Under Opens as Europe's First Underwater Restaurant

A 34-metre concrete tube is half-sunk off Norway's southernmost point and opens as a restaurant, five and a half metres down, with an 11-metre window onto the seabed. Between services it works as a marine research station.

Under opened on 20 March 2019 at Båly in Lindesnes, at "the southernmost point of the Norwegian coastline, where the North and South seas meet" - "the only underwater restaurant in Europe, and only the third to be found worldwide"^[1][2]
Snøhetta designed it as a 34-metre monolith driven into the seabed, its dining room 5.5 metres below the surface behind a panoramic window 11 metres wide and 3.4 metres high, inside a concrete shell with half-metre walls built to take the pressure and the storms^[1][2]
The architects' own line for it: "In this building, you may find yourself under water, over the seabed, between land and sea"^[1]
It is also a laboratory - "Under also doubles as a sea lab, facilitating research in marine biology", inviting researchers to study the life outside the window^[1][2]
It took a Michelin star in 2020, less than a year after opening, and holds it; head chef Bernt Sætre cooks with "a special focus on elements found right outside the windows"^[2][3]
