Starting this November 4, Eurostar reveals a novel culinary experience in first class with Michelin-starred gourmet menus, crafted by world-class chefs. Say goodbye to uninspired classics, and hello to bold cuisine full of flavors. What surprises do these new dishes hold for passengers? Let’s explore these tempting creations that promise to transform your journeys into a true gastronomic adventure.
A reimagined offering for the culinary journey
Gone are the days of bland sandwiches and uninspiring train meals. Eurostar collaborates with three prominent names in gastronomy to offer an exceptional culinary offering to its first-class travelers. On the menu are refined dishes created by renowned pastry chef Jessica Préalpato, British Michelin-starred chef Jeremy Chan, and trendy sommelier Honey Spencer. Each of these chefs brings their own style and vision, embracing the spirit of modern Europe.
Fresh and seasonal ingredients
One of the promises of these new menus is the commitment to using fresh and seasonal ingredients sourced from the countries served by Eurostar. This means that each dish will not only be a delight for the taste buds but also respectful of the environment and local know-how. The chefs work hand in hand with Eurostar teams to create tasty recipes that are both innovative and representative of European terroirs.
A glimpse of the dishes offered
What delights await on board? Imagine enjoying a piccalilli accompanied by a curry cauliflower mousse, or roasted pumpkin with honey enhanced by cashew miso. Fish lovers will be thrilled to taste baked salmon served with coconut rice and black olives. Each dish has been designed to offer bold pairings, tantalizing the senses and expanding the culinary experience even at 300 kilometers an hour.
A harmonious culinary journey across Europe
With these changes, Eurostar is not only redefining its culinary offering; the company is also reorganizing its classes of travel to harmonize the experience across each of the served countries, namely the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany. The new classes, Eurostar Standard, Eurostar Plus, and Eurostar Premier, promise a pleasant journey, whatever your choice. Passengers in the Premier class will thus have the chance to experience a true Michelin-star feast, turning train hours into moments of pure delight.
An invitation to a sensory journey
Every bite becomes a unique and memorable experience, where the beauty of the dishes marries with the speed of the trains. Eurostar does not just reinvent the onboard meal; it invites every passenger on a sensory journey through Europe with a cuisine that tells a story. These new Michelin-starred menus are therefore more than just a dining option; they pave the way for a new way of traveling, where pleasure and discovery are the key themes.
