Virgin Voyages Restaurant Menus, Dining & Food Guide
Introduction
The Virgin Voyages menus featured on this page were generously donated by fellow sailors and provide an excellent look at the dining options currently available across the fleet.
Unlike most cruise lines, Virgin Voyages does not have a traditional main dining room. Instead, sailors can choose from a collection of specialty restaurants, casual eateries, food halls, and grab-and-go venues that are largely included in the cruise fare.
This guide compiles menus from multiple Virgin Voyages restaurants, helping future sailors see current food offerings, restaurant concepts, and dining styles before their cruise. Whether you’re interested in Korean BBQ, upscale Mexican cuisine, steakhouse classics, experimental tasting menus, or casual food hall dining, Virgin Voyages offers one of the most unique dining programs at sea.
Virgin Voyages Restaurants Overview
One of the biggest differences between Virgin Voyages and traditional cruise lines is its restaurant-focused dining model. Rather than relying on a large main dining room, the fleet features a collection of unique restaurants, each with its own theme and menu.
The Wake
The Wake serves as Virgin Voyages’ upscale steakhouse and seafood restaurant. Known for its elegant atmosphere, ocean views, brunch service, premium steaks, and seafood towers, it remains one of the most popular dining venues onboard.
Pink Agave
Pink Agave offers elevated Mexican cuisine inspired by regional flavors from across Mexico. The restaurant is known for its vibrant atmosphere, creative dishes, and extensive tequila and mezcal selections.
Gunbae
Gunbae is Virgin Voyages’ Korean BBQ restaurant, combining tabletop grilling, interactive dining, and traditional Korean flavors in one of the most unique restaurant experiences at sea.
Extra Virgin
Extra Virgin focuses on Italian cuisine, featuring handmade pasta, antipasti, fresh ingredients, and classic Mediterranean flavors.
Razzle Dazzle
Originally known for its vegetarian-forward menu, Razzle Dazzle has evolved into a restaurant that balances healthier options with indulgent comfort foods, particularly during brunch service.
Test Kitchen
Test Kitchen delivers an experimental tasting-menu experience where guests are presented with ingredient lists rather than traditional menu descriptions, creating an element of surprise throughout the meal.
The Galley
The Galley replaces the traditional cruise buffet with a modern food hall concept offering burgers, tacos, ramen, sushi, sandwiches, breakfast favorites, and more through multiple made-to-order stations.
The Galley Lunch Menu
The Galley serves as Virgin Voyages’ replacement for the traditional cruise ship buffet. Rather than long buffet lines and steam trays, guests order freshly prepared food from a collection of individual food stations.
Popular venues within The Galley include Burger Bar, Bento Baby sushi, Noodle Around ramen, Hot Off The Press sandwiches, and the taco station. The menu shown here highlights the variety available, ranging from burgers and fries to sushi rolls, ramen bowls, tacos, salads, sandwiches, and breakfast favorites.
Many sailors consider The Galley one of the best casual dining concepts at sea because food is prepared to order while still maintaining the convenience of a buffet-style venue.
The Wake Brunch Menu
The Wake is widely regarded as one of the premier brunch venues on Virgin Voyages. The menu combines traditional brunch favorites with upscale steakhouse offerings and ocean views.
Popular selections featured on this menu include Eggs in a Hole, Steak & Eggs, Brioche French Toast, and several Benedict variations. Guests looking for lighter fare can choose salads and seafood appetizers, while dessert options include Coconut Panna Cotta, Apple Tatin, and Crêpe Cake.
Because brunch at The Wake is highly popular, reservations are recommended whenever possible.
The Wake Dinner Menu
For dinner, The Wake transforms into an upscale steakhouse and seafood restaurant. The menu features premium cuts of beef, fresh seafood, elegant starters, and one of the most sought-after dining experiences onboard.
Popular entrées include Filet Mignon, New York Strip Steak, Lamb Chops, Herb Roasted Chicken, and Pan Roasted Atlantic Salmon. Guests can customize their meals with a variety of sides and sauces.
One of the most searched items on The Wake menu is the Raw Bar and Seafood Tower selection. Available in multiple sizes, these seafood platters feature oysters, lobster, shrimp, crab, and shellfish, making them one of the signature dining experiences offered by Virgin Voyages.
Sun Club Café Menu
Located near the athletic areas of the ship, Sun Club Café is one of the most overlooked dining venues onboard. While many sailors focus on the larger restaurants, this casual venue offers a variety of lighter meals and snacks throughout the day.
The menu includes poke bowls, bao buns, dips, salads, and other lighter options designed for guests looking for a quick meal without visiting one of the main restaurants.
Because of its location and limited crowds, Sun Club Café often becomes a favorite hidden gem among repeat Virgin Voyages sailors.
Test Kitchen Menu
Test Kitchen is one of the most unique dining experiences found on any cruise ship. Rather than presenting traditional menu descriptions, guests receive ingredient lists and discover each course as it is served.
The menus shown here highlight the restaurant’s experimental approach to dining. Ingredients such as corn, truffle, salmon, cucumber, lamb, pistachio, mushroom, caviar, scallop, hazelnuts, eel, soy, and yuzu appear without revealing exactly how they will be prepared.
This tasting-menu format creates an element of surprise throughout the meal and has helped make Test Kitchen one of the most talked-about restaurants across the Virgin Voyages fleet.
Pink Agave Menu
Pink Agave is Virgin Voyages’ upscale Mexican restaurant, offering modern interpretations of regional Mexican cuisine in one of the most visually impressive dining rooms at sea.
The menus shown here feature a variety of small plates, medium plates, entrées, and premium specialty selections designed for sharing.
Pink Agave is consistently ranked among the top restaurants across the Virgin Voyages fleet and is often considered a must-try dining experience for first-time sailors.
The Dock House & Opa Hour Menu
Located at the aft of the ship, The Dock House is one of the most relaxing dining venues onboard. Inspired by Mediterranean beach clubs, the venue combines ocean views, comfortable seating, cocktails, and light bites throughout the day.
Unlike the larger restaurants, The Dock House offers a more casual experience and is a favorite gathering place during sailaways and sea days.
Open Fire Grill Selections
The menu shown here includes:
- Goat Cheese Polenta
- Grilled Shrimp with garlic yogurt and aleppo butter
- Spanish Octopus
- Fire-Roasted Chicken Thigh

The Mediterranean-inspired menu focuses on grilled meats, seafood, fresh vegetables, and bold flavors.

Many sailors consider The Dock House one of the hidden gems of the fleet because it offers excellent food without requiring reservations.
