Surreal Artistic Eateries

This Salvador Dali-Inspired Restaurant Pays Homage to the Great Artist

If you are a fan of Salvador Dali and his imaginative and surrealist art, you'll be glad to know that a Salvador Dali-inspired restaurant has just opened up in Riga, Latvia.

Cafe Dali does a beautiful job capturing the the spirit of eccentric artist and his unique expression using shapes and symbols. The Salvador Dali-inspired restaurant is a surreal delight located in the Spīķeri -- a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Designed by Latvian interior design studio Annvil, the eatery has an industrial aesthetic to it because it occupies a space that used to be a warehouse, which gives the space an artistic and eclectic vibe that fits perfectly with what Dali was all about. Fusing Dali’s surrealism and imaginative style to the interior decorations and furniture, the mostly blue and gold -- Dali’s preferred colors -- eatery is enchanting.
