5 Fanciest McDonald's Locations Around The World | TheRichest

McDonald's popularity globally is due to its broad scope of junk food options that cater to varying demographics worldwide. The usual image of McDonald's is mostly an economical, fast food outlet with a wide variety of options. These outlets are designed in a particular manner to create a family-friendly vibe. It comes with its own yellow and red stripes and the McD clown asking if you love it. It is a place where kids like to hang out when they want a quick snack.

However, many fancy McDonald's locations around the world hardly confirm this imagination. When the food options, prices, décor, and so on are discussed, one observes how different these fancy and luxury restaurants are from the conventional ones. At times, it also becomes almost unbelievable that these are McDonald's outlets.

The following is a list of some of the fanciest McDonald's locations across the globe.

5 New Hyde Park, New York

McDonald's New Hyde Park outlet in New York City is nothing like a typical McD outlet. It is way fancier and is made within a Georgian mansion that was built back in 1795. It is in the heart of New York City and is promoted as one of the most visited and crowded places.

This is why the MNC could not stick to its original plan of tearing it down to build something fresh. This, however, worked out well for them, and now the outlet is a popular food joint with fancy food options. This outlet is known for its classy glass verandah and a grand sweeping staircase.

4 The Quarter Pounder in Tokyo

McDonald's started a venture in Tokyo, Japan, to try out their quarter-pounders' success through two retail outlets. These were quite sleek and elegant with black and red get-up and furniture from Le Corbusier. Its stripped-down menu and choices were limited between two kinds of quarter-pounders - one with cheese and one without the cheese.

The people of Tokyo didn't quite appreciate the quarter-pounder with cheese option, which was eventually scrapped from the menu. By 2015, McDonald's became fancier in Japan by setting up their 'Restaurant M,' a one-day pop-up opening in Tokyo to make the people taste fresh items, including salads and desserts.

3 McDonald's At The Heart of Rotterdam

Rotterdam's inhabitants had been complaining about an architectural failure at the heart of the city ever since the 1960s. A few decades later, McDonald's saw it as the perfect opportunity to turn an eyesore into eye candy. That is how this fashionably-designed McDonald's in Rotterdam came into being.

Reports indicate that the executive of McD employed the Mei Designers to build this masterpiece. This restaurant is guarded by sophisticated glass walls and a beautiful flight of stairs well lit like those in a mansion. The entire building has a golden touch to it, and the customers have three passages to enter and exit. Plus, this outlet remains open throughout the day.

2 The McDonald's Imperial In Porto, Portugal

Porto city in Portugal is known for its rich cultural heritage and the astonishing sculptures of Mediterranean design. The McDonald's in Porto is no different when it comes to architecture. This McD outlet's entrance is known to have a fantastic eagle sculpture bound to inspire some awe amongst visitors.

This McDonald's restaurant is also known as the McDonald's Imperial because it previously belonged to Café Imperial, a well-known coffee house franchise. It has beautiful chandeliers and giant stained glass windows. The food is up to the standards of McD as well, with the giant Mac burgers and other snacks. It is known to attract locals and tourists' swarm because of being an architectural marvel and a brilliant food joint.

1 McDonald's Next in Hong Kong

The McDonald's Next outlet in Hong Kong is a radical take on the traditional McD concept. An Australian company took up this venture to transform a typical McD food joint into something different, exotic, and better. For example, it does not come with the original red and yellow décor of McDonald's. Instead, space has a more sophisticated silver and metal touch to it.

The ambiance of this outlet is flexible from day to night. But overall, it is a mixture of a warehouse vibe with a chic touch. There are futurist menu viewing options that do not require staff assistance, as one can look at the menu on the phone through a code scanner. This is what makes it so popular among customers.

These are only a few of the fanciest McDonald's locations worldwide that have their distinct flavor and unique touch to them. Some other such outlets would include Taupo New Zealand, Rome, Dallas in Texas, and Ulsan in South Korea.
