Cuisine & Dining
Paul Gauguin’s restaurants are designed to complement and enhance the dining experience, not overwhelm it. Dining is unhurried and relaxed - you may enjoy the pleasures of the table without the regimentation of assigned seating or having to rush through your dessert. Here, the constraints of formal wear, tuxedos and ties are forgotten and the only dress code is relaxed and country-club casual. Select wines and spirits are served with dinner, or you may select an alternative vintage available for purchase from the wine cellar. During normal dining hours, you may choose from the restaurants’ menus and enjoy dinner in your stateroom or suite. A special 24-hour room service menu is also available.

La Veranda
La Veranda on Paul Gauguin - The French Restaurant inspired by Le Cordon Bleu
In both reality and the popular imagination no other country has approached France in terms of elevating its cuisine to a high art form. In spite of new trends and dietary habits, tradition still plays a major role in the French kitchen.
Le Cordon Bleu Chefs have created a menu for La Veranda not merely to explore the culinary highways and byways of France but to provide you with an extraordinary dining experience that captures the very essence of the country. The menu is artfully assembled to take you on a culinary journey from Provence to the Normandy and from Alsace to the Valley of the Loire. To accommodate your taste buds and health concerns, Le Cordon Bleu created lighter sauces and vegetarian options.
In perhaps no other country in the world does food and wines complement each other as fittingly as they do in France. This symbiotic relationship between the culinary and oenological arts is no mere accident. As wine styles evolved in areas like Burgundy, Bordeaux and the Valley of the Loire, regional cuisine evolved to match them. As the chefs take you on a grand culinary tour of the best of contemporary French cuisine you will have an opportunity to try the complimentary wines that make such a harmonious match with dishes.
Dinner reservations are required in La Veranda.
Le Grill
Greet the sun with a buffet breakfast at Le Grill. Or enjoy lunch by the pool on a choice of grilled favourites, salads and fresh tropical fruits. At night Le Grill is transformed into a cosy indoor/outdoor restaurant serving grilled specialties in a more casual atmosphere.
