Even though everyone needs to eat, some are interested in making food consumption as exciting as possible through extreme dining experiences. Trend Hunter Senior Editor Jaime Neely discusses her favorite examples of this, from cave restaurants, to cliffside eateries and icy dining experiences.
Architecture is an important element of extreme dining, as is location. Eating inside a cave, on a cliffside or on a frozen river all rely on nature to make a lasting impression with diners. This is happening in different parts of the world as well, including the coast of Italy, northern China and the Canadian prairies.
Some extreme dining experiences are more adrenaline inducing than others. Whether you are enjoying an elegant and exclusive meal on ice or hovering in the sky overlooking Venice, there are many radical restaurants to see.
