Guests enjoy a dinner at the table “Santa in the sky” lifted by a crane and elevated at 50 meters in the air and decorated to match the appearance of a “Santa Sleigh”, as part as the Christmas festivities in Brussels, Belgium, November 25, 2016. “Santa in the Sky” is a novel twist on the Belgian capital's “Dinner in the Sky” venture, where diners and the chefs cooking for them are lifted high in the air on an open platform suspended from a construction crane. This weekend on the city's chic Sablon square shopping district, a bell-ringing Santa Claus is welcoming people aboard the “restaurant” fitted out as a sleigh decked with lights and drawn through the air by four theater-prop reindeer. Diners, who sit strapped to chairs to eat at a bar running round the open kitchen, can pay up to 250 euros ($265) for a gastronomic four-course supper with wine, or go for options starting at 55 euros for tea – of course, it's “high tea”. Free to marvel at Brussels' Flemish Renaissance grandeur and mediaeval churches, customers can savor haute cuisine from distinguished chefs, some with Michelin stars to their name. On Friday evening, Maxime Mazier's menu included a lobster and artichoke starter, line-caught sea bass with shellfish and coconut marshmallow with mango. The trick, he said, was coping with the gusts of winter night air that whip around the sleigh. (Photo by Yves Herman/Reuters)
