We all love to head out for the evening, meet up with friends and family and spend the night indulging in good food and drink. It’s probably safe to say that for the most of us this means popping down to your local high street or shopping center. As convenient as these locations are, they rarely offer much in the way of stunning or amazing views whilst you dine. There are however restaurants which have the ‘amazing view’ box ticked. Some, it must be said are on the pricy side, but not all. We’ve put together a list of a few restaurants situated around the world that stand out for the location and the views they therefore afford.
