A famed fleet of historical trams have become the Colonial Tramcar Restaurant. The glossy, burgundy restaurants on wheels ensure a delightful innovative approach to dining. As they cruise the city streets of Melbourne, diners can enjoy the seasonal menu, quality Australian wines or make a selection from the fully stocked bar. The atmosphere is cozy and the decor as inviting as the colonial period the trams reflect. Since their inception in 1983, the restaurants have become a star attraction and a tourism symbol for Melbourne. The trams have been carefully refurbished to provide all modern conveniences and comforts such as seats covered in plush velvet, beautiful brass fittings to cast a cozy glow and background music to add to the dining experience. The trams are air conditioned and have stabilizers fitted to ensure a smooth ride.
