Dinner in the Sky Mexico - Pre-Opening Day (LosReciosTV)

How about this for dinner with a difference? Diners are hoisted high up in the sky to enjoy aerial views of Mexico City while they eat.

The 'restaurant' is made using a 130-ton crane and an 8-ton platform which has a mini kitchen and seats for 22 people. The crane lifts the special platform - which has a roof over it - up into the sky while the chefs prepare the food.

"When it's being lifted up, if you turn your head down, it can be a little scary," said diner Yuri Espinoza. "But once you're up there, it doesn't move at all. Everything is amazing, The wine, food, the chef."

Restaurants like this first appeared in Brussels and the idea has spread to 45 other cities. Sky dining can be experienced in Colombia, Argentina and Brazil, but this is the first time for Mexico.
