Chandelier Restaurant

The Chandelier Restaurant is a location featured in The Rescuers Down Under.

Place in the story
At the beginning of the film, Bianca & Bernard are dining at the chandelier restaurant to celebrate their lengthy partnership. At the same time, Bernard is trying to propose marriage to Bianca (but without much success). When Bianca receives a message from one of the servers about the missing boy Cody, she alerts Bernard about the situation, & the two immediately leave the restaurant to accept their mission at Rescue Aid Society headquarters.

Appearance
As its name suggests, the restaurant is located on top of a chandelier in a fancy human's restaurant, with additional sections located in the supporting pillars on either side. The tables are covered with pink tablecloths, & the chairs are made of corks (with cushioned bottle caps making up the backs of the seats, & attached by metal wiring). Thimbles serve as pots, large bowls, & ice buckets (the latter of which are supported by little wooden tripods made of toothpicks). Salt shakers serve as vases for mouse-sized plants. The lamps on the tables are made of small Christmas lights attached to upside-down toothpaste caps. In one of the adjoining pillars, at the very top, there is a kitchen filled with foodstuffs, cooking utensils, & the like, with a lighter serving as a makeshift stove. On the bottom of the same column, there is an elaborate homemade contraption used to launch leftover food from the humans, & send it up to the kitchen.

Personnel & Patronage
The roles of cooks, servers, & other staff members are filled in by crickets & cockroaches, including the waiter Francois. The restaurant is also very popular with rodents, who appear to be their primary customers.

Provisions
Among the menu options available at the restaurant are pea soup, broth, sandwiches, fruit, ice cream, soft drinks with umbrellas in them, champagne, & wine.
