Candlelight Express
Van Dedemstraat 8
Hoorn Noord Holland Netherlands
This restaurant is located <b>aboard</b> railway carriages pulled by a steam locomotive. While you enjoy your dinner the train moves from Hoorn to Medemblik and back, going through the cities, villages and fields of West-Friesland on the old route. Before you go you get the chance to have a look inside the hall where several locomotives are stored. They are all in working condition and are used every day in the summer season for trips to Medemblik without the restaurant. After a visit to the sign house the train leaves. It stoppes at a station along the way to give people a chance to look inside the locomotive itself. In Medemblik you either get a guided tour trough the city, or visit a church, or visit the bakery museum. All food is served aboard the train. During the trip you can enjoy the view outside and stand on the open balconies. The fixed price including, transport, the menu and a welcoming drink (excl. other drinks) is 70 euro per person. Kids' menu is 43,50 euro. Diner Cheque and Nationale Horecabon are accepted. Follow the signs for 'Transferium', its the guarded parking area at which the station is located.
