Dinner in the Sky Comes to Toronto

Posted by Mary Luz Mejia Jun 30, 2008

When I saw that the dining craze known as "Dinner in the Sky" (which was started in Belgium by a creative entrepreneur) was coming to Toronto - I signed up ASAP! I'd seen incredible photographs of the Dinner in the Sky event held in Cape Town, South Africa via the Internet (three inbox messages from different people around the world no less!)- ah the power of viral marketing at it's best because I can tell you, I'm intrigued!

Toronto may not have ocean and a rugged coastline to brag about, but we do have our own sparkling city lights to hold our attention. This Wednesday, I'll be joining other dinner companions as we're lifted by crane in the downtown core at Dundas Square to enjoy the culinary delights of some of our city's best chefs.

The details so far: it will be a one hour experience (so yes, going to the bathroom before hand is essential), we'll savour three courses in the sky, and I believe shoes that strap on (no sling backs) are du rigeur should you loose a mule in mid-meal. I have few precious details right now but will be reporting back on how the whole experience played out and what the food was like of course (one of the biggest draws for me, no matter where I'm eating!).

It seems that this Dinner in the Sky concept is one of those dining trends that is still as popular as it was when I first read about it years ago. And who knows- maybe it will make a pit stop in your city next! Click here to read all about the lifting experience!
