The world's largest underwater restaurant, which can seat up to 100 guests, opened on the coast of Baly, a small town on Norway's southernmost coastline, on March 21, 2019. A massive structure, resembling a sea creature, the restaurant will be the first underwater restaurant in Europe.

"We'll attract tourists from all over the world. That is our goal. I hope and believe that this will be the start of a new age for the travel industry," says Gaute Ubostad, one of the project heads.

The building was constructed over the course of six months on a barge near Baly. Last July, Snohetta, an international architecture and interior design firm based in Oslo, which created the restaurant, sank the building 16 feet underwater, securing it to the ocean floor. The firm is now working on the interior design details.
