10 Most Bizarre Restaurants Around The World

4. Laino Snow Village Ice Restaurant, Ylläsjärvi, Finland

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbugERkqI_Q IKEA meets igloo. Just north of the Arctic Circle the winters are cold enough to sustain Snow Village's Ice Restaurant for the season. Inside the 200-square-meter all-natural ice structure, diners sit on solid-ice chairs at solid-ice tables while sampling local fare. Because it would be impossible to keep any food warm, the restaurant only serves cold meals; like cream of Lappish potato soup with cold smoked salmon, tender reindeer, and game meatballs served with - what else? - vodka-lingonberry jelly. There is no set dress code, but trust me... arriving in anything less than a full snow suit is probably not a good idea, a frostbitten backside is not going to be conducive to an enjoyable dining experience. The Laino Snow Village Ice restaurant changes every year. That is because it's built from the ground up with snow and ice every winter, then everything melts when the weather warms up in spring every year! Meals cost between 30 ($42) and 50 ($70) per person. The snow village also offers a snow hotel, snow cabins and ice chapels for weddings with all interior decorations made out of ice and snow.
