Christchurch Tramway Restaurant

"My parents went on the Tramway Restaurant and loved it. Everything was superb. They loved the food, which was just the right size and delicious. The service was of the highest quality, and the company on board was great. The wine pairing is a must and went perfectly with their meals. They recommend it to anyone who wishes to try it out. Book well in advance as well!"

"Valentines dinner was fantastic!! Staff was very friendly and happy to answer any questions. Food was fantastic! worth it for the experience and a nice way to see some of the city. My only issue was how small/cramped the seats and table were, my 6” 1’ partner sitting across from me had his knees against the edge of my seat. but understandable with being on an old tram."

"This is a quirky experience, but in essence its not great food on a not great tour. Lets start with the tram and the itinerary. The restaurant car is lovely, well maintained and obviously lovingly looked after. The itinerary is simply backwards and forwards for a couple of hours around a very small area of Christchurch. This is mainly around the main shopping streets and repeats itself frequently. There is no information given about what you are seeing and we got very bored of passing the same high street shops repeatedly. I would recommend that you consider taking the tramway tour if you are interested in learning more about Christchurch. The restaurant experience does not do this. Now onto the food. Well it tries very hard to be fancy, but on our trip that effort could not overcome the poor execution. Looks great, tastes like shoe leather was the general opinion of the venison for example. High point - the wine pairings were great. Overall this is good for a quirky experience to write home about, but don't go for the food or to see Christchurch."

"Superb meal, wonderful way to celebrate our anniversary. The time went so quickly. A really nice way to see the city and the staff were friendly but not intrusive. It was good that the tram stopped so that you could stretch your legs and go to the loo part way through the evening. Would certainly recommend to anyone."

"Trudelt unforgettable experience indeed, especially to the exquisite ambiance and outstanding service by the lovely, charming and warm staff members, the food is also innovative, and in high quality, but just the portion size is bit on the low end, I believe this is my first time not being really full in a fine dining experience. I think one extra entree or just having some bread with the courses should easily solve this problem."
