Standard restaurant romance, backed by the traditional three-course set, not satisfying? Then it’s time to visit an establishment that provides a unique experience. There are plenty of those in Europe, but here are five of the most “strong” in such a skill set.

1. Dans Le Noir, London, UK

The place offers culinary delights in a somewhat unusual atmosphere. The food is served in complete darkness. There is a choice of coloured culinary categories depending on the base product – meat, fish, vegetarian cuisine. By the way, there is a “surprise” menu.

The idea of immersing guests in the dark is explained by the fact that in this way one can fully enjoy the flavour of a dish and appreciate its aroma. The rule “eat with your eyes first” doesn’t work here. Only the sense of smell and the taste buds are responsible.

2. Solo Per Due, Rieti, Italy

For the ultimate in intimacy, the tiny Solo Per Due welcomes just one couple at a time. Two guests will find themselves in a particular environment depending on the season. In summer you can find yourself in the jungle, while in winter you can sit by the warming fire.

As an added bonus, the restaurant is located in a 19th century building, preserving its original form as much as possible. There is cosy plush furniture, fantastic chandeliers and other original decorative elements. There are seasonal delicacies to enjoy.

3. ‘s Baggers’, Nuremberg, Germany

The concept at “‘s Baggers” is very original and involves automated waiters. Thanks to the touch-screens, guests are not only offered a choice of flavours, but they can also control their wait time. The food is served on metal rails. The high construction guides the plates with the orders straight to the guests.

The interior design is interesting, without a lot of unnecessary details. The restaurant is located in the premises, which used to serve as a warehouse. The modernized style of the loft adds charm to the restaurant.

4. Hospitalis, Riga, Latvia

Fans of the medical theme will appreciate the original approach to dining that Riga’s Hospitalis practices. Apart from the fact that the delicious food will make the digestive system healthier, and decent drinks will help with mental health recovery, the atmosphere will also please.

Guests are invited to take a seat in the dentist’s chair, appreciate a cocktail from a test tube, and enjoy the sight of waiters dressed in medical uniforms. It is worth noting that the establishment can have a positive effect on those with a fear of hospitals.

5. Le Restophone, Montpellier, France

For the particularly outgoing or those who simply miss interacting with others and engaging conversations, the French “Le Restophone” may well appeal. The concept is very simple: each table is assigned a personal telephone, which acts as a link between all the other tables in the restaurant. In this way, visitors can get acquainted, socialise or just have fun.

Naturally, the restaurant also offers delicious dishes and the drinks are really heavenly. There are classic cocktails as well as author’s delights that will make your taste buds sing with joy.
