Cafe Lafayette is one of only 12 moving dinner trains in the United States, and it stands out for its remarkable route along the Pemigewasset River, which lends the most gorgeous views to diners.
With white tablecloths and lace curtains, the interior of the train is absolutely lovely. Most importantly, it has huge windows for admiring all that you'll pass by.
The two hour train ride departs from and returns to North Woodstock, and you'll enjoy some of the best scenery in the Granite State. It's especially stunning in autumn.
You might find yourself distracted from the views by the spectacular food. The meal is a prix fixe five course extravaganza, and you're sure to enjoy every bite.
The Cafe Lafayette reopens for the season on May 12, 2018 for its usual Thursday–Sunday dinner time service. Pricing ranges from $85-99 per adult depending on seating. For more information and reservations, visit the Cafe Lafayette website.
