Taking the idea of 'niche' to the next level, experimental restaurants and cafes are popping up around the world to satisfy consumers who are looking to not only to try something new, but also also something worthy to share with friends and followers across different social media platforms.
From turning casual meals such as canned seafood and french fries into gourmet experiences to creating a unique twist on condiments like mustard and olive oil, these examples of artisan dining will intrigue many people to no end. They are must-see venues that are draws to both residents and visitors in any given city.
