The "Hoftrammm" is one of the most unique trams in The Netherlands (and perhaps even outside...) It is an old GTL tram which entered service for HTM in 1982, and has been converted into a restaurant since 2014. The menu, consisting of four courses, has been composed by famous Dutch chef Pierre Wind. The tram has been equipped with its own kitchen, bar, and even a toilet. Guests receive a unique culinary experience while moving through the streets of The Hague. In this video, you will get an exclusive look behind the scenes of the operations, and of course a cab ride of this special tram.

Many thanks to my colleague Wes Kraaijeveld (‪@WeKra‬) who has made this video possible! His role in brainstorming and filming has been crucial. Furthermore, I would like to thank the Hoftrammm staff for supporting the idea of making a video about their magnificent tram.
