Stéphane Franchini, Senior Director of Food and Beverage at MSC Cruises, summed it up well: “With this new three-in-one venue, we are inviting guests to explore one of the world’s most exciting food cultures in a way that is vibrant, welcoming and full of flavor.”
The concept is designed to work for any mood or schedule. Whether you want a sit-down meal, a craft cocktail, or a quick snack, this venue has you covered.
What to Expect Inside the Venue
The Specialty Restaurant
The restaurant offers a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere with indoor seating and a rooftop terrace. Guests choose from a menu with appetizers, main courses, and desserts.
Standout dishes include Singapore-style shrimp, shiitake mushroom fried rice, and wok-fired specialties. The food, design, music, and live cooking all work together to create an immersive Southeast Asian atmosphere.
The Bar and Lounge
The bar focuses on Southeast Asian-inspired drinks. You can sip on scented jasmine mojitos, rose and strawberry daiquiris, or matcha coladas.
Prefer something non-alcoholic? The menu also features bubble teas, smoothies, and fresh fruit juices. For beer lovers, iconic Asian brands like Tsingtao, Chang, and Bintang are served by the bottle.
The Street Food Window
This on-the-go window is perfect for guests who don’t want to slow down. It serves complimentary bites throughout the day, inspired by Asian street food culture.
Look for crispy seafood balls, fluffy bao buns, and other quick options. It’s a fun, casual way to snack between activities without missing a beat.

The Pan-Asian venue is just one part of a much larger dining lineup. MSC World Asia will feature 19 dining venues in total.
