The Menu

Six Courses, One Narrative

Each course is timed to the landscape — the amuse-bouche as you depart the city, dessert as you crest the mountain pass.

A whisper of what awaits

Amuse-Bouche

A single, perfect bite — caviar on blini with crème fraîche, or a warm truffle arancini — chosen by the chef to reflect the landscape outside your window.

"The dining car is not a restaurant — it is a theatre. The landscape is our backdrop, the rhythm of the rails our tempo. Every dish must honour the journey."
