The loo at Ezard is one of the eeriest I’ve been in. From memory, it’s dark with glass, gloss and mirrors and something of an optical illusion. I wouldn’t like to go in there six sheets in the wind!

Jess, Siglo on the top floor are okay but agree on Supper Club. Why are they so awful?

EG, Let’s add Da Noi to the outside loo list too. Yes, I also avoid physical contact usually raising the seat with my foot and trying not to touch anything. Yuk! Funky Curry sounds illegal.

Jack, Laos – I wish they had bog roll.

Tim, Lol! I share your fears and when I get to visit I shall with my camera.

This post made me think of the urinals at the brand new Murdock Wines in the Barossa Valley. It’s not disappointing by any means, rather it’s a little too impressive. I couldn’t tell whether the wall-high glass waterfall was a urinal or not, and ended up using the stall for fear of being caught inadvertently pissing on their bathroom water feature.

I missed the shared air space between the male and femail toilets at the Wine Room, it was always a treat for the senses…
My favourite toilet experience was in Laos where all they had was a urinal in the kitchen surround by a shower curtain that protected your dignity by a small margin from the sizzling woks 30 cm away. PDC discovered this to his stage fright and I decided to stop drinking the beer than risk working out what to do about the toilet scenario for girls!
In Melbourne I love the fancy plastic moving dunnies at France Soir and hate the grotty mess of Pizza i Birra with their plastic gloves and spray products stashed in the corner.

I share your fascination with restaurant toilets, Ed. I am always keen to christen the latrines at eateries; they complete the experience for me. Nothing peeves me more than having a fine meal then needing to endure horrendo loos.

I’m not a fan of bathrooms where you need to leave the restaurant to relieve yourself, so that includes Sushi Jamon, Ocha, Cicciolina Bar and Tempura Hajime. I’ve been to shockers on Victoria Street, Richmond, like Thanh Ha (very bad). Funky Curry’s (city) is disturbing, mostly because it is part toilet, part pantry and part storeroom, all in the same space. But one of the worst would have to be Rue Bebelon – one of my favourite bars but their bogs remind me of a certain scene in Trainspotting and makes me glad that I stand to pee, thus avoiding all physical contact.

Supper Club/Siglo toilets. But I guess that one is a given, considering you mentioned the European.

The bathrooms of the Flower Drum in Melbourne are horrible and in desperate need of renovation. Further proof the Drum ain’t what it used to be.
