Restaurant #3 - Aune

Having covered the top and bottom of the food offerings available on MS Maud, we come to the main course. See what I did there? :o) 

Aune is the largest of the three restaurants aboard, and serves the majority of the meals, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Named after the Norwegian ship chandler and polar expedition supplier Tinus Aune, it occupies almost a third of the length of Deck 5, at the stern, and has full-height windows on all three sides offering fabulous views from any seat. 

Breakfast, served from 7.30am, is a European-style buffet with a variety of hot and cold options; lunch starts at noon and is also a buffet; evening meal is slightly more rigid - a three-course meal served in an allotted time slot, at half-hour intervals from 6-8pm. Your "dining slot" is allotted during boarding at the start of the trip. For anyone like us, who prefers to eat earlier rather than later, it is apparently no problem to change to a different time (phew).

That concludes our brief taste of the catering options. I have to say it's made me quite hungry. It all looks and sounds fabulous and I won't be at all surprised if we end up doing a "dish of the day" type post once we're at sea.
