Bring back the plates: 25 examples of overly creative presentation of dishes (26 photos)

On the one hand, the creative approach of restaurateurs to serving is wonderful, but on the other hand, you need to know when to stop! Sometimes such creativity reaches the point of absurdity. And after suffering in a restaurant, a person wants only one thing - to finally eat from an ordinary plate.





The popular online project "We Want Plates" is a safe platform for discussing such a difficult topic as the lack of plates in restaurants. According to the project's website, it is "a worldwide crusade against serving food on pieces of wood and tiles, crisps in mugs and drinks in jam jars." It's also home to an impressive collection of some of the craziest, most amazing, and weirdest serving examples people have encountered.
