UFO, Elevated restaurant on SNP Bridge in Bratislava, Slovakia.
The UFO restaurant sits 85 meters above ground on a bridge pillar, providing views across Bratislava and the Danube River from its circular dining room.
Opening in 2005, the restaurant introduced a new architectural element to the SNP Bridge while creating an observation point above the Slovak capital.
Chef Jozef Masarovič creates dishes that combine Asian and Mediterranean influences, incorporating ingredients from producers within 30 kilometers of Bratislava.
The restaurant operates daily from noon to 11 PM, offering a seasonal tasting menu alongside à la carte options with main courses priced around 49 euros.
The establishment belongs to the World Federation of Great Towers, featuring a circular platform that accommodates 140 guests above the Danube River.

Architecture does not have to follow straight lines and right angles. This collection presents buildings that stand out through their form: domes, spirals, tilted facades or organic structures that recall animals or plants. From Gaudí's mosaic covered works in Barcelona to the stacked concrete cubes of Habitat 67 in Montreal or the conical trulli of Alberobello, these structures demonstrate alternative approaches to construction. Some emerged from technical necessity, such as the temporary cardboard cathedral in Christchurch after the 2011 earthquake. Others are artistic statements: the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao with its titanium plates, the Dancing House in Prague or the cubist houses in Rotterdam. In Đà Lạt, the Crazy House transforms tree trunks and caves into habitable spaces, while the Atomium in Brussels represents a magnified iron crystal. These structures attract visitors but also raise questions about function and livability. The Longaberger Basket Building in Ohio takes the form of a seven story basket. The Lotus Temple in New Delhi uses concrete shells to form 27 petals. The Aldar headquarters in Abu Dhabi resembles a circular coin. These buildings expand the definition of what architecture can be.
