DINING

Breakfast - A Private Affair
An indulgent breakfast is the only way to prepare for the day of adventure ahead. Of course, this is no usual breakfast in bed. Our steward will bring a beautiful spread to your cabin at a time of your choosing, so that you can wake a little slower as Europe passes your window.

Breakfast - or a Decadent Feast
Or perhaps a celebration is in order. Take to one of our hand-restored 1920s restaurant cars for a breakfast of champions. Coffee, smoked salmon, eggs, truffles… perhaps a little caviar too? And if the mood strikes for a morning mimosa or bellini, we certainly won’t judge.

Lunch - Unapologetic Extravagance
Take to your chosen dining car and unwind over three courses of freshly prepared dishes using locally sourced ingredients. Our sommelier will pair each with the perfect bottle… and our stewards can bring coffee to your cabin should you require a brief rest afterwards.

High Tea - To Accompany your Adventure
Fittingly, our afternoon tea service is complete with pastries, coffee and an extensive tea selection.

DINING

Aperitifs - The Golden Hour

Negronis, martinis, spritzes, sours. All manner of spirit and fortified wine. They’re taken in dining cars and private cabins, to intimate nooks and grand suites as the sun settles beyond the horizon. Night is afoot.
