THE TRAMWAY RESTAURANT RETURNS
New Zealand’s only tramcar restaurant and arguably the city’s most unique dining venue, the Tramway Restaurant is returning to the streets of central Christchurch following an extensive refurbishment.
The 36-seat tramcar, originally built in Melbourne, Australia in the 1920s, has been operating in Christchurch since 2000. The most recent six-month refurbishment has ensured the tramcar reflects the period it was built and ensures it continues to grace the city streets with elegance.
The Tramway Restaurant’s fine-dining style menu package includes a welcome drink and canapé, entrée, main, dessert and tea or coffee with wine pairing also available. The seasonal menus change regularly and cater for a range of dietary requirements. At the same time, the beverage list features wine from Canterbury and elsewhere in New Zealand along with locally brewed craft beer.
The restaurant has partnered with well- known local businesses, including cuisine partners Mona Vale Homestead who source local products to form the menu.
Offering a truly unique dining experience while travelling in comfort throughout the streets of central Christchurch, the Tramway Restaurant is an excellent option for any occasion, from romantic or special dinners to celebrations of anniversaries or birthdays, to group or corporate events (wildly popular at Christmas time).
With two seating areas, there are also options for privately hiring one or both areas to offer more exclusivity for group events. Additional services such as lunches, pre-theatre dining, and high tea services are catered for groups on request. Gift vouchers are also available to purchase, which are great options for locals.
With a unique outlook, quality food and beverages, courteous service, and a cosy atmosphere, the Tramway Restaurant makes for a memorable dining experience. The Tramway Restaurant re-opens on 1 November 2020.
