The Dinner In The Sky experience offers no walls or floor, but thrill-seeking diners are able to admire stunning views as they sip their champagne above cities like London, Paris and Las Vegas.
The unique dining experience was launched in 2006 by David Ghysels.
The 49-year-old creator and owner, from Brussels, Belgium, said: 'We thought the Dinner In The Sky would be really eye-catching.
'The set-up is very high class, we provide limousines, hostesses and every kind of food from seafood plates and champagne to gastronomic meals from Heston Blumenthal.'

The culinary delights are cooked and served by five staff, including waiters and chefs, from a space inside the table.
Dinner In The Sky debuted in Brussels eight years ago, and has since toured 45 countries, with destinations including London, Barcelona, Brussels, Dubai, Las Vegas and Paris.
For those 4ft 7in (1.4m) and above, the experience begins on the ground, where guests enjoy welcome drinks and the food is prepared.
David said: 'Once everyone is comfortably seated, we start ascending until we reach 50 metres. The chefs then continue to finish cooking the meals in front of the guests.

'Sometimes we arrange for special entertainment, such a piano session, which has its own platform next to the suspended table.'
The only element missing from this sky-high restaurant is a bathroom, but David insists he has it covered.
He said: 'Just like any other restaurant, our waiters will guide you to the bathroom. However, the difference here is the whole table is taken down too!'
The price for a seat on the table, which takes one minute to descend, starts at £200 and Dinner In The Sky is due to appear in Singapore, Egypt and Greece.
