Five of the world’s most unusual restaurants

Dinner in the Sky

Well technically it can be dinner, lunch, breakfast or any other meal you like, as long as you have the money and can secure a surface of 500 square meters to install a huge crane. Dinner in the Sky offers people the opportunity to turn something ordinary into a unique and memorable event.

Toilet Restaurant

Let me just start by saying that eating is not the first thing that comes to mind when you walk into this place. But ever since The Toilet Restaurant opened in Taipei, Taiwan it has become one of the major attractions and the owner is now thinking of opening an entire network of restaurants all across Asia.

In the Toilet Restaurant everything makes you think only of…well a toilet. Clients sit on toilet bowl-shaped stools, eat their food out of dishes resembling male urinals, toilet bowls or bathtubs.

Dans Le Noir?

 If you are in Paris and want to try one of the most original dinning experiences the city of love has to offer, than you must try Dans Le Noir? restaurant. It doesn't look very impressive from the outside but it isn't the only place where you can have a meal in total darkness.

As soon as you enter Dans Le Noir? you find yourself in a cocktail lounge where you can enjoy a drink and choose what you are going to eat, before being guided into a dark quiet room by a waiter. Dinning can be pretty tricky in these circumstances and if you're not careful, it can get pretty messy.

 D.S. Music Restaurant

D.S. is a restaurant that doesn't have much to do with music, it is actually a hospital-themed establishment, probably the only one in the world. Just like the Toilet Restaurant, you can find D.S. Music Restaurant in Taipei, a town where the bizarre is very popular it seems.

From the moment you walk into the lobby, a wheelchair lets you know this isn't a conventional restaurant and the crutches hanging on the walls, the hospital beds used as tables and the waitresses dressed as nurses make you feel you are in a genuine hospital.

 Ithaa Restaurant

Set in the natural paradise of the Maldives, Ithaa is the world's first underwater restaurant that allows its visitors to enjoy their meal and observe the beautiful underwater scenery at the same time. The mostly acrylic restaurant stands at 5 meters bellow the sea level offering its customers a 270 degrees panoramic view of the coral reef that surrounds it.

Ithaa can only accommodate 14 people at a time so be sure to book your table in advance if you plan to spend your holiday at the Hilton Maldives complex.
