The 10 most beautifully designed new restaurants
Check out the slideshow of the 10 Most Beautifully Designed New Restaurants in the world from Architectural Digest!
Restaurants spanning Doha, Paris, Berlin and Vietnam have made Architectural Digestās top 10 list of the most beautifully designed new eateries in the world.
Chosen for āgoing beyond the ordinary,ā theĀ magazineĀ shines the spotlight on recently opened dining destinations such asĀ The Troll WallĀ in Romsdal, Norway, which does an architecturally admirable job of competing against its stunning backdrop, a location set against the highest vertical rock face in Europe.
At the foot of the towering slate grey Norwegian mountain, a pyramid-like structure of dramatically angled glass walls rises out of the ground ā angled so as not to impede any sight lines to the sky.
Other restaurants that got an AD nod include theĀ Astor GrillĀ at St.Regis Doha, a steak and seafood restaurant where guests are greeted with a striking 5-meter tall, curved, silver sculptural art piece that wraps around the entrance wall.
Philippe Starck-designed restaurantĀ Ma Cocotte, located in the biggest and most famous flea market at the edge of Paris the MarchĆ© aux Puces Saint-Ouen, was also singled out for its eclectic interior, furnished with vintage and modern finds from the surrounding minefield of antiques.
And French chef Michel Rouxās Vietnam outpostĀ La Maison 1888Ā at the International Danang Sun Peninsula Resort also made the list for its stunning, contemporary take on French Colonial architecture.
Guests take their seats on opulent Louis XVI-style chairs, and dine on classic French dishes in a clean, black and white setting with leafy green plants which never let diners forget theyāre in tropical Asia.
Other addresses which made the top 10 list include NoMad and Atera in New York; 5-Cinco, Berlin; Brasserie ZĆ©del in London; Volkshaus Basel in Basel, Switzerland; and French Blue in St. Helena, CA.
