Now this is what you call 'haute cuisine': World's highest restaurant opens in Dubai a dizzying 1,350ft from the ground

* At.mosphere is on the 122nd floor of the world's tallest building
* The most expensive item on the menu is a £100 Maine lobster
* It takes a minute in the elevator to reach the restaurant
The French are renowned for their haute cuisine, which literally means 'high cooking', but in Dubai developers have taken it to another level.
The world's highest restaurant opened its doors yesterday... and it's a dizzying 1,350 feet (422 metres) from the ground - not ideal for vertigo sufferers.
At.mosphere, as it has been named, can be found - via a minute-long elevator ride in a private chrome and glass lift - on the 122nd floor of the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa.
Two floors below the observation deck and furnished with mahogany-panelled rooms and cosy leather booths, the neck-craning restaurant is breath-taking in more than one sense.
