Tokyo is home to some odd theme restaurants, but Alice of Magic World is one I'd actually like to try. This eatery is inspired by the Lewis Carroll classic, and features several different "rooms" with aesthetics that channel the must-read children's book.
The first two images depict the "forest" room. Neatly trimmed "hedges" made of carpet and immaculate topiaries are surrounded by checkered floors and walls, mirrors and odd-shaped doors. In another room, a heart-shaped table and chandelier made of hearts beckon an aspiring Queen of Hearts; nearby, playing card tables are set off by lush black banquettes and blood-red seats.
Alice of Magic World was designed by Fantastic Design Works Co., and is the fourth Alice in Wonderland-themed restaurant owned by its restaurant group.
