The restaurant in Damman gives a whole new meaning to fine dining, with the amount customers are charged relating to the amount left on the plate - the bigger the 'waste' the more you will have cough up.
The reason for the fine is to cut down on wastage and to put visitors off from making extravagant orders,Gulf News reports.
Restaurant owner Fahad Al Anezi said the fines are necessary because 'there are many clients who make large orders to impress the people around them and boost their social prestige'.
Mr Al Anezi also added that the charges had had positive feedback since being imposed.
There is no mention however of what happens to the extra money they make from the penalties.
Marmar isn't the only eatery with seemingly drastic reactions to customers failing to finish their meals. The owner of Swedish restaurant Bamboo Mongolian BBQ kicked out some of his customers after spotting they left food on their plates.
Owner Henrik Cui said at the time: 'I don’t care if they have one plate or ten plates but I expect people to eat all their food and not to waste it. Sit here all day if you like but don’t throw away food.'

I went to reply to this earlier and it somehow got posted on another thread. Personally.... good! Charge em all whatever you want! I'll never be over there, I'll never eat at their cafe, and I like it that way.
And about the clean your plate comment??? Look out... these days we are supposed to allow children to eat as little as they want, because of obesity.... LOL
Cripes.... what a world we live in.

We have a couple of restaurants like that here. Sushi one's where it's all you can eat for X amount of money. If you order more then you eat and waste it, your charged extra. I bet it's something like that..it would have to be, as that is the only way you are responsible for your own portions. It's a good idea I think.
sure does!
LOL, It gives clean your plate a whole new meaning doesnt it! LOL
Oh goodness.... this is really funny.
Its good that people dont waste, but sometimes they give you too much food! I wonder if they let you take home the leftovers?
The poor people that cant afford to pay for the leftovers....they will be forced to eat and be sick!
