When you think of fine dining, you picture an elaborate setting, in a cozy intimate locale, right? Instead, imagine being seated high above the ground - peering fifty feet below you while dining alongside twenty one other guests. This is Dinner in the Sky, a concept that first gained popularity in Belgium before being introduced to Canada in 2008. “As an event producer for more than 10 years, I was immediately convinced the Dinner in the Sky concept would work in the Canadian market the very first time I tried it. It’s a new concept here in Canada and our market is ready for this,”says Jean-François Grenier, president Dinner in the Sky Canada and Altitude Concepts, the consulting firm that brought the idea to Canada.
So, you might be thinking, how safe is this? To accomplish this feat, each guest is strapped to their seats via three seatbelts, (formula 1 racers use this). A one hundred twenty tonne crane, with a capacity twenty five times more than the table itself, hoists up the entire structure - guests, servers and dining table.
Most importantly, for epicureans however is the food. "Everyone should have Dinner in the Sky once in their lifetime. At 50 metres off the ground, all our senses are heightened for what will become the culinary experience of a lifetime. Imagine your taste buds literally being in seventh heaven,” says Grenier.Dinner in the Sky is literally taking dining to new heights.
