Default Craziest Restaurants

Tree House Restaurant (New Zealand):
This unusual restaurant started life as an ad campaign for Yellow, a New Zealand company similar to the Yellow Pages. The idea was to build a restaurant in a tree using only resources listed in the company’s directories. Tracey Collins of Auckland made it her mission to build the restaurant-in-a-tree using Yellow. The designer was careful to minimize the impact on the tree and the surrounding forest, he said in a release.






Pelican Bar (Jamaica South Coast):
The Pelican Bar is located on a sand bar roughly 3/4 of a mile off of Jamaica’s South Coast. It is one of the most unique places in the world to witness a sunset. The Pelican Bar specializes in Red Stripe beer and local rum. We highly recommend a visit to this unusual property, even though it is not an official restaurant (food must be prearranged and brought out by boat).





Bed Restaurant (Miami):
BED is the most relaxing dining spot in the city. Huge mattresses with mounds of pillows let you relax with a hot date or a small party, after you place your shoes in a cubby and put on BED’s complimentary socks.The trance music and slow-motion videos projected on screens attempt to soothe you, as do creative drinks like the blackberry julep, a new, fresh-fruit take on the mint julep.





Military-Themed ‘Buns and Guns’ Restaurant (Lebanon):
At Buns & Guns in Beirut, Lebanon, everything is military themed – from the decor and names of the menu items to the helicopter sounds that play constantly in the background.





Hospital Themed Restaurant (Latvia):
A unique, weird restaurant has opened in Riga, Latvia named “Hospitalis“.It is a must-see place if you like gore things. The restaurant looks like a medicine cabinet, while you are treated as a patient and taken good care by the long-legged waitresses in nurses uniforms.The food is served in flasks and operating-room’s dishes and isn’t that cheap (7 and more lats per meal), but this is a bizarre experience that is worth breaking the bank. Besides, the place is owned by local doctors, but unfortunately, the president of Latvia, who is also a doctor, declined his appearance at the opening once he realized how weird this place actually is.






Death Themed Restaurant (Ukraine):
A group of Ukranian undertakers have constructed the first death-themed restaurant - built inside a 65ft-long coffin. Inside you’ll find funeral wreaths, black shrouded walls and human-sized coffins. Menu items include dishes with names like “Let’s meet in paradise”.





Modern Toilet Restaurant (Taiwan):
Taiwan has one of a chain of restaurants called Modern Toilet where you sit on a toilet and eat from a toilet shaped bowl. Modern Toilet is a restaurant in Taipei, Taiwan with a modern decor and a full-on toilet theme. All 100 seats in the crowded diner are made from toilet bowls, not chairs. Sink, faucets and gender-coded “WC” signs appear throughout the three-storey facility, one of 12 in an island-wide chain of eateries.






Undersea Restaurant (Maldives):
the Ithaa Undersea Restaurant still interesting to talk about. Known as the first-ever transparent undersea restaurant in the world, the restaurant sitting five meters below the sea level of the Indian Ocean, surrounded by a vibrant coral reef and encased in clear acrylic offering diners 270-degrees of panoramic underwater views.





Sky Restaurant (Belgium):

This strange restaurant combines the delights of dining with a thrill of well, a thrill ride. You’ll travel about 150 feet into the sky before you chow down on a gourmet meal prepared mid-air. Restaurant uses a mobile crane to lift its entire 22-seat open-air dining room over city streets all over Europe.

Of course the one with toilets would be Asian food. I practically have to sit on the toilet eating Chinese anyway.

I like the pelican bar... Reminds me of somewhere I've never been and looks like a fantastic get-away spot.

Underwater one makes me want to go so bad, but I think, I'd need to "go" if I was surrounded by water. Where you think the toilets there flush to?

Screw the Sky Restaurant. I'm not strapping myself into a dangling table of death. NO..... If I want to get my kicks in the air, I'll go to the space needle or eat on a plane.

Every time there was a slight breeze, I'd panic. Possibly pee a little as well.

I agree, what happens if you drop a steak knife?

I went to the "Bed" in Miami when I was a senior in high school. It was in South Beach. I dropped like $130 just on dinner (and a few drinks, of course). It was pretty cool, and it turns into a nightclub at night.

There is a REALLY nice restaurant in southern Italy that is built across the opening of a grotto. You can look out towards the sea, or into the grotto where its just crystal clear water. Pretty badass.

Grotta Palazzese
edit: big picture. My bad.
