As many of you do, I love to eat. But sometimes, I do go to a restaurant for reasons other than the food. This cluster of one-of-a-kind restaurants that focus on decor over dishes, fits that bill.
What to order will always be an afterthought at a robot-run restaurant or a toilet-themed restaurant. There are also prison-themed eateries and restaurants where you dine in the dark. When it comes to one-of-a-kind restaurants, these featured eateries are serving up style.
