One of the cruise rituals we have enjoyed beginning with our first cruise in 2005 has been to have a meal off the ship in as many ports as we could. This way we get the chance to sample food from various places around the world. We intend to continue this ritual on our upcoming adventure. I have spent some time perusing such sites as tripadvisor.ca, zomato.com (formerly urbanspoon.com) and the port information on the Silversea website. Some of the shore excursions we have booked include a meal or snack but the venue is not always identified. I have made a list of potential places to dine in some of the ports and that list is presented below. I have provided website links where possible. Some venues are very small and do not have a web presence other than rave revues on either tripadvisor.com or zomato.com.

When we were in Hong Kong following our son's wedding in China we had a delicious meal of Peking Duck at a restaurant there. I found this restaurant which is about a 10 minute walk from Ocean Terminal where the ship will be docked overnight. It got excellent reviews so we intend to dine on Peking Duck while we are in port.
