This is set to become the world's largest underwater restaurant. Under - in the south of Norway - features a rectangular 'periscope' made of concrete, down which diners will travel five-and-half metres below sea level to eat and drink. An eleven metre-long and three-and-a-half metre-tall panoramic window gives guests a close-up view of marine life which the designers say is "produced to withstand the fierce underwater conditions and enormous water-pressure", with concrete walls that are one metre-thick. The eatery, in the village of Baly in Lindesnes, will seat up to 100 guests and bookings will be made available up to six months in advance. “Our goal is to become one of the most unique experiences in the world; combining cutting edge marine biology, never before seen architecture and an unparalleled gastronomic experience. It is a tough goal, but then again, it is quite exotic to enjoy an unforgettable dining experience five and a half meters below sea level”, said founder and co-owner Gaute Ubostad. The submerged periscope 'monolith' will become an artificial mussel reef over time, it is predicted. The three-level restaurant was designed in collaboration with Norwegian architecture firm, Snohetta. It will also feature as a a research centre for marine life. Under is due to open in March 2019. It will feature food from Danish chef, Nicolai Ellitsgaard Pedersen - including locally sourced seafood, such as cod, lobster and mussels including the specialty “truffle kelp”. *Please credit MEGA/Snohetta/Under*. 15 Nov 2018 Pictured: Restaurant seen from the sea floor.
