WHAT TO EAT

Having a seat in a quiet room, we have ordered breakfast. You can enjoy breakfast from 7:30am to 11:30am.

 

First, a glass of water and a glass of juice are served. You can choose either orange juice or grapefruit juice. 

 

  

Let's start the day with a French breakfast menu.

 

In France, it is indispensable to have croissants, bread with chocolat inside and baguettes for breakfast. The bread comes out with several kinds of jam and butter.

 

Cute cut bread and eggs, and butter. The french way to eat this is to hit the shell of a semi-finished egg with a spoon to break it, and put some butter on the bread and dip it in the egg. 

 

Le Train Bleu is also serving lunch and dinner, and you can drop by simply to have some coffee or drinks. For lunch and dinner, it is always better to make a reservation in advance on website or by phone.
