The most unlikely places to eat

The most unlikely places to eat

What makes our visit to restaurant memorable is of course what is on the plate. Service, atmosphere and decor also play a role. But if it was more the physical place that held all the attention? As dinner in the sky, as seen in Laval few years ago, dinner in the desert or under the sea ... Let us present some of the more extravagant concepts ...

In Finland, some brave can descend 80 meters underground for a meal prepared by the chefs of the best restaurants in the country.

In the United States, it is possible to eat like we were taken to the Alcatraz.

In Australia, dinner under the hot sun in the desert.

In France, it is possible to relive our childhood and eat well perched in a treehouse.

In Montreal, become blind-like during supper in the most complete darkness.

In Maldives, windows in a submarine tunnel let you observe sharks and fish while lunching.

In London, have a seat around historical urinals found two hundred years ago.

Does this short list gives you an idea of other restaurant concepts?
