Norwegian Gem

Restaurants

Two main complimentary dining rooms serve open-seating breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Specialty restaurants, including NCL's signature French restaurant Le Bistro, Cagney's Steakhouse, an Asian restaurant, sushi bar, teppanyaki room, tapas and salsa eatery, and an Italian trattoria-style restaurant carry varying cover charges and require reservations. Screens located throughout the ship illustrate the status (full, moderately busy, empty) and waiting time you can expect for each restaurant on board. Casual choices are the Lido Buffet for breakfast, lunch, and dinner; Blue Lagoon for soup, sandwiches, and snacks around the clock; and the poolside grill for lunch. Java Café serves specialty coffees and pastries for an additional charge. Although the 24-hour room service menu is somewhat limited, suite occupants may order from any restaurant on the ship.
