The world’s highest restaurants offer unique culinary experiences paired with breathtaking panoramas—from Shanghai to Dubai to Toronto. Discover where to dine at dizzying heights.
If you want to get up high, you no longer need to climb a peak - a reservation is often enough. There are restaurants around the globe that stand out not only in terms of cuisine, but also geographically. Whether on mountain peaks or in skyscrapers: they all combine a special location with sophisticated cuisine - and present chefs and guests alike with unusual conditions.
In the 120. Heavenly Jin is located on the second floor of the Shanghai Tower - the world's highest restaurant in a building according to Guinness World Records. At exactly 556.36 meters above the ground, it took the height record from the At.Mosphere in Dubai. A mix of European, Chinese and Japanese cuisine is served with a view of the megacity of Shanghai.
In the 122. Floor of the Burj Khalifa At.Mosphere is located around 442 meters above the ground. The restaurant serves modern French-inspired cuisine, partly with Asian influences. Depending on the weather, the view stretches across the entire Dubai skyline all the way to the Persian Gulf.
At 2970 meters above sea level, Piz Gloria on the Schilthorn is the highest revolving restaurant in Europe. Down-to-earth classics such as rösti, goulash soup or veal schnitzel are served, along with regional cheese and meat specialties. The restaurant rotates on its own axis once an hour, offering a panoramic view of the Eiger, Mönch, Jungfrau and over 200 Alpine peaks. On a clear day, the view extends as far as Mont Blanc.
On the 40th floor of the Heron Tower, Duck & Waffle serves modern British cuisine - including the signature dish of the same name with duck, waffle and fried egg. At around 230 meters above the ground, it's one of the highest restaurants in the UK. It is open around the clock - breakfast with a view over the London skyline is just as possible here as a late-night snack.
Located 351 meters up in the CN Tower, 360 Restaurant offers a panoramic view of the Toronto skyline, Lake Ontario and beyond. The menu focuses on regional products and Canadian specialties, accompanied by one of the largest wine selections in the country. The restaurant rotates on its own axis once every 72 minutes - so the name is to be taken literally.
