TransatPhd Posted June 27, 2011 #1 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Hi, all, It's my first trip on the QM2, and I'm just wondering if booking the Chef's Galley dinner is worth it or not. Has it been entertaining or awkward? Is the food better, worse, or similar to the caliber of food offered in the Britannia? My husband and I are definitely foodies and would be interested in doing so if the "demonstration" is pitched towards a more knowledgeable consumer/cook. Thanks for any impression you can give me.

Shawna We did it a few years back. It's kind of like watching a demo on the food network. They do pair some nice wines with the meal(you may decline them,if you don't like wine)Overall we thought it was worth it. My partner(who's a chef,himself) got pretty chummy with the chef & got a good 2 hour tour of the entire food process area the next day. It's amazing how they get all that food done for up to 2000+ pax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOldBear Posted June 28, 2011 #3 Share Posted June 28, 2011 My wife and I did one Chefs Gallery dinner last fall - and we are definitely planning on doing it again for our next trip. There are only a couple of dozen seats - and there is a chef, sous chef [and a couple of other folks in the kitchen] with four servers [and a visit from our Britannia Sommelier] I haven't tried to duplicate the recipie at home - but it's with the rest of our souvenirs from the trip :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reloopag Posted July 1, 2011 #5 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I would definitely recommend the Chef's Galley. My husband and I especially enjoyed French Night -- the steaks were outstanding - along with everything else featured on the menu. Chef Gopee who does the demonstration is excellent - he's from Mauritius! At the time that we were on the QM2, we understood that the "previous" chef had not won a lot of fans; however, Chef Gopee is very personable. All of the various dinners are quite popular, with the exception of Canyon Ranch. The show starts promptly at 7:00 pm! Don't be late!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were there for the Canyon Ranch - and it was hardly a low calorie event [sherry cream sauce :-) ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
