Le Soléal Dining is a signature part of the Ponant experience, blending French elegance with international flavours to create a memorable culinary journey at sea. After a day of exploring remote destinations, guests can relax in beautifully designed restaurants, enjoy panoramic views, and savour meals crafted from the finest ingredients.
Main Restaurant
The ship’s Main Restaurant offers open seating, giving guests the freedom to dine when and with whom they wish. Menus change daily to reflect local influences and seasonal ingredients, combining French-inspired cuisine with international classics. From energising breakfasts to multi-course dinners, every meal is served in a sophisticated yet relaxed setting.
Alternative Dining & Bistro Options
For a more casual experience, the Bistro and Observation Lounge provide light meals, snacks, and beverages throughout the day. These flexible spaces are perfect for grabbing a quick bite before a lecture, enjoying afternoon tea, or sharing stories over a glass of wine while watching glaciers and wildlife drift by.
Al Fresco Dining
Weather permitting, al fresco dining on the open decks allows guests to eat while immersed in the polar landscape. There are few experiences as special as enjoying a freshly prepared meal while surrounded by icebergs, penguin colonies, or the endless Antarctic horizon.
In-Cabin Dining
For those who prefer privacy, in-cabin dining is available throughout the voyage. Whether it’s an early breakfast before a Zodiac excursion or a quiet evening meal in your suite, room service ensures that every guest’s schedule and preference is accommodated.
