No ordinary place to eat!

No ordinary place to eat!

The first underwater restaurant in the world? It sounds like nonsense but it's true. Welcome to the "pearl"in the Maledives. You necessarily have to eat there before your death.

  The Ithaa Undersea Restaurant on Rangali Island sits five metres below the Indian Ocean. It's easy to get to the restaurant. The visit will be a special experience for people who have never dived before. Guests don't need to be swimmer or scuba diver, but they do have to wear formal clothes. Everything here is magical. Even the entrance. The first guests are led across a wooden jetty and then they simply descend to the restaurant down some spiral stairs.

  I suppose the best in this restaurant are the amazing views.  The huge ceiling and walls are made of acrylic glass, so you can admire the underwater life. The restaurant  is surrounded by a coral reef. You can also see a lot of creatures. A few metres from your head there are turtles, sharks and thousand of tropical fish looking at you as you eat.

  You can not forget about the delicious food. There they offer the six-courses or the four-course dinner set-menu. You can order maldivian lobster carpaccio, reef fish tartare, poached quail egg and mid-morning cocktails. And something for desert: white chocolate praline, salty caramel sable, sweet carrot sorbet. Yummy...

  If you want to more excitement and would like to sleep underwater with the fish, you can do this for just 10,000$ at night. In 2010 it also became a hotel.

  There is just one problem, it's not cheap(about 200$ for lunch) and there are only 14 seats, so it's not easy to get a reservation even you've got enough money.

  If you are planning a visit to the Maldives, then definitely do this amazing place. You have to hurry, because the durability of a weighing 175 tons of construction is estimated at about 20 years.
