If you thought tearing into a blooming onion was an adventure, you're about to be blown away. These off-the-beaten-path restaurant themes are so wild and Instagram-worthy, they might just have you suddenly planning an entire trip around them. And hey, if you're brave enough to order strange fast food offerings, then we have a feeling once you're done reading through these dining venues, they're going to fly to the top of your must-visit list. Here's our breakdown of the wackiest and weirdest restaurants from around the world that are so worth the trip.
# Modern Toilet, Taipei, Taiwan
Normally, your goal while eating out is to avoid spending the night in the bathroom. Not so at Modern Toilet, where you're basically eating in a giant restroom. You'll even sit on a porcelain throne and dine over a sink turned into a table. It's not for the squeamish—food and drink arrive in everything from urinal glasses to toilet bowls. You'll be relieved (ahem) to learn that the serving dishes are merely replicas of bathroom items, not previously used plumbing fixtures.
# Heart Attack Grill, Las Vegas, Nevada
Gamble with your life at this Las Vegas restaurant. The Heart Attack Grill has been connected to two actual heart-attack-related deaths since it opened—which is not surprising, since the restaurant's signature dish is a three-pound, 9,982-calorie burger. When you arrive, you'll be given a hospital gown to wear as a makeshift bib for your meal. Better not order that big burger if you're not fully committed you'll be spanked with a large paddle if you donât finish. Drinks adhere to the medical theme, including shots served in syringes and wine served from IV bags. The good news? If you weigh more than 350 pounds, you can eat for free!
# Ninja New York, New York
Tired of boring waiters who merely deliver your food? Head to Ninja New York, where a team of "ninjas" will cater to your every need. This dark, underground restaurant is spread over 6,000 square feet, so the ninjas will have plenty of places to hide (and surprise you when you least expect it). Sure, Ninja doesn't get the best reviews—but we suggest you donât mention that to the trained assassins who deliver your food.
# Dans Le Noir, London, England
How much does sight actually affect taste? Find out at Dans Le Noire, where you will eat in complete darkness. You won't find out what you're eating until the end of the meal (though the kitchen will cater to your dietary requirements and allergies). You'll be guided and served throughout the meal by an entirely blind staff.
# The Airplane Restaurant, Colorado Springs, Colorado
Airplanes are typically places where you tolerate the food, not devour it. Unless you're talking about the The Airplane Restaurant in Colorado Springs, that is. Housed inside an old Boeing KC-97, this plane serves up first-class lunch and dinner (and you're permitted to use metal utensils instead of plastic).
# Fritz's Railroad Restaurant, Multiple Locations, Kansas and Missouri
Hate interacting with waiters? Why not have your food delivered to you via train instead? At Fritz's Railroad Restaurant, you order your food by phone. Your food then arrives in a toy train delivery car.
