You have to scuba dive to dinner at this underwater restaurant in Brussels
ByReporter
We’re gonna go out on a limb here and say you’ve probably never eaten dinner in a swimming pool before.
But that could soon change – if you head along to a restaurant in Brussels,
called the Pearl.
The tiny eatery is located five metres below the surface of a pool inside the
Nemo33 diving centre.
But there’s a catch (or two). The restaurant can only seat four people, and you
have to have a diving diploma to visit.
If you do dine and dive, you can expect a pretty snazzy experience once you’re
down there – we’re talking waiters in wetsuits, and a treat yourself-menu of
lobster, champagne and foie gras, for £84.
You don’t actually have to wear your air tank – or any scuba gear for that
matter – while eating either, because the golf-ball shaped eatery is supplied
with oxygen and is air tight. So there’s no chance of your food getting soggy,
don’t worry.
And the cabin also has several windows to look out of, for tranquil
views of the surrounding water.
If you’re not a keen scuba diver, Nemo33 also has a restaurant above water
serving Thai food. And it’s great for watching the diving from afar – it
features seven windows that look into the dive centre’s pools.
