A must-do experience while you're in Melbourne, a meal at the Colonial Tramcar Restaurant is guaranteed to be a highlight of your visit. Offering both sightseeing and high-class dining, the Colonial Tramcar Restaurant is one of Melbourne's star attractions.

During your multi-course lunch or dinner, you'll glide through the city streets and on to South Melbourne, St Kilda, Prahran and Malvern aboard the tram. This restaurant-on-wheels is painted a distinctive glossy burgundy and is especially fitted out in velvet and brass like the luxurious Pullman-style European trains of the past.

You'll be welcomed aboard your 1948 Melbourne tram restaurant by a smiling maitre d' and be served by a friendly, professional team of silver-service waiters. Choose from a four-course lunch aboard Melbourne's tramcar restaurant, an early three-course dinner or a more leisurely five-course dinner later in the evening. Delicious meals featuring fresh local produce are prepared onboard the tram, and a wide choice of alcoholic beverages is available from the fully stocked bar.

We really enjoyed this tour for the early 5:45 dinner. My husband, 12 year old twin boys and adult niece and her friend all agreed we really enjoyed this tour. The food was really good, we had a choice of chicken or beef, and 2 different deserts. My boys have an allergy and were limited to only one choice. The waiter said the chef would change his gloves before preparing their dish. We enjoyed the unlimited wine, cocktails and the Baileys after dinner. Was a great way to end our time in Melbourne, a highlight for sure!
