Acela Dining

We look forward to welcoming you in Acela First Class. Once onboard, you'll enjoy complimentary at-seat meal and beverage service provided by our onboard staff of First Class attendants. This season, customers will enjoy an enhanced dining experience featuring warm breakfast breads, small plates and a choice of desserts, in addition to a curated selection of signature dishes. Take a look at our Acela First Class menus for a sneak peek.

Breakfast is served until 11 am and all items are subject to availability. Menus rotate approximately every three weeks.

Amtrak is proud to continue our partnership with award-winning restaurateur Stephen Starr, bringing onboard his renowned, delectable cuisine made from simple, fresh ingredients. This season, customers can join us throughout the day to enjoy a signature entrée from one of the STARR Group’s iconic restaurants.

Great food is hard to find when you're rushing to catch your train. Cafe Acela is open on all departures and offers fresh, high-quality food offerings to help make your trip aboard more enjoyable.

For breakfast, try a fresh croissant with your coffee, or opt for a heartier breakfast sandwich. For lunch and dinner, choose between a selection of sandwiches and salads — or pair a cheese or charcuterie tray with one of our many wine selections for happy hour. Our fresh options are delivered to Amtrak daily from regional partners and are sure to satisfy a wide range of tastes.

Amtrak offers the option to purchase a selection of food and beverages from the comfort of your seat.

On NextGen Acela trains, Business Class customers can purchase popular fresh food and snack items, wine, beer, spirits and other beverages from the convenience of our Acela Cart Service.
