Virgin Voyages debuts new Spanish-inspired restaurant on Brilliant Lady
Virgin Voyages is bringing the vibrant flavors of Spain to the high seas with Rojo by Razzle Dazzle, an innovative Spanish-inspired restaurant debuting aboard Brilliant Lady, the newest member of the brand’s rebellious fleet.
Following the success of Lucky Lotus by Razzle Dazzle – the Chinese-inspired restaurant that
launched in November aboard Scarlet Lady – this bold culinary innovation promises to have Sailors’ taste buds dancing the flamenco.
Acclaimed chefs Justin Severino – a four-times James Beard Foundation award nominee – and Nate Hobart will co-helm Rojo by Razzle Dazzle, bringing their ingredient-driven, sharable dining innovations to sea. Co-chefs at Morcilla, the Spanish-style charcuteria taking Pittsburgh by storm, Severino and Hobart are taking their deep passion for Spanish gastronomy straight to Virgin Voyages’ decks. Some of their favorite recipes are also going along for the ride. Rojo’s new menu will feature Morcilla’s legendary Oxtail Montadito with braised oxtail, caramelized onion, mahón cheese and a crostini.
By day, Razzle’s signature brunch will have a Spanish-American twist served in a casual, laid-back atmosphere. New and exciting dishes include jamon croquettes paired with morning classics like acai bowls, pastries and frittatas. When the sun sets, Rojo transforms into an elevated dining experience pulsing with vibrant Spanish energy. Marked by Razzle Dazzle’s sophisticated-but-warm vibe, the menu features pintxos, tapas, and platos grandes – all pulling inspiration from Spain’s renowned culinary regions.
Ensuring the cocktails live up to the explosive cuisine, Virgin Voyages partnered with Onada Consulting from Barcelona, bringing an authentic Spanish touch. The brand also sought out iconic bars in Spain’s hottest cities including Barcelona, Madrid and San Sebastian. Cocktails capture the authentic Spanish spirit in every sip with authentic ingredients, flavors and flair. As for Rojo’s grapes, the wine menu spans bold reds like Rioja and Ribera del Duero to refreshing Albariños from Rias Baixas. For brunch, Rojo serves up artisanal vermouths, vibrant sangrias, well-paired sherries and sparkling Provocativo cava spritzes.
Rojo by Razzle Dazzle isn’t the only refreshed foodie experience coming to the Virgin Voyages fleet. Extra Virgin is pairing existing Sailor favorites with new pastas, arancini, seafood risotto and roasted monkfish, among others. At Gunbae – the only Korean BBQ at sea – new items include kimbap rolls, bulgogi fire meat and bo ssam (whole roasted pork butt with oysters and caviar).
