Like your typical train car, Le Train Bleu features overhead baggage storage where you can keep your things.

The remarkable restaurant is open every day from 10:30AM until 5PM, excluding Sunday and Thursday. Sunday hours are from 11:30AM to 4PM and Thursday hours are 10:30AM to 7PM.
All the servers at this hidden Bloomingdales restaurant wear classic white jackets, elevating your experience. Pictured above you can see one of the best things to try at Le Train Bleu, their quiche! Offered all throughout the day, this dish will happily fill you up.
