Better food on Eurostar

A new summer menu for Business Premier passengers has been introduced by Eurostar. The on-board menu, designed by chef Raymond Blanc of Manoir aux Quat'Saisons fame, features dishes inspired by destinations on Eurostar’s network and sets out to champion seasonal, local and responsibly-sourced ingredients.

These include courgettes grown in the French village of Charbuy; beef from Aldens, an Oxfordshire butcher founded in 1792 and run by the same family for eight generations; and goats’ cheese from the Yonne region.

Raymond Blanc, who has been the company’s Business Premier Culinary Director for the past nine years, commented: “Travel is back on the menu, and we want to celebrate with new summer dishes that offer our Business Premier passengers fresh, seasonal flavours, whilst on the move.

“All the recipes are full of flavour, designed to complement each other and bring the best locally-sourced ingredients to the plates of our Eurostar Business Premier travellers”.

Passengers travelling in Eurostar’s Business Premier class receive complimentary food and drinks during the journey and can also enjoy cocktails and canapés at the recently reopened bars in the lounges in Paris and London.

Examples of items on the new summer menu include: Starters of roasted asparagus custard with pea shoots and chilli; bulgur, kalamata olives, tomato and rocket salad with ciabatta and croutons and bulgur with fresh herbs, chickpeas and roasted red pepper, roasted almond paste, red pepper and pumpkin seeds.

Main courses include sustainable cod loin, lemon verbena hollandaise, crushed potato and steamed broccoli; beef tagine, couscous with courgettes, peppers, apricots and sultanas and chicken fillet, roti, pepper coulis with smoked paprika, rosemary and spinach with organic spelt poêlée and lighter options such as quinoa salad, mange tout, tomato confit, roasted red pepper hummus, red and yellow peppers, chickpeas, coriander and parmesan shavings. 

Desserts on offer include goats’ cheese with apricots and rosemary; chocolate cake with lime caramel and ginger; chaource from Champagne-Ardennes, with sour cherry chutney and pistachio and apricot tartlet.
