The Hungarian State Opera House – Budapest
An agreement between the Hungarian State Opera House and Budapest’s Four Seasons Hotel means that a lucky few guests have the possibility of enjoying a candle-lit meal for two on the stage of the incredible opera house. What’s more, guests also have the option of having a live orchestra perform while they eat. This extravagance doesn’t come cheap though, with the prices for the exclusive meal starting at around £60,000!
The Cliff At Cap – St Lucia
Every table at the Cliff At Cap in St Lucia offers incredible sea views but the restaurants real highlight is the wooden deck, built right at the edge of the sea.

Eagle’s Eye Restaurant – Canada
At 7,700 feet above sea level, the Eagle’s Eye is undoubtedly the highest restaurant on this list and offers diners incredible views of the snow-capped peaks of the Rocky Mountains. The restaurant can only be reached by a 15 minute gondola ride but the views at the top are more than worth the trip.
Ristorante Aroma – Rome
Rome is known as one of the most romantic cities on the planet and nowhere is this more apparent than sitting in the Ristorante Aroma. The rooftop eatery is located right in the heart of the city and offers incredible views of the famous Colosseum, as well as the rest of Rome’s wonderful skyline.
The Tides Restaurant – Barbados
The Tides is not only one of the top restaurants in Barbados but also one of the most romantic. Guests get to gaze out across the Caribbean Sea while enjoying seafood dishes with Asian touches.
