15 Strange restaurants

Some restaurants are more than just burgers and fries. From a doctor themed restaurant dedicated to making you gain weight to a pizzeria with a satanic streak, join me as we count down some really unique food shops.

#15: Dinner In The Sky

One slip and you'll go from eating soup to being soup!
Places of business: Various places
This fancy restaurant offers expensive meals for up to 22 people suspended 165 feet in the air from a crane. If you're acrophobic, I'd recommend keeping an extremely wide berth.

#14: Disaster Cafe

Hang on to your pizza!
Place of business: Spain
Customers take an elevator down into a cave-like dining area, making it seem like you're going to the center of the earth. As if that wasn't enough, every meal comes with a simulated 7.8 magnitude earthquake.

#13: Ice Restaurant

Don't lick the walls!
Place of business: United Arab Emirates
As the name implies, this restaurant is sculpted completely out of ice, despite taking place in an otherwise hot part of the world. How they make this work, I have no idea.

#12: The Rock

This rocks! Pun intended!
Place of business: Zanzibar
Instead of being located on shore, this boulder-shaped restaurant is stationed right in the Indian Ocean, near the Michanwi Pingwe Beach. To get a taste of its cuisine, you're gonna have to swim or get a canoe.

#11: Mr Kanso

Who knew you could get so many things from a hollow metal cylinder?
Place of business: Japan
This place isn't the most elegant on the planet. It has over 300 items on the menu, but every one of them comes from a can.

#10: Heart Attack Grill

This stuff couldn't be worse for you if it all was deep fried!
Place of business: Las Vegas
The doctor theme is rather odd, but the real shock comes from how unhealthy the food is. The burgers are huge and have hundreds, if not thousands of calories, the fries are coated with lard, the shakes are made of pure butter and cigarettes are available for purchase. Its enough to make the average fast food restaurant look like a dieters dream come true.

#9: Fortezza Medicea

Better watch yourself! That waiter was probably a thief or something!
Place of business: Italy
Housed in the old fortress of the same name, this restaurant is also a prison. As a rehabilitation scheme, prisoners are hired to cook and serve food to the customers.

#8: Labassin Waterfall Restaurant

That's a lot of dam power!
Place of business: Philipines
Not only do diners eat outdoors here, but they also get to let their feet soak in water, as they are right next to a waterfall. The waterfall in question, dubbed the Labasin Falls, is actually runoff from the Lambasin Dam.

#7: Baggers

The future is here!
Place of business: Nuremberg
This place completely replaces waitresses with robotic service. Customers place their orders using touchscreen computers and watch their food slide down to them on metallic slides.

#6: Mars Restaurant 2112

This place was too otherworldly for this planet!
Former place of business: New York's Time Square
Customers who come here are surrounded by a decorations reminiscent of the red planet and employees dressed like martians. Customers are taken to the dining area by a UFO and taken to the exit by a teleporter. Unfortunately, the place shut down in January 2012.

#5: Devil Island Prison

Feel like a hardened criminal for one day!
Place of business: China
This restaurant is made to look like a prison. Every table is surrounded by prison bars, staff are dress liked prisoners and prison guards and customers are led to their tables in handcuffs and served coffin shaped fried bread.

#4: Cannibal Sushi

This is as gory as raw fish can get!
Place of business: Japan
This one ain't for the faint hearted. This place serves sushi, but they package it in fake corpses, which you have to them open to get your food.

#3: Modern Toilet

Of all the themes for your restaurant, why the place where people dispose of their digested dinners?
Place of business: Taipei
Perhaps the most bizarre theme for a restaurant is the bathroom. Not only do patrons sit on closed toilet seats, but the food is also served in toilet bowls, including chocolate ice cream.

#2: Hell Pizza

This pizza is literally devilishly good!
Place of business: New Zealand
As the name implies, this pizza place is themed after the bad afterlife. Not only does the place have sacrilegious decorations, but it goes as far as naming its pizzas after the 7 deadly sins. They even have a promotional interactive YouTube video where you play a Hell Pizza delivery boy trying to deliver a pizza to a woman during a zombie apocalypse. You can read about and play it here.

#1: The Clinic

Wait until you see what goes on in the kitchen!
Place of business: Singapore
This bizarre place is made to look like a hospital, right down to bedpans filled with dumplings and syringes filled with ketchup. Patrons chill out in wheelchairs while the doctor-dressed chefs make their food prep look like strange science experiments, right in an open demo kitchen under the glow of operating room lights.

Given the sheer amounts of restaurants on the planet, there is no way I could count every single one of them. If you know of any I missed, I wouldn't mind any suggestions. I'll see you later. Have a happy Thanksgiving.
