There’s thousands of cultures all around the world, yet there is one thing that can unite them all – food. Who doesn’t love food, especially at restaurants that offer a unique experience? Here are 8 restaurants that are truly unusual around the world.
1.) Yellow Treehouse Restaurant
Location: Auckland, New Zealand
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
The restaurant started as an ad campaign for Yellow, the New Zealand version of the Yellow Pages. The objective was to build a restaurant using only materials from the company’s directories in a redwood tree. The restaurant was open from December 2008 to February 2009 but it is now being considered for use in private parties and events. 5,000 people are still on the waiting list to get a chance to eat at this beautiful treehouse.

2.) Modern Toilet
Location: Taipei, Taiwan
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
This bathroom themed Taiwanese joint is all the rage. The seats are actually toilet bowls (unused, of course) and all the food is served in toilet bowl shaped dishes. Even the drinks are served in mini urinals. The walls have showerheads built in and the ceiling has plungers that hang. The biggest hit at Modern Toilet is the chocolate ice cream served in one of the toilet bowl shaped dishes. There are currently 12 locations with plans for more in Malaysia and Macau.

3.) Dans le Noir?
Locations: Paris, London, Moscow, Barcelona, others
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
Dans le Noir? offers a truly unique dining experience. After enjoying a cocktail in the lit bar and lounge (and placing your order), you are escorted to your table by a blind waiter. The room is completely pitch dark and nothing that can potentially bring light is allowed (such as cell phones or cameras). The object is that since you cannot see, your other senses are heightened, allowing for a different and unforgettable dining experience.
4.) Dinner in the Sky
Location: Belgium/Anywhere
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
This high-flying restaurant lifts you 150 feet in the air. The table can fit 22 people and three staff in the middle (chef, waiter, entertainer). It can literally be taken anywhere the crane can fit. There have been dinners over Las Vegas on New Year’s Eve, over soccer matches in Australia, and even near Big Ben in London. You can even rent a second platform for a band! While you might be paying a pretty penny to rent this aerial dinner for 8 hours, it may be worth it to dine with a view unmatched.

5.) Ithaa Undersea Restaurant
Location: Rangalifinolhu, Maldives
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
This undersea restaurant is a stunning beauty. Located in the Hilton in Maldives, this restaurant offers guests an amazing “fish-eye’s” view of the Indian Ocean. Only 14 people can be seated in this small restaurant, and expect to pay some big bucks ($120-150 per person), but the view may be one you wouldn’t get to see during any normal circumstances. Ithaa is 15 feet below the surface and in a coral reef, no less. Wonder if you get to pick your food?
6.) NINJA New York
Location: New York City, New York
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
At NINJA New York, you get served and waited on by ninjas. At any moment in this dark restaurant, they could pop out and refill your drink or get a utensil for you. Even going to the bathroom could lead to surprises. There are no requirements to be a server/ninja here; they will put you in a ninja course to learn how to be more ninja-y.
7.) Alux Restaurant & Lounge
Location: Playa del Carmen, Mexico
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
At Alux Restaurant & Lounge, you actually eat and drink inside of a cave. The cave has different areas for the actual restaurant, the bar, dance floor, and the lounge. The stalactites and stalagmites are illuminated in different shades of yellow, blue, violet and pink, among others. Sometimes there’s even live music at Alux.
8.) Heart Attack Grill
Locations: Chandler, Arizona & Orlando, Florida
 |
 |
 |
This hospital themed eatery can’t be accused of false advertising. Besides burgers and fries, the grill sells Jolt Cola and no filter cigarettes. Oh, and the fries are deep-fried in lard. The biggest burger on the menu, the Quadruple Bypass Burger, contains 2 pounds of beef, four cheese layers, and 12 slices of bacon for a whopping 8,000 calories. Any customer that weights over 350 pounds can eat for free.
