Eating under the Red Sea? Yes
A 30-meter pier leads to an elevator that plunges diners into the depths of a sea that surrounds a room created and decorated in red and orange tones, a design by Ayala Serfaty from Tel-Aviv.
The chairs and lamps are shaped like jellyfish, the floor (a trompe l'oeil) makes us feel like we're walking on the sand at the bottom of the sea and the he 62 windows that surround the room offer the best view of the Red Sea . As one scans the menu, with some misgivings about ordering back and forth what his eyes are seeing, he discovers that the restaurant is surrounded by a beautiful barrier reef.
The place has its history, because not content with creating the first and most exclusive restaurant at the bottom of the sea, the creators decided transport part of the Red Sea barrier reef to surrounding space , they rebuilt it with care and today it lives for the pleasure of the 105 privileged diners who can sit at the table of the The Red Sea Star .
Perhaps the least interesting thing in this place is what you eat, but after all, here you come to taste international cuisine, with dishes devised by the chef Oscar Linden , which does not hesitate to suggest some of the pieces that diners see swimming placidly around the restaurant. Who dares to eat the little fish with the table you share? After dinner, the bet dives five more meters under the water. At those 10 meters of depth is the dance room and the perfect place to have a drink to the rhythm of the sixties.

Others have joined this trend of eating underwater, such as the Ithaa restaurant at the ** Milton Hotel on Rangali Island in the Maldives **. Only 14 diners can put on the diving suit to go down five meters and share a table surrounded by the waters of the Indian Ocean. The glass ceiling allows you to see the marine fauna moving from one side of the restaurant tables to the other and the menu suggests local cuisine. As a great surprise, the restaurant's cellar invites you to live that special moment with the best wines in the world. For those who dare to continue living disparate experiences underwater, the hotel has rooms under the sea where you can at least have deep dreams. Also in the Maldives is the Anantara Kihavah Villas underwater restaurant , one of the attractions of a resort made up of 78 villas (40 of them over the sea and 34 on the beach, all of them with more than 250 square meters) in which every detail is designed to arouse sighs of admiration.
