Train stations are evolving beyond transportation hubs into dynamic dining destinations. This article highlights five exemplary urban train stations where travelers can indulge in memorable meals. Notably, the Lazare restaurant at Gare St.-Lazare in Paris, created by chef Eric Frechon, epitomizes this trend. It features an array of affordable yet delightful food options that pay homage to the station's rich history while embracing modern aesthetics. The experience captures the essence of both casual eating and culinary excellence, making train stations a surprising and enjoyable place for meals.
The belle epoque magnificence of Le Train Bleu at the Gare de Lyon in Paris has made it one of the most famous restaurants in the world since it opened in 1901.
I love the Gare St.-Lazare, because as a boy growing up in Normandy, it was my portal to Paris, Mr. Frechon said when Lazare opened.
Everyone should have the right to some good food, he said, which explains the breakfast prix fixe menu for 12 euros.
With its copper bar and brass-rail-backed banquettes, Lazare evokes a traditional Parisian brasserie, but registers as modern with its exposed ductwork overhead.
