8 of the Quirkiest Restaurants in the UK

Ready to try something new and open your eyes and taste buds to something extraordinary? Tuck into this list of quirky restaurants in the UK.

Kitty Cafe

Kitty Cafe is the cafe for cat lovers. If you don’t mind sharing your dining experience with some feline friends, you’ll fit right in at the Kitty Cafe. The cat theme carries right through and we have to say this is one cute place to grab a cup of tea and a slice of cake! The Kitty Care is also a cat rescue and re-homing facility, so the majority of cats you’ll encounter have been rescued. We wonder how many people have visited the cafe and returned home with a new family member? Of course, there are some house rules for guests to keep the cats safe.

Archipelago is a restaurant that promises a ‘sensory dining journey amid the glow of golden Buddhas, dwarf palm trees and giant peacock feathers’. If that’s not enough to grab your interest, we don’t know what is! Archipelago offers one very unique menu including dishes with crocodile, wildebeest and kangaroo. Each dish is creative and bound to deliver a memorable meal to your taste buds!
The interior is as unique as the food.

The Treehouse Restaurant

The Treehouse Restaurant  combines a treehouse style restaurant and great food, what more could you ask for? Based at The Alnwick Garden in Northumberland, the Treehouse restaurant combines wooden walkways, rope bridges, twinkling lights and a beautiful log fire. A lot of the menu includes locally sourced fish, seafood and meats, the drinks menu is also not to be missed. Does the appeal of a tree house meal speak to your inner-child?

Shaka Zulu

Shaka Zulu: in the heart of Camden, London you will find the UK’s largest South African themed restaurant. This is truly a dining experience like no other, spread across two fantastic floors. On the lower floor, you will find 20ft high warrior statues and across the whole restaurant carved wooden murals cover the walls and ceiling. It’s a stunning place to eat or party the night away.

DC-6 Diner

DC-6 Diner : dine in a vintage DC-6 aircraft found at Coventry Airport. This was the restaurant that featured in James Bond Casino Royale and that in itself adds to the appeal. Seating up to 40 guests at a time the DC-6 Diner caters for all kinds of guests; business lunches, romantic meals and even ‘Little Aviators’. Just for the kids, they’ve created the ‘Little Aviators Club’.

Cereal Killer Cafe

Of course, the cereal killer cafe made our list since we recently interviewed one of the co-owners to learn even more about this fascinating cafe. With UK cafes in London & Birmingham, you can grab a bowl of some of the rarest and tastiest cereal in existence! They also serve up unique combinations of different cereal cocktails & not just for breakfast.

Dans le Noir

Dans le Noir : dining in the dark, not something you find in every city and probably not something many of us have experienced. Based in Clerkenwell London, the Dans le Noir large dining room serves up to 60 and offers a different kind of sensory experience. The set-up has been designed to minimise accidents and the special security systems keep everything running smoothly and safely. If you’re not scared of the dark, give it a go!

Two Rivers Restaurant

Two Rivers Restaurant: you might have heard of the ‘The Deep’, one of Europe’s best aquariums, based in Hull. If you’re planning a trip there you’ll certainly want to visit this unique restaurant. Dining with views like this makes for a very memorable experience and a great way to complete your day out.
