Luxury restaurant interior design
These are luxury restaurant design ideas. And we will use several examples to present interior design materials for luxury restaurant design, which you can buy from us. And so you will see many images of luxury restaurants on this website and those all are creations of expert interior designers, who used our offer as an inspiration for their ideas. And so the interior design concepts are inspired by the acrylic glass panels that we offer. And you will see, that in many of the restaurant design ideas the illumination of our material plays an important role, as it creates a great ambiance for the rooms. And therefore if you wonder what makes a great restaurant design, then interior design definitely is a part of it. And often you will hear the question of what are the five key areas when creating a restaurant. After we showed our panels which you can use for your restaurant layout, we will later on speak about the most important aspects of restaurants in general. Because design is not the most important aspect of a restaurant, it is the food.
Exciting restaurant bar interior design
This magnificent restaurant interior design is impressive restaurant design. Because it is lovely and it uses our design tiles. It is shown in the example images, with its fiery bar. So this is a restaurant design idea, that was built with the CANCELLO COPPER. And the design idea that follows uses the same material to create the ambience for the restaurant. And as usual they both use LED lights built in on the top and on the lower part of the material, in order to light the restaurant bar front. And this then creates the flame like impression for these restaurant ideas, as the copper from the metal tissue inside the panel reflects the light in this spectacular way. Also, you can see the reflexive properties of the material on the images. As in the image with the barkeeper, you can see, how the room and the exterior is mirrored in the panel, which covers the bar. This nicely blends the design tile in into the surroundings. Also notice about the tables with their marble material, how they somewhat match the pattern of the bar. Also, worth noticing is the difference of the chairs, because the use of different elements of the same type is clearly a postmodern idea of this design. While yet another design idea is the use of a mirror as a ceiling cladding, which starts right at the pink light bar, creating the illusion of a higher ceiling height. This classic design idea makes the space appear larger and more open. And the idea to use a pink light, which seams the upper corner of the ceiling, gives a cozy and warm, but also a subtly futuristic effect.
More restaurant design ideas of this example restaurant
So we have seen, that this amazing restaurant interior design uses awesome ideas, which are visible in the image. As the image shows, the restaurant of our first example. The ideas used in this design concept create a warm and welcoming ambience. The color pattern of this restaurant is made of reddish colors. And the light that is emitted from our panel does its part in the comfy feeling created for the visitor in this concept. But there is yet another idea in this restaurant, which is, that the chairs remind of a safari lounge. So that the furniture altogether gives a slightly African flair. While the parquet floor nicely supports this natural ambience. The next interesting idea is the pink monochrome image, which is attached to the restaurant wall. Because it gives a modern flair to the room, which contrasts with the design idea of using rather vintage furniture. Which means, that we have two contrasting ideas combined in one restaurant design. As the restaurant chairs are not too modern, while the wallpaper is. And even though the wallpaper blends in with the light strip, which seams the ceiling, it does not match the natural style of the chairs. And the result of this playful use of not classically matching design ideas creates a postmodern design concept, which we will talk about more in the next chapter. So the guests should enjoy a drink in these settings. But those are not all the ideas you can do with our design tiles. Therefor, you will find more design ideas in the images below, which show more restaurant examples. Because we picked some of the best restaurant designs and present them on this website. So look around.
Postmodern interior design style
This restaurant interior design is postmodern. Because the wall shows a depiction in the stile of a seventies’ poster, with a purple depiction of a face. And this idea recurs on a modern but not contemporary style. But more than this: it is indicative of a European style. With that it must contrast with the idea of the African conception of the furniture with its low lounge chairs. And every time styles contrast, we see a typically postmodern idea. As the postmodern itself often plays with the awareness of artistic styles. Also of course the bar material creates a postmodern style. As this art movement is about the emancipation of the material itself. And so the eye catching bar front is a statement in itself. And being this, it draws attention to itself. Like the famous postmodern performance of the two pillars. So this is a transitional interior design, as it combines old and new design ideas. While the floor lamp is also of an older design. And every time ideas are notably mixed, so that the impression comes up that the interior designer deliberately uses ideas of styles or materials however it pleases the interior designer, and they are used just as a painter would use different colors: This is an indication of postmodernism. And the parquet flooring might match the furniture, but it does not match the purple image. And also the restaurant chairs might match each other but yet they have many different chair cushions. And working with combining on a level that it becomes noticeable is indicative of this design style.

Are these tiles illuminated? [CLICK]
In these restaurant ideas the interior designers illuminated the tiles. They have lights installed sideways to the panels. The products are not illuminated by themselves. But they can be used for such ideas
Restaurant design materials
This is the next example restaurant with a new set of design ideas. And this splendid restaurant interior design of course also uses our fabulous design tiles, because this is what this website is about. And just as the previous restaurant example, this room designs also uses the CANCELLO COPPER. And by now you know that this is the glowing panel at the restaurant bar behind the chairs. But this restaurant comes up with another typical idea to use our material. Therefor, behind the restaurant bar there is a rack with the glasses, which also uses the glowing panels as a backdrop. So the idea, which dominates this restaurant concept, is the lit bar material. Because its glow fills the room interior and makes up the ambient. While the lamps and candles were kept according to the colors of the bar. And you can see the matching colors in the images. And now also the other design ideas of this interior are linked to the illuminated tile that we sold to the interior designer. Therefor, the rest of the restaurant is carried out in dark wood, and the stone floor also is of a dark color. Because, with the idea to keep the interior in these dark tones, the glowing of the bar material becomes predominant. Therefor, this interior uses the design tile as the focal point of the restaurant. And also the restaurant example, which we had before, was doing this a bit. But it had much more fancy restaurant chairs. Therefor the attention was decided between the bar and the furniture. While in this example, the furnishings are simple, because neither the tables nor the chairs are of a fancy design. And additionally they are dark. And so in the dim lighting they do not call for attention too much. That makes our restaurant design material visually more prominent. And as in the example before, also in this restaurant the materials have a nice reflection additional to their glow. Therefor, whatever interior there is, it will be mirrored inside the material. And this also makes the panels in this example blend in into the interior design.
Do the ideas suit modern restaurant design?
Restaurant interior design ideas can be modern. But what can we see in the images of this restaurant? We see, that this restaurant is design using rather rural ideas and design styles, by using materials like the dark wood, which are not modern in their expression. Because the large dark wood planks are too close to a natural look in order to create an ultra modern feel to this room. And also the design of the restaurant ceiling lamps reminds of a somewhat old Asian style. And therefor those two design ideas of using large wooden planks and old-fashioned lamps seemingly prevent the interior design from looking contemporary. While opposite to that the idea of using illuminated tiles as a backdrop for the glasses, of course, is present day design. Ultimately because the concept of illumination is a contemporary idea in itself. And the idea that was used with the round shapes of the other ceiling lamps is even a futuristic one. Therefor, this restaurant design is like the one we saw before, because in it also an element of the postmodern comes into play. Because it uses mixed styles and ideas from different areas. While the clear-cut smooth wood surfaces already contain ideas that are modern and also traditional. And the restaurant wardrobe is reminiscent of a modern sculpture. So the design ideas used in this concept place the interior between a contemporary and a slightly older look. Therefor, they create a transitional interior design.

Another restaurant design example
This is the next restaurant interior design example, shown in images. Because the purpose of this website is to show our interior design ideas, which you can use for your restaurant designs. As we sell these products, that you see in the design examples to interior designer. But not only Interior designers can make use of our offer, because also Architects worldwide like to work with our panels, in order to create luxury interior design for their clients. So the examples show the magnificent range of ideas, that we offer for your company. And you can find all our ideas under MATERIAL above, where we have a catalog of what we supply. This example shows a delightful restaurant design, which is in Germany. And because it is an upper class restaurant, the designer wanted to create a luxury interior. So they chose to use one of our ideas, which is the DUNE ORO. But apart from that we find a lot of other ideas: For example that the interior design draws on heavy wooden plates. And so in the restaurant design images you can not only see wood being casually used like in other restaurant designs, but in one image you can see the large cracks in the wood. And that is the idea of specifically using wood in a form that seems very natural. Therefor the heavy wooden plates on the restaurant tables show cracks making clear, that this is a specific idea of using wood. And you find the same natural characteristics also in the woods which are used on the restaurant floor, which is covered with parquet and the bar top. This gives a good impression of the rural style that is aimed for here. So this restaurant interior design example is of a traditional style. Yet you can see how well the design tile, which we offered, fits in with the interior concept. While the wall decoration uses the same material as the bar. So the material palette mixes our panel with white and wood. While the interior design tile is not the same that is on the hotel design example image from Italy. So both those restaurants use different materials from our catalog. While this is the only image we have from the DUNE ORO being used in an interior design, the CANCELLO COPPER sees a lot of use. Therefor if you go to the hotel design images on this website you can see it in a hotel. The high class of this restaurant you can already guess if you see the image. Because it shows the glasses being placed flat on the plates, which is an idea to mark a place as a luxury restaurant. Because this arrangement of the tableware speaks of a high esteem.

The best restaurant design idea is the food
When a luxury restaurant design is to be created, you might wonder how to do this. What makes a restaurant luxury? This question finds a lot of answers, but the part which we contribute to luxurious design is a special material for restaurants. And this material is then combined with the other features, which make a restaurant luxury, like the decor and the furniture. Luxury restaurant designers will try to create an awesome atmosphere for the room. While some designers think, that a fireplace is a great way to achieve this. And if this was the description of a luxury restaurant, then you would are on the right website. Because fine dining restaurants can create a great atmosphere with us. Because our panels are an elegant decor, which can produce a second source of soft lighting. Therefore, interior designers are able to create an intimate interior with them. In order to further enhance the feeling of the room, some suggest using the right music. While another interior design idea for a luxury restaurant is to set the tables further apart from each other, compared to lower class restaurants, to achieve an effect of privacy for the well off visitors. A fancy restaurantlike this is then called a fine dining restaurant. Such establishments often use higher-class materials. And some also have a dress code, meaning that a certain type of clothing is expected from the guests. The prices of our products depend to a large degree on how far we have to send them from Europe to your building site. But how much does it cost to design a restaurant? A restaurant interior design is usually measured in cost per square meter. The costs can range between 26 and 152 dollars per sq m. With this calculation of course a luxury interior design for a restaurant is at the higher end of that scale. So there is a high price range in this sector. But the interior design is usually only play a minor role when giving out the Michelin Stars. But what makes a restaurant 5-star? Well at first the scale of stars for a restaurant only go up to 3 other than the scale for luxury hotels, which goes up to 5. Therefore, technically, nothing makes a restaurant 5-Star. And when the very luxurious Burj Al Arab hotel with its Al Iwan restaurant calls itself the “the world’s only 7-star hotel” then this is playing with the fact, that actually only 5 stars are possible. But apart from that, there are 4 factors used in order to determine the quality of a restaurant, which are chef, ingredients, menu and experience. While the experience factor evaluates the interior design, the music, the service, just anything that creates the feeling of the guests. While the other 3 parts of this system of restaurant evaluation have nothing to do with the interior design at all, and instead focus the view onto the food. And when you think about it such a classification absolutely makes sense for an establishment which’s foremost task is serving meals. So in this regard, the chef is considered an artist. His dedication to the meals is one of the integral parts of the performance of a restaurant. Then we have the ingredients as being the raw materials of the dishes. And finally, we have the menu, which so to say is a list of the dishes served. And because a luxury restaurant is to 75 % about the food and not about the interior design, we added a section at the end of this page, which talks a bit more about restaurants with special menus. And you can find some inspiration there with looking at some places and the special foods they offer. And you will find, that the most famous restaurants in the world do not even serve the most expensive dishes. As the most expensive dishes in the world are things like: Kobe Beef, Almas Caviar or Black truffle. But you will find, that the most famous restaurants on the planet, which we list below, are rather about making a special dish best than making the best dish. So for example we show how a restaurant in Italy came to a high renown creating a great pizza, or how a restaurant in Africa is famous for only serving food from ingredients, which they find in the surrounding nature. And so it does not have to be Grand Velas Tacos which cost 25,000 dollars, which are needed for a luxury restaurant. And if you wonder, if they put gold into that expensive taco in Frida’s Restaurant, then the answer is: yes they do. Which is not to say that a hamburger can not be expensive. Because when talking about the most expensive foods, there is hamburger which costs more than 5000 dollars, which uses ingredients like caviar. But that is not the most expensive meal in the world, as the chocolate pudding at Lindeth Howe Country House costs 35000 dollars. So those menu items can really be considered rich people’s food. But those food prices are especially expensive, as a meal in Dubai does cost far less. So, even in a fine dining restaurant there, you would only pay about 136 Dollar per person. Another topic we touch on in the final section of this website, is: how to behave in a luxury restaurant? And there will be some talk in a video about general fine dining etiquette. While some of the behavioral rules that apply for luxury restaurants are making light conversation with the other guest. Also, you might be expected to leave the rim of your plate clean. Furthermore, in very fine places you leave the tableware on the dish after the course, so that it can be taken away by the personnel when cleaning the tables. Another word for gourmet food can be haute cuisine or upscale dining. While the term bougie restaurant means something else. This term, which was derived in the 70ies from the word bourgeois, rather mocks a restaurant as being not really fine dining. As the bourgeois were often thought of as being pretentious, as they by definition have more money than the poor, but less than the rich. While the word Bou-jee, which is used in hip-hop music, is not an insult. In this context, boujee refers to a rich person, while giving them credit and respect. Personell for luxury restaurants is often special trained. So, you might wonder: hat is a waiter called in a fancy restaurant? And in terms of the people running the place looking for employees, those members of the crew are called silver service staff. As those workers know the necessary guidelines and protocols which have to be followed by the service staff of a haute couture restaurant. So when you ask: why do waiters put their arm behind their back, then this can be part of such a special training. And they keep their arms behind their back in order not to accidentally touch the guests while serving. While such staff is usually dressed in black and white. As for the terms the guests use to refer to waiters in an expensive place, the term waiter should still apply. This will usually be accepted, but if you want to be completely safe, when addressing the waitstaff in a really expensive location you can say “maî·tre d’hô·tel” or just maître when you call them. This then means master, opposite to the meaning for waiter, which is servant. While a special wine-expert-waiter is called a sommelier. With these considerations, you will be able to understand a luxury restaurant design, which applies to the according guests. But what is a restaurant connoisseur called? Another word for such a person would be gourmet or gourmand, which describes a person with an interest in eating good food.
So far, we talked about restaurant design ideas. But now we will talk about other ideas for restaurants. Because ultimately, restaurants are about the food which is served. And so we looked at the most famous restaurants in the world, to discover, that it is rarely the design, which makes them famous. But actually in most famous restaurants it is the food, which makes them special. As they might present a local food, but in its best version. Or they may offer dishes which are new and modern, in order to get the recognition they wish for. So ultimately it is a bit like with music, which is about how it sounds and not the cover of the record.
And so we made a collection for you, in which we visit the most famous restaurants in the world answering the question, which ideas make those restaurants so famous. But first we start with a little idea every restaurant can easily apply in order to make their coffee or hot chocolate look much cooler. Actually it is an idea about food design, in which a little template is used, in order to design your beverages. While this template could be your restaurant logo, which would go a long way, in order to create the impression of you having a classy dining room. While the example used in the video is to imprint the word love on the coffee, which is not as effective in creating a luxury atmosphere for your diner as your logo would. In the video an acrylic glass form is used, but you can easily create a form of your favorite design simply by printing it on strong paper and then cutting it out. You will find some more ideas of food design in the other restaurants, that we talk about here.
This idea is simple but very effective. And even though you can recreate it, using a piece of cardboard with your logo printed on it, you could also find a friend, who does laser cutting.
And there is another design idea that we found, when looking at iconic restaurants. And it has to do with your tableware. And this other idea is to have a few cups printed with your restaurant logo. Because nowadays, you can easily print an image of that kind on a few cups without the cost being very high. But even though it as not expensive, this design idea might give your restaurant a great luxury look. While tableware in general is a topic to think about, when looking at restaurant design. Therefor, keep an eye on the dishes and the tableware in the following videos.
Which ideas drive famous iconic restaurants
Some restaurants are really iconic and famous. And we were searching for ideas for a great restaurant design. Therefor, we looked at, which ideas famous restaurants came up with. And we came to understand, that more often than not it is not about the restaurant design, when a place becomes famous. As mostly actually, it is about the food that is offered in the restaurant, that sets the iconic restaurant apart from the everyday diner. But it is not only, that dishes served have to be five-star menus, prepared by great cooks. But instead, often it is that the dishes have an integration into a topical field. And we will learn more about this idea right in the next video about the Wolfgat.
Wolfgat restaurant
There is a restaurant in Africa called Wolfgat, which is in a small village called Paternoster. And it is not its interior design ideas that make it famous. While of course the interior of this famous restaurant is nice, yet, the idea that makes it remarkable is the concept of what food they offer. And this concept is, that the food, which is used, is collected from the nature of South Africa. So they walk around and collect the food, which they then prepare. And with this idea they create a theme which gives the guests a feeling of experiencing something special, when they eat there. While also the food ingredients, which are collected, are indigenous to the specific area, in which the Wolfgat restaurant is. Therefor, additionally to the ingredients being collected they are also Native to the region, which makes the experience the more special. While another idea for the Wolfgat was to serve the meals as events, for a relatively small group of about 20 to 24 people. Therefor you come to the restaurant at a certain time and then the same meal is served for everyone, which even more makes eating at this restaurant special, as only about 24 people can experience it per day. While the naturally found ingredients do not allow for a bigger number of daily guest. So you can see the whole idea of this restaurant points at creating that special experience. The Wolfgat won the award restaurant of the year 2019.
Even though they serve lamb, and so kill animal kids, which is something we do not support, yet their concept may inspire your project.
Ichiran Shibuya restaurant
In Tokio in Japan there is a restaurant called Ichiran Shibuya, which serves this specific Japanese noodle soup called ramen. And ramen is a very trendy food at the moment. While this restaurant is said to serve the world’s best ramen. So we see another example of a restaurant which has become icon for the food they serve, while this time it is about the quality of the food. Therefor, this places is probably not famous because of its restaurant design. Yet you will see, it has quite a unique restaurant design concept. The process of ordering and serving the dishes is strange to European eyes, as one of the ideas of this restaurant is to provide it with very little personal contact between the staff and the guests. As a European, I can only guess, that this is an expression of respect, by leaving the guests private space in which they are not “disturbed” by attention of the personnel. Whereas in the western world, this service would seem oddly distanced. So you will find the ideas, which are used in terms of restaurant design and service, quite unique in the Ichiran Shibuya. And even though from some viewpoint it might look like a cheap fast food restaurant, it is indeed a rather expensive one.
L’Antica Pizzeria da Michele
In Naples in Italy is the restaurant L’Antica Pizzeria da Michele. And this pizzeria was opened in 1906. While Napoli’s locals claim that there you get the best pizza in the city. Therefor we have another restaurant here which became iconic for serving the best dish of its category. So again as in the example we saw before the renown of this pizzeria, is not about the restaurant design ideas, but about serving the specific local cuisine in its best version.
Therefor, we will not look at this restaurants’ interior design. But instead we will look at the recipe of the pizza that is served in the L’Antica Pizzaria de Michele. Because by this, we can understand, how the passion for food that is displayed here is a driving factor in popular restaurants. In this restaurant example, one of the chefs will explain how they make Pizzas, including the recipe. And you will notice how it is their approach to the food, which they serve, which makes this restaurant special. And also we get a nice pizza recipe.
- Flour 1 kg (2.2 pounds)
- Water 500 ml (16.9 fl oz)
- Salt 30 g (1.058 oz)
- Yeast 5 g (0.176 oz)
- Leave for 12 hours
- If necessary add some water while kneading
For the Margerita they use tomatoes of Campania, Fior di Latte di Agerola, which is a mozzarella type cheese, Roman Pecorino and seed oil. But the Pizza Marinara instead is made with tomatoes, garlic, oregano and seed oil. And then the Pizza is baked in the wood oven at 500 degrees Celsius for just 40 seconds. Which of course we can not do at home.
Please turn on English subtitles because the video is in Italian.
Oaxen Krog and its food design
In Stockholm there is the Oaxen Krog restaurant. Which is a very iconic restaurant. And again, the ideas used to make this restaurant famous are not about the interior design. Instead, just like in the other diners we saw before, it is the dishes, which they serve, that set them apart from the competition. Because they serve very special meals for their guests. And once more the ideas, which make a restaurant famous are about the food design. So we will watch a video from YouTube about the preparation of a dish in the Oaxen Krog. Because we see two ideas about design here. First, there is design in the arrangement of the food on the plate. And also there is design in the special methods of cooking used. So this place in Sweden serves as an example of which ideas can help a restaurant. As more and more, we start to notice, that ideas about cooking are what drives the best restaurants in the world.
This place in sweden has a website:
Noma Restaurant
In Copenhagen in Denmark there is a restaurant called Noma, and we will look at the design ideas they have. Because the Noma was voted one of the best restaurants in the world many times. While it now has an interior design, which is of a northern European style, again this is not what makes this place an award winner. And again, the ideas which make the difference have to do with the cooking. Therefor, in this example again, we are not looking at the interior. Instead, we are looking more at food design ideas the guests can experience there. And in this case the ideas are actually partly about the visual design of the dishes. As for example, there is a cake, which looks like a flower pot. But there is more to the fame of the restaurant, than just one fancy looking cake. By now, the place has moved to a different location in Copenhagen. And they offer different dishes in the course of the year. While also, as we saw in many of the other example also here, Chef Rene Redzepi likes to build meals using seasonal ingredients from the Nordic area. And the style of the meals, which they prepare, now is called New Nordic Cuisine. And the Noma now has 2 Michelin Stars for the kitchen it offers. Which, once more, clearly shows, that the best restaurant idea is to offer remarkable food. As the serving of things to eat is the main purpose of these places. Therefor, any eatery who wishes to raise into the Olympus of diners better have this idea on top of their list. But yet Rene Redzepi puts in an interesting way, when he says: that if you have high esteem as your only goal, you will not make it far in this industry. Because this business is about dedication.
Another idea the Noma uses, is to make the menus seasonal, being vegetable based in the summer, seafood based in the winter and meat based in the fall. Because the staff hoped, that this idea would encourage the guests, to visit the restaurant more often.
But let us yet talk about the interior design of the Moma. As you can see, it features the idea of at least one long table for the guests to sit at. And if we assume, that many times it is not a group of visitors placed at that table we see that, other than in many other restaurants, the guests are formed to a community when eating. So the design idea of having this long table is remarkable.
Mirazur restaurant
Let’s look at the Mirazur restaurant and the design ideas it uses. And also in this diner in Menton in France it is about the food design ideas and not about the interior. Because if there is a reason connected to the physical place, which makes this restaurant so well esteemed, then it would be the exterior. As the Mirazur has five gardens around it, which provide this eatery with fresh food. And the Chef of the Mirazur Mauro Colagreco had the idea for the restaurant to remove the menu completely. Because he says that with this idea they are able to change the dishes day by day. Because he uses to say, that at the Mirazur they don’t have four seasons, but rather 365 seasons a year. And so in this video we see Mauro go to the Port of Garavan to buy the fish, that were fished that day, of a fisherman he calls Lionel. The Mirazur offers dishes well-designed with their own ingredients, which include things like oranges, as the location of the restaurant is in France. One of the dishes of the day seen in this presentation comes designed with a lot of flowers.
La Banquise Restaurant
In Montreal in Canada, we find the famous La Banquise. And La Banquise is a snack bar or fast food restaurant, which serves a special dish: The Poutine. While this dish is basically french fries mixed with other things. And it is said that this Montreal restaurant prepare the best Poutine in Canada. So it is another example of a place not being famous for its restaurant design. But other than the examples we saw before, this restaurant does not serve fancy, high class food. Because actually it serves fast food. But nevertheless, this restaurant is often mentioned as one of the most iconic restaurants in the world. So why can fast food gain this much recognition? Well because fast food is part of our culture no less than fancy high class dishes, which come with a lot of Michelin stars. But yet, in order to achieve fame, you have to prepare even a simple dish in a high class way. As with this Poutine, which is said to be the best version of this classic Canadian national dish.
So there is basically no idea behind this restaurant. Instead, there is just dedication and creating really tasty meals.
White Rabbit restaurant design
In Moscow, you find the White Rabbit restaurant. And the White Rabbit restaurant design is really extraordinary. Because it is on top of a building in Moscow, and its walls are made from glass. Therefor, it has a nice view over the city. So in this case a great idea used for this restaurant is indeed its building, which combines with a location, which is very special. But yet the advertising video of the restaurant does not show the panoramic view for the length of the video, but instead it shows food being prepared. And the preparation of dishes is shown over and over in this presentation, conveying an idea of the owners’ attitude to the dishes as being the focus point of this establishment. So again it is probably the food supervised by head chef Vladimir Mukhin that makes the difference.
Ithaa restaurant
At the Conrad Maldives Rangali Island Resort is the Ithaa restaurant. And it is located in the Alif Dhaal Atoll. And the idea that makes this restaurant design famous is its placement, because it is underwater. And so this restaurant is famous not because of its interior design, but instead because of its architecture. We may assume that this diner would attract guests even if the food was not the best. But also we may assume that they will not serve bad food in a restaurant, that probably was pricey to build. And definitely we can say that this ranges under the more spectacular restaurant design ideas.
