MAKE IT SPECIAL
If you fancy a classic Italian feast, the talented chefs at Sabatini’s have been cooking up authentic recipes for nearly two decades. From hearty ragùs to homemade pasta that’s rolled and shaped by hand every day, this trattoria-style restaurant is the perfect place to experience the true flavours of Italy. Alternatively, The Catch by Rudi offers a seafood-centric menu created by Princess’ head of culinary arts, chef Rudi Sodamin. Here, you can choose from an array of boils, bakes and bisques made with local ingredients, plus there’s also a catch of the day and a lobster and raw seafood bar to explore.
And for meat lovers it has to be the Crown Grill, where you can tuck into cooked-to-order steaks that are aged and cut on board. This restaurant is also known for its unique take on the traditional French onion soup, which is flavoured with whiskey and topped with tangy roquefort cheese. Want to give it a go yourself? Read on to discover the full recipe – and if you want to make it vegetarian, simply swap the chicken stock for vegetable and use a vegetarian blue cheese, such as stilton or Saint Agur.
