6 Themed Restaurants to Try
Experiential eating, often found in themed restaurants, goes beyond the food itself. It’s about creating a full sensory experience, where the atmosphere, décor, and ambiance transport you to a different time or place. As Chelsea puts it, “It can be highbrow, and then you can be eating food from a bucket like a horse trough almost. So it’s really dynamic.”
