Explora 1 Cruising with Elevated Dining

Uncategorized, ,

Our first night onboard and I had to satisfy a craving for Dover sole so off we went to Fil Rouge.

Crab Cake

I started with the Cajun spiced jumbo lump crab cake with roasted cherry tomato aioli. I believe I’ve perfected the crab cake at home but this was a winner.

Tuna Tataki

David had the tuna tataki tart and the combination of tuna on a crispy tomato olive tart was surprising and delicious.

Caesar Salad

Standard Caesar salad, the paprika croutons and excellent anchovy took it up a notch.

Crudities

Who knew crudities could be so good? David said he’d order it again.

Dover Sole

The Dover sole did not disappoint. Deboned table side, we added some French green beans and irresistible Franck’s mashed potatoes for a perfect meal.

Accompanied by a lovely Chenin Blanc from Domaine Mosny, Loire. Cheers!

Miami Stopover

Baku Special Salad

On our way to Columbia we had a night in Miami and met friends for dinner at Baku Asian Fusion Bar by Shois. The crab, wakame and shrimp salad with ponzu sauce was outstanding.

Sushi Rolls

The sushi rolls were enormous and delicious.

Soft Shell Crab Rice Burger

A soft shell crab burger used 2 layers of crispy rice cake for a bun. You would never pick it up but it was good for sharing and the sauces were great.

We had a couple of other dishes but these were the standouts. An interesting restaurant with an “experience” room with special menu. Out of the way location but very good food.
