A new Star Wars din­ner has inspired us branch out into the lucra­tive world of nov­el­ty food joints.

Tim Bur­ton fans are expect­ed to flock to New York’s East Vil­lage to expe­ri­ence Gin and Beetle­juice, a Bur­ton-themed bar with puns dri­ving its man­i­festo. Fol­low­ing suit, this June a Star Wars pop-up restau­rant called The Fork Awak­ens will open in Lon­don for a lim­it­ed engage­ment. These ven­tures are (hope­ful­ly) the start of a trend towards culi­nary inter­pre­ta­tions of some of the world’s most beloved direc­tors and movies and to cel­e­brate, we’re offer­ing you a place at our table. Now tak­ing bookings…

Sydney’s pre­mier seafood restau­rant, where clown­fish is always in sea­son. For all you recov­er­ing car­ni­vores man­ag­ing to stick to your Fish Are Friends’ pro­gramme, sus­tain­ably farmed sea cum­bers and mol­luscs are also on the menu. Where pos­si­ble all ingre­di­ents are local­ly sourced by Bob’s Fish Mart.

The on ice’ mod­el is employed here to bring you a selec­tion of tru­ly mouth­wa­ter­ing dish­es, deliv­ered to your table with a slap shot. No piz­za ovens, but instead open freez­ers allow you to watch the Quack Quack’ ice cream spe­cial solid­i­fy dur­ing your first two courses.

This one is for adven­tur­ous food­ies only. You don’t reserve a table but a prison cell, with only a ren­der­ing of the Duo­mo as seen from the Belvedere to dis­tract you from the… exot­ic” food. Top tip: if you pre­fer your side sal­ad ungar­nished best to avoid being seat­ed next to the Mul­ti­ple Miggs cell.

Ever con­sid­ered digest­ing your food dig­i­tal­ly? In New York’s first paper­less eatery, we send you iron­ic emails describ­ing your foods flavours. We also pro­vide anec­dotes about the first time we ever expe­ri­enced a steak tar­tar. On the banks of the Tiber. And watch out, because that hand­some be-scarfed man at the win­dow might be the man of your dreams, @Logcutter92.

A trendy new break­fast joint exclu­sive­ly serv­ing up the finest smoked Scot­tish salmon. There are mint juleps to drink and no short­age of stim­u­lat­ing con­ver­sa­tion to be had with the affa­ble MOD squad regulars.

Ever dreamt of sam­pling the world’s most dan­ger­ous game? In this open air street din­ner you can do just that. Served on a desert­ed West­min­ster Bridge and pre­pared on the fly, this immer­sive din­ning expe­ri­ence is the per­fect choice for when you need to grab a quick bite. If you do man­age to stay off the menu long enough to reach us, we also pro­vide a you kill it, we cook it’ option.
