Dubai opens 'world's highest restaurant'

Dubai has taken the concept of haute cuisine to new heights, with the opening of a fine-dining venue 442 metres up in the sky.

Touted by developers in the United Arab Emirates as "the world's highest restaurant", the At.mosphere lounge began seating guests on Sunday on the 122nd floor of the world's tallest building, the 828-metre Burj Khalifa.

Toronto's revolving 360 Restaurant in the CN Tower is considered by Guinness World Records authorities to have the World's Highest Wine Cellar, 351 metres above ground.

The UAE developers behind At.mosphere plan to apply to Guinness to take the title of World's Highest Restaurant.

At.mosphere can accommodate more than 210 guests and also boasts private dining rooms as well as a main dining floor, according to developers.
