Awe-worthy dining experiences look different around the world, but it isn't just region or culture that set the most innovative restaurants apart from the rest. In order to make this list, the establishments had to be really unique. The world has some pretty crazy restaurants, and narrowing it down to a top 10 list was extremely difficult. After sifting through the most astonishing dining experiences featured on Trendhunter.com, I couldn't possibly narrow it down to less than 25. So here they are, the articles that stood out most.
Bon Appetit!
