Todd English, favoured celebrity chef to the stars, has a restaurant on board the Queen Mary II. Advance bookings are a must, and well worth it to experience English’s signature Mediterranean style cuisine with a delectable twist. The Queen Mary 2 also has a range of speciality restaurants and casual eateries, from a light meal at the Board Walk Café or traditional hearty pub fare to afternoon tea with cakes and sandwiches in the Queens Room. Speciality restaurants include a per-head cover charge, though the Galley Restaurant charges for wine only.
The Rest

Cunard asks for notification about particular dietary requirements no later than 6 months before departure or at the time of booking, whichever comes first.
The dining and onboard dress code is resort casual during the day, though as a premium cruise line you can expect fellow passengers to be at the smart end of casual. During the evening it is recommended to dress as you would to dine in a fine restaurant.
