Dining

With a selection of restaurants to choose from on board Black Watch, each serving a range of indulgent, expertly-prepared dishes, you’re sure to enjoy memorable dining experiences throughout your cruise. At breakfast, lunch and dinner, you’ll always find delicious treats which will tempt your taste buds. And, as all food is included on your cruise, you can indulge as much or as little as you like.

Start the day with hearty full English, or a lighter breakfast if you prefer; help yourself to a delicious buffet lunch in the Brigadoon, which is also open for late-night snacks if you’re feeling peckish as the evening winds down; and experience formal dining just how it should be in the spacious Glentanar and intimate Orchid Room restaurants.

For an extra special dining experience, visit The Black Watch Room and enjoy made-to-order á la carte dishes including perfectly cooked steak and seafood; or book a table at The Poolside, an al fresco venue offering themed menus based on your cruise destination.

The Glentanar

The Glentanar is the main dining venue on board Black Watch, where up to 332 guests can indulge with tantalising five course á la carte meals while enjoying the spectacular views provided by the restaurant’s large windows.

You can share an intimate dining experience with loved ones on a table for two, or request a table for up to six guests – perfect for making new friends or simply catching up with those you may have cruised with before. No matter where you sit in this stylish and spacious venue, you’ll dine in comfort and ample space while our friendly waiters cater to your every request.

The Orchid Room

The Orchid Room is perfect for guests who wish to enjoy the same, delicious five course a la carte meals on offer in The Glentanar, but in an even more intimate setting.

Located next to The Glentanar on Lounge Deck 6, The Orchid Room is much smaller than Black Watch’s main restaurant and beautifully decorated in an enchanting Oriental style. Large windows along one side of the restaurant provide stunning scenic views to enjoy while tucking into dishes prepared by our expert chefs and served with a smile by our charming waiters.

Brigadoon

Brigadoon is Black Watch’s welcoming self-service restaurant, replacing the former Braemar Garden Café. This venue features contemporary Scottish-themed décor and offers a less formal style of dining compared to The Glentanar and The Orchid Room, with tasty buffets and international cuisine on offer throughout your cruise.

Stop by for a lunchtime treat, or visit in the evening for a delicious dinner or late-night snack – it’s the ideal venue if you prefer to not to dine at a set time. While the style of Brigadoon is a lot more relaxed, you can still expect to find a selection of indulgent dishes, prepared to Fred. Olsen’s renowned high standards.
