Info & opinions on Chefs Galley please?

[Brit abroad]

Could anyone with experience of Chefs Galley let me know a bit more about it please?

 

Do you need to book?

Is there an additional cover charge or not (read recently of two different accounts)?

What is the actual Galley like and where is it exactly? (cant remember ever spotting it on our last crossing)

What type of food is served there?

Is it worth giving up a night in the Britannia (which we typically love) to try it?

Many thanks in anticipation of any helpful info:)

Yes you need to book. It's one of the four parts of the King's Court (Lotus, Carvery, La Piazza, Chef's Galley).

 

It is only open during the evening.

As Ray mentioned, the Chef's Galley is one of the four areas of the King's Court. It is a small area right by the window where you can get deli sandwiches during the day. At night, it is dressed up with tablecloths, etc.

 

You would definitely need a reservation.

 

In the first year or so of the QM2, there was a charge for the Chef's Galley. At that time, several wines were included in the fee. Now there is no charge and any drinks that you order are charged to your account just like they would be in any dining room on the QM2.

 

A chef cooks your meal, while you watch. There are TVs that make it easier to watch exactly what the chef is doing. Because you are seeing the preparation as well as actually eating, the meal usually takes about three hours.

 

Hopes this helps you make your decision.

 

Have a wonderful voyage.

Are you able to make reservations on line before boarding?
