In addition to its regular à la carte menu, Aji Wa also serves seasonal Chef’s Choice Omakase experiences that change throughout the year.

Gala Evening Menu
During Gala Evenings, Cunard often offers additional themed menus, including vegetarian and vegan selections.
Afternoon Tea
Afternoon Tea remains one of Cunard’s signature experiences, featuring finger sandwiches, fresh scones, pastries, cakes, and traditional British tea service.
Queens Room Afternoon Tea
No Cunard dining experience is more iconic than Afternoon Tea in the Queens Room. Served daily with white-glove service, this long-standing tradition dates back to the 19th century and remains one of the highlights of sailing with Cunard. Guests receive freshly baked scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam, elegant finger sandwiches, handcrafted pastries, and a wide selection of Twinings teas. Guests may also upgrade the experience with Champagne or Prosecco for an additional charge.
Additional Britannia Club Dinner Menu
One of the advantages of Britannia Club is the rotating dinner menu. Every evening guests can expect a new selection of appetizers, soups, entrées, desserts, and premium upgrades, making longer voyages feel fresh throughout the cruise.
Vegetarian Dinner Menu
Cunard also offers an extensive vegetarian menu in the main dining room. Rather than limiting guests to a single entrée, the menu includes multiple appetizers, soups, and vegetarian main courses ranging from vegetable curries to pasta, stuffed mushrooms, vegetable tarts, and international specialties.
Vegan Dinner Menu
Guests following a vegan diet are offered a dedicated menu featuring plant-based appetizers, soups, entrées, and desserts. The menu changes throughout the voyage and includes dishes such as vegetable curries, stir-fries, biryani, tofu dishes, vegetable stews, and dairy-free desserts.
Britannia Club Gala Dinner by Michel Roux
Some Gala Evenings feature exclusive creations developed in collaboration with Michelin-starred chef Michel Roux. These dishes are highlighted separately on the menu under the famous La Gavroche branding, giving Britannia Club guests the opportunity to enjoy recipes inspired by one of Britain’s most celebrated restaurants. Depending on the evening, guests may find signature appetizers, entrées, and desserts alongside the standard rotating dinner menu.
Princess Grill Restaurant Menus
Princess Grill guests enjoy their own private restaurant with dedicated breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner service. Unlike the Britannia restaurants, Princess Grill offers a quieter atmosphere, reserved seating throughout the voyage, and a menu that changes daily while maintaining several Cunard classics.
Throughout these menus you’ll find everything from fresh seafood and premium steaks to international dishes, freshly prepared desserts, and Gala Evening specialties created exclusively for Grill guests. Afternoon Tea is also served in the Princess Grill restaurant for suite guests.
Princess Grill Lunch Menus
The rotating lunch menus feature lighter starters, soups, sandwiches, salads, seafood, meat dishes, vegetarian options, and desserts that change from day to day.
Princess Grill Gala Evening Menus
On Gala nights, Princess Grill guests receive enhanced menus featuring exclusive Michel Roux Signature dishes. These special selections are paired with recommended wines and showcase refined ingredients including truffles, lobster, Chateaubriand, premium seafood, and handcrafted desserts. These Gala menus are unique to Queen Anne and represent one of the premium dining experiences available on board.
