If you enter these unusual restaurants you are sure to have the most peculiar meal!
Restaurants are more than food on a plate. The essence of the industry is to convince us exactly of that. On the one hand, we go to restaurants because we are made to believe that the food is better, being prepared by highly skilled people. On the other hand, we go for the social aspect of sharing a meal with others. But what if the restaurant, or the food, or both, is a bit… odd? Well, these restaurants sure live up to that!
