Every day we answer the same question to ourselves. “What’s for dinner?” Every day we have a pretty good answer. It’s either one of the many places to eat out in New Hampshire, or it’s something tasty we’ve cooked up using the many locally available foods all around us. But, sometimes the same old thing just won’t cut it. And that’s when we start looking for something unique! Luckily, we found it in the form of this dinner train in New Hampshire.
You’ll find the Cafe Lafayette Dinner train in the western region of New Hampshire’s White Mountains.

For over 25 years, this special train has been delighting guests with the best views and tasty meals. Their own explanation might best explain things: “Two Hours, 20 Miles, Courses.”

Winding through the Pemigewasset River Valley, you’ll get it all. From bright greens and blues in the summer to the fall foliage in the early autumn.

All seats are close to the windows, so nobody has to worry about missing out!

Cafe Lafayette is one of only a few dinner trains in operation in the country, and even fewer actually prepare their meals on board the train.

The meal presentation rivals anything you’d find in an upscale restaurant that doesn’t move!

Visitors can choose from “main level dining” or the slightly more expensive “dome level dining.” But, both provide beautiful views and the very same food.

If you love New Hampshire scenery, great food and fun with friends on an historic train this is the excursion for you. But, hurry! It only runs through the summer!
