Queen Mary 2 - Gastronomy

Restaurants

On board the Queen Mary 2, guests live and dine exquisitely. Main courses based on fish, poultry or various types of meat are always perfect. The portions are sizable and the desserts are wonderful. Vegetarian options complete the menu. A select but not cheap range of wines accompanies the dishes. Water is served with meals. The service is exemplary.

The restaurants associated with the cabin categories

With the decision for the cabin category, it is determined in which of the three main restaurants mentioned below the meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) are taken.

It should be noted that the shipping company attaches importance to observing a certain dress code after 18pm in the evening. Whether “informal” or “formal” regulates the daily program. From this point on, jeans are no longer desired in the service restaurants.

Optional restaurants

Golden Lion Pub - Deck 2

We find it pleasant to have lunch at the Golden Lion Pub. After hearty, delicious fish & chips or a ploughman's lunch accompanied by a draft Old Speckled Hen, we recommend doing several laps around the surrounding boat deck.

If the weather cooperates, the Boardwalk Café opens at lunchtime on the edge of the huge sun deck. It offers simple fare such as hamburgers, hot dogs,

Bars & Lounges

A passenger ship of the shipping company's size and demands requires representative bars and lounges. We present them staggered by deck:

Golden Lion Pub - Deck 2

A pub belongs on an “English” ship. While this pub doesn't exactly match our experience of 'quintessentially English' pubs, we visit it regularly. The Golden Lion is not lacking in popularity. It's no wonder, since its small menu offers hearty English dishes at lunchtime and in the evenings visitors while away their time with live music, darts, broadcasts of sporting events, and quizzes and karaoke events. And the well-kept drinks are not to be scoffed at.

G32 Nightclub - Deck 3

Named after the ship's hull number, the two-story eatery caters to fans of the techno scene. The nightclub is accessible from the Queens Room. The G32 opens at 9:30pm and closes after the last guests have left.

Laurent Perrier Champagne Bar - Deck 3

Named after a champagne maker, the bar is all about champagne.

Chart Room Lounge & Bar - Deck

The elegant lounge next to the champagne bar, subtly decorated with nautical elements, is the perfect place to review the day's events before or after dinner while listening to soft music. During the day, passengers use the space to read or daydream.
