New Menu at Degrees Aboard Wind Surf

Windstar Cruises has called upon renown chef David Shalleck to reinvigorate the menu at Degrees restaurant aboard the 312-passenger Wind Surf. The food has a decidedly Mediterranean flare. Meal options include an amuse bouche, first courses, pastas and soups, entrees and side dishes, and fabulous desserts.

New Menu Items at Degrees
  • Baccalà Mantecato—a delicate creamy blend of salt cod and potatoes

  • Canapé Pissaladierre—a caramelized onion tartlet with Niçoise black olives

  • Assiette Charcuterie—Spanish pork loin lomo, French saucisson, Italian speck and celery root remoulade

  • Pulpo “a la Plancha”—braised and griddled octopus with potatoes and spicy chorizo sausage

  • Provençal Squash and Leek Soup

  • Griddled Tuna “Misticanza”

  • Pan Roast Duck Breast with Apricots

  • Double-Cut Lamb Chops

  • Honey-Coated Calmyrna Figs and Whipped Mascarpone in a Pistachio Tuile

  • Panna Cotta with Pineapples and Dark Rum Syrup
