Nope, a mind-altering psychedelic substance was not slipped into your pre-dinner apéritif, this bizarre new Tokyo restaurant is for real – all thanks to the imagination of local interior gurus, Fantastic Design Works Co. Alice of Magic World – the fourth in a series of eateries based on Lewis Carroll’s creation – is a decidedly trippy affair, complete with custom made heart shaped chandelier and table, playing card tables and its own forest, there’s even Cheshire Cat tail pizza slices on the menu.

Whilst you may have already deduced that elegance or sophistication are in rather slim supply, there’s certainly a super-sized helping of fun to be had in indulging your childhood fantasies in this surreal melting pot of surprise and excitement. Breathtakingly original whilst never falling into the gimmicky trap, Alice of Magic World is a playful world in which you can lose yourself in your own imagination for a few hours. Or was that those hallucinogenics again?
