Dinner above the city
Rooftops & Views
The Eiffel Tower, the Burj Khalifa, Frankfurt’s skyline, Hamburg’s harbour and a mountain hut at 2,500 metres: the tables where the view is the first course.
A view can excuse a bad kitchen; the places on this list do not need the excuse. We chose restaurants where the panorama and the plate are both worth the reservation: dinner on the Eiffel Tower, the 122nd floor of the Burj Khalifa, the 60th floor above New York harbour, the Alps from a St. Moritz terrace and the sunset from an Ibiza cliff.
