Food, family, friends and travelling! It’s what Australians want and now they can get it on board Sun Princess superliner. Aussies can finally enjoy a taste of Melbourne-born chef, Curtis Stone’s delicious cuisine and creations close to home with his very first local restaurant SHARE by Curtis Stone arriving down under on Princess Cruises’ superliner Sun Princess. That’s right, you can enjoy Curtis’ finest culinary creations whilst sailing the seven seas!
While Australians are very familiar with Curtis Stone, SHARE by Curtis Stone is the first opportunity to taste his cuisine locally. Curtis opened his first restaurant Maude in Beverly Hills in 2014 and is currently opening his second restaurant Gwen in Hollywood. SHARE offers an exclusive specialty dining experience for guests with a menu of fresh and seasonal signature dishes in a setting designed for conversing, creating memories and of course sharing.
Curtis has created the SHARE menu specifically with Australian taste buds in mind including a charcuterie board, bread and butter pudding with caramel sauce (you have to try this!), a divine truffle oil potato gratin and freshly composed salads including a spin on the classic marriage of tomato and burrata, as well as lightly poached prawns with lemon gel, turnip, citrus salt (this is so fresh and tastey!) and Mac and Cheese with Smoked Gouda (drool!) Curtis’ favourite dish is the roasted king crab leg which is baked with lemongrass and paired with a chicharron powder (crispy pig skin crumble) along with a fermented soybean aioli, while the roast chicken with a bacon slab and onion slaw has become the firm favourite among diners.
In a nod to Australian wine and produce, the wine list features 22 local wines, Curtis uses Murray River salt in his cooking and Australian beef is used in the beef cheek pie.
Curtis said he was absolutely thrilled to be able to share (pun intended) his cuisine with Australians close to home. “I’m really proud of SHARE and hope that it becomes a special part of Australians’ holiday memories and their experience at sea with Princess. Sharing is at the core of my food philosophy so it was only natural that the restaurant be named SHARE. Connecting with friends and family over conversation and cuisine is what a speciality dining experience is all about,” Curtis said.
Internationally-renowned hospitality designer Jeffrey Beers designed the restaurant space to reflect Curtis’ creative vision, a space with a homely atmosphere that stems from his own memorable mealtime experiences. A signature feature of SHARE is a communal table designed for sharing while decorative ornaments from Curtis’ own collection including his first recipe as well as photographs, cooking utensils and travel souvenirs create a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.
Great, fresh and flavoursome food created by one of Australia’s top chefs served in a warm and welcoming restaurant space while you sail to Fiji, Can you possibly get any better?
