Starting this spring and through summer, customers will enjoy a new rotating selection of signature dishes onboard from iconic STARR restaurants such as Buddakan, PARC and El Vez.

 


I am proud to introduce some of our signature STARR dishes to Acela First Class.

Stephen Starr helped transform Philadelphia into one of the most vibrant restaurant cities in America. His trend-setting success in New York, Pennsylvania, DC and Florida has earned him multiple honors, including “Restaurateur of the Year” from both Bon Appétit and Zagat and “Outstanding Restaurateur” from the James Beard Foundation.

 

BLACK PEPPER BEEF

 

 

Buddakan in Philadelphia is a modern Asian oasis where taste reigns supreme. The Black Pepper Beef is a symphony of flavors, featuring perfectly seared tenderloin cubes that pirouette alongside Chinese crullers and finger chilies. The spicy black pepper sauce envelops the beef, igniting the senses. It’s a dance of heat and flavor, earning a standing ovation from delighted taste buds.

 

 

Like any great brasserie in Paris, Parc in Philadelphia serves a mouth-watering Coq Au Vin. This classic French dish features braised Cornish hen with roasted carrots, pearl onions, mushrooms and bacon, in a rich red wine reduction served over creamy pommes purée.

BLACK BEAN ENCHILADAS

 

 

Unexpected interpretations of classics join traditional cooking at El Vez in Philadelphia. This delightful Mexican dish combines the earthy flavors of black beans, sweet corn and savory Chihuahua cheese, all wrapped in corn tortillas and smothered in a flavorful smoked tomato sauce.
