As you can expect,\u00a0Vertigo boasts jaw-dropping views, so you can dine on fork-tender seafood and premium steaks while feasting your eyes on Bangkok’s vast skyline,\u00a061 floors above the city.\u00a0It is worth arriving a bit early at Vertigo for a pre-dinner cocktail so you can catch a glimpse of Thailand’s capital\u00a0during daylight and dusk (the restaurant opens at 5 pm).<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n High atop the cliffs of Big Sur, offering breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, is Sierra Mar, the signature restaurant of the Post Ranch Inn Hotel<\/a> and winner of Wine Spectator\u2019s prestigious Grand Award.

Floor-to-ceiling windows look out on the city\u2019s neon skyline, Victoria Harbour ships, and the bustling shopping district of Kowloon. The contemporary menu features fresh seasonal dishes such as crab salad and tuna tartar with dandelion salad, slow-cooked sea bass with black shrimp mousse, and grilled Australian lamb.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Dining at\u00a0‘Un Piano Nel Cielo’, the gourmet\u00a0restaurant of hotel Casa Angelina<\/a>\u00a0on the Amalfi Coast,\u00a0reflects the unique personality of the Chef, Vincenzo Vanacore, who creatively communicates through\u00a0his cuisine his love for fresh produce and culinary traditions which culminates in innovations and culinary delights. The rooftop restaurant with its breathtaking terrace suspended between sky and sea, is the perfect setting to experience\u00a0a certain Italian-style ‘art de vivre’ with views of Europe’s most spectacular stretch of coast.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Located atop the ‘875 North Michigan Avenue<\/a>‘ supertall skyscraper – formerly known as the\u00a0John Hancock Center –\u00a0the Signature Room at the 95th floor offers exquisite a la carte\u00a0food and dazzling skyline views. The elegant wood designs and art deco interior create an inviting and intimate atmosphere, while the floor-to-ceiling windows exhibit breathtaking\u00a0Chicago skyline views and 360 degree views of the entire city and Lake Michigan. While requests cannot be guaranteed, ask for a window table facing the southwest for the most spectacular city views (towards the Willis Tower).<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Guests and visitors flock to Dasheene –\u00a0Ladera Resort<\/a>‘s signature fine dining restaurant – to enjoy award-winning cuisine and\u00a0the spectacular views of the Pitons and the turquoise Caribbean Sea.\u00a0Chef\u00a0Nigel Mitchel’s cooking renders stylish interpretations of traditional St. Lucian dishes, such as sweet potato and coconut soup, Caribbean lamb salad, roast conch with pickled vegetables served in a yam basket, Cajun Creole vegetable bakes, jerk poulet sausage, plantain gratin with coconut rum sauce and more.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n From its perch on the Eiffel Tower\u2019s second level, 410 feet (125 m) above the ground, Le Jules Verne\u00a0offers expansive views of the City of Light. Guests of the restaurant look out over wide boulevards and slate gray rooftops at lunchtime, or go in the evening to observe Paris\u2019s twinkling lights. The menu<\/a>\u00a0reflects the revered culinary traditions of France, but celebrity chef Alain Ducasse\u2019s team brings a modern touch to classic recipes. For example, sea bass is cooked in its caramelized juices with just a splash of cream added at the end to intensify the flavor and lighten the dish. The wine list is 100 percent French.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The\u00a0Six Senses Zighy Bay<\/a>\u00a0Resort, located on the northern Musandam Peninsula in the Sultanate of Oman, has beautiful indigenous village-style accommodations in a spectacular setting, with the dramatic mountains on one side and the sandy beach of Zighy Bay on the other.
