Feast before you ride? Tuck into unexpected fine-dining bistros in Europe’s popular railway stations

Feeling hungry before a long train ride is common, but where can you stop to replenish your energy?

The days when your options for a pre-train journey snack were limited to a burger or a packet of crisps are no longer in the past, thanks to the numerous excellent restaurants now open in Europe's busiest train stations.

From London to Paris and Amsterdam to Stockholm, Euronews Travel is on its way to bring you the finest culinary experiences at railway stations.

In 2021, French architect Hugo Toro reimagined the space, drawing inspiration from a traditional Victorian-style winter garden. The space is characterized by large palm trees and plant-patterned chandeliers, each featuring 275 intricately hand-cut brass leaves. Other notable features include the deliberately exposed brickwork and a 22-metre bar crafted from marble and walnut.

A charcuterie board is an ideal option for lunch.

The train station was established in 1901, when the former French president Emile Loubet inaugurated it.

The walls are adorned with priceless watercolour paintings and the atmosphere is amplified by luxurious elements such as chandeliers, gilt-framed mirrors, frescos, and leather banquettes.

When it comes to the food, expect refined interpretations of French classics – there’s a delectable Provençal-style octopus stew, although one of the most popular dishes is the carvery-style roasted leg of lamb, carved tableside.

Ligari's inspiration came from the famous train theatre mentioned in Jules Verne's "Around the World in 80 Days" and, fittingly, many of the dishes are inspired by cuisines from around the world. We suggest trying the slow-cooked veal with rigatoni, rich tomato sauce, warm spices like cinnamon and allspice, and a touch of red pepper.

The menu is a diverse collection of options, ranging from high-quality burgers to omelettes, showcasing a culinary variety that includes an especially popular item: the smoked raw beef sausage.

A restaurant named after the Tsar, located in Białowieża, Poland.

The railway station where this restaurant is situated is no longer in service, but due to its proximity to the tracks, which is highly desirable for diners, this may be a blessing in disguise.

Constructed in 1903 at the behest of Tsar Alexander III, who had selected Białowieża as the site for his expansive hunting reserves - and wolves can be seen here to this day.

All the original features, such as intricately decorated stucco, wooden floors, and terracotta trim, have been meticulously maintained.

The menu is primarily composed of local specialties, highlighting a particularly delicious deer tenderloin steak served with a savory mixture of mushrooms and fresh horseradish.

This top-notch restaurant, located in the heart of the station, has an intimate feel despite its central location. It accommodates just 23 people in a secluded space.

The minimalist decor, enlightened by pendant lights suspended from the ceiling, guarantees that the attention stays firmly on the food.

It's not cheap – the lunch tasting menu starts at 195 francs (approximately 208 euros) – but then again, this isn't your average train station food option. Highlights, especially for those with a sweet tooth, include the bite-sized meringue with cherry and fennel.

6 forgotten players who fell off the footballing map after moving to Turkey

The Turkish Super Lig is renowned for its history of bringing in well-known names from the top European leagues, with Victor Osimhen, Edin Dzeko and Ciro Immobile illuminating the competition in the 2024-25 season.

But what about the footballers who venture to Turkey and suddenly disappear from the spotlight? The lists of former stars from top clubs such as Tottenham, Liverpool, and Arsenal, who have experienced a decline in their careers after signing with top-flight Turkish Super Lig clubs, are long.

Here are six players who have gone completely under the radar since they signed with Turkish Super League clubs.

Dele Alli

We have nothing but admiration for Dele after his refreshingly honest confessions about his personal challenges.

We'd love to see him achieve his goal of being part of England's 2026 World Cup team, though it appears increasingly unlikely, given his lack of club affiliation with each passing month.

Dele Alli's problems began with his declining form at Tottenham and a lackluster stint at Everton to revitalize his career, but a dismal loan season at Besiktas in 2022-23, marked by vocal disapproval from fans and harsh criticism from the club president, clearly took a toll on him.

It's nearly two years since the 28-year-old last appeared in any professional game.

Jonjo Shelvey

Shelvey has had a decade of experience playing for prominent clubs, including Liverpool, Newcastle United, and Nottingham Forest, but never a Yorkshire club, until joining Eyupspor.

The 32-year-old's professional life had already shown signs of stagnation prior to his trip to Turkey, as he had lost favor at Newcastle United after a significant shakeup of the midfield following the team's ownership change.

The intended outcome failed to materialize.

Shelvey dropped out of the mainstream football spotlight in September 2023 when he transferred on a free contract to Caykur Rizespor in the Super Lig. He actually played consistently for the team during a forgettable season, but then left for Eyupspor at the end of that season.

The newly-promoted team, led by coach Arda Turan, is currently experiencing great success in the Super Lig. They're fourth in the table as of now, but Shelvey had difficulty finding opportunities to play and was recently let go by the club.

Burnley, which is currently fighting for promotion, is reportedly eyeing a talent who may still have a resurgence left in him.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

The Gunners' all-time highest transfer fee received. It's a quite remarkable figure, isn't it?

Oxlade-Chamberlain looked well worth the money in his early days with Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool, rubbing extra salt into the Gunners' wounds by solidifying their usual spot within the top four.

Injuries gradually diminished his impact, but he still managed 30 appearances in the Reds' Premier League-winning campaign in 2019-20.

By the time of his 2023 departure, however, he had largely become a secondary figure. Nineteen years old when he was released, the midfielder still had time ahead of him to restart his career elsewhere.

Unfortunately, Oxlade-Chamberlain has not so far been able to reach the same level at Besiktas.

He began less than a third of their matches last season, as they finished a distant sixth, 46 points behind their Istanbul rivals Galatasaray, and has only one Super Lig start under his belt so far in 2024-25.

Andros Townsend

The entire complexion of English international players from a bygone era sees Townsend transferring his allegiance to Turkey only quite recently.

Like his fellow teammates, it is likely that a declining career was either the reason for or a sign of his transfer to Antalyaspor.

Actually, he handled the setback well and played a key role for an enterprising Luton Town team last season, despite a devastating ACL injury cutting short his stint at Everton.

We can only applaud Townsend for taking on a new challenge in a foreign setting at the age of 33, especially considering he must have received offers from clubs in the First Division at that time, particularly after Antalyaspor's transfer issue led to a temporary halt in his career.

Bruma

Fairly speaking, having moved to Turkey the first time around did not particularly harm Bruma's career.

When he was a youngster, Bruma joined Galatasaray from Sporting in 2013 for a €10 million fee.

.

The Portuguese winger returned to the Super Lig and his arch-rivals Fenerbahce's squad, but unfortunately, his stay at the club dipped slightly. He made only five appearances during his loan stint with Galatasaray in the 2022-23 season and zero appearances after that, when he joined the club permanently.

To be fair, he's performed admirably since then back at Braga, winning the Portuguese League Cup last season and reaching double figures in consecutive seasons.

But unless you're an avid follower of top-level Portuguese football, it's likely you'll have entirely forgotten about this former wonderkid.

Adem Ljajic

The Serbian youngster was famously pictured holding a Manchester United shirt alongside then-manager Sir Alex Ferguson in 2009 after signing a contract with the club. However, his transfer to Old Trafford from Partizan was ultimately blocked due to visa requirements.

The midfielder recovered from that setback to have a respectable career in the 2010s - a reliable player for Serbia's national team who represented them at the 2018 World Cup.

He scored 45 goals and made over 200 appearances in the Serie A for Fiorentina, Roma, Inter, and Torino, during which time, he was often rumored to be on the verge of moving to the Premier League.

It's safe to say that he's largely fallen off the radar since signing with Besiktas in 2018. He was instrumental in their Super Lig triumph during the 2020-21 season, which was heavily affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, but he has since joined Fatih Karagumruk.

Perkez Liacic, who still only 33 years old, has not been selected for Serbia in four years and has been playing for his home team, FK Novi Pazar, in recent seasons.

California Wildfires: Statue of biblical Mary remains standing amid charred ruins

• A family in California suffered a devastating house fire, but a statue of the biblical figure Mary somehow survived unscathed.
• It stood intact, amidst remnants of the charred remains that had once been their abode for 37 years.
• 'It's the most fascinating and inexplicable occurrence that only the Supreme Being can comprehend,' read one of the comments

Among the devastating wildfires that ravaged southern California, a remarkable symbol of hope and faith originated from the charred ruins of a California family's home—a statue of the biblical figure Mary.

In a viral Instagram video, a statue stood virtually intact, amidst the backdrop of smoldering debris.

It all started when the Halpins' home of 37 years was devastated and reduced to a pile of rubble by the devastating Eaton Fire.

Peter Halpin, the family's father, shared a touching personal account during a media interview, describing a truly remarkable moment.

"It was astonishing how everything else had been completely destroyed, but the statue of Mary and another of Saint Joseph had miraculously survived intact," he said.

Their unshakeable conviction brought them back to the site last week, in spite of the government's prohibitions.

Surrounded by her six children and other loved ones, the family sang a hymn to the statue, captured in a heartwarming video that has since gone viral on the social media platform Instagram.

Our intention was not for this to become a viral phenomenon at all," Peter stated. "It was primarily meant for family purposes, but the community's response has been incredible and touched our hearts.

Peter's wife, Jackie, recalled her reaction when she saw the statues still intact.

Her son-in-law had visited the site the day before and took a photo of the Mary statue, inspiring the family to make their pilgrimage.

I collapsed to the ground," Jackie said. "I realized we had to visit there to express our gratitude to God for the wonderful years we spent in that house.

They have long been people of strong faith, and eight years ago, they consecrated their home to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Jackie expresses her sincere appreciation for the happiness and sense of belonging they've created there.

We have entertained guests for years and hold the value of hospitality in high esteem. I simply wished to express a heartfelt prayer, saying, 'If we have the opportunity to do it again, that would be wonderful.'

This home in Malibu is untouched by the LA wildfires.

A comparable situation was highlighted by a widely shared online photo of a solitary, intact Malibu mansion standing amidst the devastation of surrounding homes.

The house was photographed following the devastating Los Angeles wildfires that had been ongoing for days.

Details suggest that the $8 million (approximately KSh 1 billion) mansion, constructed in 2000, is owned by Mr. David Steiner, the CEO of a waste management company.
