Unusual and Unique Restaurants Around The world

Travel, food and scuba diving are some of my greatest passions in life. I try my best to experience all of them as much as possible. I can’t always do them all together, though I try, but I can usually combine travel and food together. I have never been to any of these destinations 9though I have been to Melbourne, Australia many times, and Spain a couple of times), nor have I ever been to any of these restaurants, YET. Yet is the key word. There is still plenty of time. I would love to experience ALL of these exotic and unique places. 

Chillout Ice Lounge; WHERE: Dubai

The capital of the United Arab Emirates is one of the world’s most extravagant cities, and it’s no wonder someone had the idea to open a restaurant made entirely of ice. The Chillout Ice Lounge comprises 26,900 square feet of ice, and the average temperature there is -21°F.

When you first enter the restaurant, you are offered a warming hot chocolate to help you get used to the cold (it’s sweltering outside), then are handed a jacket, wool gloves, shoes, and socks. After acclimating to the cold in “the buffer zone,” you can enjoy food such as hot soups, chicken skewers, or red velvet cake while taking in the play between light and ice.

Supperclub.Tube; WHERE: London, England

Indulging in piping hot meals while riding the London Underground is usually a big no-no unless you happen to be aboard the Supperclub.tube, a decommissioned 1967 Victoria Line tube carriage at Walthamstow Pumphouse Museum. Often repurposed for video and photoshoots, on three nights a week, the carriage undergoes a remarkable transformation into one of London’s trendiest and most exclusive dining destinations.

Since 2018, passionate tube culture and gastronomy enthusiasts have taken their seats on moquette-covered benches while tucking into a sumptuous six-course Latin American menu curated by the talented Colombian head chef, Beatriz Maldonado Carreño. You’ll find several smaller tables dispersed throughout the subway car, but if you feel like making new friends, join the long group table … it is a supper club, after all.

Labassin Waterfall Restaurant; WHERE: Villa Escudero, Philippines

Labassin Waterfall Restaurant, just under two hours south of the capital, Manila, by car, is best visited in swimwear. If you have lunch at the extraordinary waterfall restaurant of the Villa Escudero Plantations and Resort, you will almost certainly not stay dry for long. At the foot of a man-made waterfall, you can enjoy your Kamayan-style Filipino buffet of fish, rice, barbecue chicken, and bananas in the fresh air while water splashes around your feet and the sound of the waterfall roars in your ears.
