Unusual Restaurants
Most people go to a restaurant to eat good food and relax. But some restaurants offer a very different experience. The "Ice Palace" in Sweden is made entirely of ice. The walls, tables, and even the glasses are ice! You have to wear a warm coat and gloves while you eat dinner because the temperature is -5 degrees Celsius.
