The Moving Kitchen

Railway Restaurant

This is a 54-person restaurant. It sits on a moving track as it goes around the island of Taiwan. It allows the users to experience different local cuisines in a natural dining setting, one that connects with the surrounding scenery as the train moves around the tracks from 30 to 90km/hr speed. This is unique because Taiwan Railway Administration was only known for providing transportation from point A to B this train gives an opportunity for the 135-year-old government body to develop its own service brand for the first time, finding an alternative income source for the difficult future as it competes with the faster Taiwan High-Speed Rail.

iF Gold Statement

This offers a glimpse into the future of travel dining. It is stylish, sustainable and sophisticated, making the experience uniquely joyful. The design places equal value on visitors’ time and the location’s cultural heritage.
