New Fall & Winter Dishes Exclusive to Acela First Class

Amtrak is proud to extend our partnership with visionary restaurateur Stephen Starr, continuing to bring onboard his renowned, delectable cuisine made from simple, fresh ingredients. Starting this fall and through winter, customers will enjoy a new rotating selection of signature dishes onboard from iconic STARR restaurants The Dandelion, Pizzeria Stella and El Vez.

Cafe Acela

Open to All Acela Passengers

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.
