Sometimes a skyline view can take your breath away. The same can be claimed of a restaurant dish that delights the palate. Bring the two elements together and add a little 'jus ' and you have something extremely special. Not a great deal of restaurants would be in a position to pull diners eyes away from these outlooks and toward the plate but these 5 restaurants somehow manage to do that. Each is found in a city that's worldwide known for its cuisine, yet these restaurants somehow manage to stand out by brilliantly complimenting the world-class views with top flight food. Artfully created to work together with their city surroundings these 5 restaurants are the ultimate fusion of location and passion. So chill and enjoy the feast. Dining gifts not just for your taste buds.
The Loeb Boathouse Central Park, Manhattan
The ultimate Valentines Day destination. Nowhere in NY is more romantic than Central Park in snowfall. Nearly every seat in this restaurant (and the little free standing bar) has a view across The Lake. When reserving, be absolutely sure to ask for a "front row" alongside the floor-to-ceiling glass windows. Being Big Apple, the signature Boathouse burger is unbeatable.
Oxo Tower Restaurant & Brasserie, London
You got to be doing something rather extraordinary in the kitchen to be able to match these sights across the River Thames toward St Paul's Cathedral and the City. Continuing invention has been the main ingredient to success at this London dining institution. Mixing a modern twist on classic English cuisine with the experience of the Harvey Nichols team this is a must-visit food lover destination.
Le Jules Verne, Paris
Does it get any more French? Ignore the fact that Alain Ducasse is now a resident of Monaco. Perched on the second level of the iconic Eiffel Tower with unique sights of Paris, a menu that celebrates the country's culinary practices and a cook that is associated with the French (gastronomic) Revolution. Jules Verne is the pinnacle of Parisian cuisine. Just be sure to book a table online at least a quarter of a year ahead of time.
Aria, Sydney
Nesting on a majestic harbor with top class beaches, Sydney is a place built to inspire. With its sights across both the Harbour Bridge and just opposite the Opera House Aria does just that. Matt Moran's restaurant has been a landmark for over 10 years thanks not only to its views but outstanding food, alert service and one of the most comprehensive wine-lists in the city.
Felix, HKHK
Situated on the 28th floor of the Peninsula Hotel and created by Philippe Starck this restaurant is stellar. Sweeping views across Hong Kong's neon skyline and Kowloon are perfectly showcased by floor-to-ceiling windows whilst the contemporary menu makes classy use of its vicinity to the ocean. Book a table early and enjoy irresistible sights of Hong Kong's nightly 8pm laser and light show.
