As with all the Ponant ships, L'Austral Dining brings the best out of its French chefs who have reached the absolute pinnacle of world culinary respect.
Dining aboard L’Austral is an elegant and refined experience, reflecting Ponant’s French heritage while embracing international flavors. With just 264 guests, mealtimes remain intimate and relaxed, whether you’re enjoying a sophisticated dinner or a casual breakfast surrounded by panoramic views of the sea.
The ship offers two main dining venues. The Gastronomic Restaurant on Deck 2 provides a fine-dining atmosphere with French and international cuisine, served with the elegance of white tablecloths and an extensive wine list. This is the perfect setting for a multi-course dinner or a leisurely lunch crafted by talented onboard chefs.
For a more relaxed setting, the Grill Restaurant on Deck 6 serves buffet-style breakfasts and lunches, with lighter fare and themed dishes. In the evenings, it transforms into a casual venue where guests can enjoy al fresco dining when weather permits. The open seating arrangement across both restaurants gives guests the freedom to dine at their own pace and with fellow travelers of their choice.
In addition, room service is available for those who prefer the comfort and privacy of dining in their own stateroom or suite. Whether it’s an early breakfast before an excursion or a quiet evening meal on your balcony, this option provides extra flexibility.
Dining on L’Austral is more than just a meal — it’s an opportunity to savor exceptional cuisine in settings that celebrate both comfort and discovery.
