Toilet Restaurant

IOL: Displaying fancy toilet seats studded with flowers and shells, colourful bathtubs, faucets, mirrors and shower curtains, the well-lit window in this southern Taiwan city looks like a showroom for a trendy bathroom brand.
But this is a restaurant.
It’s unusual theme is proving a draw for customers eager to eat food off plates and bowls shaped like western loo seats as well as Japanese “squat toilets”.
Marton Theme Restaurant, named after the Chinese word “matong” for toilet, has become a hit in Taiwan’s second largest city since its opening in May 2004.
Though bathroom decor seems a bizarre way to whet the appetites of diners, the idea has been so successful owner Eric Wang opened a second and bigger branch just seven months later.
“We not only sell food but also laughter. The food is just as good as any restaurant but we offer additional fun,” says 26-year-old Wang, who gave up a career in banking to launch the business.
