Fancy restaurants and creative plating go hand in hand. I mean, it’s a given that if you visit a fine-dining place, you’ll not be served in the regular ghar ki thali that you’re used to. 

But taking this up a notch are these restaurants that have served food in just about everything other than PLATES. 

From flowerpots to paint palettes, we legit found a Reddit thread where people shared some of the weirdest things they have been served food in.

1. Is this what it feels like to have a ‘silver spoon?’

We don’t ask for much. Just serve us our food on normal plates and we’ll be happy. PLEASE.
