If you thought [Pret a Diner's](http://prote.in/profiles/kp-kofler-pret-a-diner?ref=protein.xyz) [Minotaur pop-up in London's Old Vic Tunnels](http://prote.in/feed/2011/10/the-minotaur-and-pret-a-diner?ref=protein.xyz) 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](http://wdchelsinki2012.fi/en/tytyri?ref=protein.xyz) 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](http://www.kone.com/countries/en%5FMP/references/leisure%5Fand%5Feducation/high-riseelevatorlaboratory/pages/default.aspx?ref=protein.xyz).

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.
