La Dolce Vita Orient Express
The Orient Express has been a byword for opulent travel since the 19th century. There are now multiple services around Europe which take passengers on spectacular journies in the height of style.
Now, the iconic train trip has added another taste of luxury with the appointment of three-Michelin-starred Chef Heinz Beck to lead the culinary programme on board of La Dolce Vita Orient Express, launching in Spring 2025.
Chef Beck, with Beck and Maltese Consulting, will craft distinct dining journeys that highlight Italy’s landscapes, culture and flavors through thoughtfully curated menus.
Italy’s Orient Express Will Have A 3 Michelin-Starred Chef
Chef Beck is globally renowned for his culinary mastery and deep affinity with Italy. He is the founder of the restaurant La Pergola in Rome, which earned a Michelin star in 2005 and continues to hold it today.
Beck’s refined interpretation of Italian cuisine balances indulgence with wellness and epitomizes excellence through his innovative transformation of ingredients into exquisite flavors.
Aboard the Orient Express, his meticulously crafted menus will connect travelers to Italy’s beauty, history and culture at every destination featuring a carefully curated selection of traditional Italian dishes, elevated with modern techniques and seasonal ingredients.
“La Dolce Vita Orient Express project represents for me and the Beck and Maltese Consulting team a wonderful opportunity to create a new path to disclose the Italian gastronomy culture,” Beck says.
