These funny restaurants, Part II: With fingers

Whether it is to stand out from the competition, wooing new customers or simply attract the spotlight on them, restaurant owners are sometimes ready to do everything. And they create different ways to do this day after day with concepts out of the ordinary. In this series, we'll introduce you to some... Part Two: with fingers!

Do you always need a knife or fork? Not when you're at a restaurant that prepares special dishes for you to take with your fingers! Whether starter, main meal or even dessert.

This concept is friendly and fun! And this is perhaps what makes it so popular: this restaurant revives a tradition as old as the earth... or to live according to the customs and traditions of other cultures. Without neglecting modern kitchen, anyway!
