Queen Anne Dining Review – Is Cunard Food Actually Fancy?

Is Cunard food fancy? This is where the illusion either holds up or collapses completely. From the first embarkation bite to the last regrettable pudding decision, this is a full, no-nonsense tour of Queen Anne’s dining — the good, the bad, the baffling, and the bits that make Hyacinths lean back smugly and say “well, obviously”. I eat my way through (almost) every included and speciality venue onboard, asking the only question that really matters: Is this premium dining… or just premium confidence? No influencer waffle. No polite “mmm” noises. No pretending sandwiches are life-changing because there’s a string quartet nearby. Just real food, real reactions, and brutally honest ratings — from buffets-that-don’t-like-being-called-buffets, to grand dining rooms, old-school pubs, wellness cafés, afternoon tea theatrics, and the restaurants that Cunard would really rather you talked about. Whether you’re sailing Queen Anne soon, Cunard-curious, or just here to watch a grown man judge gravy with authority — you’re in the right place. Here, ladies and gentlemen… WE GO. 🍽️🚢 00:00 Intro 00:34 Artisan Food Hall (The Buffet) 02:20 Britannia Dining Room (Dinner) 05:17 Britannia Dining Room (Breakfast) 06:07 Shared Table Dining Buddies 08:24 Carinthia Lounge 09:42 Golden Lion 10:25 Queens Room Afternoon Tea 11:34 Wellness Cafe 12:19 Pavilion Grill 12:52 Aranya 12:59 Sir Samuels 14:28 Aji Wa 15:06 Tramonto
