Brasserie le Mistral - Restaurant de la Cite du Train

Situated within the museum this is a very handy lunch spot quite large and airy. Food/drink selection is good and prices very reasonable. What we found strange was the rather quaint system for selecting, paying, ordering and collecting food, especially hot dishes. Quite a few visitors seemed bewildered by it.

Not wanting to interrupt our visit, we opted for the restaurant in the Cité. There are a few appetizers as you go in and dishes description on the wall above where you select your meal before heading to the bar to pay. One is then given a ticket to take to the cook when you are ready for your hot food. An interesting concept that must require many more people during the summer season.

Located inside Train Museum Le Mistral is a decent restaurant serving affordable food. It is quite decent place to catch a bite while visiting the museum.

Nice wide choice of food cooked to order with fresh local ingredients. Much better than most other museum food outlets that I have been to. Helpful and friendly service. Reasonable prices so overall good value.

The museum itself is OK but avoid the café as there was only 2 staff to serve a huge amount of people and they did not bring half our stuff and other people were waiting even longer!!!!!!!
