Once NS had four restaurant cars. They were rebuilt from German coaches by the NS workshop in Haarlem. All coaches had names that can be found on the outside: Adagio(015), Andante(016), Allegro(017) and Allegretto(018). They had the same dark blue livery as the night train coaches.

In December 2002 NS-Internationaal ceased operation of almost all night trains. Three of the restaurant coaches have been sold to EETC in 2004 for holiday trains to France, Austria and Italy.
