At Modern
Toilet, you should avoid judging your meal by how it looks — dinner
here is served to you in a toilet. This Taipei seats
diners on porcelain bowls at sink tables, offering menu items such
as Korean kimchi hot pot or beef curry, served in Western-style
toilet bowls, and ice cream swirls delivered to diners in squat
toilets. If you're looking to try the toilet-dining crazy but not
leave the U.S., a Los Angeles suburb has become the
home of the first toilet-themed restaurant in the U.S.
Some
restaurants serve the kind of food that may send you to the
hospital with salmonella. This eatery, however, . No you’re not
crazy, but that won’t stop your nurse/waitress from putting you in
a straightjacket and feeding you from a hospital tray in a room
designed to look like an emergency ward. The food is traditional
Latvian fare and, despite the intriguing theme, the restaurant has
gone through phases of opening and closing down (with waxing and
waning public interest), so call ahead to check if the doctor is
available to see you…
While being
stuck in the middle of an earthquake is not necessarily going to
make most people feel like eating a meal, it’s actually this
eatery’s literal bread-and-butter. With the theme of utter
destruction, this entire restaurant will suddenly start to shake
and rumble with the force of a major earthquake (don’t worry, it’s
simulated). Fair warning, diners are not tipped off in advance
about when the rockin’ and rollin’ is going to start.
Packed with
neon signs, video screens, strobe lights, mirrors, and
scantily-clad “android” servers and performers, this restaurant is
all chaos. Go for the experience, not for the food
It started in
Belgium, but this restaurant theme has proved so popular that it’s
been exported to since its inception. Imagine dining at a regular
restaurant table, except that it’s hoisted up with a crane and you
eat while dangling around 150 feet in the air. The menu varies
depending on the chef and the country you’re dining
in.
War, guns,
and sandwiches: What more could you want when it’s comes to strange
and inappropriately themed fare? This eatery is decorated with a
militaristic motif and plays pre-recorded gun sounds instead of
your regular Top 40 hits over the sound-system. The sandwiches,
with names like the Torpedo and the Viper, come wrapped in
camouflage paper and the chefs wear helmets.
The theme of
Alcatraz ER restaurant in Tokyo — a "prison hospital from hell" —
is definitely a bit eerie and frightening. They certainly don’t shy
away from their theme, either, serving items such as
the "human intestines," which are long sausages in a kidney dish,
or the Nounai Hassha Brain Buster, a vodka cocktail served in a
life-sized mannequin head.
This popular
establishment is attached to the H. R. Giger Museum in Switzerland.
Giger is the Swiss surrealist painter and sculptor who most of the
world knows as the set designer of the
iconic Alien movies.
Although it is truly a visual feast and, technically, you can eat
the bar snacks this is really a bar, not a restaurant.
Servers
dressed like ninjas dropping down from the ceiling are the norm at
Japanese restaurant in New York City. The unique design
of the restaurant consists of a long maze leading to the dining
room, with the goal of even further setting the scene of dining in
a Japanese mountain village.
