If you’re one of those people that get bored easily, especially with mundane everyday tasks like eating, then consider a trip to Disaster Cafe in Lloret de Mar, Spain where you are guaranteed to feel the full weight of a magnitude 7.8 earthquake at every meal.Advertised as the world’s first ever undersea restaurant, the Hilton Undersea Resort & Spa opened Ithaa (meaning “pearl”) in the Maldives in 2007. Situated just a couple meters below the surface of the Indian Ocean it provides amazing panoramic views of the surrounding coral reef. This Australian restaurant takes you half way around the world and a century back in time onto the maiden voyage of the doomed RMS Titanic. It even has separate quarters for first and second class. Don’t worry though, survival is guaranteed.photo – nytimes.com
The 180 year old Kalin Tavern somehow managed to get itself into a bit of a fix. You see, its customers can start their meal in Slovenia, cross the room, and finish it in Croatia (the owner even painted a bright yellow line across the floor to mark the spot). This, of course, wouldn’t be as much of an issue if it weren’t for the fact that Slovenia is in the European Union and Croatia is not. It just puts a bit of strain on their political relationship, which translates into some confusing moments when tipsy Slovenians accidently go out the wrong door and wind up running into the less than impressed Croatian border patrol.

As one of the world’s most intense restaurants where else would El Diablo be but sitting on the tip of a volcano? And what’s more, when your restaurant is precariously situated over a deep well of lava, who needs to buy an oven? These are all good questions and the owners of this smokin’ hot grill answered correctly when they opened it on top of the Islote de Hilario volcano.
This chain of restaurants run by the North Korean government has expanded throughout China and southeast Asia featuring typical North Korean cuisine and entertainment. Hey, if you can’t feed your own people feed someone else’s – at least you get money for it right? A somewhat controversial eatery, Heart Attack Grill deliberately serves “food so bad for you it’s shocking”. Emulating a hospital, the waitresses are dressed as nurses who take orders (prescriptions) from the “patients”. A tag is then wrapped around the customer’s wrist with their order which can include anything from a quadruple bypass hamburger to flatliner fries. And oh yea, if you weigh in at over 350 lbs., you eat free.1 2
