The Best Cruise Restaurants Onboard Harmony Of The Seas

The newly Amplified Harmony of the Seas® offers crave-worthy dining options for the whole family. Check out our guide to the best cruise food onboard to discover the top cruise restaurants this award-winning ship has to offer.

By Amanda Mesa | Published on August 28, 2025

When it comes to delicious cruise food, Royal Caribbean is an industry pioneer. This award-winning brand has dreamed up some of the best cruise restaurants at sea — like Chops Grille^SM, Izumi Hibachi & Sushi, Samba Grill Brazilian Steakhouse. They’ve thought of everything, including fast-casual dining that’s convenient yet oh so crave-worthy, elevated eateries sure to dial up date night and special occasion meals, complimentary cruise dining that meets the same standards of quality as any top-tier restaurant on land and options for the even the pickiest eaters.

If food is an important aspect of any vacation to you, you’ll definitely want to think about cruising onboard Harmony of the Seas. Part of Royal Caribbean’s iconic Oasis Class, this award-winning cruise ship is home to some of the brand’s best-known and top-rated cruise restaurants, including the options mentioned above and a slew of other foodie favorites — like authentic Italian eats at Jamie’s Italian by Jamie Oliver, fresh seasonal cuisine served in an elevated setting at 150 Central Park, south-of-the border staples at El Loco Fresh and so much more.

Whatever you’re in the mood for, you’ll find an incredible array of cruise restaurants to choose from onboard Harmony of the Seas. We’ve rounded up some of the best options that await, including food that’s included in your fare, cruise fine dining and casual spots perfect for refueling in between adventures. Keep reading to learn more.

1. Café Promenade

If you’re in the mood for something quick and tasty, Café Promenade is always a great choice. As its name suggests, it’s located on the bustling Promenade of the ship and serves up quick-and-easy eats 24 hours a day, every day of your vacation. Drop by early in the morning for coffee and pastries to kickstart your day, or pick up a hearty breakfast sandwich or glazed cinnamon bun for extra energy. During lunch, dinner and late at night, you’ll find delicious finger-foods and fuss-free bites — like fried artichoke, savory meatballs, spicy marinated cheese and refreshing antipasti. If you have a sweet tooth, you should definitely try some of Café Promenade’s legendary sweets —their decadent Willy Wonka pies, Mudcakes and fluffy Led Zeppoles are long standing favorites among cruisers. Everything at Café Promenade is included in your cruise fare, so feel free to indulge as much and as often as you like.

2. Park Café

Here’s another fast-casual favorite, located in the ship’s Central Park neighborhood. Park Café is known for its dialed-up deli bites, like fresh salads tossed with all the toppings you want, fresh-pressed paninis stuffed with cold cuts and crisp greens, and Royal Caribbean’s iconic Royal Kümmelweck — a roast beef sandwich that you can only get on select Royal Caribbean ships. You’ll also find tasty desserts and treats here with which to end every meal on a sweet note, as well as a great breakfast spread to start your day with. Like Café Promenade, all the food at Park Café is complementary for cruise guests.

3. SAMBA GRILL BRAZILIAN STEAKHOUSE

Find your gourmet groove at the new Samba Grill Brazilian Steakhouse, where slow roasted meats are carved tableside. Start with sumptuous appetizers and sip your way to Rio Grande do Sul with a classic caipirinha. Then go from prime picanha to fall-off-the-bone beef ribs and beyond — all paired with the perfect vintage from an impressive wine list. Finish with decadent desserts like crème caramel and a tropical piña colada panna cotta. Taste a little or taste it all — the flavors here are as big as Brazil.

4. PLAYMAKERS SPORTS BAR & ARCADE

Your whole crew just found a new home base onboard the newly Amplified Harmony of the Seas — and it’s sure to be a crowd pleaser. With a menu of game-day favorites and icy-cold draughts on tap, anything you order at Playmakers Sports Bar & Arcade is a winner. And while you’re working on a signature Playmakers Burger or the five-scoop Touchdown Sundae, you can catch your home team live on dozens of screens. Or face off against your friends in the arcade for some friendly competition.

5. Jamie's Italian By Jamie Oliver

In addition to bold flavors from Mexico, Harmony of the Seas also takes foodies on a culinary journey to Tuscany at Jamie’s Italian by Jamie Oliver. A great spot for intimate family dinners, this casual trattoria-style specialty cruise restaurant highlights Tuscan-inspired cuisine crafted by one of the most iconic celebrity chefs in Britain. The menu here is all about seasonal ingredients and authentic recipes, and everything is served family-style. Start your meal with the restaurant’s creamy burrata and carta di musica bread, served with slow-roasted tomato and crisp arugula. Or share an order of the warm and fragrant buttermilk buns — they taste best spread with herby garlic butter. Truffle lovers go wild over the homemade tagliatelle, served in a decadent truffle cream sauce with just a dash of earthy nutmeg. And if you’re in the mood for seafood, you should definitely order Jamie’s famous prawn linguine. It’s tossed with big, garlicky prawns, shaved fennel, saffron and chili. If you fancy some vino with your meal, you’ll have lots of options to choose from — feel free to ask your waiter for a pairing recommendation.

6. EL LOCO FRESH

Give your taste buds something to go wild over at El Loco Fresh. This all-you-can-eat outdoor buffet serves up authentic Mexican fare that’s insanely delicious. Plus, dining here is included in your cruise fare, so swing by as many times as you’d like on your sailing. Grab a beef burrito or spice up carnitas with all your favorite toppings at one of two fresh salsa carts before topping off your creation with heaps of fresh guac. It’s a fiesta from south of the border and the craziest thing about it is just how good it is.

7. Izumi Hibachi & Sushi

When you have a reservation at Izumi Hibachi & Sushi, every meal is an unforgettable show. This Royal Caribbean staple has been wowing guests for years on various cruise ships — including Harmony of the Seas. The menu was designed to transport diners to the top culinary capitals of the Far East, from Taipei to Tokyo, Seoul to Singapore and beyond. Tease your taste buds with crispy chicken karaage to start, and make sure to dip it into the sweet Thai chili sauce it comes with. Then savor some of Izumi’s signature sushi rolls, including a beloved option that spotlights tender lobster and creamy avocado in a delightful champagne sauce. On the teppanyaki menu, you’ll find succulent sea scallops, savory NY steak seared to perfection, juicy tiger shrimp and more. Plus, an incredible vegetable fried rice prepared tableside that serves as the perfect accompaniment to any entree.

8. 150 Central Park

Without a doubt, 150 Central Park is the culinary jewel of the Central Park neighborhood onboard Harmony of the Seas. Every dish at this smart-casual specialty cruise restaurant spotlights locally sourced ingredients harvested at their freshest. The crispy Berkshire pork belly is the ultimate way to begin any meal here — it comes sizzling in a port wine reduction over parsnip puree paired with tart apple and watermelon radish slaw. The braised short rib is also a must-try app. You’ll love how the tender, savory meat complements the creamy mascarpone polenta, roasted heirloom carrots and crispy onions it comes served with. As far as mains go, the duck duo is a guest favorite. Seared to perfection, it’s served with juicy poached pears, roasted brussels sprouts and sweet pearl onions. That said, you also can’t go wrong with the pan-seared halibut, prepared in a rich truffle and saffron hollandaise sauce. With so many delicious options to choose from, you’ll definitely want to come back multiple times during your cruise getaway.

9. Coastal Kitchen

If you’re a Pinnacle guest or staying in a Junior Suite, you can indulge in deliciously fresh dining at Coastal Kitchen. Dishes here blend Mediterranean and Pacific Coast influences to bring you light, flavorful fare — like garlicky escargots a la Bourguignonne, delicate roasted veal tenderloin prepared in a vin jaune sauce with fava beans, sweet caramelized onions and creamy green pea puree, and fluffy rosewater panna cotta topped with hand-cut seasonal fruit, kiwi coulis and almond tuile. What’s more, the menu at Coastal Kitchen rotates frequently, so you can try new items every time you visit. If your long-standing favorites aren’t on the night’s selection, just ask your waiter if the team can prepare them for you off-menu. You’ll also find a long wine list to accompany dinner, featuring vintages from Napa to Tuscany.

10. Solarium Bistro

Located just steps from the adults-only Solarium, the Solarium Bistro is the perfect place to soak up stunning ocean views al fresco while indulging in mouthwateringly good Med-inspired dishes. In the morning, it’s all about this cruise restaurant’s impressive breakfast spread — which includes seasonal fruit, creamy yogurt, savory grilled sausage and eggs prepared any way you want them. Not to mention continental classics like flaky pastries and filling bagels with a selection of jams, lox, cheeses and butter. During lunchtime, you can dig into crisp Greek salad, fresh mussels, toasted pita dipped in cool tzatziki, flavorful lamb jobs served with mint jus and buttery lobster sprinkled with citrus. Some dishes here rotate daily, and everything is complimentary.
