An underwater restaurant aptly named "Under" is opening in Norway in 2019. It has a panoramic window through which guests can watch marine life swim by.

The restaurant recommends that guests allot three-and-a-half to four hours "to fully escape into our Immersion menu," according to its website.

Europe's first underwater restaurant — and the world's largest — is set to open in Norway in April 2019.

Designed by Snøhetta, "Under" sits half-submerged into the sea and has three-foot thick walls designed to withstand the area's rugged seas.

Guests at Under can gaze at marine life through a 36 x 13-foot panoramic window in the dining room, which will seat between 80 and 100 people. Muted lighting will be installed on the seabed so that guests can see the marine life in any weather conditions.

According to , Under is unique among other underwater structures.

Under will, of course, serve seafood. Danish chef Nicolai Ellitsgaard Pedersen will create locally sourced dishes that include cod, lobster, mussels, and truffle kelp, which is a local type of seaweed that apparently tastes like truffles.

Here's a peek at Under.
