Celebration of fine dining_Hasselblad
In the little book that all passengers got at the end of the day, there is written under the title: „Memories of an incredible journey“.
Each step in the Presidential Train is like slowly entering a time machine. It is a train and a gourmet experience. And on the top you can enjoy the beauty of the Douro River, of the Douro valley and the great landscape around.
Its oldest carriages were assembled in Parisian workshops 127 years ago to convey the kings and queens of Portugal around their realm in high comfort.
Now the train takes paying passengers through a stunning scenery from Porto to Quinta do Vesuvio, about 200 kilometers.
The Presidential only runs in spring and in autumn and only for a few days.
On the photo above you can see one of the dining carriages. Everything is prepared for the passengers. The Chef of the menu at our trip was Ljubomir Stanisic, -
the most creative chef working in Lisbon (and maybe in Portugal).
