The World's Highest Restaurant Is Open For Business

Read in app

The highest restaurant in the world, on the 122nd floor of the Burj Khalifa, is open.

Patrons there can enjoy food and drink a mindboggling 1,350 feet above the ground.

The restaurant, At.mosphere, has floor-to-ceiling windows and was designed by well-known restaurant decorator Adam Tihany.

The menu is heavy on meat dishes, such as Wagyu beef tartare and Australian salt bush lamb.

If heights make you queasy, this is probably one restaurant to avoid.

Update: a spokesperson for the restaurant has informed us that At.mosphere has been open for business since January (not about to open, as previously stated).
