Table Orient Express: on track for fine food
All aboard! From May to July, the Table Orient Express will be organizing three
journeys, from Cannes, Paris and Bordeaux. A unique experience, it’s also an excep-
tional opportunity to enjoy a meal prepared by Yannick Alléno, chef of the triple
Michelin-starred Pavillon Ledoyen, in the art déco setting of the company’s classic
Pullman cars. In Paris, every evening from June 1 to July 16, thirty-eight exclusive
guests will be able to return to the Roaring Twenties as they sip their first drink in
the bar coach as the train slips out of the Gare de l’Est at 7:30pm. Then at 8:00pm,
dinner is announced in the restaurant car, where, as night falls, they will discover
a series of dishes as varied and sublime as the passing landscape. At 10:30pm,
the train will return to the Gare de l’Est. Guests can continue to enjoy the view from
their table or return to the bar for a night cap, before returning home safe in the
knowledge that they have experienced a unique moment of pure luxury.
