Mars 2112 Restaurant, New York

Make like ET and leave your home planet behind, for as long as it takes to eat a burger and fries.

Mars 2112 raises the bar for themed restaurants to galactic heights. A winding queue through a space station starts your journey, eventually delivering you to your very own spaceship. One simulation later and you’re on…you guessed it…Mars.

From the red rock walls to the Martian-dressed staff, every detail is meticulously thought through and over-done in a way only the Americans can get right. And the food’s not half bad either. A mixture of Asian and American dishes dominates the menu, and each is presented as if it were an art-form.

Just be warned after a few drinks in the ‘Mars Bar’ (geddit?), finding a way out is nigh on impossible.
