Royal Caribbean Coastal Kitchen Lunch Menu
Coastal Kitchen is Royal Caribbean’s suite-focused restaurant combining Mediterranean influences with flavors inspired by California. The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner to eligible guests, and its menus rotate, giving passengers the opportunity to find different dishes during their cruise. These two Coastal Kitchen lunch menus show just how much the selection can vary, with dishes ranging from lobster and scallops to steak frites, seafood linguini, risotto and grilled swordfish.

Coastal Kitchen Lunch Menu – Menu 2
The second photographed lunch menu is substantially different, demonstrating the rotating nature of Coastal Kitchen’s offerings.
This version includes Maine lobster salad, seafood velouté and creamy truffle risotto among the appetizers, followed by entrées including shrimp risotto, lobster and shrimp cannelloni, salmon, ribs, steak frites and lasagna.

Entrées
The second lunch menu includes:

This menu provides a broad mix of seafood, beef and pork dishes.
The Sticky Pineapple and Rum BBQ Ribs bring a Caribbean-influenced combination of pineapple, rum, coconut rice and pigeon peas, while Steak Frites provides a classic steak-and-fries option.
Seafood remains prominent through the Shrimp Risotto, Lobster and Shrimp Cannelloni and Salmon “A La Plancha.”
Desserts
Desserts on the second menu include:
- Floating Island – silky meringue floating on vanilla cream sauce topped with spun caramelized sugar

Does the Coastal Kitchen Lunch Menu Change?
Yes. Royal Caribbean specifically describes Coastal Kitchen as having menus that rotate frequently.
The two photographed menus provide a good example. Although a few dishes remain consistent—including the Classic Caesar Salad, Margherita Flatbread, Seasonal Fruit Medley and Ice Cream—the majority of the appetizers, entrées and desserts are different.
Passengers therefore should not assume that every dish pictured here will necessarily be offered on every day or every sailing.
What Is Coastal Kitchen on Royal Caribbean?
Coastal Kitchen is a Royal Caribbean dining venue created primarily for qualifying suite guests.
Royal Caribbean describes its cuisine as combining Mediterranean influences with ingredients and flavors associated with California. The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, although access depends on a passenger’s eligible suite category or qualifying loyalty benefits.
Unlike a large buffet such as Windjammer, Coastal Kitchen provides an à la carte restaurant experience.
The venue is part of the Royal Suite Class experience offered aboard Royal Caribbean’s Oasis, Quantum and Icon Class ships.
Which Royal Caribbean Ships Have Coastal Kitchen?
Royal Caribbean currently lists Royal Suite Class on the following ships:
- Allure of the Seas
- Anthem of the Seas
- Harmony of the Seas
- Hero of the Seas
- Icon of the Seas
- Legend of the Seas
- Oasis of the Seas
- Odyssey of the Seas
- Ovation of the Seas
- Quantum of the Seas
- Spectrum of the Seas
- Star of the Seas
- Symphony of the Seas
- Utopia of the Seas
- Wonder of the Seas
Royal Caribbean identifies Coastal Kitchen as one of the exclusive dining venues associated with Royal Suite Class. Because ships, restaurants and suite benefits can change, passengers should verify the dining venues offered on their particular ship before sailing.
Who Can Eat Lunch at Coastal Kitchen?
Access depends on suite category.
Royal Caribbean currently states that Sky Class and Star Class guests receive all-day access to Coastal Kitchen, including breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Sea Class benefits are different. Sea Class guests receive Coastal Kitchen dinner access based on availability rather than the same all-day access provided to Sky and Star Class.
Pinnacle Club members may also have access to Coastal Kitchen subject to availability and Royal Caribbean’s current Crown & Anchor Society rules. On sailings where access is restricted because of capacity, additional limitations can apply.
Passengers should therefore check the benefits associated with their particular suite or loyalty status rather than assuming Coastal Kitchen lunch is available to every suite category.
Are Reservations Required?
Royal Caribbean recommends reservations for Coastal Kitchen and specifically requires reservations for dinner, subject to availability.
Because Coastal Kitchen is an exclusive venue with limited seating, passengers eligible to dine there should check availability onboard and make reservations where necessary.
Is Coastal Kitchen Included?
Royal Caribbean lists Coastal Kitchen as an included dining venue for guests who qualify for access.
Beverages are not automatically included simply because a passenger has access to Coastal Kitchen. Drinks are subject to the passenger’s beverage package or individual beverage charges, where applicable.
Coastal Kitchen Cuisine
These two lunch menus illustrate the combination of Mediterranean, Californian and international influences that Royal Caribbean uses to describe Coastal Kitchen.
Across the two menus, guests can find dishes such as:
- Seafood and shellfish
- Risotto
- Pasta
- Steak
- Salmon
- Swordfish
- Salads
- Flatbread
- Sandwiches
- Desserts and fresh fruit
There are also dishes drawing on a wider range of flavors, including Ras El Hanout Seasoned Swordfish and Sticky Pineapple and Rum BBQ Ribs.
For passengers who qualify for access, Coastal Kitchen can therefore provide a quieter alternative to Royal Caribbean’s larger complimentary lunch venues while still offering a substantial à la carte menu.
