Salt Grill comes to Pacific Dawn

luke_blogHello, this is Luke Mangan. I just wanted to say how excited I am that Pacific Dawn is now home to a second ‘Salt Grill by Luke Mangan’. This connection with P&O Cruises just gets stronger and stronger.

‘Salt Grill’ on Pacific Dawn draws on our great experience onboard Pacific Jewel. Some things are a little different on Pacific Dawn following her multi-million dollar refurbishment. The open kitchen will be an exciting feature and I know passengers are going to really like the restaurant’s decor. We’ve come such a long way since the first ‘Salt Grill by Luke Mangan’ debuted on Pacific Jewel in December last year. And there’s still more to come when Pacific Pearl gets her own Salt Grill later in the year.

Each Salt Grill will have its own variations here and there but there are some things that won’t change because it really goes to the heart of what I am all about. I am just as passionate about creating intimate onboard restaurants that become a highlight of the cruise experience. And I am as committed as ever when it comes to showcasing wonderful Australian meat and seafood and serving them in light, simple recipes that allow the produce to shine through.

It gives me a great sense of satisfaction when I see passengers enjoying Salt Grill signature dishes. Going to sea with Pacific Jewel was fantastic and to be doing it again with Pacific Dawn just adds to the excitement. Whether it is on Pacific Jewel, Pacific Dawn or, later on, Pacific Pearl, I hope a visit to a ‘Salt Grill by Luke Mangan’ will really add something to your cruise experience.

Regards
Luke Mangan

    Would somebody please please send me the recipe for the Tasmanian Salmon and Dill Potatoes???? It was one of my favourites on the Pacific Dawn cruise I was on in April, I have tried to recreate it at home but it is nowhere as good as the one on the Dawn. So please could you help me????
    Thank you so so so so much.

    Mixed comments on Salt Grill. We booked 18 for 8.30pm sitting – we were all sat at different tables? 40th Bday Dinner! mmm service was pretty average, but thank god, the food was AMAZING. Well done chef and kitchen staff, you made up for the service. Don’t think Luke Mangan would have approved of service level.

    Hope you enjoy!

    Hi Luke,
    Just wanted to say a big “thank you” for a wonderful experience recently on the Jewel at your restaurant Salt Grill. I had the pleasure of experiencing your scallop dish as an entree followed by Liquorice Parfait. Wow how special is that. We talked about our next cruise and both said what a fantastic place to go for dinner after a day at sea. Thank You Luke and we hope to be back soon. Regards, Kim & Rohan Lowe

    Have just returned from the Dawn last week – did 11 night cruise and then stayed on for 3 night cruise. We dined at Salt 4 times and do not have one complaint. Luke when will you bring a Salt to Brisbane? We would have dined at Salt more times but it was booked out. Food was exceptional, service was great and decor was beautiful. With regards to Lisa’s comments about having to sit at different tables, when we booked for 12 we where pre warned that this would happen as they don’t do tables larger than 6-8. I bought Luke’s book to give to a friend for their birthday and the recipes are great so have now gone on line to purchase the book for myself. Well done Salt you get the thumbs up from all 12 of us.
