Unusual restaurants in the world

1. "Hitlers' Cross"

Mumbai, India

The interior of this neo-Nazi restaurant is decorated with a swastika. The owner Punit Sablok says that before that, he did not think much about the name and chose this only to attract visitors, because the menu includes dishes mainly of Italian cuisine, and not at the cheapest price. Name restaurant many did not like it, because now it is called simply "Cross".

2. "Dans le Noir" ("In the dark")

chain of restaurants in Paris, London, New York, Barcelona, ​​St. Petersburg

Guests of this restaurant can dine in an atmosphere of total darkness. You can taste a meal in the dark in several restaurants of the world, in the largest metropolitan areas. Before entering the hall, visitors leave in the wardrobe all items that glow in the dark. Even mobile phones are no exception. Only then the waiter escorts the clients to the table. In the restaurant you will only be with yourself and with your sense of taste and smell.

3. "Eternity"

Truskavets, Ukraine

The restaurant-coffin called "Eternity" offers dinner in the Ukrainian city of Truskavets. The exterior of the building and the interior are completely related to the funeral theme. There are many funeral candles on the tables and on the walls. There are coffins everywhere. The menu offers to taste such dishes as "9th day" or "40th day"; as a hot dish, they serve a dish called "Meet me in paradise". Note that the restaurant turned out to be quite popular even for weddings.

4. "Dinner In The Sky"

Brussels, Belgium

For those who are tired of the noise, smoking and hustle and bustle in the halls, we suggest visiting a restaurant"Lunch in Heaven". The name speaks for itself. A special table, which is lifted into the air by a powerful crane, can be another place for a lunch break or an unusual date. However, it will be problematic to get the fallen spoon. The institution is located in Belgium, but if there is a desire and funds, the organizers are ready to bring it anywhere in the world.

5. "The Hobbit House"

Manila, Philippines

The only restaurant in the world where only dwarfs work, but the owners and staff themselves call themselves exclusively hobbits. The establishment is located in the capital of the Philippines, so national dishes and live ethnic music are included.

6. "Nyotaimori"

Japan

In many restaurants in the land of the rising sun, food is traditionally served on a naked human body. This custom is called "Nyotaimori". The girls are specially prepared for such work: at the first stage, all hair is removed from the body, and after that the girl takes a bath using a special odorless soap, at the end she is poured over with cool water. Before serving, the body of a girl (or a guy) must acquire the required temperature for serving dishes (mostly sushi). Also, girls, like real plates, should be able to lie motionless for several hours. They are also specially trained to do this.

Unique cafes

7. "Christian Cafe"

Shinjuku, Japan

The interior of this cafe resembles a Christian church. There is an iconostasis, a cross and many statues. Noisy parties are often held in the institution, therefore drinking cocktails, including alcoholic ones, is not uncommon here, but drunken fights in the Christian cafe have not yet happened.

8. "Modern Toilet"

Taiwan

An institution with the proud name "Modern toilet»For those people whose appetite is difficult to spoil with anything, because food is served here in special plates in the shape of a toilet bowl, drinks in plastic containers for collecting analyzes. Visitors to the cafe sit on toilet bowls, under the transparent tables of the establishment there are ordinary sinks. All this is done, according to the manager, to refresh the taste of visitors and of course to shock.

9. "The Owl Cafe"

Japan

You won't surprise anyone with cat cafes in Japan, so completely exotic establishments began to appear in the country. Now the owl theme is in vogue. In a standard café like this, 20-30 owls are kept, with which visitors are allowed to communicate and pick up. The Japanese fell in love with drinking their usual tea or coffee in the company of such cute, but still predatory and wild birds. The cafe is usually darkened, because owls are nocturnal birds and their eyes are not used to bright daylight. In these cafes, visitors can buy owl-themed souvenirs, which, by the way, are very popular. And long lines line up to the cafe every day, but even the lucky ones who get inside are given only 1 hour to “date” the owls. But it's worth it!

10. "Chongqing"

China

An unusual summer cafe has opened in China right on the shallow waters of a local river. The institution managed to gain great popularity. To the question “ How much does it cost to open a cafe in a place like this? " the organizers, perhaps, will answer that not much, because they have saved a lot on the air conditioning system. Also, the cafe is equipped with ordinary cheap plastic chairs and tables. The depth of the river at the location of the cafe is only about 1 cm. The long summer here is known for its high temperatures and high humidity, so the cafe on the river gives you the opportunity to get cool.

Original bars from around the world

11. The Brandy Library

New York, USA

To the question "How to get to the library?" the answer "What a library can be at three o'clock in the morning" will not be relevant. After all, this drinking establishment is an intellectual bar. They read labels here, and teach not new words at all, but the names of drinks. The interior of the bar, as the name implies, is made in the style of a library, but on the shelves there are by no means books, but more than 900 brandy names, single malt and blended whiskey, rum, brandy and liquor. Jazz evenings complete the picture, which, together with the general atmosphere, immerse visitors in the atmosphere of old New York. This bar has become the most popular among tourists visiting American metropolis .

12. Big Baobab Pub

Sunland Farm, Limpopo Province, South Africa

Who said that on opening your bar need a lot of money? In Africa, they just found the largest tree in the world and turned it into a bar for tourists, which is now known among tourists all over the world. In the bar, despite its unusual appearance, the interior is quite ordinary. The indigenous peoples of South Africa associate many legends with the baobab. The giant baobab from the Limpopo province is a little no less than 6,000 years old and about 60 people can be there at the same time. The idea came to the local businessman Van Herdens in such an unusual way, and in 1993 the bar received its first visitors. The selection of drinks in the bar is quite standard, the main one being beer. The advantage of this institution, located in the south of the hot continent, is that it always has a pleasant temperature (+22 C).

13. "Dick's Last Resort"

USA

It is a chain of bars and restaurants in the United States. The highlight of this establishment is the outstanding service. All boors, foul language and bully are collected here, because only such people are hired at Dick's Last Resort. Neither the receptionist nor the complaint book at this bar will help you. Insulting and humiliating visitors is one of the duties of the service personnel.

14. "Museum HR Giger Bar"

Grueira, Switzerland

Sometimes glamorous bars get so annoying that you want to spend time in a place where there really will be something new and original. This is exactly the principle that the sculptor and designer, legendary artist Hans Rudolf Giger adhered to, before how to open this bar... It was he who once created the concept of creatures and artistic design in the film Alien by Ridley Scott, and then founded the museum, where he exhibits his best works. But perhaps one of Giger's most impressive creations is the museum's bar, which opened in 2003. Every detail of the bar's interior makes visitors feel like they are inside an alien ship from the movie "Alien" or just in another reality. The pub was chosen spend your free time eccentric personalities and just drinkers in unusual places, and in 2011 this bar won the title of the most original bar in Europe.

15. "The Clinic Bar"

Singapore

Singaporeans offer tourists to visit an unusual hospital. It will not be difficult for a client with a sense of humor to imagine himself sick. It is a world famous nightclub and restaurant bar. The extravagant D. Hirst worked on the design and concept of the establishment. When you enter the bar, it will seem to you that you are in a morgue. Inside, instead of the usual places at the tables, you will see chambers with beds and gauze curtains, and instead of chairs - wheelchairs; droppers instead of glasses, food in medical plates. Despite all this, there are enough people who want to relax in a hospital style. After all these procedures, you can feel 100% healthy.

You go to the hairdresser - and there they will pour you a drink. "Pharmacy" - a bar. "Post" is a bar. But the "Wine-glass" is absolutely not what you thought. Our expert will tell you how to do barhopping and not screw it up.

A cafe

The owners of "Washing" call it "cafe-laundry". Indeed, here you can wash and drink coffee (already an interesting combination). And yet this is a real bar with shots, longs and colorful bartenders. Poets and DJs perform here, exhibitions are held. But the most important thing is that the youth of Petersburgers passes here. The institution has existed for many years and has long become a local legend. No wonder even the soloists of the Rolling Stones and Franz Ferdinand, coming on tour, entrusted their dirty clothes and pure hearts to “Washing”.

As well as at the post office, which is without quotes, here you can get into the queue - just not for a parcel, but for a drink. "Post" is a popular place, and this popularity is completely justified. It is cozy, atmospheric and delicious here. The bartenders are intelligent and charming. There is no menu or bar list, cocktails are made on a whim. You just need to set the leitmotif: "I want sour / herbal / sweet", and you will be understood. There are no fixed prices either, the cost of drinks fluctuates quite a lot. It's not the cheapest place in town, but it's certainly one of the best. By the way, you can also eat at the Post Office. The music, like the alcohol, is excellent. The interiors are crazy: some huge cans hang from the ceiling, birds watch from the walls.

Here you will be trimmed and fed with delicious burgers and given a drink.

However, there are no harsh face-controllers at the entrance, and the Pif-Papa employees are not snobs at all. The institution hosts interesting exhibitions, has a good selection of board games, and pleasant music sounds.

No, El Copitas is not the only St. Petersburg bar where the Mexican surroundings are well played. Then there's Dia de los Muertos, and it's just awesome!

Vegetarian Restaurant, Bar

There is a stereotype that vegetarians are non-drinkers. Like, they are too spiritual and airy for drinking. In fact, this is not the case. Vegetarians drink at least at the polygonal Hexagon. This is the city's first vegetarian wine bar (it also happens). And it seems to be the first bar where you can order signature vegan desserts. Moreover, part of the proceeds from their sale goes to the “Friend” shelter for homeless animals. Well, how can you not celebrate with a glass of wine for only 180 rubles? If, after a few glasses, the tables and dishes in the establishment seem hexagonal to you, do not be alarmed - they are.

The bar hosts lectures, film screenings and master classes.

Bar

This bar is located in the front door of an old and very beautiful mansion. It is somehow awkward to get drunk here - one would rather have intellectual conversations with a glass of good wine in hand. The institution was chosen by the stars of the St. Petersburg gossip. If you want to avoid the crowds and noise, it is better to come here early, in the early evening.

Who among us does not like to visit bars, restaurants or cafes. And in the original place, the gatherings leave much more pleasant memories. We offer 8 of the most unusual bars in the capital:

One of the best and most original establishments in the capital. Located on Kuznetsky Prospekt, on the 3rd floor of an old mansion. The bar has a unique interior and is conducive to a quiet rest. Inside there is furniture from the Arkhangelsk province, a very old Soviet TV, grandmother's lampshades, etc. All the things that came to this bar were used by past generations.

Piano bar on Bolshaya Nikitskaya, 22. This is a very unusual place. It is located in an old Moscow apartment. Inside there are wooden furniture, old lampshades, bookshelves and a piano. Visitors have the feeling that they are at home.

This is a cinema, a bar and a mini-disco all rolled into one. It is located in the center of Moscow, on Shchepkina street, 42 (Prospect Mira). In this unusual place, you can eat deliciously, watch movies or play football in the open air, dance and lie down on comfortable large ottomans. In winter, the Prospect Bar veranda turns into a skating rink, where a cozy cafe with mulled wine and hot chocolate opens.


Dragon Temple is a very original bar and restaurant located at 37 Leninsky Prospekt. Inside there is a children's room with slides. Mandarin ducks walk right through the hall, which are allowed to be fed. And the highlight of the institution is the half-aquarium with fish and turtles.

It is a bar, restaurant and club at the same time. Its originality lies in Latin American, Cuban and European cuisines. Also in this institution you can taste real Caribbean cocktails.

In the dark, this is perhaps the most original place of all. Located on Oktyabrskaya Street, 2/4. In this bar-restaurant, visitors dine in complete darkness. They begin to understand how the blind feel. In addition, food tastes better in the dark.

Rest is an important part of our life. Where can you have a good rest with friends, if not in a cozy bar? Relax after a working week, chat over a cocktail. What kind of bars are there? Variety. There are such interesting places that it is worth telling about them.

Let's start with a bar in Jordan. The bar is located in a burial cave.

Only one cave is allowed here for commercial purposes. And this unusual bar is located in it. The walls of the ancient cave are part of an ancient grave that was carved out many centuries ago by the Nabateans. The tables stand both in the open air, on a spacious area outside, and in the cave itself, where the lamp light casts ominously - bloody reflections on the sandstone walls. Some of the tables are located in niches, which, most likely, were to be used for burials. The bar will appeal to the originals, as this eerie place is both terrifying and curious. In general, an exotic place.

But a bar in Jamaica is a warm piece of paradise. It looks like a bunch of palm branches, leaves, carelessly fixed on piles right on the water. Inside the bar there are rope ladders, hammocks that will welcome their guests and allow them to sit comfortably with a glass of cocktail in their hands. And benevolent dolphins are happily splashing around the bar.

Another extraordinary bar is located in Sweden. It receives its visitors only in the autumn - winter period. This is an ice bar. Every year it is built from huge blocks of ice. The very beautiful design of the bar from the inside sets you up for a romantic mood, despite the cold.

Another exotic place is a bar located in a cliff cave above the ocean - a favorite vacation spot for both locals and tourists who come to Menorca. This bar's regulars love to sit under the umbrellas on the outdoor terrace and admire the Balearic Islands. At night, the bar turns into a disco.

In the Israeli city of Eilat, you can visit a real underwater bar-restaurant. It is built in the shape of a star, which matches its name. The bar is completely decorated in a marine style. The lower floors are submerged in the water, the kitchen and the dance floor are located on the upper ones. Luxurious and exclusive bar.
