10 Weirdest and Craziest Restaurants In The World
Welcome to the freak show, with the 10 weirdest and craziest restaurants in the world!
We all love trying new things when going on holiday, and these extreme restaurants are both shocking and quite intriguing in the same time.
Dining is not only about eating delicious food, the atmosphere being an important game-changer.
And these weird and unique restaurants know how to keep things spicy by being as unconventional as it can get.
From bizarre décors, to shocking ambiance, unusual staff, and weird dishes, these restaurants range from funny to intriguing and even strange or disturbing.
So let’s have a look and be prepared to be amazed!
1.Disaster Cafe – Lloret de Mar, Spain
Have you ever dined during an earthquake?
Probably not, but that’s why Disaster Cafe is here for. Located in Lloret de Mar, Spain, Disaster Cafe will offer you an exciting experience, with its simulated earthquakes.
With 7.8 earthquakes, the cave-like restaurant has staff which wears construction helmets and safety equipment. Dishes are a lot heavier than usual ones, and I think you might figure out why: because, at some point, the earthquake starts.
The lights go off, the room starts moving, but your food will not fly off the table. In the worst case, it will spill, so don’t wear your best outfit when going to Disaster Cafe. The restaurant is pretty popular, so make sure you make a reservation before going there!
Here’s a video for you to enjoy!
How about dining in complete darkness? ->
2.Opaque Restaurant – Los Angeles
Our next stop is in Los Angeles, at Opaque Restaurant.
Romantic dinners usually are held at candle-light, but how about dining in complete darkness? Is that romanticism or weirdness?
I don’t know what is, but Opaque Restaurant is for sure one of the weirdest and craziest restaurants in the world! Based in LA, this restaurant will make you use just your taste, smell, and touch when you dine, because you won’t see a thing.
The restaurant’s concept is to raise awareness about blindness, and it seems like people do enjoy this experiment, saying that the food never tasted better.
Waiters are wearing special glasses that allow them to see in the dark. Other restaurants similar to Opaque Restaurant are in New York, San Diego, Dallas, Montreal, and London.
#3’s theme is sexual organs. Wondering how that looks or tastes like? Find out next!
3.Guolizhuang Restaurant – Beijing
Our number 3 on the list of unique and crazy restaurants is Guolizhuang Restaurant.
Based in Beijing, the Guolizhuang Restaurant is a naughty one. The restaurant’s theme is nothing other than… sexual organs. An not, not those of humans.
You probably heard that Chinese people will eat anything with four legs, except tables, and as you can see, they kind of do.
The Penis restaurant (excuse my language) is specialized in cooking the male genitalia of various animal species, mainly horse, donkey, dog, ox, goat, sheep, and snake. The restaurant has a special wine as well, made of extracts of heart, penis, and blood of deer, which is said to work better than Viagra. How weird is that?
But, on the bright side, Chinese believe that animal genitalia is good for male potency, and doing wonders for women’s skin. So is this a win-win, or a big no-no?
#4’s staff is made entirely of robots! ->
4.Hajime Robot Restaurant – Thailand
And welcome to Hajime Robot Restaurant, in Thailand!
The first and only restaurant which has a staff made entirely of robots, Hajime Robot Restaurant in Thailand is something incredibly unique.
This futuristic diner has its entire personnel made of robots that costed around $1 million. And yes, they are the ones that take your order, cook it, and serve it to you. So don’t get upset if it takes a little longer than usual.
The robots are assisted by few human staff, and after they serve the dishes they also become animators, by dancing and putting up a show.
So all the high-tech and Sci-Fi enthusiasts (and not only) book your ticket now and go to this restaurant!
Here’s a sneak peek of all that craziness!
Ready to eat off of a naked body? ->
5.Hadaka Sushi – West Hollywood
One of the weirdest and craziest restaurants is Hadaka Sushi.
Based in West Hollywood, this restaurant will offer you a sexy dining experience for sure. An adults-only restaurant, Hadaka Sushi takes dining to another level, serving Nyotaimori, or body sushi.
That is, if you order sushi or sashimi, you are in for a surprise. A naked one. The food for the ladies will be served on a naked male model, while the gentlemen will get a naked woman, of course.
This is done in a very hygienic way, the food being laid on banana leaves, so it doesn’t come in contact with the skin. The naughty parts of the models’ bodies are covered with flowers, so don’t get your hopes up!
Pay the money to go to jail! ->
6.Devil Island Prison – China
Our next unique restaurant is the Devil Island Prison, in China.
Ever dined in a jail? Probably not, but you could try it, without being guilty of something, of course. The Devil Island Prison looks exactly like a concentration camp, its owner wanting to raise awareness on the difficulties of life in imprisonment and the harsh conditions of detention.
The Devil Island Prison takes its role seriously, so be prepared to be photographed, have an allocated inmate number tag, get fingerprinted and handcuffed. Yes, all that in a restaurant.
In the cells where you dine you will find simple metal tables, with the furnishing being replicas of the prison décor, iron bars, and all that. The waiters wear black and white striped jail uniforms.
Want to dine with the fish? ->
7.Ithaa Underwater Restaurant – The Maldives
One of the world’s most beautiful and unique restaurants is the Ithaa Underwater Restaurant.
Based in The Maldives, the Ithaa Underwater Restaurant is built 5 meters under the blue water of the Indian Ocean.
Luxurious and elegant, this restaurant will offer you a romantic and unique experience, with a stunning view that includes a lagoon and coral reefs.
The restaurant is made of a transparent acrylic capsule, whose walls and vaulted ceilings are completely transparent. The amazing restaurant has only 7 tables, the project costing $5 million.
The signature dish is the Crab Tower with ciabatta and truffle mayonnaise, the most amazing meal being a four-course contemporary fusion Maldivian menu.
Eating in the toilet is taken to a whole new level ->
8.Marton Theme Toilet Restaurant – Taiwan
One of the weirdest and craziest restaurants in the world is the Marton Theme Restaurant, in Taiwan.
You probably know that eating in the toilet is not the best thing to do, but Modern Toilet flushes that rule right down the… toilet.
This odd restaurant has its seating in the shape of toilets, bowls that look like miniature WC or sinks, and the table looks like a bathtub. The napkins are replaced with toilet paper, and the lamps are made of urinals.
The restaurant was a success, the owner launching a chain throughout Taiwan, so care to join the crowd and dine in a toilet?
An unique dining experience that will make you feel like your head is in the clouds. And it really is! ->
9.Dinner in the Sky
Our next unique dining experience is dinner in the sky.
Not exactly a restaurant, but a concept, dining in the skies has had a success in many European countries, and in the United States.
If you want to have the most amazing view of your life, and a very exciting dinner, then try it. You will dine on a platform suspended from a crane of around 50 meters above the ground, along with your personal chef and possibly, an entertainer.
The platform can accommodate around 22 people, and it costs approximately $30.000 to be in the skies for eight hours.
Be careful not to drop your fork and to use the toilet before, because if you need to go back down on ground, the whole platform has to go down with you.
The most dangerous criminals will serve your food ->
10.Fortezza Medicea – Italy
The last, but one of the most interesting restaurants, is the Fortezza Medicea, in Italy.
If the Devil Island Prison shocked you, get ready for this: in the Fortezza Medicea you are dining in a real prison, the prisoners being your waiters.
Yep, I’m not even joking. The 500-year-old maximum security prison is the home of the most dangerous prisoners, them serving 25 years to life sentences.
The prisoners are your waiters, and entertainers, Bruno, the piano player, being a man who is serving life for murder. Spine-tingling, right?
Dining with the criminals. Do you dare to try it?
