7 Creepiest Restaurants in the world




Creepy, scary, unappetizing – these are hardly the words one would expect to use when describing an interesting restaurant or café. And yet, this is a list of some of the creepiest restaurants in the world. Places known for their shock value, be it an extreme location, bizarre theme and ambience, or just an unimaginable menu for all things out of the ordinary. If you’re bored of the straight and narrow, this list of extremely zany restaurants brought to you by Farebucket may be just the thing for you.

1. Dans Le Noir, Paris/London/St Petersburg/Barcelona

                     

This chain of restaurants introduced the concept of dining in the dark to mainstream restaurants. By blindfolding guests and restricting the sense of sight, the restaurant aims to offer an experience where all the other senses are not just awakened but also heightened. The menu is primarily French-inspired, and usually a surprise to guests who discover what they’ve been served through touch, smell and taste but also through conversations with waiters and fellow diners. While the concept sounds exciting, its certainly not the best recommendation for those who have a fear of the dark!

2. Modern Toilet Restaurant, Taiwan

                                 

Whoever said the toilet is not a good place to eat hasn’t heard of the Modern Toilet Restaurant – a Taiwanese chain of restaurants that as the name suggests are build around a toilet theme. From décor elements to the names of dishes on the menu to the way they look and are presented, everything about this restaurant comes with a touch of being in a toilet. From gratins served in bathtub shaped bowls, to desserts served in urinal-styled bowls, it’s truly a test for only those who can stomach it!

3. Heart Attack Grill, Las Vegas



 Where waitresses are dressed like nurses, your order is called a prescription and you’re given a hospital gown to wear before you dig into your coronary-inducing meal – that’s the Heart Attack Grill, for you. A hamburger restaurant like no other, ever item on the menu here has the potential to pile on more calories than you would care to indulge in, putting you in serious danger of busting an artery or giving your heart a jolt. On the menu are things like a ½ Pound Coronary Dog, Onion Rings deep fried in pure lard, Flatliner Fries, Bypass Burgers amongst several other things laced with naughty innuendos. If that encourages you enough to try out this creepy restaurant, head to the Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas.

4. New Lucky Restaurant, Ahmedabad

                               

If dining in the dark is mild, try dining with the dead at New Lucky Restaurant in Ahmedabad. Believed to be located exactly where a graveyard once was, the restaurant has not-so-pleasant interruptions in the décor and ambience by way of graves that were left untouched when the restaurant was built. Local loyalists come back faithfully to have the bun-maska-chai (buttery bread rolls served with milky Indian tea) and are rather unperturbed by the coffins lying within the restaurant.

5. Eternity, Ukraine

                      

It’s called a coffin bar, and the restaurant takes its name rather seriously. Eternity is quite literally built inside a casket and completely lives up to its death and funeral theme. Run by the local funeral parlour and undertakers, it’s got all the makings of a creepy meal experience, replete with dim lighting, creepy candle-lit settings and a menu filled with ominous-sounding food. Definitely a place for those inclined to all things morbid and have a taste for the extraordinary.

6. Vampire Café, Tokyo



Taste a macabre kind of culinary experience at the Vampire Café. From large pictures of red blood cells on the red walls to randomly placed coffins scattered in the restaurant, Goth-dressed waiters and red cocktails with syringes used as food props – this café gets full marks for sticking to theme and invoking a seriously spooky feeling from the word go. If you get past the décor and ambience and order the bloody drinks and food, you get full marks for stomaching this seriously morbid restaurant too!

7. Dinner In The Sky, Belgium

                     

Suspended mid-air, at exactly the point where an appetite for extreme experiences meets the love for an out of the world dining experience, is Dinner In The Sky. A travelling concept restaurant, it literally affords an experience of dining in the sky. Your dinner table, along with your guests and waiters is suspended at a dizzying height of 150 feet, with 360 degree views all around.
