Dining aboard the Belmond Venice Simplon-Orient-Express
A journey on board La Dolce Vita promises gastronomic excellence. The menus have been meticulously created by Heinz Beck, the only three-Michelin starred chef in Rome. Beck is known globally for his impressive knowledge and passion for Italian cuisine. Every dish, even canapes and breakfast, has been crafted to showcase the unique traditions of the Italian regions the train passes through. He prides himself on using the freshest local ingredients. A meal served in the restaurant of La Dolce Vita is an adventure itself.
