Theme restaurants are restaurants in which the concept of the restaurant takes priority over everything else, influencing the architecture, food, music, and overall 'feel' of the restaurant. The food usually takes a backseat to the presentation of the theme, and these restaurants attract customers solely on the premise of the theme itself. Here are some bizarre theme restaurants that show how innovative the restauranteurs can be and the cultural trends behind the food scene.

In recent years, classroom-themed restaurants have been opened in many cities in China, such as Beijing, Fuzhou and Changchun. With blackboard, desk-like dinning table as well as childhood video games, the theme restaurant especially appeals to post-80s generation. Customers wear red scarves as if they were in primary school. Waiter and waitress are dressed like students and teachers. "Class meeting", which includes dance, singing and collective games in childhood, is held during the meal in a classroom-themed restaurant in Changchun, northeast China's Jilin province.
