Do you feel like you've seen it all before? Here are four unusual restaurants likely to surprise you.
Ithaa Undersea Restaurant
The Maldives, Rangali Island
Enjoy a dinner five metres under the surface, with fishes swimming around you at the undersea restaurant. With a capacity of 12 guests the restaurant is both a culinary and a marine experience, like having a luxurious dinner in a giant aquarium. Have a fancy cocktail and admire the unusual view. Dress formal and make reservations in time, Ithaa is popular and also a part of the Hilton family.
Iris Black Restaurant at Almåsa Conference
Stockholm, Sweden
Have you ever been dining in complete darkness? This dining experience is likely to be something really special – with scents and flavours playing a more important role than ever. The hosts at Iris Black Restaurant are all blind or visually impaired and the idea is to toss the general roles around. For a short while the guests can try to imagine what it feels like being blind. Sounds scary? Try it out.
Birdbath, Neighbourhood Green Bakery
New York, USA
The pastries and breads at Birdbath Green Bakery are of course baked with organic ingredients, but it doesn't end there. The walls are made from wheat, the countertop display is made from 100 % recycled paper and the cups are made from corn. The paint is non-toxic and the lightning is energy-saving. They make their transports within the city on a bicycle-driven rickshaw and you do get 25 % off if arriving on a bike or skateboard yourself. The staff is working in linen, hemp and vintage clothing. Make sure to visit this green sensation if you're in NY any time soon.
Annalakshmi
Perth, Australia
Annalakshmi is a non-profit Indian restaurant where you can eat as you want and pay as you wish. They have restaurants in Australia, India, Singapore and Malaysia and the vegetarian buffet is prepared with Ayurvedic principles to heal body and soul. Students from the Temple of Fine Arts – school of dance and music are often performing and there are also exhibitions of Indian craft. The staff is volunteering and an important fundamental idea is that everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy a nice meal and entertainment, no matter what your financial position looks like.
