Brussels Tram Experience
- Copy Link copied
When Brussels Tourism announced the launch of the Tram Experience, the concept was met with some scepticism. Now, almost a year in, the tram is going strong, to great acclaim. The Tram Experience is a specially re-fitted classic tram that circles the outer ring of Brussels. Diners are served a four-course meal, with drinks, while making the circuit of the city. The menu changes every few weeks, and each one is created by a different Belgian celebrity chef (many of them Michelin star holders). Besides the excellent food, one of the highlights of dining on the tram, is watching the double-takes of people who see it pass by. The Tram Experience books up well in advance, so be sure to reserve your seat long before your visit to Brussels.

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.

"For more than 10 years, the Tram Experience has been taking foodies on a gastronomic tour of the capital. 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."
Culinary world tour
The chefs this year include Brussels' very own Giovanni Bruno, chef of the Michelin-starred Ristorante Senzanome, who will be sharing a menu of Italian cuisine fusing traditional and innovative flavours from 1 September to 15 October.
Montreal-based chef Samuel Sirois, who represented Canada at the final of the Culinary Olympics this year, will also surprise passengers with a new menu combining local products from the gastronomic capitals of Canada, Montréal and Quebec, with a touch of Belgian cuisine.
During the festive season in December, Brussels chef Mallory Gabsi – a semi-finalist in season 11 of Top Chef – will be providing a special menu inspired from his new gastronomic restaurant in Paris.
In 2024, will then be kicked off in northern Italy, with Andrea Larossa from Turin, who will incorporate the rustic flavours of mountainous Piedmont cuisine, known for its antipasti, to warm up chilly winter evenings.

The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others
The best film music experience of the year presented by a special guest from “Pirates of the Caribbean” The symphonic world of Hans Zimmer with music from James Bond, The Lion King, The Pirates of the Caribbean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Inception, Interstellar, Top Gun, Dune and more! Berlin / Los Angeles – “The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others” is an unforgettable concert and audiovisual experience for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers, and families. The best music will be performed by the Hollywood Film Orchestra in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections, and selected film clips. Star soloists from the Original Broadway Production will perform excerpts from “The Lion King”, Zimmer’s most beloved box office smash hit. No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar-, Globe- and Emmy-winning composer Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as “James Bond”, “The Lion King”, “Pirates of the Caribbean”, “Gladiator”, “The Dark Knight”, “Man of Steel”, “Inception”, and “Interstellar”. Hans Zimmer wrote the film scores of more than 200 movies, won his second Oscar for "Dune" (2022), following his first Academy Award for "The Lion King" (1994). He named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose work will be featured with excerpts from the films “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in the West”. Zimmer followed Morricone’s example of composing the film music often before – instead of after – filming, and shaped the entire film. He changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator” for example, and the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer. THE HOLLYWOOD FILM ORCHESTRA The Hollywood Film Orchestra has been created for this concert series and works usually with state Orchestras from Europe. It has performed in the leading music venues of the world, from the Koncerthuset in Copenhagen to the Konzerthaus in Vienna, from Großes Festspielhaus Salzburg to Salle Pleyel in Paris, from Laeiszhalle Hamburg to Tonhalle Zürich.

COMMENTS
The Tram Experience has fixed 1 or 2-seater benches. Technical constraints linked to the fixing of the furniture on board do not allow us to offer a modular seating arrangement. The space available for this seating can therefore be relatively small (width of 40cm between the back of the chair and the beginning of the table).
Le Tram Experience n'est pas prévu pour des réservations de nombre impair ; les tables sont conçues pour accueillir 2 ou 4 personnes. De plus, il n'est pas possible de regrouper des tables, elles sont inamovibles. Pour plus d'informations, merci d'envoyer votre demande à [email protected]
