AKIPRESS.COM - Europe's first underwater restaurant is set to open in early 2019 in Lindesnes, in the south of Norway, CNN says.

The planned concrete structure features a 36-foot wide panoramic window and is designed to become part of the marine environment, with a menu that will focus on seafood.

The restaurant, called "Under," is designed by Norwegian architectural firm Snøhetta, famous for its work on the Norwegian National Opera & Ballet and the Bibliotheca Alexandrina in Egypt. It will stand on the sea bed five meters below the surface, with thick walls designed to withstand the most variable sea conditions. It will be Snøhetta's first underwater project.
