Maybe you’re an adventurous eater, or just looking for a thrill beyond the standard of corporate chain swill, but undeniably, the these restaurants from around the world are the wildest you’ll ever encounter.
The Ithaa Undersea Restaurant
The Ithaa Undersea Restaurant is unlike any other dining experience you’ve had before.
The restaurant is a tank-like structure situated twenty feet below sea level at the Hilton Resort and Spa in the Maldives.
Patrons must remove their shoes when prior to entering, and must wait upstairs until all guests arrive, so they can descend five meters below the surface.

Marine life in the Pacific Ocean is not only gorgeous, but you can see fish, sharks and coral reefs from your table. Seafood is the main attraction, as you might expect.
It costs about $150 per person to have lunch at Ithaa on average. When added to the high price of a trip to the Maldives, it’s easy to see why the average tourist won’t be dining at Ithaa anytime soon.
The New Lucky Restaurant
Do you ever fantasize about having a meal with the departed? Maybe you’re one of the oddballs who really replied yes.
The New Lucky Restaurant in Ahmedabad, India, features authentic tombstones and sarcophagi from the 16th century.

The site of the cemetery was used for the restaurant’s construction. Krishnan Kutti, the property’s owner, thought it would be more courteous not to pave over the graves but rather to work around them.
There is no separation between the consumer and the deceased other than the steel bars around the coffins.
Incredibly, the New Lucky Restaurant is bustling with life. Actually, sales are through the roof. Kutti believes that the deceased are responsible for this good fortune.
The Modern Toilet
There’s a kid in all of us that enjoys a good gross-out joke, but that’s the last thing any of us wants to consider while we’re eating.
Shockingly, the Modern Toilet, a restaurant with a toilet motif, has been so successful in Taiwan that it has expanded to three locations!
Food at the Modern Toilet is served in bowls fashioned like toilets, beverages are presented in miniature plastic urinals.

They offer bathroom-themed delectables like the Turd Sub Sandwich, Constipation Black Stool Snowcones, and Mango Urine Snow Shavings.
You might be wondering, “Why on earth would anyone want to eat at a restaurant with a bathroom theme?”
You can’t discount the power of novelty, as seen by the success of the other eateries on this list.
Furthermore, excellent ratings from reviewers attest that the food at the Modern Toilet is not going to send patrons running for the john.
