Britannia Restaurant
Decks 2 and 3
A grand, two-tiered restaurant serves as the main dining venue aboard Queen Victoria, delivering the quintessential Cunard experience. With its sweeping staircase and glittering central chandelier, it offers an elegant setting for every meal. Each evening, guests are treated to a leisurely, multi-course dinner curated by Cunard’s expert chefs, with menus that change daily to showcase fresh, seasonal ingredients, classic favourites, and imaginative new creations. Breakfast and lunch are equally indulgent yet relaxed, with the opportunity to enjoy everything from a full English to pan-roasted salmon or a flavourful risotto.
Britannia Club
Deck 2
Guests staying in Britannia Club staterooms enjoy exclusive access to the Britannia Club Restaurant, which offers an elevated dining experience that combines refinement with flexibility. While it shares the same high standards of cuisine, service, and location as the main Britannia Restaurant, it’s a more intimate space that boasts a quieter, more personalised atmosphere. One of the key advantages is the freedom to dine at a time that suits you, without fixed sittings. The menu often features additional dishes not available in the main dining room, giving guests even more choice. It’s the perfect setting to enjoy beautifully prepared meals in a calm, sophisticated environment.
Golden Lion
Deck 2
With its warm, inviting atmosphere and classic British charm, the Golden Lion pub is a firm favourite aboard Queen Victoria. Tuck into traditional favourites such as fish and chips, pie and mash, a hearty Golden Lion Ploughman’s or a juicy Prime Angus Beef Burger. Vegetarian and gluten-free options are also available, making it an excellent choice for a relaxed lunch or a casual bite. Alongside the comforting food, you’ll find a wide selection of draught ales, beers, ciders and cocktails, available at an additional cost.
The Lido Restaurant
Deck 9
In the mood for something a little more informal? The Lido Restaurant offers a relaxed dining experience. Described by Cunard as ‘casual but considered’, this self-service venue provides a wide array of global cuisine throughout the day. Whether you’re craving a comforting classic or keen to try something new, there’s always something to tempt your tastebuds. Hot dishes change daily, while fresh, hand-rolled sushi and crisp salads are a lunchtime staple. From 3 pm, indulge in Afternoon Tea favourites such as delicate finger sandwiches, scones, and cakes. Later in the evening, the Lido Restaurant transforms into a late-night buffet, providing the perfect final treat before you retreat to your stateroom.
Princess Grill
Deck 11
Exclusively for guests staying in Princess Grill suites, the Princess Grill restaurant offers an intimate and refined dining experience. This elegant venue delivers high-end, à la carte cuisine, with menus thoughtfully reimagined to showcase timeless flavour combinations and seasonal ingredients. Attentive service, a serene atmosphere, and beautifully presented dishes make every meal feel special. While breakfast and lunch are more relaxed affairs with casual attire welcome, evenings in the Princess Grill call for a smart dress code, in keeping with Cunard’s signature sense of occasion.
Queens Grill
Deck 11
The Queens Grill restaurant aboard Queen Victoria presents the pinnacle of Cunard dining, offering an experience defined by elegance, exclusivity, and personalised service. Reserved exclusively for Queens Grill suite guests, this refined venue allows you to dine whenever you choose at your own dedicated table, with impeccable white-gloved service throughout. The menu is exceptional, featuring exquisite à la carte options alongside the flexibility to request bespoke dishes tailored to your preferences.
Room Service
Enjoy a leisurely start to your day with breakfast in bed, take a break from the sun with a quiet in-room lunch, or wind down with a midnight snack, just because you can. Cunard’s complimentary room service makes it easy to enjoy delicious dishes in the comfort of your stateroom or suite, whether you’re after something light or a more indulgent treat. Available 24 hours a day, it’s a convenient and relaxed way to dine whenever the mood strikes.

Steakhouse at The Verandah
Deck 2
The perfect setting for a special occasion, or simply a memorable evening at sea, Steakhouse at The Verandah offers a refined dining experience that celebrates the finest cuts of meat and the freshest seafood. Whether you opt for a succulent, perfectly seared steak or a beautifully grilled catch from the sea, each dish is crafted with care and culinary flair.

With its elegant surroundings and exceptional menu, this speciality restaurant promises a truly indulgent evening that will stay with you long after you disembark the ship.
Winter Garden
Deck 9
The Winter Garden is a Mediterranean-inspired lounge that offers a bright, airy escape with a relaxed, conservatory-style setting. Bathed in natural light and surrounded by greenery, it’s the ideal spot to unwind with a morning coffee, a light lunch, or an afternoon refreshment. You might choose to snack on a crisp salad, tuck into a fresh sandwich, or enjoy a sweet treat. With its peaceful ambience and inviting menu, the Winter Garden is a hidden gem for those seeking something light and leisurely.
