Narrative:
During climb out the cabin crew called to let us know that the galley power was not working. Upon reviewing EICAS and the electrical system there were no unusual indications. However one circuit breaker labeled bat bus distraction located on P6-1 panel bottom forward position closest to the first officer's seat and kit bag was open. In order to determine what was controlled by the breaker we contacted maintenance control. They advised the circuit breaker controlled quite a number of items including altitude gear; RAT; gen disconnect; and more. Since the list contained several safeties of flight items we decided to attempt one reset of the circuit breaker. After resetting the breaker all systems returned to normal and we continued to monitor the situation. In addition we contacted dispatch and informed them of our action and the flight continuing to our destination.it was quite possible that the circuit breaker may have accidentally been pulled or bumped by [the] first officer seat belt.
