World's weird restaurants

ROBOT RESTAURANT – TOKYO, JAPAN





With strobe lights, pulsating music and bikini-clad women staging battles with robots, this Tokyo basement restaurant feels like something from outer space.



THE BUNYADI

It’s not the food that earns this restaurant its 'unusual' tag – although it looks pretty quirky too – it’s the dining conditions. At this London eatery, diners eat naked.




M6M



Fancy dining under the sea? You can at the newly opened M6m at OZEN by Atmosphere in the Maldives. Decked out in plush furnishings and colors to reflect the ocean, the fine dining restaurant serves a modern seafood menu to diners who will eat should to shoulder with fish, sharks and stingrays.




DINNER IN THE SKY



If you squirm at the thought of heights, you might want to avoid this restaurant. Being strapped to a table attached to a crane elevated around 100 feet in the sky is not a dining experience for the faint hearted. Originating in Belgium, sky-high eatery has been rolled out everywhere from Australia to Africa, with various guest chefs, including Michelin-starred Joel Robuchon, climbing aboard to showcase their skills. You can hold everything from a breakfast meeting to a wedding up there.



DANS LE NOIR?

While many say you eat with your eyes, this particular restaurant brand requires you to do the complete opposite. Located in London, Barcelona, Paris and St Petersburg these restaurants make diners eat in complete darkness, relying on their other senses to navigate through the meal. We can’t tell you much about the menu as all the dishes are a surprise and are served by waiters who are blind or visually impaired.



CAT CAFÉ – MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA



Cat lovers rejoice, this café is for you. The first of its kind in Australia, the Cat Café has 14 felines from rescue shelters in residence who are eagerly waiting for a snuggle. Entry costs $7 (£5), and the menu offers a range of cakes, slices and coffees. While the food might be limited the furry felines are the main attraction. Best of all, if you really like one you can adopt it.




CEREAL KILLER CAFÉ



These placeswill take you back to your childhood. Run by twins Alan and Garry (pictured), each café serves over 120 cereals from around the world, 30 different varieties of milk, and 20 amazing toppings –think sprinkles and chocolate sauce. The cafés are decked out in 90s memorabilia with old TV sets playing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and band posters lining the walls. There are single beds in place of tables and chairs, making it feel like you’re in your childhood bedroom.




CAFÉ BRITANNIA – NORWICH, UNITED KINGDOM

Looking at this Norwich eatery, it looks like any other café, with a menu full of British classics in a peaceful village setting. But what makes this place unique is its employees. The café is staffed by prisoners from a nearby prison. But before you spit out your scones, they’re category D low risk prisoners who receive onsite job training and mentoring. All tips go to a victim support charity.




HEART ATTACK GRILL – LAS VEGAS, UNITED SATES

At this restaurant the bigger the better and that’s certainly the case with the burgers, the calorie count and the customers. Patrons weighing 350 pounds or more eat for free in the hospital-themed eatery, where the waitresses dress as nurses and drinks are served via an IV. It’s famous for its Octuple Bypass Burger (it has 40 slices of bacon), which at 19,900 calories holds the Guinness World Record as the most calorific burger in the world.




ALI BARBOUR’S CAVE RESTAURANT, KENYA



If history is your thing, take a trip to Kenya and rewind a couple of hundred centuries in Ali Barbour’s Cave Restaurant. Hidden inside a cave thought to be up to 180,000 years old, the magical location is situated 30km (18.6 miles) south of Mombasa. The natural holes in the cave ceiling mean you can dine on the locally sourced and seasonal food.




ROLLERCOASTER

This restaurant, as the name suggests, is rollercoaster themed. And while you might not associate a nice meal with a thrill-seeking ride, this chain now has locations in Hamburg, Vienna and Abu Dhabi. Customers place their orders on tablet computers at their table, then kick back and wait for their meals, which are delivered via their own personal rollercoaster.




ICE LOUNGE – DUBAI



Chill out in this icy wonderland in Dubai, the first of its kind in the Middle East. Originally opening in 2007, it underwent a major refurbishment in 2014. For $20 (£14) guests can relax on chairs made of ice in minus six degrees. But don’t worry, on arrival you’re given a hooded parka, woolen gloves, shoes and socks and spend a few minutes in a buffer zone to help you acclimatize.




WATERFALL RESTAURANT – SAN PABLO CITY, PHILIPPINES

For a truly refreshing dining experience look no further than the Waterfall Restaurant in the Villa Escudero resort. Located right next to the man-made Labasin Falls, guests are seated at long bamboo tables where they’ll dine on a buffet of meats and curries. If you’re thirsty there’s plenty of water to wash that meal down with as the clear spring water gently nips at your ankles.




NINJA – NEW YORK, UNITED STATES

This underground NYC eatery does just that. On arrival guests are guided through a secret path to the dining room which resembles an old world Ninja village. But watch out for the ninjas who are poised to jump out at you just as you’re about to take a bite of your sushi. They’ll also jump through walls and perform magic tricks at your table.




EL DIABLO – LANZAROTE, SPAIN



What makes this restaurant special is its unique cooking method. Doing away with a basic stove top, the chefs at El Diablo cook their meat to perfection using the heat of a volcano. A giant grill has been laid across an opening where, just six feet below, lava bubbles at 400 degrees. If you’re worried about any underground rumblings interrupting your dinner, don’t be, the dormant volcano has been peacefully gurgling below the surface since its last eruption way back in 1824.



LE REFUGE DES FONDUES – PARIS, FRANCE

What makes this Parisian eatery unique is the way it serves its wine. In an effort to avoid French tax on wine served in proper glasses, guests can suck back the finest bottle of red from a baby’s bottle. So diners chow down on cheesy fondue, the house specialty, while sucking on a teat! It might bring back childhood memories but this is strictly adults only.
