The cafe car takes US currency during the US portions. The cafe will accept only credit cards, prepaid cards, and VIA Rail gift cards for onboard Café purchases in the Canadian section. (I assume debit cards are accepted, but the bold text is from the Amtrak site, and this could change at any time. )
