Extreme Restaurants is all about unique experiences. This book reveals in words and pictures 42 radically original restaurants, bistros, brasseries and eateries from all over the world. Whether they are restaurants that stand out because of location, architecture or their interiors or they are extreme on the level of service, amusement or the meal, the goal of each one is to push the boundaries of the eating experience. During the selection process, we were especially guided by criteria such as originality, quality and authenticity. As a result, you won`t find a list of well known theme restaurants with branches all over the world in this book. The chosen restaurants are divided into 5 chapters. Under` Location` you will find establishments that are defined by their environment, such as restaurants underwater, in the snow, in a tree house and in a sea cave. The `Transportation` chapter is about means of transport that have been converted into restaurants, including a train, a cable car, a carriage and a tram. `Interior Design & Entertainment`th rows light on establishments that radiate originality through their interior or their amusement value, such as a film restaurant, a completely dark brasserie, a karaoke temple and an astronomic restaurant. Chapter`Service & Food` delves into businesses that are unique in terms of service or that serve exceptional meals, such as an automated restaurant, an establishment run by prisoners, a culinary laboratory and a food design studio. And finally,Architecture` describes restaurants that cause a stir because of the view from where they are housed, such as an outdoor restaurant on a skyscraper, an establishment inside a centuries old Roman cistern, a restaurant on top of 4 gigantic hot water tanks or inside the monumental Atomium in Brussels. Just like Extreme Hotels ?the first book in this series ? some establishments are exclusive and therefore expensive, while others simply want to be creative and are therefore aimed at a wider public and an average budget. One thing is certain: there is some-thing in this book to suit everyone`s purse and taste. Whether you leaf through it in search of a dream location for the world`s most original wedding proposal or birthday party, to be amazed by human creativity or to enjoy the breathtaking photographs, you can`t go wrong with these restaurants!
