Cisalpino dining car

The Cisalpino dining cars are run by Italian crews and have the kind of menu you would expect at an Italian (not Swiss) restaurant, with Antipasta, first course and second course selections. You could get a full Italian three course meal (with a "complimentary" aperitivo) for 30 Euros, but they also have a selection of smaller dishes, for instance various salads at EUR 8.50 each.

The dining cars on the Cisalpino tilting trains seat 29 people. Theoretically it is possible to reserve a table in advance, but I have never tried this nor found it necessary.

They also have a snack bar at the other end of the same car, and there is somebody with a wagon who comes through the train fairly regularly selling hot and cold drinks and sandwiches.

Update: Even though these trains are no longer run by the Cisalpino company, the dining car service seems to have remained the same. According to the website of the Swiss railway system: "The restaurant serves typical Italian dishes freshly prepared in the on-board kitchen."

The Berner Oberland

The bar/restaurant on the Berner Oberland.
It's a lovely ship with a beautiful wood-panelled interior, though, and I'm sure any meaty meals will be OK for you carnivores :-)

Favorite Dish: Beer and Ice Cream!!! Sorry, but that's all we had, as there was nothing particularly appealing to we vegetarians!
