Heidi BucoloAfter nearly three years since our last cruise on Virgin Voyages, we recently sailed on Valiant Lady and made sure to sample all the gastronomic offerings. What’s changed? Is it still as good? We cover it all in our complete Virgin Voyages restaurant guide including all the menus so you too can see everything that’s available to eat onboard these lady ships.
Our Insider’s Guide to All the Virgin Voyages Restaurants with MENUS (2025)
Virgin Voyages has re-imagined cruise ship dining. Specificially, there is no large main dining room; instead, there are several “specialty” restaurants and causal dining spots at which guests can dine. In fact, the ships offers 20+ dining options that are all included in the cruise fare.
That’s right; you won’t have to pay extra to dine at the upscale steakhouse or the Italian restaurant on Virgin Voyages. These smaller, intimate venues deliver special restaurant-quality dishes in lieu of your traditional main dining room selections.
The six restaurants that replace the main dining room on Virgin Voyages each have their own unique theming, decor, and menu:
- Razzle Dazzle
- Pink Agave
- Test Kitchen
- Extra Virgin
- The Wake
- Gunbae
On Virgin Voyages, you won’t find a traditional cruise ship buffet either; instead, there’s a food hall-type concept serving a variety of dishes that are all prepared upon ordering. There’s also pizza, ice cream, and tapas, among other dishes, served around the ship that won’t cost anything.
A complete list of casual dining on Virgin Voyages includes:
- The Galley
- The Pizza Place
- Lick Me Till Ice Cream
- The Social Club
- The Dock House & The Dock
- Sun Club Cafe
- Ship Eats ($)
Virgin Voyages Restaurants
The majority of the Virgin Voyages restaurants are the same across the fleet. However, to lure sailors in, the cruise line is starting to offer unique menu items (and even unique restaurants) that are only available on select ships. For instance, Razzle Dazzle features an Asian-inspired menu on Scarlet Lady and will offer a Spanish-inspired menu on Brilliant Lady.
Reservations are highly recommended for the six main restaurants and can be made pre-cruise in the app. Of note, you are limited to one advanced dinner reservation at each restaurant. If you aren’t able to snag a reservation you can try again once on the ship. We recommend checking daily as times often pop up as other sailors’ plans change.
Razzle Dazzle (Deck 5)
Razzle Dazzle is a uniquely designed venue featuring a bold black and white pattern with pops of red and metallic finishes and offering a menu with several vegan and vegetarian options. The menu at this restaurant has seen the most changes since the initial launch of the cruise line.
While Razzle Dazzle does still serve brunch and dinner, the dinner menu now varies across the fleet. The standard Razzle Dazzle By Night menu is available on Valiant Lady and Resilient Lady. This menu features items like fried green tomatoes, pork belly, nashville hot cauliflower, “the v” fried chicken, braised leek mafaldine, and slow cooked short lamb shank to name a few. There’s also a Sip & Savor option available for $25. This includes a set 3-course menu paired with three beverages.
On Scarlet Lady, the venue is Lucky Lotus by Razzle Dazzle. This menu features everything from vegetable dumplings, duck bao buns, and sticky ribs to stir fried rice noodles, five spice pork chop, and a grilled ribeye. The Sip & Savor option here is $35.
On Brilliant Lady, the venue will transform into Rojo by Razzle Dazzle. The menu will include pintxos, tapas, and platos grandes pulling inspiration from Spain’s renowned culinary regions.
Razzle Dazzle is open for brunch 7/8 AM to 12/1 PM and for dinner from 5:45 PM to 10 PM.

Pink Agave (Deck 5)
Pink Agave is your go-to venue for upscale Mexican offerings with a vibrant and festive vibe. This Virgin Voyages restaurant menu features small plates, medium plates, and large plates meant for sharing.
Some of our favorite dishes are the esquites, seared shrimp, chicken enchiladas, papas con chorizo, chochinita pibil, and capirotada (bread pudding). The Sip & Savor option here is $25.
Pink Agave is open nightly for dinner from 5:45 to 10 PM. There’s also a bar in the restaurant, so you can pop in early for a drink before your reservation.
The Test Kitchen (Deck 6)
The Test Kitchen is a laboratory-like setting that offers a tasting menu and is part cooking lab, part restaurant. This venue is for those with experimental taste buds.
The menu features five expertly prepared culinary creations, along with an alternative vegetarian menu available. Guests can also swap out select dishes based on allergies or preferences. During our sailing Menu C was available, but the cruise line has a Menu A and Menu B as well.
Along with Menu C, there are five different drink pairing options available: full proof cocktails ($40), low proof cocktails ($35), proof free cocktails ($30), wine ($40), and beer ($30).
While we appreciate the creativity and the beautiful presentations, this is our least favorite restaurant.
Test Kitchen is open nightly for dinner from 5:45 to 10 PM.
Test Kitchen Menu C | Menu A | Menu B
Extra Virgin (Deck 6)
Extra Virgin is Virgin Voyages Italian restaurant. This trattoria serves classic Italian dishes and handmade pastas in a casual setting. It’s certainly one of the top Italian restaurants at sea. Virgin Voyages is in the process of updating the Extra Virgin menus fleetwide.
Each ship will now feature a few exclusive dishes, along with other new and enhanced menu items. For instance, Valiant Lady’s new menu, which debuted the week after our sailng, now has a burrata stuffed scarpinocc and salmon crudo, among other new dishes.
Some of our favorites are the fried calamari, mini meatballs, all the pasta dishes, and the popular affogato prepared tableside. The Sip & Savor option is $35 per person at Extra Virgin.
Extra Virgin is open nightly for dinner from 5:45 to 10 PM.
Scarlet Lady Menu | Valiant Lady Menu | Resilient Lady Menu | Brilliant Lady Menu
The Wake (Deck 6)
The Wake is the grandest restaurant on Virgin Voyages offering upscale menu items in a glamorous setting. This 2-story, aft located restaurant serves up steak and seafood dishes along with amazing wake views. While included in the Virgin Voyages cruise fare, this steakhouse rivals any cruise ship specialty restaurant that would easily cost $50 or more per person.
This venue is open nightly for dinner from 5:45 to 10 PM. The Wake also offers a daily brunch from 8 AM to 1 PM.
For brunch, guests can enjoy a variety of benedicts, brioche french toast, and steak & eggs. You can even add on a Bottomless Brunch drink option for $35.
For dinner, guests can enjoy items like clam chowder, a wedge salad, filet mignon, and lamb chops. Further, there are a few items on the “Treat Yourself” menu that will cost an up-charge like raw bar selections ($45-$85) or a tomahawk steak ($75). The Sip & Savor option at The Wake is available for $35.

Gunbae (Deck 15)
While most cruise lines feature a hibachi or teppanyaki specialty restaurant, Virgin Voyages has the first-at-sea Korean-style BBQ. Gunbae is a communal restaurant where you and some new friends can grill up great conversation while cooking meat, seafood, and veggies on a hot plate right in front of you.
Virgin has indicated that this venue will soon be debuting an enhanced menu as well. For now though, some of our favorites include the crispy chicken and short ribs, along with stir-fired vegetables, rice, and more.
This venue is open nightly for dinner from 5:45 to 10 PM. Be sure to bring your A-game for the popular 3-6-9 Korean drinking game!
Virgin Voyages Snacks and Casual Eats
Lick Me Till Ice Cream (Deck 7)
As the name would imply, Lick Me Till Ice Cream is the ice cream shop onboard Virgin Voyages. This venue serves scoops of homemade ice cream throughout the day. There are 6 flavors from which to choose, and you can get them in a cone or a cup. Unlike ice cream shops on some other cruise lines, these are completely free.
Lick Me Till Ice Cream is open daily generally from around 11:30 AM to 10 PM on sea days or from 2 to 10 PM on port days.
The Pizza Place (Deck 7)
The Pizza Place is your go-to spot for a made-to-order personal pie any time of day. You can choose one of the options on the menu, create your own, or indulge in the special pizza of the day. You can dine in the restaurant, outside at the al fresco tables, or take the pizza to-go.
Menu options include The Classic, White Truffle & Egg, Chicken Pesto, Pretty Fly For A White Pie, Pepperoni, and Vegan. There’s also to-go containers of salad if you’d like one to go along with your pie.
This casual venue is perfect for lunch or a late-night snack. The Pizza Place is open from 12 PM to 2 AM on sea days and 2 PM to 2 AM on port days.
The Social Club (Deck 7)
The Social Club is a casual American diner, pairing snacks alongside classic games like shuffleboard and foosball. Here, you can grab some chicken wings, hot dogs, pretzels, popcorn, and sweet treats. The venue even offers spiked milkshakes for an up-charge of around $9. This is a great spot for snacks in between meals.
There’s also a complimentary arcade tucked around the corner and tables to play board games. The Social Club is where activities like trivia and karaoke occur as well.
The Social Club opens in the afternoon somewhere between noon and 5 PM based on the itinerary and remains open until midnight.
The Dock House & The Dock (Deck 7)
The Dock House is a casual indoor venue, alongside the outdoor counterpart, The Dock. Whether you are looking for a cocktail, some tapas, or a place to chill, this is your go-to spot for a relaxed, resort vibe. It’s one of our favorite areas on Virgin ships.
The Dock and Dock House serve up Mediterranean inspired bites from a mezze cart and tapas from the grill. The hanger steak and shrimp skewers were a hit! They are available daily from 12 to 5:30 PM.
The Galley (Deck 15)
The Galley is Virgin Voyages replacement for the cruise ship buffet. This food court has several quick-service stations serving up a variety of made-to-order specialties throughout the day.
While it’s not quite a sit-down restaurant, it’s not quite grab-and-go either. At most stations, sailors will place their orders and then need to wait while the food is prepared. If it’s busy, you may be given a pager.
- Bento Baby– fruit bento by day and sushi bento boxes by night; open 7 AM to 10 PM
- Burger Bar– pancakes and french toast for breakfast and burgers all day long; open from 7 to 11:30 AM and 12 PM to 2 AM
- The Daily Mix– soups, salads, cereal, bagels, and more; open 7 to 11:30 AM and 12 to 10 PM
- Diner & Dash– all day omelets and breakfast, along with daily specials for dinner; open 24 hours a day
- Noodle Around– ramen and miso soup for lunch and breakfast selections in the morning; open 7/8 AM to 3/4 PM
- The Sweet Side– breakfast pasties in the AM and desserts in the PM; open 6 to 11:30 AM and 12 PM to 12 AM
- Hot Off The Press– breakfast and lunch paninis and sandwiches; open 7/8 AM to 3/4 PM
- Let’s Taco Bout It– breakfast burritos and tacos for lunch; open 7/8 to 11:30 AM and 12 to 3/5 PM
- Well Bread– breads, flatbreads, breakfast sandwiches, and more
At dinner time, there are nightly specials in The Galley, which are more akin to what you’d find in a cruise ship buffet. Some of the specials on our sailing were mustard marinated striploin, fried fish, sweet and sour chicken, leg of lamb, and butter chicken.
Sun Club Café (Deck 16)
This tucked-away outdoor eatery is on the sun deck outside of Richard’s Rooftop. The Sun Club Cafe is a counter service station with some adjacent outdoor seating. It serves poke bowls served over greens or rice, along with bao buns and other snacks.
The Sun Club Café is open from 12 to 5 PM on most days of the voyage.
Ship Eats (Room Service)
This Virgin Voyages restaurant guide wouldn’t be complete without Ship Eats! Room service is available 24 hours a day on Virgin Voyages. While technically free, there is a $10 Ship Eats delivery fee.
The breakfast menu features items like scrambled eggs, an egg white frittata, french toast, bakery items, cereals, and more. Sailors can place a breakfast order when they get hungry via the app/in-room tablet or pre-order the evening before.
Additional food items are available outside of breakfast hours, 11 AM to 5 AM. These items include soups, salads, charchuterie, entrees like a New York strip or burger, and snacks and desserts. Again, there will be a $10 delivery fee for all orders, which is waived for RockStar guests.
All Ship Eats items come in reusable containers that are nicely stacked into a bag. This makes it easier to transport than a tray and easy to pack and unpack much like a picnic. You can also track the status of your order in the app.
Ship Eats Menu
Conclusion
Virgin Voyages has truly revolutionized the cruise dining experience by eliminating the traditional main dining room and buffet in favor of diverse, included specialty restaurants. The variety of cuisine is thoughtfully curated, and the cruise line continues to innovate by introducing ship-specific menus, giving repeat cruisers new experiences across the fleet. While the menus have evolved since our last sailing, the food quality remains elevated when compared to contemporary cruise lines. Our dining experience on our most recent sailing was just as good as we remembered it being on our previous trips.
