Belle Époque railway restaurant with gilded ceilings, frescoes, and classic French cooking; a station meal worth the detour.
Insider Intel
Must Try
Classic French brasserie - steak tartare, sole meunière. The setting matters more than innovation.
Best Time
Lunch when light streams through. Or before/after a train journey for the romance.
Know Before You Go
Built for the 1900 World's Fair and unchanged since. The frescoed ceilings celebrate French regions. Yes, it's in a train station. No, that doesn't diminish the magnificence. Dress presentably.
