The 'Krankenhaus' is the German term for hospital, which is the theme that this restaurant follows.
From the nurse outfit garbed waitresses to the IV drip tubes through which your drinks are refilled, the Taiwanese D.S Music takes its health care theme very seriously indeed.
Although, it's anybody's guess as to what its names have to do with its striking theme.
Nevertheless, this restaurant definitely belongs in the restaurant guide for the bizarre and quirky. 🏨
Always wanted to know what a little jail time felt like? In that case, head for a meal at the Devil Island Prison Restaurant in China.

While the general consensus on plane food is anything but positive, this restaurant seems to be made for those unique-minded and stomached individuals who do actually like eating a thousand miles or so up in the air.
Most people don't particularly enjoy mile-high dining due to the lack of appetite that comes with travelling at such altitudes, combined with the relative tastelessness of the food at that atmosphere; nevertheless, as mentioned above, there are individuals for whom these issues seem to apply less than others.
Nostalgic of being served inside an airline, this restaurant's plane-themed décor comes complete with tiny, oval shaped windows just like you would expect to find on a plane. ✈️
The food is served in trays which have compartments for an assortment of mini food containers, just like what you are offered in the air. So sit back and chew on your food as you reminisce about mealtimes on your last flight at Taiwan's A380 In-Flight Kitchen.
