(AP) — Customers having dinner at Muru Pop Down -restaurant at Tytyri mine in Lohja, Finland on Monday Sept. 10 2012.
The award-winning chef, Niklas Ekblom, is opening a new restaurant in Finland that turns the idea of "pop-up" eateries upside-down: it's located 80 meters (260 feet) underground. Discerning food lovers are being served salted salmon, veal tenderloin snails cooked in Pernod, and apple crumble in the "pop-down" restaurant in a limestone mine in the small, southern town of Lohja, 60 kilometers (40 miles) west of Helsinki. A four-course evening meal costs 128 euro ($160), including drinks and transportation down to the mine and back up. (AP Photo/Lehtikuva, Antti Aimo-Koivisto)
