VIEW FINDER

D​​​​​ining aboard Rocky Mountaineer comes with a view few restaurants can match. As the train winds through the Canadian Rockies, meals are served alongside mountain peaks, forests, rivers, and valleys, turning the passing landscape into part of the delicious experience. Menus highlight fresh, locally sourced ingredients and flavors from Western Canada, while onboard Hosts share stories about the region as the journey continues.

Travelers choose GoldLeaf Service or SilverLeaf Service, both of which accommodate dietary preferences and restrictions so every meal feels both considered and indulgent. In the GoldLeaf Service coach, dining becomes a destination of its own with gourmet meals served in a dedicated dining room. Breakfast might include eggs Benedict, lemon-honey pancakes, and smoked salmon avocado toast, while the multi-course lunch menu could feature fresh-baked focaccia, Alberta striploin steak, Albacore tuna Niçoise, or sweet corn and kale gnocchi. Dessert is included, along with premium wine, beer, and cocktails.

Meanwhile, Silverleaf Service brings an elevated dining experience right to your spacious seat. Breakfast selections include berry scones, frittatas, waffles, and baked oats, while lunch might feature Alberta beef short ribs, chicken breast with foraged mushroom ragu, or a fresh caprese salad. With the scenery always in view, travelers can settle into a meal without missing the show outside the window.

The train typically arrives at its destination before dark, so dinner is experienced in town rather than by rail. The evening offers a chance to discover the local food scene firsthand, from neighborhood restaurants to homegrown Canadian specialties. Then it’s off to the hotel for a restful night’s sleep before the next day’s adventure begins.
