Dining choices onboard QM2

Dining has always been the premier event of any Cunard voyage, a gustatory celebration where superb culinary creations are proudly served by waiters trained in the fine art of Cunard White Star ServiceSM . Clearly, lavish dining is the centerpiece of the QM2 experience, as well - with vastly expanded menus and venues.

There are 10 restaurants in all, a team of chefs that includes culinary advisor Daniel Boulud, one of the world's most famous chefs, and the celebrated Mediterranean and TV culinary luminary Todd English. As with the custom of ocean liners in the past, each QM2 stateroom is matched with a reserved table at a sea-view restaurant, complemented by the largest wine selection afloat. Of course, you can always make reservations at one of the many optional dining alternatives. Or don't dine out - dine in! Room service is available 24 hours a day.

Princess & Queens Grill Restaurant:
If you're staying in one of the Q categories, savor the sublime creations of the Queens Grill, or the Princess Grill for P category guests. Cunard's Grill restaurants have been long acclaimed by food critics as the finest dining experience at sea.

Dining Alternatives:

Todd English
You can make reservations at the Todd English restaurant and enjoy delectable Mediterranean cuisine -- al fresco if you choose. Owner of the internationally famous Olives of Boston among others, Todd English, is one of America's leading chefs. He has been named both "Rising Star Chef" and "Best Chef: Northeast" by the James Beard Foundation, received the Robert Mondavi Award for Culinary Excellence and was named one of the "Top 50 Tastemakers" by Nation's Restaurant News. Chef English has appeared in numerous television shows including his own TV series Cooking in with Todd English. And he's more than a great chef. In 2001, English was named one of People magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People."

Kings Court
You can enjoy a casual breakfast or lunch in Kings Court. At night it is transformed into four intimate dining venues: an Asian restaurant, an Italian trattoria, the Carvery, and the Chef's Galley, where guests experience one of the most unique epicurean adventures anywhere. Here in a festive atmosphere, diners enjoy an interactive experience as the chef reveals his culinary secrets before their very eyes.

Golden Lion Pub
Fine lagers, ales and pub snacks are served in this charming British pub where you can enjoy a pint and watch televised sporting events.

Boardwalk Café
Enjoy lunch at this casual eatery near the pool - in your bathing suit if you choose.

Winter Garden
A proper British afternoon tea can be taken in the Winter Garden or Queens Grill Lounge. Naturally it's served freshly brewed (no tea bags here), complete with scones, clotted cream, fresh pastries, finger sandwiches and white glove service.
