Princess Cruises’ newest culinary gem — Love by Britto — has officially opened aboard Sun Princess. The venue is a collaboration between artist Romero Britto and culinary master Rudi Sodamin.
Love by Britto presents a sensational dining experience where the artistry of Britto blends with the culinary genius of Sodamin to create a feast for both the eyes and palate with a seven-course prix fixe menu.
“The art of Romero Britto makes people happy with his unique expression of the universal language of love and his creative inspiration blends with my culinary passion to deliver a high-end, meticulously curated menu that guests full of memories overflowing with love was a transformative experience,” said Rudi Sodamin, head of culinary arts for Princess Cruises. “We’re both proud to see Love by Britto come to life with Sun Princess guests celebrating this exclusive dining event, showcasing the harmony between food, art and love.”
Located on deck 17 aft, guests enter the intimate 68-seat venue featuring a display of the artist’s familiar and joyful designs against the restaurant backdrop designed to immerse couples in a world of vivid colors and bold patterns.
The seven-course dining experience begins with aphrodisiacs like Oysters with Lemongrass Kafir, Mirin and Gold Flakes.
