If you haven’t already noticed, we’re kinda geeks / dorks here when it comes to certain things. One of which is rail. Why pollute the environment at 65mph when you can hurtle down the tracks at twice that speed – comfortably in a reclining seat, we might add – and where you can relax on your journey – you know, read the paper, or a good book.

This post is taking a slightly different track when it comes to rail. Certainly we’re talking about railways themselves, but we’re focusing more on food and rail. The two go hand-in-hand: think of The Orient Express, the Maharajas’ Express in India, the Royal Scotsman, the Venice Simplon Orient Express and so many more. Luxury beyond compare. Once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Living history as you glide down the tracks.
If that sounds great, but perhaps is outside your budget, we may have an option for you. If you’re willing to curb your aspirations, you can experience rail and fine Belgian dining. Vtopna, (the Vienna Branch) is a dork’s heaven on earth. Not only offering Belgian food that will light up your tastebuds, you can also be a rail manager. Welcome to Vtopna. As they describe themselves – Meat and beer on rails.
And why pain? Pain, bien sur, is “bread” in French.
