All world-famous restaurants due to the great heights at which dinner is served. Dining in these restaurants is special, as the height can reach over 400 meters.<br \/>\nBut imagine going much higher, up to 2.5 kilometers into the sky. Enjoying the finest flavor combinations, a culinary experience of the highest level at great heights. In a restaurant that offers dizzyingly beautiful views. It\u2019s possible, and you don\u2019t have to go to Las Vegas, Hong Kong, or New York. The highest restaurant in the world is located in the Netherlands and is aptly named CuliAir.<\/p>\n<p>CuliAir is a restaurant located in a hot air balloon. While the chef prepares the most beautiful dishes live, you gently ascend to a height where the <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><a style=\"color: #ff6600;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.culiair.de\/en\/fotogalerij\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">views<\/a><\/span> are as unique as they are spectacular.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.culiair.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Spectaculair-uit-eten.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15751\" src=\"https:\/\/www.culiair.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Spectaculair-uit-eten.jpeg\" alt=\"Spectacular Dining\" width=\"815\" height=\"543\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.culiair.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Spectaculair-uit-eten.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.culiair.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Spectaculair-uit-eten-500x333.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/www.culiair.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Spectaculair-uit-eten-700x466.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/www.culiair.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Spectaculair-uit-eten-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.culiair.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Spectaculair-uit-eten-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.culiair.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Spectaculair-uit-eten-800x533.jpeg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 815px) 100vw, 815px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>The Only Hot Air Balloon Restaurant in the World<\/h2>\n<p>Though we are known as the low countries, this Dutch first comes from an unprecedented height. Never before has a restaurant been established in a hot air balloon. For the first time in history, it\u2019s possible to dine at altitudes up to 2.5 kilometers.<br \/>\nThe basket of the hot air balloon is set up as a restaurant. The tables are beautifully set with linen napkins, real glass, and china. And to top it off, the restaurant even features a real sky bar. There, you can enjoy a glass of wine while taking in the best views the Netherlands has to offer.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.culiair.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Spectaculair-dineren-in-hete-luchtballon.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15753\" src=\"https:\/\/www.culiair.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Spectaculair-dineren-in-hete-luchtballon.jpg\" alt=\"Spectacular dining in a hot air balloon\" width=\"471\" height=\"353\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.culiair.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Spectaculair-dineren-in-hete-luchtballon.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.culiair.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Spectaculair-dineren-in-hete-luchtballon-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.culiair.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Spectaculair-dineren-in-hete-luchtballon-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.culiair.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Spectaculair-dineren-in-hete-luchtballon-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.culiair.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Spectaculair-dineren-in-hete-luchtballon-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.culiair.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Spectaculair-dineren-in-hete-luchtballon-800x600.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 471px) 100vw, 471px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Per dinner, the hot air balloon travels up to 30 kilometers, navigating between different altitudes. To achieve this, the air in the hot air balloon is heated. This heat is also used to cook the dishes at a constant temperature of about 90 degrees, using specially developed steel baskets at the top of the balloon. This creates a hot air oven that keeps the balloon at the right height while slowly cooking fish, meat, and poultry.<\/p>\n<h2>A Michelin-Star Dinner Between Heaven and Earth<\/h2>\n<p>It feels almost surreal when so many senses are stimulated simultaneously. As you enjoy an incredible view, your nose fills with the wonderful cooking aromas.

While you enjoy the ever-changing landscape around you, the chef prepares a lobster cocktail live. After about half an hour of floating, a special moment occurs when the special wire baskets with sea bass, lamb, and chicken are retrieved from the balloon.<\/p>\n<p>The dishes are presented one by one with delicious sauces and garnishes. And while you enjoy this taste sensation, the balloon drifts towards the setting sun.<\/p>\n<h2>Heavenly Enjoyment for a Special Occasion<\/h2>\n<p>A Michelin-star dinner in a real hot air balloon restaurant is an experience that suits a special occasion but can also make any occasion special. Skydining is a popular way to celebrate anniversaries, corporate events, and birthdays.<br \/>\nThe moment the ropes are untied and the hot air balloon ascends provides the opportunity to calmly get used to the height and take in the changing landscape. The setting sun and the silence at great height offer a unique and romantic backdrop for a heavenly experience. While the unknown destination and landing offer an exciting and boundary-pushing adventure. The entire experience makes every occasion special.<\/p>\n<h2>Extraordinary Dining in the Netherlands: An Unforgettable Experience and a Story to Tell<\/h2>\n<p>It is undoubtedly one of the experiences you will never forget. When you have experienced the Netherlands from above with the finest wines and the most delicious dishes, it\u2019s a story worth telling.<br \/>\nFrom the moment the ropes are untied, the balloon floats through the clouds, and the sun shines towards you, you experience a boundless freedom that you can\u2019t experience anywhere else.
