Solitude Resort

The Yurt at Solitude

Talk about exclusive. If the fact that theYurt at Solitude(located in Solitude, Utah) only fits 24 guests at a time, only stays open for four hours a day, four days a week, doesn't allow anyone under 13 to dine there and costs $130 per person isn't enough, consider this: You have to walk a half-mile in the snow just to get there. The good news? At least the Yurt provides snowshoes.

The Redwoods Treehouse

TheRedwoods Treehousein Warkworth, New Zealand, isn't technically a restaurant -- it's a venue where weddings, parties and corporate events take place. But, the Treehouse does offer catering for the venue (which costs $3000 to book before considering food and drinks), which makes it close enough -- and strange enough -- for this list.
The Rock

The Rock Restaurant

TheRock, located off the southeast coast of Zanzibar, is aptly named. Built on top of a massive rock in the Indian Ocean (which was originally used as a fisherman's post), the restaurant opened in 2010 and is accessible by foot . . . at least, during low tide. Otherwise, the restaurant offers a boat to shuttle you across the water.
