Sure, we all have seen trains with a bar on board; those are even pretty common on longer stretches. And we all know you can eat dinner is those cross continental trains.
But how about a restaurant on rails where the destination is the same station as you got on? The train drives a route while you eat your dinner and that's it?

Not only the "dining" cars are old and "classic", so is the engine they use:The Panorama Rail Restaurant is a historical train from the legendary Trans Europ Express (TEE) era which has been converted into a restaurant. The luxury TEE trains with First Class seats only were launched in 1957 and connected the Dutch port of Hoek van Holland with Milano and Genua. The famous Rheingold train operated the Rhine-Alp corridor on a daily basis. In 1962, domecars with a panorama cabin were introduced to offer passengers a spectacular view of the beautiful landscape en route. The domecar and other First Class dining cars now operate as the Panorama Rail Restaurant on a fixed schedule from Amsterdam Central Station toward Haarlem, Leiden, Den Haag (The Hague), Rotterdam, Gouda and Breukelen.
