NCL Moderno Churrascaria Brazilian Steakhouse Food & Review

Norwegian Cruise Line has a Brazilian Steakhouse BBQ restaurant called Moderno Churrascaria on most of its ships. This NCL specialty restaurant does extra cost at $49 per person + 20% gratuity, but it is all you can eat, so be sure to arrive hungry. In this video we'll show you what the food from Moderno look and taste like, including the fancy salad bar buffet, the grilled meats, and desserts. These were from our June 2022 cruise aboard the Norwegian Star.
We'll also do a little comparison of Moderno today vs years ago. BTW you can find this Brazilian Steakhouse on these NCL ships:
Norwegian Breakaway, Norwegian Dawn, Norwegian Epic, Norwegian Escape, Norwegian Gem, Norwegian Getaway, Norwegian Jade, Norwegian Jewel, Norwegian Pearl, Norwegian Star, Norwegian Sun and Pride of America

    Most of the food looked tasty but I just can’t eat enough anymore to justify $60 (with tip) PP. Especially if it’s not absolutely fantastic. I’d have been full with just the salad and a slice of filet mignon. That caramelized banana tart looked good, but I’m pretty sure it was being served in the MDR too at some point. As always, Joanne’s honesty is very welcome, and I appreciate your videos. 😊

    Yeah I agree it's definitely on the high side- it was $20 a person the last we tried (about 5 years ago), and unfortunately that seems to be the case with all the cruise lines. Specialty steakhouses are all now around $50 and even higher. Thank you so much Sally for your comment as always! 😊

    We went Brazilian for our last dinner on Norwegian cruise. Been eating steak just about every night on the cruise so I wasn't expecting anything exceptional... so just ate a little of whatever they brought. Then one server brought filet mignon which is my favorite... so I took a big slice. The next server brought pineapple so I tried eating pineapple with filet mignon. Ho! The combination was great! Absolutely delicious! So I took another slice of pineapple and called the filet mignon server back and took another big slice. Ho! I was a happy eater that night! Loved their sushi too!

    Our last ncl was about 4 years ago, Escape. We went to Moderno (part of the dining package, but I think we had to go out of pocket for one or both kids). I guess they had had some complaints b/c they kept asking us, 'is the meat rare enough? is it ok? etc.'. So a lot of the meat was closer to rare-medium rare. It was awesome. Many love Cagney's the best but I'll take moderno. The salad bar alone is awesome. I have noticed at these places that they tend to only make one pass with a meat, so best to ask for extra. They seem to always get annoyed if you want them to make a second pass of everything...

Keep up the great work! Joanna, your food descriptions and critiques are so succinct. Do you have a culinary background? I know it’s all you care to eat,, but it seems the meat portions offered are quite small. Is it okay to ask for something larger than mosquito-sized? In a few days we’re heading down to New Orleans to our first Carnival Cruise, aboard Carnival Glory, stopping in Cozumel, Belize and Roatan (haven’t been to Roatan since about 1986). David and Joanna, Shelley and I wish you a very merry and joyous Christmas.
