Macau gaming operator Melco Resorts & Entertainment is reportedly set to introduce the renowned “Dinner in the Sky” dining experience.
According to local Macau media outlet Allin Media, this unique restaurant, to be named “Dinner in the Sky Macau,” will be located within the City of Dreams, offering diners views of the Cotai Strip.
Recent recruitment ads on mainland Chinese social media platforms have garnered attention, not only for standard requirements like height and age but also for specific physical criteria. Male applicants are expected to have “abdominal muscles” and “chest muscles,” while female applicants should be “well-proportioned” and “attractive.”
Allin Media reports that, while the restaurant will be located within City of Dreams, it will be operated by a third party. Recruitment is being handled by a travel investment company, which had previously posted job advertisements for “VIP Service Ambassadors” in late October of last year. These ads included similar requirements such as “under 35 years old,” “height of 170 cm or above,” and “no fear of heights.”
“Dinner in the Sky” is not a permanent restaurant but a globally touring dining experience created by Belgian company Events in the Sky. The restaurant is typically set up temporarily in various cities for periods ranging from a few days to a few weeks, with specific dates and locations announced by the company.
Regarding the dining experience itself, guests are required to sign a waiver before dining. After obtaining a “passport” and “boarding pass,” they prepare for their “flight.” A suspended dining table, accommodating 22 to 30 people, is lifted by a crane to a height of 40 to 50 meters (approximately 15 stories).
Guests, chefs, and service staff are all secured in their seats with safety belts, enjoying their meal high above the ground. The experience lasts approximately 1.5 to 2 hours (including ascent, descent, and dining), with an average cost of $200 to $500 per person. For restroom breaks, the crane can reportedly be lowered to provide convenience.
