The unique Tram Experience, which invites people aboard one of Brussels' iconic trams for a gastronomic tour of the capital, will return this September with a new concept.
Ever seen a tram rumble past you in Brussels, but instead of commuters, it is filled with people eating at tables in a romantic setting? It was most likely to have been the Tram Experience which, for more than ten years, has been transporting food and public transport lovers alike while providing them with a good meal.
Back for its 11th edition, this unique way of dining is returning this September with a new programme of the world's leading chefs, coming from all over the world, ready to bring dishes rooted in their national cuisines to the mobile restaurant.

This year, the tram travels to the rhythm of six renowned chefs," visit.brussels announced on Wednesday. "They invite you to discover their gastronomic universes of varied flavours and horizons."
