SNCF unveils 'bistro dining' on French train services
Rail travellers in France have to wait until 2026 for the new-look TGV-M trains to hit the tracks, with their two-storey 'cathedral-style' buffet car. But, while the 28-seat dining area in the shiny new high-speed trains isn't on the cards this year, SNCF has this spring relaunched its on-board menu with more of a focus on French 'bistro' classic dishes. Menus change seasonally, though the famous croque monsieur will be a common staple, as will the French classic Quiche Lorraine. The Spring 2025 menu card features Toulouse sausages and pomme purée (mashed potato), Crozets reblochon AOP and jambon d'Auch (baked reblochon cheese with ham); pasta with sun-ripened vegetables and risotto with asparagus and peas. Advertisement Desserts include chocolate fondant, fruit purée, cake or yoghurt. At €15.90 for a main course, dessert and a drink combination, it's not cheap – let's be honest, train food generally isn't – but it is intended to be a step up from more common sandwiches and cans of fizzy beverages. Soft drinks are included in the menu price, while beer or wine costs extra. Burgers, sandwiches and other snacks and drinks are also available in the buffet cars, which are available only on the high-speed TGV services on the InOui trains. They are not available on the budget OuiGo routes, or on local TER trains. SNCF proudly points out that the regional food served on its trains – supplied by Toulouse-based catering giant Newrest – is made with ingredients from 'local, sustainable supply chains'.

What to cook in February: Recipes for saying 'I love you'
The best valentine you can give is an edible one. Feeding someone so they don't have to think about cooking? That's love. Showing off your cooking skills? It might be slightly tactical, but it's undeniably attractive. They don't even have to be the "receiving gifts" type. Who isn't busy, stressed, strapped for grocery money and hungry all the time? It's true — the best way to a person's heart is through their stomach, especially if the food is gifted, freezable or can sit on the counter for a few days so they can enjoy it when they want. This February, we've curated the perfect recipes from our archives to show your affection. Remind your best friend how much you care with every bite of pound cake they sneak from the kitchen. For tired new parents, offer two types of our freezable meatballs and a big batch of mac and cheese — no visit required. If you're feeling a bit extra (as I usually am), impress someone special with our viral Middle Eastern stuffed onions by Amina Al-Saigh, or Jason Skrobar's decadent dark chocolate cookie sandwiches. Hosting a little dinner date instead of dropping off? Put the " engagement chicken" legend to the test with our one-pan spatchcock chicken and rice. Meanwhile, if you're the one seeking acts of service this month, consider posting this wishlist on your socials to see who responds. Alternatively, send your favourite recipe to your partner with a straightforward request: "Please make this for me." Clear communication is essential for healthy relationships, and nothing spells it out better than a list of ingredients and instructions.
