Dining
Dining on the Rovos Rail is always a grand affair. Many passengers enjoy the formality of fine china and glassware, crisp linen and silver, and dress up with dinner jackets and smart wear, breakfasts however are a less formal occasion. The dining cars are made up of two-seaters and four-seaters and meals are served in one sitting only. A passionate team of chefs use fresh, local ingredients and traditional dishes are a speciality. The bar menu is comprehensive although special items such as French Champagne would need to be requested in advance.
