Aroma Restaurant, 1 Michelin Star in Rome
If you like your dinner with a side of old-world Rome, add this one to your list. With views over Piazza Navona and the city's historic rooftops, the setting is already doing its thing before the food even arrives.
Terrazza Borromini
Athens, dinner, and the Acropolis in the background. Need I say more? 😍 Save this one for your travel wishlist if you're dreaming of a rooftop evening with a seriously beautiful view.

A rooftop garden above London's busy streets? That little escape from the city rush sounds lovely. Come for French dining and skyline views, and enjoy the feeling of having found a little pocket of calm above all the hustle.
Coq d'Argent
Madrid from above looks pretty good, doesn't it? Save this rooftop for Mediterranean food, open-sky views and one of those sunset plans that deserves more than a quick phone photo.
Azotea del Circulo
For when the skyline deserves a seat at the table too. Mikla pairs contemporary Anatolian cuisine with sweeping views across Istanbul. Add it to your dream-dinner list if you're after somewhere that feels a little extra special.

Okay, imagine having dinner and the Eiffel Tower is just… THERE. Les Ombres is made for the kind of evening where the view deserves just as much attention as the food. Definitely one for the Paris dream list.
Les Ombres
Asia & The Middle East
This is the kind of rooftop where you might spend half the evening saying, “Wait, look at that view!” instead of talking. 😂 Sirocco sits high above Bangkok, with the city lights and river stretching out below. Tell me that wouldn't make dinner memor...
Sirocco
If Singapore's skyline is already on your travel mood board, put this one on the list. Dining high above Marina Bay with the city spread out around you? Very much a “let me take one more picture” situation.
CÉ LA VI Singapore
Dubai really knows how to do a view. From high above Palm Jumeirah, SUSHISAMBA brings together sweeping sea and skyline panoramas with Japanese, Brazilian and Peruvian-inspired flavours. That's a lot to take in, in the best way.
SUSHISAMBA Dubai
That Burj Khalifa backdrop? Yes, please. Save this one for a Dubai evening when you want dinner to feel like an occasion, not just another reservation. The city views are a pretty convincing reason to dress up.

Africa's Elevated Dining Experiences
A Nairobi recommendation had to make the list! 🇰🇪❤️ The View's revolving restaurant gives you a 360-degree look at the city while you eat, so the scenery changes while you stay in your seat. City views with a little plot twist.
The View
Cape Town really showed up with the views. Utopia's elevated setting brings together city, harbour and mountain scenery. Save this one for a special evening when you want the landscape to steal the show.
Utopia Cape Town
A rooftop in Marrakech, atmospheric lighting and views across the old medina? This one sounds like an evening straight out of a travel movie. Save it for when you want food, atmosphere and scenery all wrapped into one lovely plan.
Le Foundouk Restaurant & Rooftop
The Americas
Chicago's skyline, Millennium Park and Lake Michigan all in the picture? This rooftop has a lot going for it. The glass atrium and terrace make it a lovely one to bookmark for your Chicago itinerary. Just imagine the photos.
Cindy's Rooftop
Tapas, skyline views and mountains in the distance? Denver understood the assignment. El Five is one to save for an evening when you want to snack, sip something lovely and watch the city from above.
El Five
São Paulo goes on and on, and this is a place to appreciate just how enormous the city is. High above the streets, Terraço Itália pairs an elevated dining experience with panoramic city views. Definitely worth bookmarking for a future Brazil trip
