47° on Marella Discovery and Marella Discovery 2
The restaurant you were thinking of is called 47° — pronounced “47 Degrees” — rather than “Lunch 47.”
Marella officially identifies 47° as the main dining restaurant on:
- Marella Discovery
- Marella Discovery 2
It is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and provides waiter service. Marella describes the restaurant as a large dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows and a grand double staircase leading to the upper-level dining venue.
That upper restaurant is Gallery 47°, which operates as an Italian restaurant at dinner. It should not be confused with the main 47° restaurant featured here.
Is Lunch at 47° Included?
Yes. Marella currently lists 47° among the dining venues included as standard on both Marella Discovery and Marella Discovery 2.
That makes it an alternative to eating lunch at the buffet or grabbing something from one of the ships’ more casual venues.
The photographed lunch menu itself does not show prices for any of the dishes.
Marella does offer optional “Treat Yourself” dishes in its main restaurants that carry an additional charge, but none of the dishes visible on this particular menu are identified as Treat Yourself selections.
Marella 47° Lunch Starters
Four starters are available on the photographed menu:
- Tzatziki (V) – cucumber, yoghurt and chilli oil with toasted pitta bread
- Chef’s salad (V, GF) – lettuce, tomato, cucumber, red onion and sweetcorn, served with a choice of tuna flakes, grilled chicken or feta cheese
- Mulligatawny soup – with chopped coriander
- Strips of Iberico pork (GF) – spiced honey and orange glaze with pickled radish
There is a good amount of variety for a lunch menu. Guests looking for something lighter can choose tzatziki or salad, while the Iberico pork provides a more substantial starter.
The Chef’s salad is particularly flexible because diners can choose between tuna, grilled chicken or feta cheese.
Vegetarian and Gluten-Free Starters
The menu uses dietary symbols to make suitable dishes easier to identify.
Tzatziki is marked vegetarian, while the Chef’s salad is marked vegetarian and gluten-free. Because the Chef’s salad can be ordered with different toppings, guests with specific dietary requirements should still discuss their selection with the restaurant team.
The Iberico pork is also marked gluten-free.
Marella includes an allergen notice at the bottom of the menu explaining that food and drinks are prepared in environments where allergens and gluten are used and traces may be present.
Main Courses at 47°
The lunch menu offers six main courses:
- Lamb pie – sautéed potatoes, green vegetables and mint sauce
- Chicken, bacon and cheddar melt – white bloomer and chips
- BBQ cauliflower and chickpea tacos (VO) – avocado, lime coleslaw and sour cream
- Fish and chips – mushy peas and tartar sauce
- House bacon cheeseburger* – beef quarterpounder with bacon, cheese, lettuce, tomato and onion, served in a bun with signature fries tossed with herbs and Parmesan
- Black bean burger (VE) – black bean burger with lettuce, tomato and onion, served in a bun with chips
The menu combines familiar British lunch dishes with lighter and plant-based alternatives.
Fish and Chips
Fish and chips is one of the most recognizable choices on the menu and is served with mushy peas and tartar sauce.
The dish also matches Marella’s official description of the type of food passengers can expect from its main waiter-service restaurants. Marella specifically mentions fish and chips among the traditional dishes served in its main dining venues.
For passengers who want a traditional British-style lunch while cruising, this is one of the simplest choices on the menu.
Lamb Pie
Another distinctly British option is the lamb pie.
It comes with sautéed potatoes, green vegetables and mint sauce, making it one of the more substantial meals available at lunchtime.
Unlike several of the lighter dishes, the lamb pie is essentially a complete plated meal and could be a good choice for passengers who prefer a larger lunch rather than relying on snacks between lunch and dinner.
Chicken, Bacon and Cheddar Melt
The chicken, bacon and cheddar melt is served on white bloomer with chips.
It sits somewhere between a sandwich and a full hot entrée and adds another familiar casual option alongside the burgers and fish and chips.
BBQ Cauliflower and Chickpea Tacos
For guests looking for a meat-free alternative, the menu offers BBQ cauliflower and chickpea tacos.
They are served with:
- Avocado
- Lime coleslaw
- Sour cream
The menu marks this dish “VO,” meaning a vegan option is available.
Because the standard description includes sour cream, passengers wanting the vegan preparation should specify that when ordering.
House Bacon Cheeseburger
The house bacon cheeseburger consists of a beef quarterpounder topped with bacon, cheese, lettuce, tomato and onion.
It is served in a bun alongside signature fries tossed with herbs and Parmesan.
The menu also includes an important note:
“Burger patty contains small amount of pork.”
Guests who avoid pork should therefore not assume that removing the bacon makes this particular burger pork-free.
Black Bean Burger
The dedicated vegan burger is the black bean burger.
It comes with lettuce, tomato and onion in a bun and is served with chips.
Unlike the BBQ cauliflower tacos, which are marked as having a vegan option available, the black bean burger itself is marked “VE” for vegan.
Desserts at 47°
Four desserts complete the lunch menu:
- Bread and butter pudding (V) – vanilla custard
- Kiwi mousseline (GF) – whipped mascarpone
- Almond torte (V) – mint glaze
- Sugar free fruit charlotte – whipped cream
The selection covers several different styles, from traditional bread and butter pudding to the lighter fruit-based charlotte.
Bread and Butter Pudding
Bread and butter pudding is another traditional British dish on the menu.
It is served with vanilla custard and is marked vegetarian.
Together with the lamb pie and fish and chips, it reinforces the British influence found throughout this particular 47° lunch menu.
Kiwi Mousseline
The kiwi mousseline is served with whipped mascarpone and is marked gluten-free.
It provides a fruit-based alternative to the richer bread and butter pudding and almond torte.
Almond Torte and Sugar Free Fruit Charlotte
The almond torte is served with mint glaze and marked vegetarian.
The final option is a sugar free fruit charlotte served with whipped cream.
It is worth noting that “sugar free” does not necessarily mean a dish is suitable for every dietary requirement. Guests with allergies or other dietary needs should speak directly with the restaurant staff.
Dietary Symbols on the Marella Lunch Menu
The photographed menu uses the following abbreviations:
- V – Vegetarian
- GF – Gluten-free
- GO – Gluten-free option available
- VE – Vegan
- VO – Vegan option available
Not every dish carries a dietary designation.
The menu also warns that food and drinks are prepared in environments where allergenic ingredients and gluten are used, meaning traces may be present. Guests with allergies or intolerances are directed to speak with their waiter about available menu options.
47° vs Gallery 47°
These two restaurant names can easily cause confusion when researching Marella Discovery dining.
47° is the ship’s main waiter-service restaurant. It serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Gallery 47° is the Italian restaurant located on the second floor of the main dining room and operates for dinner.
Both restaurants are available aboard Marella Discovery and Marella Discovery 2, and Marella currently lists both among the dining options included as standard.
For passengers specifically searching for a Marella Discovery lunch menu, 47° is the relevant restaurant.
Other Included Dining on Marella Discovery
Passengers are not limited to the main restaurant for meals.
Marella currently lists several included dining venues aboard Marella Discovery, including:
- 47°
- Gallery 47°
- Piccadilly’s
- Islands
- Snack Shack
- The Glass House, although some dishes can carry an additional charge
Marella Discovery 2 has a broadly similar selection, with 47°, Gallery 47°, Piccadilly’s, Islands and Snack Shack among its included options.
Exact restaurant schedules can change by sailing, so passengers should check the onboard schedule for opening times during their cruise.

The cruise line says every ship has at least six places where guests can get included meals and snacks.
There are also specialty dining venues that cost extra, along with optional premium dishes in some included restaurants.
