Cuisine : Fine Food & Drink Aboard Nymphea

The cuisine on board Nymphea is French. A selection of regional cheeses and French wines are featured with lunch and evening meals. The dishes are prepared using fresh ingredients and the evening meal is typically a four-course menu.

In Brittany, the cuisine on Nymphea will be similar to menus from when they cruised in the Loire but may also include regional specialties such as gallettes and/or crêpes de sarrasin (buckwheat), Breton seafood, and various desserts.
