caramelized kimchi, beer battered jalapeño, charred onion aioli, topped with cave aged gruyere cheese.
Adjacent to The Salty Dog Gastropub, also in the Wheelhouse Bar, is an expansive new, international whiskey bar menu, featuring some of the best Scotch whiskeys, American Bourbons and international whiskeys from areas including Japan, Ireland and Australia.
The Salty Dog Gastropub and new international whiskey menu will also debut aboard Emerald Princess and Ruby Princess in mid-December. A food charge of US$19 per guest applies.
