Everything You Need to Know: Butcher’s Block by Dario on Sun Princess
Looking to try the newest specialty dining on the Sun Princess? We’re diving into The Butcher’s Block by Dario, a unique, meat-centric experience created by the world-famous Italian butcher, Dario Cecchini.
In this video, we share our honest thoughts on the atmosphere, the multi-course fixed menu, and whether it’s worth the $60/person cover charge. Is it a carnivore's paradise or too adventurous for the average cruiser? We break it all down—including how we felt about the raw beef courses and how it works with the Princess Premier package.
🥩 What’s Inside:
The Vibe: Industrial chic meets an open kitchen (our toddler loved the action!).
The Menu: A fixed, multi-course "tasting" experience. No picking cuts here—Dario decides!
The Food: From Steak Tartare with Osetra Caviar to Bistecca Fiorentina (T-Bone) and that famous "Chianti Butter" (beef tallow).
The Value: At $60 per person, we discuss if it beats the classic Crown Grill or Sabatini’s.
Princess Premier: How this restaurant fits into the package and why it might change your decision to dine here.
🍷 Menu Highlights We Tried:
Burro del Chianti: Whipped beef tallow with Tuscan salt.
Beef Tartare & Carpaccio: Heads up—this menu is very "adventurous" with raw preparations!
T-Bone Steak: The main event, prepared with traditional Italian flair.
Tiramisu: A classic finish to a very heavy meal.
🚢 Are you planning a Sun Princess Cruise?
If you're an adventurous foodie or a die-hard steak lover, this might be your favorite spot on the ship. But if you prefer a traditional steakhouse experience, you might want to stick with the Crown Grill.
