TOILET THEMED
The toilet-themed restaurant from Taiwan, Marton Restaurant, is perhaps the best known. All of the seats are made from toilet bowls and the customers eat their food out of the mini loos. This may seem hard to imagine but at least the kooky idea does not turn some regular patrons' stomachs.

Customers place their orders from a row of toilets at Marton, Taiwan's most recent hit theme restaurant, (named after the Chinese word Matong, meaning toilet), Sunday, May 29, 2005, in Taiwan's southern port city of Khaohsiung. The restaurant's toilet theme has become so popular serving light meals and ice-cream treats in western and Asian style toilets, the owner Eric Wang, 26, has opened a second branch just seven months after the first.

PRISON THEMED
A waitress at the new theme restaurant the "Jail," designed to give diners the feeling they are eating in a prison, sets place mats in a room decorated with photos of Nazi death camps Tuesday, January 18, 2000, in Taipei. Most Taiwanese can describe in detail the atrocities committed by Japanese troops during World War II but many are still unclear about what happened in Europe under the Nazis.

SKY DINING
While it may not be a mile high, it certainly could seem so when you’re dining at more than 150 feet (50 meters) in midair — suspended by a crane with nothing between you and the ground but a small platform beneath your feet, and a seatbelt to keep you strapped in.
Restaurant guests sit at a table suspended at a height of 30 meters (about 98 feet), above the harbour of Monaco, Friday, July 9, 2010, as they test out the privileged diner facilities on this high-flying restaurant at the heart of the Monaco Principality. The metal table seating 22 people is secured to a platform and suspended by metal cords from a glass roof that is connected to a crane, which slowly lifts the table some 30 meters into the air, and the guests are strapped into large, cushioned black chairs not unlike those of a roller coaster.
DANS Le NOIR (EATING IN DARKNESS)
People enter the Dans le Noir (In the Black) restaurant Tuesday Sept.21, 2004 in Paris. Dining in the dark is a concept of a new restaurant in the City of Light that wants diners to know what it's like to be blind. Blind waiters serve as guides. The restaurant comes amid a growing effort to make Paris more handicapped friendly.
MILITARY THEMED BUNS & GUNS
At the "Buns and Guns" restaurant, with a military theme that is drawing in a sector of Lebanese proud of Hezbollah's battlefield successes, the chefs wear military helmets, the food is wrapped in camouflage paper, and the motto is "a sandwich can kill you."
AUTOMATED "S-BAGGERS"
Visitors to the ''s baggers' restaurant in Nuremberg, southern Germany, on Wednesday, May 30, 2007 wait for their orders at one of the restaurant's tables. The restaurant does not have waiters or watresses to serve the dishes but a system of trails on which the ordered meals are transported from the kitchen directly to the guests at their tables.
ROMANTIC TREE HOUSE
In this image provided by creo communications, the glowing Yellow Tree House restaurant is seen 10 meters (33 feet) high in a redwood tree on the outskirts of Auckland, New Zealand, Saturday, Dec. 13, 2008. The 12 meter (39 feet) tall split level, 10 meter (32 feet) wide eatery is meant to be a temporary eatery, but now with over 500 reservations booked already for the 18 seat restaurant for it's month-long run from early January 2009, and the season may be extended .
GRAVEYARD CAFE
People sits near graves at the New Lucky restaurant in Ahmadabad, India, Wedneday, Dec. 5, 2007. In India, death is a part of life. In the New Lucky Restaurant in this western Indian city, death is also a part of lunch. This bustling cafe in central Ahmadabad is famous for it's milky tea, it's buttery rolls, and the graves between the tables.
Enjoy your travel! :)
