LOVE BRUNCH?
We do too! It’s the perfect mid-day meal that’s both sweet and savory. Now put this tasty Sunday activity on a relaxing daytime ride around the Cape and you’ve got an activity for everyone in the family: kids, parents, and grandparents. Climb aboard our vintage dining cars with Premium or First-Class seating options. Imagine going back to the golden days of rail travel as you enjoy eating in classic rail style with a window view! The two-and-a-half-hour ride offers plenty of time for food and conversation as you travel through the serene beauty of the Cape’s salt marshes, and along the famous Cape Cod Canal. Our Sunday Brunch menu has several delicious options, including a vegetarian entrée and children’s meals to suit everyone in your party.
Want an even more memorable and unique experience? Check out our Jazz Brunch, featuring a live band!
