The underwater restaurant “Under” located near to the southernmost tip of Norway under five meters is the first of its kind in Europe. The public opening of the restaurant is scheduled in the spring of 2019.

The restaurant is designed by Snohetta, a Norwegian outfit which made fame through several unique projects. The 110-foot long structure looks like an oblique concrete slab familiar to a sunken periscope.

The structure will accommodate about 100 guests with 500 square meters of an internal area set over three layers offering a stunning unique view of the surrounding marine environment through an 11-meter (36 feet) wide panoramic window. The 2500-ton structure was built in about 6 months. The delicious menu with local seafood and other varieties are created by a famous Danish head chef, Mr Nicolai Ellitsgaard Pedersen.
