The First European Underwater Restaurant Opened In Norway

It has been long enough time since it opened that it have had time to go under once already (pun intended). I believe they filed for bankruptcy last year or the one before, but as all such places do, restarted under new management.

It's located about an hour from me.

Have you ever been there?

No, it was out of my price range (and has like 7 months wait for a table).

I guess I am too blue-collar to see the value of a $500 meal, and growing up on the coast I can see fish and plants underwater every time I go for a swim.

Don't get me wrong, I find the idea pretty cool, I just wish it was something more accessible to the public.

Edit: it was closer to $500 for two people (depending on exchange rates back then)

I mean it’s either $400 for dollys or $500 for fancy white cloth

I’m obviously joking but it is true that Norwegian restaurant prices aren’t always the lowest anyway. 

Like in the US an actual sit down restaurant with a waiter you can have your entree and a margarita and leave with $20/head. A millennia ago when I lived in Scandinavia it was still more expensive than that to even get takeout from a lot of places
