After a short intermission for a deserved renovation, Le Train Bleu, the famous restaurant of Gare de Lyon has just re-opened today. This buffet opened during the world fair of 1900 to welcome the many visitors arriving from the south east of France with the P.L.M railway company (Paris-Lyon-Mediterranée) was in a major need of renovation. Registered as a historical landmark since the 70’s the overwhelming gilted decor has been faithfully refreshed as well as the furniture. The service now levels with the decor and the food too. Of course it’s a little pricy but a tasting menu at Le Train Bleu will be a trip through tradition and history in a genuine setting.
