It could be the ultimate in indulgent sensory overload. Jaw-dropping scenery, educational commentary, extreme comfort and exquisite food and wine … all at the same time!
Boarding the famous Rocky Mountaineer is initially always about those incredible western Canada views that unfold along your journey and the fine dining only enhances the experience even more.
Award-winning chefs Jean Pierre Guerin and Frédéric Couton have created diverse menus with the finest, locally sourced ingredients from the Pacific Northwest.
Rocky Mountaineer is a daytime travel service so there’s no dinners on board (evenings are spent in luxury hotels) but with an add-on meal plan, all your breakfasts and dinners can be included in the price.
As you’d expect, there’s a difference between the GoldLeaf and SilverLeaf services (sample menus below) and this extends to the beverage options as well.
In GoldLeaf, wines are complimentary with meals and cocktails and other drinks are also available throughout the journey at no charge. In SilverLeaf, Canadian wine and beer is complimentary with lunch.
