Restaurants with a view
Our top restaurants with a view.
Want to eat well and enjoy a beautiful view? We have researched the best restaurants in the world for you, where you can not only enjoy excellent food, but also an extraordinary view. It doesn't always have to be high up, just the unobstructed view of an impressive building or a spectacular landscape can make a visit to a restaurant an unforgettable experience.
Incidentally, the Restaurant Rankings Gourmet Club also visits restaurants with a view for joint club dinners. In June 2025, as part of a gourmet trip to San Sebastian, we are organising an evening at the Akelarre*** restaurant with spectacular views over the Bay of Biscay. If you are interested, you can find our current annual programme here.
