Trackside Dining
Trackside Dining is our signature race-night dining experience — where exceptional food, premium views, and the thrill of live harness racing come together in one unforgettable evening.Hosted in the Metropolitan Stand at Addington Raceway, Trackside Dining offers floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the track and winning post, so you can enjoy every stride of the action while dining in comfort.
Across the season, we offer various dining experiences:
Our Traditional Three-Course Buffet
On select race nights, guests can enjoy our much-loved three-course buffet, featuring a generous selection of starters, mains, and desserts. It’s a classic race-night favourite — perfect for those who appreciate traditional buffet dining done exceptionally well.
Around the World in 18 Buffets
On 18 themed race nights, Trackside Dining transforms into a global culinary journey with Around the World in 18 Buffets. Each of these evenings features a cuisine-inspired buffet, taking your tastebuds around the globe — from French and Mexican to Irish, Thai, and everything in between. Every night offers a unique menu and atmosphere, adding an exciting twist to your race-night experience.

Each of these evenings brings its own atmosphere, entertainment, and energy, making them standout moments on the racing calendar.
