Uppity eating: 10 London eateries with bird's-eye views

不知天高地厚的飲食:10倫敦餐館與鳥瞰圖

These vertiginous restaurants take dining in the British capital to giddy new heights

The opening of the first restaurant in the Shard, the tallest building in the European Union as of early this year, has upped the ante in the London altitude dining stakes.

One company, Dinner in the Sky, takes the concept to perhaps its ultimate conclusion: guests are strapped into their seats around a table and hoisted 100 feet into the air by crane.

There chefs prepare a meal for them in situ from a central kitchen area. 

But you needn't risk spilling your aperitif onto gawkers below to enjoy elevated eating in the British capital. There are plenty of more comfortable indoor options.

Beginning with the Obelix at the Shard, we take the measure of 10 of the best -- and most thrilling -- uppity eateries in London.

1. Oblix

3. Oblix, London diningOblix -- worthy of a few asterisks?
The first restaurant to open in The Shard, Oblix has a New York-inspired rotisserie theme -- a departure for founder Rainer Becker, whose previous restaurants, Zuma and Roka, have both been Japanese.

On the lofty 32nd floor of the Shard, the EU's new tallest building, the restaurant is sandwiched between two other eateries, Aqua at The Shard on the 31st floor and Hutong on the 33rd, both to open later this year.

Oblix, 32/F, The Shard, 31 St. Thomas St., London; +44 (0)20 7268 6700; open daily 10 a.m.-midnight

 2. Duck & Waffle

1. Duck & WaffleCute name, serious eating.
The Shard may be the tallest building in London -- and the EU -- but Oblix isn't the highest restaurant.

That honor belongs to the curiously named Duck & Waffle, situated at 185 meters above ground on the 40th floor of the Heron Tower. Open 24/7, the restaurant serves a mix of British and European dishes.

One floor down is its sister restaurant, Sushi Samba, which blends Japanese, Brazilian and Peruvian flavours and offers the highest al fresco dining option in the capital.
