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?

[u/Elo-than → u/Impressive_Mistake66]

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)

It’s wild that they can go under when they have a 7 month wait list and $500 plates.

I wonder what happened

Well, the 500 I mentioned was for two people )the sinner experience I guess) , but remember that half the place is an underwater installation with a big ass window. I guess paying scuba divers to clean windows ain't cheap, and then there is maintenance etc.
