5 ways to refresh at the restaurant!

5 ways to refresh at the restaurant!

It's hot and the air conditioning is broken? No worries, we make you dream by offering you five restaurants around the world that have found original ways to make us forget the overwhelming heat.

1. Around a wave

The nearest restaurant is located in Brossard where it is possible to have a meal around an indoor surfing wave. The Le Turf restaurant at the Oasis surf resort offers 150 seats with a wave view. To remain in the theme, the chef has even concocted a menu based on the favorite dishes of the surfers of the biggest surfing destinations of the world. Salads, tacos, burgers, fish and an impressive cocktail list. It does not take much to feel like at the seaside!

2. Underwater
Take a meal five meters below sea level, without getting wet, this is an out of the ordinary experience! This is the Ithaa Undersea restaurant of the Hilton Hotel in the Maldives. Covered by a glass dome, you can observe the underwater life of this lagoon of the Indian Ocean. On the menu, fusion cuisine is served. The specialty of the place: crab tower with ciabatta, truffle mayonnaise, Maldives banana and chili mascarpone with basil cream. The restaurant can accommodate only 14 guests.

3. All around an aquarium

Nothing better to feel in the water than to be fastened around a gigantic aquarium! This is what the Burj Al Arab Hotel in Dubai offers in its Al Mahara restaurant. In the central aquarium swim sharks, rays and exotic fish. The restaurant of course specializes in fish and seafood.

4. On the Water

In the 8th arrondissement, in Paris, the restaurant Dragons Élysées is the first restaurant "sur eau". The restaurant's floor is fully glazed and filled with fish, so guests literally feel like they are walking on the water. The restaurant serves Chinese and Thai cuisine and of course specializes in seafood.

5. The feet in a waterfall
In the Philippi, the Labassin Waterfall Restaurant allows you to soak your feet while enjoying authentic Filipino food. Set in the Villa Escudero Plantations and Resort, the restaurant is set at the foot of a huge artificial waterfall, soaking guests' feet in the water. After the meal, it is even possible to go for a dip in the fall.
