The Pullman.

Housed within two original carriages from the 1927 Orient Express, The Pullman offers one of Ireland’s most cinematic dining settings. Permanently stationed on the grounds of the Glenlo Abbey Hotel, these meticulously restored railcars—one of which featured in the 1974 filming of *Murder on the Orient Express*—overlook the waters of Lough Corrib. The kitchen delivers a precise, ingredient-led tasting menu that balances classic technique with seasonal Irish produce, featuring dishes like wild turbot with caviar. While the atmosphere leans into its historic railway roots, including an intimate Agatha Christie-themed compartment, the experience avoids theme-park tropes in favor of genuine fine dining. It is a rare destination where the caliber of the cooking actually matches the theatricality of the room, all set just a few minutes outside Galway City.
