The Colonial Tramcar Restaurant is a restaurant which operates from a converted fleet of three vintage trams in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

The service started in 1983 with one 1927 W Class tram and was later expanded with the introduction of two 1948 SW6 Class Trams. All have distinctive burgundy livery, and can seat 36 passengers each.

The restaurant, which has one lunch and two dinner sittings each day, advises booking well in advance. The trams are boarded from a stop near the Melbourne Exhibition and Convention Centre. They then run on selected standard tram routes through the city and some nearby inner suburbs, returning to their origin.

The ride in the restaurant tram is generally quite steady. Unsurprisingly, the menu provides a limited choice, as does the wine list. However, unlimited alcohol is included in the fixed, prepaid meal price.
