The next time you find yourself in Paris, France, dining at Le Train Bleu is a must!

An immediate feeling of luxury. The ceiling is filled with exquisite paintings, gold gilding and booth seating modeled after the dark blue sleeping cars from its namesake. There are a total of 41 paintings throughout the various rooms of the restaurant.

The menu lists a variety of traditional French dishes including duck foie gras, the leg of lamb and the Tartare beef seasoned to your taste and delivered table side on a silver serving trolley.

Dinner is a bit on the expensive side but, the atmosphere, the food and the wine are well worth the money spent!
