The World's Largest Underwater Restaurant - Under in Lindesnes, Norway

Restaurant Under in Lindesnes, Norway is the largest underwater restaurant in the world and the first of its kind in Europe. Designed by acclaimed architecture firm Snøhetta, it is without a doubt one of the most anticipated restaurant openings of the year. Head chef Nicolai Ellitsgaard has developed a sustainable menu mostly based on local seafood and forest plants. A lot of former Maaemo staff make up the front of house team. To get to Under, you have to fly or take a train to Kristiansand, rent a car, and drive the last hour to the most southern tip of Norway - Lindesnes Fyr. You can stay at the lighthouse if you book early enough, and if not, there are plenty of rooms at Lindesnes Havhotel right next to the restaurant. As you arrive, you'll see the impressive structure emerging like a submarine coming out of the water. On the way down to the dining room, there is a window that shows exactly when you go below the water surface. Are you ready to dine among the fishes?

I don't eat seafood, however, I absolutely love and appreciate the artistry that has gone into this place and everything they make. It is beautiful and unique. The food is a true work of art. The way they have blended food sourced locally from land and sea is just amazing. Bravo!

[@andersandkaitlin]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@nastynate838]

insane ! never heard of this place before . had cost a fortune to build and maintain ! great work per usual !

[@andersandkaitlin]

Thanks! Sure must have cost a lot, but it's so spectacular.

[@RubenVatle]

I remember it being about 50Mill Norwegian kroner.. so about 5Mill USD. quite a price tag for a restaurant that houses up to 40 people maximum. Its 100usd just to book a table per head and the cheapest meal is just about 300usd per head.. So expect to pay at least 1000usd to eat there lol

[@kingk2405]

Ruben Vatle I do not find the cost of building expensive for such unique design. I am sure that in Oslo , if you have 5 Mil $ and you want to buy a restaurant (so the business and the building ) you will not have something fabulous (never been there but tell me if I am wrong) . Also as it is so exclusive being in the middle of nowhere is not an issue , people will travel . Basically the money you spend in design is not the money you could have spent because of the location. For example In France a lot of top restaurants are in the middle of nowhere ...or really in the middle of everything as part of a top hotel .

[@MadMaxBeyond]

@@RubenVatle it’s 80 million kroner !

[@netweed09]

Truly beautiful as it is surreal. I like that it's in the more Southern part, not the even harsher Northern part of Norway. Actually; Norway is not too expensive a trip for me here in the UK so really might think of trying it one day as I really like certain seafoods, especially a juicy lobster! My only concern that's putting me off is the portion sizes unfortunately look extremely small. Like, the mains look smaller than many starters I know at Seafood-based restaurants! Chances are I'll still be hungry after a full course!

[@andersandkaitlin]

This is actually one of the few meals we can remember having been hungry at the end of, so yeah, you might wanna pack some carbs and store in your hotel room. However, they might have adjusted the serving sizes now, this was a few years ago after all.

[@Shingorani]

Just curious, why do these Michelin star restaurants always serve langoustine instead of lobster or crab? I know in this case they also served crab but in a lot of videos there's just langoustine

[@andersandkaitlin]

Great question! First of all, langoustine is a much more common ingredient in Nordic restaurants specifically, because we have these amazing, large, high-quality langoustines in the cold waters of Norway. The second name for them is actually Norwegian lobster (although, we also have regular lobsters), probably because of their size. In fact, the quality is so good that high-end restaurants like this much prefer it to regular lobsters, where the meat tend to be less delicate, less sweet, and also has a ridiculously high price in comparison.

[@Shingorani]

Based on our meal, they could have used some more time to get everything right, but that was 1 month after opening, so likely the Michelin inspectors saw that improvement.

It all looked beautiful but sounded very unappetizing. I bet it’s a fortune too for those tiny little servings. So glad I can go out back of my house and catch fresh seafood. I’d rather feed my entire family than have fluff and flowers.

[@andersandkaitlin]

You'd be surprised at how tasty it was. Expensive is relative, but sure, it's not a cheap meal, but then again, you're in a spectacular location and it's a long and elaborate tasting menu.

[@kingk2405]

Norway is a very interesting country . They are really into cutting edge tech , design etc ...and everybody forget that they are absolutely loaded .

[@andersandkaitlin]

Do people forget that? Sure, it's a wealthy country, but you don't have the huge difference in wealth between rich and poor that you see in the U.S. or developing countries.

[@kingk2405]

Anders Husa & Kaitlin Orr Yes that is true but you can have a country with much less wealth but with the same distribution of wealth . Poland is like Norway (see gini index below ) but much less wealthier . en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gini_coefficient

[@andersandkaitlin]

I have to disagree. You actually see a lot of life. Natural life that is. It's not like those "underwater" restaurants in Dubai where you are actually sitting inside an aquarium tank. Another reason for having this restaurant in Norway is because the seafood truly is the best in the world. Warm water seafood is not very good.
