The world’s largest underwater restaurant opened in Norway recently. It is named “Under”. The building looks like a huge tube in the water. More than half of it sits about five meters below sea level. It has room for 40 guests. Guests are able to watch sea animals swimming around through a large window while they are eating. Of course, seafood dishes are served.

Under is so popular that around 7,000 people have already booked a table. And it is fully booked for six months.
