Dinner in the sky
Dinner in the Sky is a Belgian company that hosts dinner parties high above cities around the world. They hoist up the table with a giant crane, and three chefs cook an amazing meal. The photos are thrilling, but would you dare?
P.S. Alex has a fear of heights, so he'd never do it. (My phobia is elevators, so I'd be ok:)

You poor thing, living in New York with a fear of elevators! They terrify me too (bad experience once), but I live in Oregon where the stairs are always a manageable length : )
This dinner in the sky deal looks fun! Thanks for sharing (as always)
I think I'd rather just go to the top story of a building. Still get a great view without feeling like you're going to lose your dinner :) Awesome concept though!
I think wearing a seatbelt to dinner sounds a little awkward.
abby, what's more awkward is that if you have to go to the bathroom during dinner, they have to lower the whole table! :)
april, i know, it's a drag!!
oh my god, just looking at those pictures makes my stomach light.
I certainly would have to limit how much wine I drank - being tipsy that high up would be terrifying!

Nice discovery. I'm belgian and I didn't know this company.
It's a nice idea and I dont' have any phobia. Maybe I should try once. Thanks for the information.

I am feeling dizzy as I watch these photos. I wonder how they can look so relaxed
Oh gosh... I'd do almost anything for a good meal--but no way. I wish I could handle it--looks like it would be fun!
I can barely stand to look at the photos. Yikes-no way.

That looks amazing, I'd do that in a heartbeat:)
that's too high up for me! I felt sick in a small helicopter with a glass floor and I wasn't eating then!
Bee happy x
Have a delicious day!
just too crazy for me, but wonderful for one who can
Que miedo!!!
Yo no podria, me pondria histerica!
Eso si, buenas panoramicas si que se pueden sacar...jajajaj!
i have trouble with heights, but sitting down, strapped in might make it ok.
Hey! I contacted this company a year ago for an article I was doing for a travel magazine. While I also have a morbid fear of heights, I was absolutely impressed by the quick, attentive and easygoing friendliness of the owner himself (his name is David). They have other 'events in the sky' such as business meetings! It is all sorts of amazing.
They've got one in Las Vegas too.... and you know they say to get over the fear, you gotta face it head on. ;)

Um, no thank you!! Food itself is thrilling enough for me :)
oh my gosh amazing!!!
This looks great... and terrifying at the same time. I don't think I could do it, but it would surely be an experience.
Never! I wouldn't have an appetite, no matter how great the food. I have a hard enough time standing close to the railing on the top of a tall building. Nope, not for me. Cool pics, though!
This is so amazing I love this! I would very much dare to partake!
dearest,

I would LOVE to do this. Sadly, I'd have to have dinner with a bunch of strangers, since everyone I know has a fear of heights. So exhilarating, though!!
I don't think I would be able to do it either! Yikes! It is a neat idea, though.
That's awesome! Would love to eat and that high in the sky would be so fun :)
I have a huge fear of heights so I would probably freak out but my Balazs would totally love something like that! The view must be amazing from up there, dont you think? Kisses
But what if you accidentally drop the fork?!
Guess I'd have to leave my strappy shoes behind but it would be exhilerating.
A part of me thinks that looks really cool and amazing- until I see that there is NO FLOOR. Yikes!
No way! No no no.
That was my first thought.
I'm not afraid of roller coaster rides that go up high...but I like to drop right back down and be done with it. Crazy!

I'd do it, but only on a warm, still day.
Oh my gosh, this is amazing and so crazy. I would definitely do it! How neat.
i don't think i'd ever be able to relax and actually enjoy my food....
sign me up!
I think I'd throw up my meal before I'd even get to appreciate the view - but oh, that looks amazing regardless!
My husband is scared of heights, too! But I would totally go.

I'm from Belgium but i've never heard of that company! It looks so cool!

A friend of mine was invited to one of these dinners hosted Rio de Janeiro (Brasil) and she loved it!
I would never in a billion years do it. I am terrified of heights.

They had this at the Edinburgh festival last summer! My brother went and said it was fun......but the food wasn't that great. Have you heard about dining in the dark?

that'd be unfortunate if you were stuck next to some obnoxious person.
so amazing... but i would be too terrified to eat!!! ughh. ;)
So intriguing! I'd love to know the menus they serve, too. Great place for a proposal!
holy crap, I would NEVER do this!!! It looks amazing and is a great idea, but my stomach turned in fear when I saw the pictures of people's feet and the city far, far below - yikes!!!
Holy crap, that is terrifing! Terrifingly amazing!! What a concept!

They better only do dinner when the weather is calm and clear, otherwise your ravioli is going to fly off of your plate!
This is super neat, Joanna. Thanks for sharing!

I saw these pics awhile back in a magazine and my first thought was "what if you have to pee??"
Hmmm. Interesting idea, but the restroom issue would make it a no-go for me. I think a concert in the sky would be more my thing. I wonder if it swings when the wind blows...
Wow, that's interesting! I'd totally do it.
i have a severe fear of heights unless its on a roller coaster or fair ride that moves very fast. i would absolutely die if i did this.
dinner in the sky actually came to South Africa not so long ago. still not sure how i feel about it, although these pics look amazing!
http://missmollyfashions.blogspot.com/
My first thought is, what if you have to use the loo??? :)
My second thought is, definitely not on a windy day.
Hmmm, I don't know how I feel about this. I'm not afraid of heights, but still... It'd be an adventure that's for sure.

Oh my goodness, just LOOKING at those photos (esp the one of the feet) makes my stomach drop! That looks like such an adventure, but I'm too afraid of heights to ever try it!
what a daring dinner! definitely on a nice sunny, still day.
I'm a little clumsy and I would be afraid to drop a steak knife!!!
Looks like a dinner to remember!
I think I'm with the minority here and would jump right in. But I do wonder, what happens if I drop my fork?
just looking at the photos gives me the heebie-jeebies!
But even if I could keep get over my mild fear of heights, I know I'd have to pee about 7 seconds after the thing left the ground.
Ah- they did this in Edinburgh at the Fringe festival last year. Great idea-very cool photos- but eating...up there...hmmm...
That looks so fun! I want to try it! I wonder what the cost is though....
Playing It Cooley
Thats so crazy!
I'd love to do that.

I sometimes slip my shoes off during dinner (horrible, I know!), so I'd have to make sure to wear straps rather than slip ons!
This is the coolest thing I've ever seen! I'd totally do it but be terrified the whole time.
I'd be totally freaked out!!
Nick's afraid of heights too. He wouldn't even want to look at these pictures. I'll eat and/or drink anywhere :)
I know this company! It is really close to my hometown in Belgium! But I'm afraid of heigths too so no go for me! xxx
This is AWESOME!! I'd totally do it. In fact, if I ever go to Belgium, I will make sure that it is the very first thing I do.

We have it in Cyprus as well, but I wouldnt pay the money just to sit up there, tied up, eating most probably along with people i dont know, looking the not so interesting view of this Island! :p
I'm a little iffy on heights but I would LOVE to do this here in Portland on a warm summer evening(oh, just thinking about the view of Mt. Hood, be still my heart!)
There is an Arabic TV show that invites celebrities to dinner in the sky in Beirut. I could never do it, I am terrified of heights!
My husband would never be able to keep food down if we went there for dinner - he's terrified of heights as well. I'm usually okay with them, but I'm not sure I'd like it all that much either.
They have a similar service in Istanbul, Turkey right by the Bosphorus. People who do this complain about the wind-- they say it makes it difficult to enjoy their food. Nothing like a cosy restaurant...
This is so cool! (and super scary...eeek)
It looks really cool, but I could never do this because of my fear of heights.
oh my dear! that's scary!
Part of me is saying, "YES, YES, YES!" and part of me is saying, "Too scary, too scary, too scary!"
If the opportunity presented itself, I don't think I could turn it down... I just might not purposely seek out the opportunity.
That is way cool!! I'd do it!
Wow that is incredible! I have a bit of a height problem too, but I think I could probably try to push it aside for this!
xx
Oh my gosh, this looks like so much fun. I would love to do it. It would be hard to eat dinner thinking of how high up you were though x
claireplush.blogspot.com
Wow! Very cool, but also a little bit scary. Definitely wearing enclosed shoes for that dinner :)
Pee. my. pants. I don't know if I would be able to eat anything!

My jaw dropped at this! I would do that in a heartbeat, how cool!! did anyone check out the website? they have marriage in the sky too... and at the end of the ceremony the couple bungee jumps off of the platform! now THAT is something I would NOT do!
I was all "Yeah, that looks like fun!" until I saw the last photo.
There. is. NO. way!!!
xx Felicity
I'm with Felicity above... There. is. NO. way!!! That looks amazing but there is no way I'd be able sit myself down at that table!
NOPE...I couldn't do it. Not a chance! I am so terrified of heights. The photo of the two peoples feet makes me feel like I am sitting right between their feet and I am about to fall....ugghh, my stomach is getting queezy just thinking about it.

Yikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There's no effin' way! I'm so scared of heights. My fiance would love it though lol.
Wow, I remember seeing a picture of this once, but I can't remember where. Would I go? In two words: HELL NO! (I'm a rock climber, but I hate heights. Yeah, I'm crazy.)
Oh there's just no way. It's freaking me out just looking at these. Pretty amazing though
what an amazing thought to add to the bucket list. wouldn't this be so wonderful with your closest friends!
I do believe I'd puke up my dinner before it had a chance to digest. I'm right with your Alex on the fear of heights. Gah!
My husband would KILL to do this. I'd go because I love him, but I don't think I'd be able to look down.
Most certainly I would! I love the idea. Can't wait to try it out for myself. What a fantastic place to be proposed to.
we have this here in Dubai. would love to try since the weather is still fine :)
Now that's an awesome idea!
I doubt I would be hungry at that height though XD
I think the concept is amazing and I thought for sure why not try it? Then I realized that there is no floor....I'm out.
I was just in Brussels this summer, and recognized that structure in the picture immediately. It was a lovely trip, but I don't know as I'd want to have dinner in the sky. Interesting concept tho!
This seems bad for digestion;) In other words...NOT A CHANCE for me!!
Oh man, just looking at those makes me super nervous.
Hey! We have the same in Istanbul, and here are the photos of a marriage proposal. :)

Between the two continents, Europe and Asia! Bosphorus is under your feet! woww!
Oh, Hell no!
Holy cow...not a chance.
Never had a fear of elevators, and then a couple of weeks ago the power went out in my building and I was stuck for a little while. Discovering that the emergency light and phone line both work was definitely a bonus.
This is seriously so cool! I'd love to try this.
Not a chance in hell. I am absolutely terrified of heights! Can't even walk up a spiral staircase without sweating, and it only gts worse as I get older.
oh good lord lol I might have to have a few predinner cocktails but I think it would be fun!
I felt fear just glancing at this post...Holy Sh*t! so dang scared of heights, yet I do rollercoasters...Weird? Do you mind if I re-post this on my blog? Thx, Jen
ohmygosh NO! ahhhh! no! I'm getting all tingly and freaked out just looking at it. Apparently, I'm a wimp.
What a neat way to enjoy a meal. I'd love to try it but I think I'd have to stay away from the wine for that meal!
Oh, with my fear of height I can't even really look at those photos. The idea is great though, I bet there are a lot of people willing to try it :)
OMG! Wish I could try it one day.
OMG! Wish I could try it one day.
i am WAY too afraid of heights for this. i would be vomiting the food as i ate.
those photos are incredible, but they seriously make me sick just to look at them. I could never do that!
WHOA ! ! ! ! there is just no way i could do this. what if you dropped your fork? or worse, had to go to the bathroom…hahahahah:)
wow, very cool, but I don't think I could handle it. haha
I did this twice last year during the Edinburgh fringe - typical scottish weather it was over cast but we went up with the owner by chance for his birthday brilliant all we could drink Champers right under the castle. Great fun though just don't look down!!
Honestly, with my luck I'd probably drop my fork or maybe a drink or two. :)
This is amazing! I would totally try this but unfortunately, my hubby wouldn't dare either! Maybe we could go together?
This is MY kinda dinner party!!!!!

We had this in Finland too, last summer. I was working up there as a waitress - absolutely loved it! I got to stand in the middle and also move around a bit. Obviously, I'm not that afraid of hights. :) It was a little challenging though, as there wasn't that much space for the empty plates and stuff..
I was able to go up there a handful of times. It was a really cool experience of a lifetime!
