8 Unique Restaurants Built Over, or Under, the Water

No man is an island, but that doesn’t mean you can’t eat on one. At least that’s the case during high tide, if you happen to be lunching at The Rock, a restaurant that becomes an island each day when the waters rise, leaving diners with ocean views in all directions.

Fact: The vast majority of the world’s restaurants’ occupy just 29 percent of the earth’s surface (the part that is land). But whether they give diners the same view as eels and shrimp, or put them within spray distance of a powerful waterfall, these eight restaurants creatively occupy the other 71 percent of the world’s real estate.
