Edinburgh’s St Andrews Square tram stop is today transforming into an outpost of the nearby Rio Brazilian Steakhouse.
At the platform, the restaurant’s team will be offering ‘spin-to-win’ prizes including free dinners for two, complimentary cocktails, and 50% off for diners who visit on the same day.
Commuters and tram goers will also get to enjoy live performances with samba dancers and Brazilian music.
The restaurant is running a city-wide competition for a chance to win the ultimate prize – the Rio Black Card – which offers one lucky winner free dining at Rio Brazilian Steakhouse for a year.
To enter, participants are encouraged to snap a photo of the Rio-branded tram making its way through the city, share the image on social media using the hashtag #TramToRio and tag both @rioedinburgh and @edinburghtrams to be entered into the prize draw. The winner will be announced on 31st October.
The steak restaurant, located in the city’s iconic Assembly Rooms, opened in the capital earlier this year, serving unlimited cuts of meats and a salad bar of authentic Brazilian food in a traditional Rodizio style.
Co-founder and managing director Rodrigo Grassi Duarter said: “Since opening our doors in February, the city of Edinburgh has given us such a warm and enthusiastic welcome, and we wanted to find a way to give back to this incredible community.
“We’re thrilled to be partnering with Edinburgh Trams for this special pop-up event to bring the vibrant spirit of Brazil to the heart of the city with entertainment and the chance to win amazing prizes.
“This event is our way of saying ‘thank you’ to Edinburgh for embracing us and making Rio Brazilian Steakhouse a part of their dining experience.”
