In a previous post I introduced you to the four complimentary main dining rooms on Celebrity Beyond, which I dubbed ‘The Fab Four’. But the main restaurants are only part of the complimentary dining picture. Celebrity Beyond has several other places where you can eat without paying a restaurant cover charge, from the extensive Oceanview Café buffet to casual poolside food, the Spa Café and lighter bites at Eden Café.
Here’s my guide to the complimentary dining options on Celebrity Beyond, including what you can expect and where to find them.
Oceanview Café
A Celebrity Cruises fleet favourite, Oceanview Café is much more than a traditional cruise buffet. It has a marketplace-style layout with multiple stations serving a wide variety of international dishes.
You’ll find everything from salads and freshly prepared dishes to pizza, grilled food, bakery items and rotating international specialities. There are also made-to-order options, depending on the meal service.
For coffee lovers, Il Secondo Bacio is located within Oceanview Café, offering speciality coffees and freshly squeezed juices.
Bright and inviting with contemporary furnishings, and an al fresco section, the food is as good and varied as you would expect from the brand and includes popular options such as a carvery, global food options and wonderful salad bars. There are more live-action stations, including a bakery, an Asian stir-fry station, a made-to-order pizza station, a sizzling grill area, a sauté station. There is also il Secondo al Bacio for your caffeine fix.

Open: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Location: Deck 14 Aft
The Mast Grill
If fast food is your thing, or you just can’t drag yourself away from the sun, The Mast Grill is the venue of choice. Situated on the open deck, The Mast Grill offers delicious gourmet burgers, fries, hot dogs, salads and sandwiches to suit any palate, for a more relaxed dining experience.
Open: Late-morning until late afternoon
Location: Deck 14 Starboard Midships
The Spa Café & Juice Bar
If you prefer a lighter option, The Spa Café & Juice Bar is next to the Solarium pool and offers a selection of healthier breakfast and lunch choices. Depending on the sailing, you may find fresh fruit, yoghurt, salads, wraps, cereals, energy bars, smoothies and freshly prepared juices.
The menu changes, so the dishes shown here are examples rather than a current menu.
Open: Breakfast & Lunch
Location: Deck 14 Portside Forward
Sample Menu The Spa Café & Juice Bar
Eden Café
Situated within the spectacular three-storey Eden, Eden Café is a lovely spot for breakfast and lunch. The café offers morning beverages and a selection of casual culinary bites, with al fresco seating on either side.
On my sailing, I particularly enjoyed the baked-to-order cinnamon roll and the steak and egg bagel at breakfast. At lunchtime, options included paninis, salads, quinoa bowls and sandwiches.
The food is complimentary, although some speciality beverages may carry an additional charge.
Open: Breakfast & Lunch.
Location: Deck 5 Starboard Aft
Sample Menus Eden Cafe
Grand Plaza Cafe
The Grand Plaza cafe is situated centrally within the Grand Plaza. Offering a range of tasty pastries for breakfast on the go, and a selection of mini sandwiches for an afternoon pick-me-up, The Grand Plaza Café offers sweet and savoury snacks throughout the day, together with delicious hot and cold beverages.
Open: All Day.
Location: Deck 3 Midships
Cafe Al Bacio
The ever-popular Café Al Bacio is a favourite with Celebrity guests . The Café Al Bacio on Celebrity Beyond is situated within The Grand Plaza and affords views of the stunning chandelier. Offering a huge range of delicious complimentary cakes and pastries; freshly brewed beverages (included in your inclusive drinks package, or chargeable otherwise), the Café Al Bacio even has a Gelateria (additional cost).
Open: All Day
Location: Deck 4 Midships
Whilst you are spoilt for choice with exciting complimentary venues, don’t neglect to make reservations for some of the speciality restaurants too - in fact, you may just need to book a second cruise to fit them all in!
The Lowdown
Celebrity Beyond gives you plenty of choice without having to pay extra for every meal. The four main dining restaurants are the heart of the complimentary offering, but the Oceanview Café, Mast Grill, Spa Café, Eden Café and smaller cafés give you plenty of alternatives throughout the day.
The biggest advantage is the variety. You can have a relaxed breakfast, grab something quick by the pool, enjoy a light lunch in the Spa Café or Eden Café, or settle down for a proper dinner in one of the four main restaurants.
And don’t overlook the smaller venues. Grand Plaza Café is an easy-to-miss spot for pastries, mini sandwiches and snacks, while Café al Bacio is the place to head for coffee and sweet treats, although some drinks and items come at an additional cost.
Celebrity also continues to evolve Beyond’s dining offering. New venues including Tacos del Sol and Orange Peel Bar & Grille are scheduled to join the ship’s food and drink line-up in November 2026.
My advice? Don’t automatically assume that complimentary dining means buffet food. Celebrity Beyond makes it possible to eat remarkably well without booking a speciality restaurant every night.
If you want to experience the speciality restaurants, I’d choose one or two rather than feeling that you need to pay for them every evening. The complimentary restaurants provide enough variety to keep most cruisers perfectly happy for the rest of the cruise.
