Iona
The Olive Grove
March
The Olive Grove provides a lovely ambience and feels like a restaurant in Greece!
A small additional charge for certain dishes but worth every penny!
Here’s the menu for this great little gem on IONA.
To start - Greek Mezze - no charge. A sharing plate for two.
The Kalamata Olives were the most tasty olives I have ever eaten. Really soft and bursting with Greek flavour.
Beef Kofta hanging Kebab was soft, melts in your mouth and well-seasoned served with a sweet sauce. Quality of meat is great no gristle or fat. Nice presentation ... got to try it!
Lasagne was served hot and very cheesey, not much meat but tasty dish and good size.
Seafood, Chicken & Chorizo Paella for one! Only £4.50 for this amazing dish packed with so many ingredients. Rice was bit watery and could have been cooked 5 minutes more.
Crème Brulee with a crispy caramel topping and delicate flavour. Delight...crunchy top and a light dessert ... not sweet but worth squeezing in .... delicious!

Epicurean Restaurant

In the Atlantic ocean en-route to Teneriffe.
Good morning - view from my cabin!
Epicurean Restaurant
Dining in the Epicurean alternative restaurant... extra £30 a head but worth it. Fantastic service and ambience at sea.
The Scallops were cooked perfectly and delicious!
Black Cod and Lobster is a delicate combination of sea food at its best and with the best chips I have ever had... so good I ordered double 😋
A treat for a night of some fine dining at affordable costs.
Must book as early as possible to avoid disappointment.

The Beach House Restaurant
Nice mix of halibut and salmon.
Unusual starter but a lovely combination and nicely prepared.
Chicken wings were spicy and cooked well.
Wow, delicious mix of lobsters, king prawns and red snapper... perfectly cooked.
Red snapper amazingly cooked.
Big portion if hungry
Never dreamed I would have too much 🦞 in a meal!
Not fine dining but fun dining!
Plentiful and good value grub at sea.
