Many famous landmarks from the movies are popular with tourists, many of which are restaurants. Here are 10 iconic restaurants you will remember from popular movies.
Elat Burger, The Avengers
Tony Stark’s suggestion of a shawarma restaurant for a relaxing meal exists. The final scene of the film’s last scene is shot in a small, casually dressed diner. Even though it has suffered some damage during the battle, the owner insists on keeping the diner open as a symbolic gesture.
The story behind this scene can be described as interesting, and we should thank Robert Downey Jr. since it is based on one of his improvised lines from The Avengers. It is located in New York City. It has a counterpart in Los Angeles.
Alien’s Pizza Planet, Toy Story
This famous location bridges the world of fantasy and reality. Although it is part of Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Florida, it is still a working restaurant and often doubles up as a movie set.
Although the exterior decor, including a large rocket ship, is fictionalized, the interior games and large portions of simple, fast food are real. This is a place that both children and adults will enjoy.
New York Grill, Park Hyatt Tokyo, Lost in Translation
This is a luxurious location, one of the best in town. Here you can relax and enjoy the company of movie stars and other famous people. The exterior offers a stunning view of Tokyo.
Katz’s Delicatessen When Harry Met Sally
Meg Ryan and Katz’s Delitcassean became famous with a single memorable scene. This neighborhood landmark restaurant has been in operation for more than a century.
You can order from the same menu and sit at the same table. The sign says, “Where Harry met Sally… Hope she has what you have!” Interesting trivia: The lady politely saying, “I’ll get what she’s having”, is Rob Reiner’s mom.
This scene is so important that movie buffs are fascinated by the actual restaurant. As the movie progresses to its inevitable conclusion, the main character runs from the bar into the dining room. He changes clothes and gets drunker.
You can choose from different seating areas if you go to a real restaurant in Danville, California.

You will find Parisian-style decor and menus. So, be ready to enjoy your movie with local people.

Kansas City Barbeque, Top Gun
This bar was rebuilt after the 2008 devastating fire. Unfortunately, the original jukebox and piano were destroyed in the 2008 fire. Some of the magic from the old bar is recreated by vintage replacements. This is also where the scene in Top Gun was filmed.
