Amtrak has introduced a new, upscale dining menu for first-class passengers on the Acela line. The menu includes dishes like Charred Bobo Chicken, ricotta ravioli, and crab enchiladas, inspired by Stephen Starr's acclaimed restaurants. Passengers can also enjoy premium wines, spirits, and upgraded tableware. This initiative aims to enhance the travel experience and position Amtrak as a leader in premium train service, reflecting a commitment to redefining hospitality in rail travel.
"These elevated touches will add to the experience on board and improve expectations for what to expect on Amtrak and Acela First Class," Amtrak said in a statement.
The new menu, which is now available on all Acela routes, was developed by James Beard award-winning restaurateur Stephen Starr whose restaurants are located in New York, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Florida, and Nashville.
Each main dish was inspired by one of Starr's famed restaurants, including the Charred Bobo Chicken with acorn squash and aji verde sauce from St. Anselm.
Meals are accompanied by a variety of premium wine and spirits as well as soft drinks, alongside upgraded tableware and a hot towel service.
