Introduction

InterCity trains run between Swiss stations, such as Basel and Zurich or Interlaken.

Dining on board the InterCity train. Elvetino

On-board restaurant

Every InterCity train has a restaurant or bistro (restaurant with a smaller menu).

Both are a delight, with freshly prepared meals and good array of options. It's not pricey and you don't need to make a reservation.

The carriages are clearly marked, but you can ask one of the platform staff where to stand on the platform so that you can get on next to the restaurant.

On-board cafe bar

As well as having a full-scale restaurant on board, InterCity trains also have cafe-bars too, with table seating. It's all a very relaxed affair.
