Cunard has revealed its exclusive partnership with two Michelin-starred chef, Michel Roux, who is set to take the cruise line’s menus to the next level.
Working alongside Cunard’s culinary development chefs, Roux will create an exclusive gala menu for Queen Anne‘s Queens Grill restaurant, plus a new menu for the ship’s onboard pub- the Golden Lion.
Launching onboard Queen Anne in May 2024, this exciting new menu will feature a refined selection of pub favourites, reimagined by chef Michel Roux himself. This will then be rolled out to the existing fleet later on next year.
“It is an absolute privilege to be working with Cunard’s hugely talented and passionate culinary development chefs as we countdown to the launch of their newest ship Queen Anne. For me, there is no better recipe than blending high quality ingredients with elegant execution to create unforgettable experiences for diners, and I am incredibly excited to showcase our elevated, reimagined pub classics to Cunard guests very soon.”
