Suspended 50 metres above the ground, diners will soon be able to enjoy an unparalleled fine-dining experience, taking in panoramic views of the iconic Waterloo battlefield.
The exciting new event is part of the renowned global dining sensation, ‘Dinner in the Sky,’ which has captured the imagination of food lovers and thrill-seekers alike for nearly two decades.
Co-created by Brussels resident David Ghysels, the ‘Dinner in the Sky’ concept started as a simple marketing idea but quickly evolved into an international phenomenon.
Founded in 2006, Ghysels’ Brussels-based company has expanded the concept to over 60 countries, bringing the experience of eating suspended high above the ground to people all over the world.
The concept has gained attention for its dramatic and unique nature. A crane lifts a platform with diners, chefs, and staff into the sky, allowing guests to enjoy their meals while overlooking some of the world’s most iconic landmarks.
From the shores of Bali to Dubai’s towering skyscrapers, the suspended restaurants have been spotted in front of renowned sights, including the Octávio Frias de Oliviera bridge in São Paulo and the urban landscapes of Las Vegas.
The latest location—above the historic site of Waterloo—promises to add another layer of intrigue to the already exciting dining experience.
The experience itself is nothing short of spectacular. Guests are seated at a 22-person table, securely fastened in place as a crane gently lifts them into the air.
A team of professional chefs prepares the meal on-site, with the full menu offering gourmet dishes that reflect local and international culinary traditions.
A dedicated staff ensures that the dining experience runs smoothly, offering guests impeccable service throughout their meal. Waterloo, a place synonymous with history, is sure to provide an unforgettable backdrop for this thrilling dining experience.
The site is best known for being the location of the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, where Napoleon Bonaparte was decisively defeated, marking the end of his rule.
With its rich historical significance and beautiful surrounding landscape, the battlefield offers an ideal setting for a dining experience that combines modern luxury with timeless history.
Ghysels, whose company pioneered the concept, has seen the ‘Dinner in the Sky’ concept grow beyond its Belgian roots to become a global sensation.
Over the years, the experience has been featured in numerous high-profile events, including international festivals, corporate gatherings, and private functions.
Guests not only enjoy a one-of-a-kind culinary experience but also have the chance to admire stunning aerial views that few will ever experience in their lifetime.
For Ghysels, the success of ‘Dinner in the Sky’ is a testament to the innovative nature of the concept. He believes that offering diners a chance to experience a meal at dizzying heights creates a sense of excitement and adventure that traditional dining cannot provide.
With its expansion into numerous global markets, the concept has evolved into an aspirational event, attracting attention from the world’s top chefs and celebrities alike.
As ‘Dinner in the Sky’ prepares to elevate the dining experience above Waterloo, it continues to push boundaries, blending food, adventure, and the thrill of heights into one unforgettable experience.
Whether you are a local resident or a tourist visiting Belgium, this high-flying restaurant is sure to become a must-do for anyone seeking a truly unique and exhilarating dining experience.
