A significant part of the Amtrak long-distance service centers around the onboard dining experience. Rightfully so, as there’s nothing better than enjoying a good meal paired with stunning scenery!
When traveling on Amtrak’s premier long-distance trains, sleeping car passengers are provided with complimentary meals in the dining car, including breakfast, lunch and dinner. Amtrak’s website explains which long-distance trains feature the service. Dining cars include chef prepared meals and feature comfortable booths with linen tablecloths and napkins, metal cutlery and real glassware with dinner. The first alcoholic drink is free, and there are a variety of offerings, including wines, beers and spirits.
