The first tram restaurant in the Netherlands

The restaurant is called "HOFTRAMMM". Its founder Bobby Fan Haron is Hague, and has the idea of ​​opening a tram restaurant while traveling around the world. He experienced the tram restaurants there in Milan, Australia, Melbourne, Australia, and Christchurch New Zealand, and enjoyed food while sightseeing, leaving a deep impression. He wanted to transplant this business model to the Netherlands. When he learned that Hay's bus company HTM was ready to eliminate a batch of trams, he decided to realize this dream.

The exquisite meal on the "court tram"

Due to the use of public transportation resources in tram restaurants, Haron first contacted the Municipal Government and HTM, and finally obtained the relevant permission after hard work. The next step is to raise money. Although this business creativity is very attractive, no bank is willing to provide loans. So Haron launched crowdfunding with the help of the crowdfunding platform. In the end, 177 investors were willing to invest, and the project successfully started. Now the names of these people have been written on the company's website "Celebrity Wall". After 4 and a half years of unremitting efforts, the "Palace Tram" was officially operated on May 11, 2014. The Netherlands finally had the first tram restaurant. In 2015, the 35 -year -old Haron was named the "Professional of the Year" by the Dutch Catering Management Association, rewarding his "unique creativity and perseverance" in the catering field.

"Ticket to delicious tickets"

The "court tram" was converted from a GTL8-1 tram. It was numbered 3035 when operating HTM. At first, Harun wanted to buy an older model to modify it to fully reflect the "classic and elegant" image of the tram restaurant in his mind. Later, he was forced to give up because of maintenance costs. The modified car body is based on black tone, accompanied by golden lines and fonts to express high -end style. The interior decoration is mainly white tone, which is also the color that high -end restaurants like. The front of the car reads "Tickets to delicious", which is concisely highlighting the characteristics of tram restaurants.

There are three districts in the car. Area A and B are dining area, and area C is a kitchen. Customers can see the chef work. There are also bar tables, bathrooms and cloakrooms. There are 8 four -person tables and 6 two tables in the dining area, and up to 44 guests can be received. There are 6 to 7 service personnel on the car, namely drivers, chefs, assistant chefs, leaders and 2 to 3 waiters.

Haron hired the most famous chef in the Netherlands Pierre Wimline as the executive chef. Wende was famous in TV cooking in 1997, and his many years of heat continued. In addition to good cooking skills, he is also good at marketing himself and is a social media star in the Dutch catering industry. Wende tailor -made four -dish Western recipe for the "court tram" restaurant. Each is a superior work that makes people stunning and coveted at the entrance, as well as alcohol that matches it, including Hague special beer. Tourists can also explain food preferences or allergies.

The "court tram" only took a trip from Monday to Friday, which was very sought after. It also accepts charter reservations. The company package this tram restaurant to engage in activities or banquet customers.

History and Cultural Journey

"Palace Tram" started from Forterburg Station. Formorburg is the oldest city in the Netherlands. In 1988, the 2000th anniversary celebration was held in 1988. There are many historical buildings, and the most popular is the former residence of Constantine Hukegos. Huachans was the poet and composer of the Dutch Golden Age in the 17th century.

The "court tram" began to welcome the 15 minutes before driving. After boarding the car, tourists can enjoy coffee and "court tram" special bread. In the next two hours, the tram is not bad, walking between Fortress and Hague, and will pass the landmark attractions such as old railway stations, tree -lined avenues, and court ponds along the way. The Hague Old Railway Station was completed and operated in 1843. It is one of the three earliest railway stations in the Netherlands, and the other two are the railway stations of Amsterdam and Halham. The current Hayere Railway Station was rebuilt in 1891 and is one of the busiest railway stations in the Netherlands.

Since the 17th century, the Avenue of Hague Avenue has been a place where the king and nobles of the European kings like to patronize. It is said that the Bodhi tree here was planted by the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. The court pond is located in the center of the Hague. It is an artificial lake, which is as long as Hague. The Dutch Central Government, Parliament and the famous Moritz gallery next to it.

The "court tram" line is partially re -coexisting with the 1 tram part. When I work in the Netherlands, I often take 1 tram on weekends. All the way to see the iconic landscape of the Dutch, such as the canal, windmills, grassland, leisurely cattle and sheep, people who scratch boats, and people riding bicycles, often have a strong desire to go down and experience these beautiful scenery. It is believed that tourists who take the "court tram" will also feel this way.
