More than a quarter of a century after its inception, Orient Express does not show its age simply because it is ageless. The perfect place for a celebration dinner, Orient Express routinely makes it to "Best" lists and there's no wonder why. Even if you're not there for dinner, there are few better places to sip a single malt of which they have an astounding collection and listen to the soft tinkle of live piano music. The train seating, every bit as glamorous as the original Orient Express, serves fixed meals of three, four and five courses. If the airconditioning turns too chilly for you, the restaurant will lend you a real pashmina shawl - that’s the level of planning that has gone into the restaurant. Kobe, Caviar, Lobsters, Perigord Truffles, Normandy Butter... the list of premium ingredients is as impressive as you’d expect from a legend of the Food and Beverage business. Some of the finest offerings consist of Camembert Souffle, Pate de Foie Gras, Smoked Salmon, Rack of Lamb and - an absolute must here - the best Chocolate Souffle in town. Do celebrate a special occasion here.
