Azamara The Patio Dinner Menu
The Patio is a casual outdoor dining venue aboard Azamara ships, and while many passengers may associate it with lunch, it can also be an option for dinner.
The photographed dinner menu below shows a surprisingly broad selection, ranging from grilled steaks, lamb, ribs, chicken, and seafood to vegetable lasagna and a plant-based cauliflower steak. Guests can also choose from several sauces, vegetables, starches, and desserts.
For travelers researching Azamara restaurants and dining before a cruise, this menu provides a useful look at the type of dinner offered at The Patio.
Dinner at The Patio on Azamara
The Patio menu is organized around a casual grill-style dinner. Rather than following a traditional multi-course main dining room format, it offers a selection of grilled entrées that can be combined with sauces and side dishes.
The menu also begins with lighter options. Under “Go Green,” guests are directed to the salad bar, while the “Warm it Up” section offers the soup of the day.
Freshly baked artisan bread with herb butter is also listed.
Hot Off the Grill
The largest part of The Patio dinner menu is appropriately called “Hot Off the Grill.”
The meat selections shown include:
- Beef Paillard – 6 oz
- Striploin – 8 oz
- BBQ Pork Ribs
- Tournedos of Lamb Tenderloin – 6 oz, served with hummus
- Chicken Cordon Bleu
- Grilled Curried Chicken Kebabs
- Angus Beef Burger – 8 oz on a toasted brioche bun
The burger can be topped with Swiss, blue, or cheddar cheese.
There is also a pan-seared sumac and walnut spiced cauliflower steak, identified on the menu as a plant-based option.
With everything from steak and lamb to ribs and burgers, The Patio provides several choices for passengers looking for a relatively straightforward grilled dinner.
Seafood at The Patio
The seafood portion of the grill menu offers two selections.
The Salmon Steak is served with pink peppercorns, while a Fish of the Day is also available.
Both dishes are identified as gluten-free on the photographed menu.
Pasta and World Cuisine
Guests looking beyond the grill have additional choices.
The pasta selection shown on this menu is Vegetable Lasagna with Creamy Tomato Sauce, identified as vegetarian.
There is also a “World Cuisine” section. Rather than naming a specific dish, the menu states:
“Destination Immersion served onboard.”
Because the photograph does not identify the particular destination-inspired dish offered with this menu, it cannot be determined from the available material.
Sauces for Grilled Entrées
One of the advantages of the grill-focused format is the ability to customize an entrée with different sauces and toppings.
The “Top it Off” section includes:
- Chimichurri
- Red Wine – Port Sauce
- Sour Cream – Paprika Sauce
- Creamy Mushroom Sauce
- Garlic – Herb Butter
Several of these are marked gluten-free, while the chimichurri is also identified as plant-based.
Side Dishes
The Patio divides its side dishes into vegetables and starches, giving guests plenty of options for building a meal around their chosen entrée.
Vegetable sides include steamed vegetables, corn on the cob, sautéed vegetables, ratatouille, and sautéed mushrooms.
The starch selections include French fries, baked potato, mashed potato, pilaf rice, and couscous.
The menu identifies numerous sides as gluten-free, while some are also marked as plant-based.
Dessert at The Patio
The dessert section is appropriately called “Sweet Finish.”
Frozen yogurt is one of the featured choices, with the menu inviting guests to add their own toppings.
Other selections include Pie of the Day, Cake of the Day, Fruit Salad, and Cookies.
The fruit salad is marked as both gluten-free and plant-based.
Because the menu only identifies the pie and cake as daily selections, the specific flavors served with this particular dinner are not shown.
Vegetarian, Plant-Based and Gluten-Free Choices
The photographed menu identifies dishes using dietary abbreviations, making it relatively easy to spot several alternatives to the meat-focused grill selections.
The pan-seared sumac and walnut spiced cauliflower steak is identified as plant-based, while the vegetable lasagna is marked vegetarian.
There are also numerous gluten-free selections, including several grilled meats and seafood dishes, sauces, and side dishes.
Passengers with allergies or specific dietary requirements should still confirm ingredients and preparation with the onboard staff, particularly because the menu includes the standard advisory regarding raw or undercooked meats, seafood, shellfish, eggs, milk, and poultry.
What Makes The Patio Different From Other Azamara Dining?
The menu photographed here shows a dinner built around flexibility and relatively familiar foods.
Passengers can select a grilled entrée and then pair it with their preferred sauce and sides. Someone looking for a steak can choose the striploin, while other guests can opt for lamb, pork ribs, chicken, salmon, fish, a burger, vegetable lasagna, or the cauliflower steak.
That variety can make The Patio useful for passengers who want a casual dinner rather than a more structured restaurant experience.
