100 Unique Theme Restaurants
The Most Offbeat Places to Eat and Drink Around the World:
Over the last few years, I’ve seen some very unique theme restaurants from around the world. Hotels also belong to my favourite topics to cover, which is why I’m so excited to have some of the most creative gems right here in one place. This cluster of unique theme restaurants and eccentric cafes is a true treat to look at, and while many look like they would be incredible to dine at, there are others I’d rather never see in real life (like the jail cell restaurant—no thanks!).
