With white-gloved waiters, linen-dressed tables, a sweeping staircase, and a balcony style mezzanine, the grandeur of the Britannia Restaurant provides an authentic sense of occasion. On Gala Evenings, the atmosphere is heightened further as guests are invited to dress in their finest evening wear.

The five course evening menu changes daily and features a tempting array of British and regional cuisine, from smoked salmon and spring lamb to Indonesian chicken and papaya salad.

The breakfast menu offers a variety of fresh juice, pastries and cereals as well as a full selection of hot favourites cooked to order. Lunch can be as simple or as extravagant as you like, with a four course menu of appetisers, salads and more substantial entrées like pasta classics or fragrant curries.

All meals here are included in your fare. When you book your voyage on a Cunard Fare, you'll be invited to select a dining option. Choose from our standard set times of Early or Late Dining, or enjoy the freedom to dine at your convenience with Open Dining, where you can make a reservation at a time that suits you.

If you choose Open Dining, there are two options once on board:

Visit the Britannia Restaurant in person to request a table, where you can choose to dine with your party or share a table with fellow guests. During peak times if your requested table size is not available, you will be offered a pager, so you can relax with a pre-dinner drink or perhaps take in some entertainment while you wait.

Alternatively, you can check availability via My Voyage, where you can book in advance or join a live virtual queue and keep track of how many people are ahead of you.

For breakfast and lunch, simply refer to your Daily Programme for opening times and visit the restaurant at your convenience.

During the day, the relaxed ambience of the Britannia Restaurant has a dress code to match, while after 6.00pm it’s smart attire, and dress to impress on our much-anticipated Gala evenings.

Gluten free and vegetarian dishes are available. If you have any other dietary requirements, please contact the restaurant in advance. Find out more about dietary requirements on board or browse our FAQs.
