Wind Star Executive Chef:
Graeme Cockburn is the corporate executive chef for Windstar Cruises and has enjoyed an illustrious career establishing himself as an innovator affiliated with the crème de la crème of cuisine, including formative training with the world famous Glen Eagles Hotel and Royal Scotsman train, London's exclusive Boodles club, and the Pompadour Restaurant Edinburgh. Cockburn answered the allure of travel when recruited by the venerable Cunard line to introduce the Queen Mary II and then went on to establish a name synonymous with success in the cruise industry also working in various culinary capacities for Princess Cruises, and Seabourn. The celebrated chef trained with Michelin-awarded chefs Michel Guerard and Michel Roux.
Veranda
It's breakfast alfresco, full service or buffet-style, anytime till 9:30 a.m. No need to hurry. Again, the choices are many in Veranda. Choose the sumptuous, seemingly endless buffet. Or, order from the lunch menu between noon and 2:30 p.m.
Amphora
Here, the dining room manager seats you, but where is your decision. There are no pre-assigned tables or first or second seatings. When you dine and with whom are entirely up to you. Seating usually begins at 6:30 p.m. and will be printed in the ship's daily program. Each delightful dish is prepared exactly to your liking – an exquisite dinner served course-by-course with a fine selection of vintage wines.
Stella Bistro
Treat your palate to the French-inspired café cuisine of Stella Bistro, Wind Surf’s alternative restaurant. You’ll find delightfully indulgent desserts and a wonderful array of wines specifically paired to the meal. (Wind Surf only)
Candles
Here’s the perfect place for a romantic tête-a-tête under the stars in Candles, Windstar’s signature outdoor restaurant transformed by night into a dreamlike paradise. Delectable cuisine, memorable surroundings, inspired wine pairing.
Deck BBQ Event
One of the highlights of your cruise will be the spectacular onboard barbecue. Your attentive crew will serve an amazing meal of fresh local ingredients accompanied by their own special brand of entertainment for an evening of entertainment under the stars.
