Virgin Voyages Restaurant Menus: What to Order (2026)

Virgin Voyages includes all of its sit-down restaurants in your cruise fare — there's no cover charge at any of the six main eateries. The headline venues are The Wake (steak & seafood), Pink Agave (Mexican), Gunbae (Korean BBQ), Razzle Dazzle (plant-forward), Extra Virgin (Italian), and the Test Kitchen (experimental), plus 20+ casual spots. Below is a quick menu tour of each, our travel-advisor picks for what to order, and how reservations actually work — so you walk on knowing exactly where to eat.

We sail Virgin and book it every week, so this is the honest "where to eat and what to order" guide, not a reprinted menu.

How Virgin Voyages dining works

Unlike most cruise lines, Virgin doesn't charge specialty-dining fees. Every one of the six full-service restaurants is included — you can eat at all of them on a single sailing at no extra cost. There's no main dining room and no buffet; instead you choose a different restaurant each night. The catch is capacity: the best time slots book up, so reserve early through the Sailor App or your voyage planner. For how this fits into the overall fare, see our guide to whether Virgin Voyages is all-inclusive.

The six included restaurants at a glance

• The Wake — steakhouse & seafood with 1950s glamour and a view of the ship's wake. Also home to a famous bottomless brunch.
• Pink Agave — contemporary Mexican: tlayudas, sopes, tortas, mezcal, and small/medium/large plates.
• Gunbae — Korean BBQ you grill at the table, banchan, soju, and a group toasting tradition.
• Razzle Dazzle — vibrant plant-forward American with a playful "naughty vs nice" menu and a standout brunch.
• Extra Virgin — Italian: shared antipasti, fresh handmade pasta, and an Affogato gelato cart.
• Test Kitchen — experimental tasting concept where the menu reads like a list of ingredients.

What to order at each restaurant

The Wake: dry-aged steak and the seafood tower are the signatures; the bottomless brunch is the move if it's offered on your sailing.

Pink Agave: order across the small/medium/large plates to share; the Relleno Vegano (poblano stuffed with potato and roasted corn) is a standout, and the mezcal list is worth exploring.

Gunbae: let the table grill together — the experience is the point. Go with the meat-and-banchan flow and join the toast.

Razzle Dazzle: the "nice" (plant-based) side surprises skeptics — the Impossible Burger is a winner — and the brunch malted waffle is a must.

Extra Virgin: the fresh pasta is the headline; finish at the Affogato cart.

Test Kitchen: come curious — it's a surprise tasting, so it's best on a night you want an experience, not a quick meal.

Reservation tips from an advisor

• Book the moment your planner opens. Prime times (7–8 pm) go first.
• Plan one restaurant per night. On a typical sailing you can hit all six.
• Gunbae is communal — great for solos and social travelers; ask if you'd prefer a private table.
• Missed a reservation? Walk-up and bar seating often opens up; check the app.
• Drinks aren't included — alcohol is pay-as-you-go via the Bar Tab. See our Bar Tab guide.
