It’s been quite a mission for us to get back into work mode this week, right?
For some, the festive spirit still lingers, and if you find yourself tapping your feet to a festive beat playing in the back of your mind, it’s okay, you’re still allowed to feel it for all of January.
If you’re among the lucky few still able to go out and have a ball, we’ve got some exciting events lined up for you in your neck of the woods.
If you haven’t experienced Sky Dining at the Higher Ground Restaurant in Bryanston, then what are you waiting for?
This is a unique and interesting dining concept, not only offering amazing cuisine, but also the best views in the City of Gold, Jozi.
If you’re looking to kick off 2023 on a high note (excuse the pun) then this is the event you don’t want to miss. Experience high dining 30.48m off the ground along with incredible views of the Sandton skyline.
You might not want to do this one if you’re afraid of heights but this is a thrilling dining concept, offering not only amazing cuisine, but also the opportunity to do something unusual and unique in the city.
The Sky Dining events take place every Saturday, catering for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
This experience costs between R575 and R995 per person, depending on which option you pick. Contact them at 084 449 6040 or via email at [email protected] to book now.
