The story
Beneath the Indian Ocean, on Rangali Island, Ithaa Undersea Restaurant offers a dining experience where the aquarium is the room itself. Walk With Me Tim, who visited during a stay at the world's most expensive underwater hotel, described the set menu as good, but noted that the real star is the panoramic view of the reef and sharks swimming past. This scenic, romantic setting earns the venue a 4.4-star rating, leaning into its intimate, fine-dining atmosphere.
The meal features a curated tasting menu that highlights seafood and refined proteins. Tim specifically enjoyed the Tuna Tartare, Smoked Duck Salad with Grilled Fig, Pine Nuts, and Beetroot Purée, along with Lobster, Steak, and a White Chocolate Coconut Mousse with Wafer Coral. While the food is well-regarded, the submerged glass tunnel remains the unforgettable centerpiece.

I started with the tuna tartare — it was a great way to begin the meal.
Smoked Duck Salad with Grilled Fig, Pine Nuts, and Beetroot Purée
The smoked duck salad with grilled fig, pine nuts, and beetroot purée was really good.

The lobster looked really good — I don't get a chance to have lobster very often.
Steak
The steak smelled good and looked good as well.
White Chocolate Coconut Mousse with Wafer Coral
For dessert I had the white chocolate coconut mousse with a little wafer coral — it was quite subtle and quite nice.
