China is an amazing country, and sometimes one gets the impression that everything is possible here, even what, at first glance, seems unlikely. For example, dine aboard a luxurious airliner, where you will be served by friendly flight attendants, but without taking off! Chongqing Province recently opened themed restaurantwhose design is a copy of the world's largest passenger aircraft Airbus A380!
A truly "aviation atmosphere" reigns in the restaurant: portholes, adjustable capsule-chairs, aircraft lighting - everything repeats the original. True, the menu is significantly different than what is served in the air. Waitresses not only don the uniform of flight attendants, but also undergo special training so that their appearance and behavior is fully consistent with the flight attendants.
The A380 is 600 square meters, including six private rooms with tables. Currently, the restaurant can accommodate about 110 visitors at a time, served by 9 waitress stewardesses.
Amazingly, China's A380 is not the first of its kind! In Taipei (Taiwan), a similar themed restaurant appeared several years earlier. It is not so luxurious, but it even more resembles an ordinary plane. It is always crowded and the food is served in disposable plastic dishes. In the Chinese A380, on the other hand, the table setting and prices are by no means calculated for the average buyer. You can eat here, paying from £ 985 per serving. Such a price suggests that a flight on the Airbus A380 would be cheaper than sitting in the restaurant of the same name!
By the way, in Taiwan this is not the only thematic institution, in addition to airplane lovers, motorists are also taken care of here. Restaurant P. S. Bu Bu is a great place for those who are crazy about retro cars!
