If you thought Pret a Diner's Minotaur pop-up in London's Old Vic Tunnels was an underground dining experience to remember, perhaps you should book yourself a trip to the small Finnish town of Lohja in September.

Set half an hour from Helsinki, Muru Pops Down in Tytyri is a subterranean temporary dining experience (or 'pop-up restaurant', as we used to call them) taking place 80 metres below ground in a functioning mine, half an hour out from Helsinki, hosted by one of Finland's leading restaurants. For two weeks, guests will be invited to dine on a menu featuring signature dishes like the fennel risotto entrée served with escargot flambéed in Pernod, and the roasted veal tenderloin and hanger steak served with bearnaise, alongside some taste-sounding wine pairings. But even more interesting for us, is the digestive subterranean saunter available, which will drop dinner guests down to an impressive 350m in the impressive KONE elevator test tower.

On the one hand, Muru's 'pop down' is a witty enough inversion of the now mainstay pop up. But the project also riffs nicely on the never-ending quest for modern restaurateurs and marketeers to draw their diners in with increasingly unique environments. And all while ticking our own box for including a little science with our award-winning food.
