Our least favourite item in our houses is now coming to tables! A new toilet-themed restaurant in Los Angeles, U.S. has opened up, where guests sit on and eat out of toilets.
The restaurant, Magic Restroom Café, offers Taiwanese food. But every aspect of this eatery fulfills its restroom theme. The menu items’ names are pretty offbeat. For example, a chocolate sundae is called “Black Poop” and braised pork over rice is called “Smells Like Poop.” Even the décor resembles a bathroom. In the lobby, urinals and toilets are across all the walls, and diners are encouraged to take photos with them. In the dining room, guests sit on toilets (with the seat open or closed), colourful washroom tiles with shower heads line the walls, and food is served in miniature ceramic toilets.
This unusual restaurant opened on Oct. 11 and has since attracted a lot of attention from people and media outlets around the world. Magic Restroom Café is the first restaurant of its kind in the United States; however, this toilet-themed business was actually inspired by a very similar restaurant in Taipei, China called Modern Toilet.
According to an article in the Daily Mail, the restaurant’s manager, Chen Mi-kuang, says that he wants his business to “shock and confuse the senses.” We are sure his restaurant does just that!
