restaurants on this planet. From bizarre locations to weird choice of waiters, unusual
cooking style to acrobatic skills of the staff, this list has it all.

10. ‘S Baggers, Nuremberg, Germany

The layout of this restaurant was probably inspired by some science fiction movie. Guests
have to order here over a computer. The food and drinks are delivered to the table via a
whizzing roller-coaster of rail. Efficiency is very high and even with the whooshing and
whirring motion, not a single drop is spilled! Kids find the place very enjoyable and can’t
wait to return.

9. KinderkookCafe, Amsterdam, Netherlands

At Kinderkook, talented chefs serve mouth-watering delicacies to the guests. What is so
special about that, you ask? In this kitchen, the cooks with the sharp cooking skills are all
kids! Enthusiastic children prepare finger-licking food for themselves and the guests. Adult
volunteers and interns help and assist them.

8. Dinner In The Sky, Brussels, Belgium

Man’s love affair with the being up in the sky dates back thousands of years. From ancient
times, we have wished to fly like birds. Now here is such a place for the fine dining lovers.
Dinner In The Sky is an organisation which arranges hanging dinner facilities in
magnificent places of the world. The concept is present in more than 40 countries, including
Europe, Australia, India, Dubai, Canada, US by partnering with organisations in these
countries. Dinner in the Sky is operational in the capital of Belgium. Meals are prepared by

7. El Diablo, Canary Island, Spain

How about enjoying a gourmet meal cooked on top of a volcano? If this sounds fascinating
to you, then El Diablo is where you need to be! Located in the heart of Timanfaya National
Park, the view from the restaurant is spectacular. The geothermal heat of 450-500 degree
Celsius coming out of the mouth of this dormant volcano barbeques and cooks the food!
This unusual way of cooking attracts tourists on a daily basis. The volcano last erupted in
1824. Experience the sunset on the lava fields of this fire mountain and enjoy your meal!

6. Ithaa Undersea Restaurant, the Maldives

Wine and dine is the name of the game in this man-made underwater tunnel. Watch the
fishes swim over your head as you enjoy a toast 6 metres below sea level. The restaurant is
a part of Conrad Maldives Rangali Island Resort and designed by a Kiwi consultancy. The
2004 earthquake in the Indian Ocean, which caused a massive tsunami, did not damage this
restaurant. The cuisine here is a mix of European and Asian, catering for all tastes.

5. Labassin Waterfall Restaurant, the Philippines

Savour your lunch at the foot of a waterfall in the South-Eastern nation of the Philippines.
The menu includes authentic local dishes and the ambience is lush green. Seat yourself
delightfully at the bamboo dining tables and feel the trickling water of the Labassin
Waterfall caressing your feet. Take pleasure in the smoking hot Filipino cuisine in the
backdrop of a live waterfall. The cold water provides a much needed relief in the humid
atmosphere.

4. Fangweng Restaurant, Yichang, China

Hanging high above the mighty Yangtze river, this restaurant is built in a cave. The unique
element here is the 30 metre long narrow concrete bridge built on one side of the cliff. One
has to cross this bridge to reach the main dining area. Even a portion of the dining hall is
suspended in the air. Grab a bite and say hello to the longest river in Asia!
3. Kayabukiya tavern, Japan
Walk in, seat yourself, place an order and be surprised! Instead of waiters and waitresses,
you will find cute monkeys serving the food! The monkeys are not allowed to work more
than 2 hours a day, due to Japan’s animal rights regulation. Also the work condition ensures
proper treatment to the monkeys. And if the lovely little animals win your heart, you can tip
them with boiled soya beans!

2. Snow Castle Restaurant, Kemi, Finland

Kemi boasts one of the biggest snow forts in the world which is rebuilt every winter. Each
year the architecture differs but the three features that repeat themselves include the Snow
Restaurant. The temperature within this restaurant is always minus 5 degrees Celsius. Fine
dining in a snow restaurant…who can resist it? No doubt the citizens of Kemi are proud of
it!

1. Treepoddining, Soneva Kiri Resort,Thailand

If your pockets run deep enough and you appreciate the value of a gourmet meal, then waste
no time and leave for Soneva Kiri Resort, KohKood Island. The resort boasts a generous
range of dining options. In the treepod restaurant, bamboo pods are lifted by ropes and
wires into tall leafy tropical trees of the KohKood’s ancient rainforest. Guests sitting inside
the tree pods get a magical view of the blue water and sandy shoreline. Amuse yourself by
tasting the expensive wine, as a personal waiter serves you high up using the acrobatics of a
zipline!
