majortom10 Posted August 18, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I have always looked at Cunard's website for examples of menus in the dining rooms and speciality restaurants for past cruises. We are due to cruise again in October and find it very strange that Cunard have removed the "example of menus" section from their website. Worry that the reason for removal is that Cunard like many other cruise lines are dumbing down their menus and dont want you to compare to avoid disappointment.

Host Hattie Posted August 18, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 18, 2022 There are still sample menus on the website but for some reason they only show a couple of choices. https://www.cunard.com/en-gb/activity-types/dining/britannia-restaurant We have links to actual menus posted by @rakkor in the Welcome sticky. It's always useful to see actual menus, it's so disappointing to go to a restaurant and find out the menu you are given is completely different to the one you've been looking forward to.

gengens Posted August 18, 2022 #3 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Yes, there are a few on their website for the different restaurants at https://www.cunard.com/en-gb/activity-types/dining I wondered if anyone had more recent ones to share though. There don't seem to be any QM2 ones more recent than 2019 on the main links thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I have seen those but in the past there was a link to examples of menus which showed examples of QG, PG, BC and Britannia for breakfast, lunch and dinner for all the ships and also speciality restaurants but when I click on link on website it say "page not found". Very worrying why they have been removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majortom10 Posted August 18, 2022 Author #7 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Looking at dinner sample menus for QG/PG there is no Duck a l'Orange on a la carte menus. Dont know if it is a supply issue and only temporary or a permanent removal perhaps as a cost cutting exercise. We have had this in both QG and PG and is one of our favourite meals to order.

The a la carte menus rotate, so maybe the duck, ducked out of the sample menu shown and flew over to another menu. It's a sample and samples don't show the full extent of whatever is being sampled.

The duckling à l'orange is on the eternal list of six things you need to order at lunchtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My husband isn't so it's my chance to get ducked out! That and lamb. Pink rack of lamb. Yum Yum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised that the QG/PG/BC/BR lunch menus are all identical - are they always the same? We’ll be in QG on our first Cunard voyage soon, and wanted to get our expectations in line. If it’s the same menu perhaps we can dine in one of the other restaurants at lunchtime to get a feel for them?

Well, there is, unless it's disappeared very recently. But you have to ask. Very occasionally it is mentioned on the back of the Daily Programme.

WestonOne Posted August 19, 2022 #25 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Here are examples of the menus left in our room for the V220 Queens Grill. These do not include the A la carte menus, which amongst other things include the dishes you have to order by lunch time, such as Duck a l'Orange or Chateaubriand. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
