Frequently Asked Questions

Will there be food on board?

Many long-distance trains have full-service restaurant cars that offer breakfast, lunch and dinner. Others offer an at-seat meal service. On many trains, buffet and bar cars sell light meals throughout the trip, and vendors with food trolleys often pass through the carriages selling beverages and snacks.

Enquire at the station or check an online timetable to find out whether a train has a buffet or restaurant car. You can also consider taking your own meal! There are often grocers near the train station, or even supermarkets in the station itself where you can buy bread, cheese, cookies, soft drinks, wine and more.
