Unusual Concept
In 2004, a restaurant with a quirky concept opened in Taiwan—Modern Toilet Restaurant. The restaurant’s theme revolves entirely around bathroom decor. Diners sit on toilet-shaped seats, eat from miniature toilet bowls, and drink from urinal-shaped glasses, making it one of the most unique dining experiences in the world.
Inspired by a Popular Cartoon
The idea for the restaurant came from a popular Japanese cartoon in which characters used toilets for dining. The founder, Wang Zi-Wei, saw the potential for turning this unusual idea into a reality, and Modern Toilet was born. The restaurant quickly gained attention for its bold and offbeat concept.
Menu as Creative as the Decor
The food at Modern Toilet is just as inventive as its decor. Ice cream is served to resemble feces, while hotpots and other dishes come in miniature toilet bowls. Despite the unconventional presentation, the food itself is based on traditional Taiwanese cuisine.
Success and Expansion
What started as a single location in Taipei quickly grew in popularity. Due to its success, the Modern Toilet Restaurant expanded to multiple locations across Taiwan, attracting both locals and tourists who are curious about its one-of-a-kind dining experience.
