The Lido Market Restaurant Buffet on the Holland America Nieuw Amsterdam is located on Deck
9 Aft, toward the back of the ship.
The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late-night snacks and serves a
wide variety of foods.
The Distant Lands station features dishes from around the world, such as crepes, sushi,
and pasta.
The Homestead station features traditional buffet items.
The Wild Harvest station features made-to-order omelets in the morning and made-to-order salads
at other times.
The Breadboard station features many varieties of grains and a carving station.
And the Sweet Spot station features a large selection of desserts.
Signs posted in the Distant Lands station indicated gluten-free items are available
upon request.
For breakfast, the buffet offers standard fare, such as cereals, a variety of eggs,
meats, pancakes and waffles, fruits, milk and juice, and other options.
The Wild Harvest area features made-to-order omelets, while the Distant Lands station offers
made-to-order crepes.
The lunch buffet menu varies from day to day and features a wide variety of foods, including
several internationally-inspired dishes in the Distant Lands station, including sushi
and a taco bar.
The carving station in the Breadboard station offers a cut of meat and associated sauces.
The food offered for the dinner buffet typically aligns with the dinner menu from the main
dining room, but it is not always an exact match.
There are often dinner dishes served in the main dining room that are not available in
the Lido Market buffet and buffet food that is not available in the dining room.
You will need to check the menus of both if you want to know all the food that is being
served for dinner on the ship.
The desserts in the Lido Market buffet include cookies, ice cream, cakes, pies, cupcakes,
puddings, and more.
There are usually several options to choose from for lunch and dinner, including some
sugar-free or no sugar added desserts.
Like the dinner buffet, the desserts tend to align with the main dining room menu, but
it’s not always an exact match.
The late-night buffet at the Lido Market -- which started at 10:30 pm
every night on our cruise -- features a lot of fried comfort food options.
Many items are bite-sized or easily fit on a small plate so you can just grab a snack
or try a lot of different options without completely filling up.
On our cruise, the menu for the late night buffet changed each night and was posted outside
of the Lido buffet area, near the mid-ship elevators.
Menus for lunch and dinner were also posted outside the buffet area and were available
on our stateroom TV.
