I’m afraid of heights, but I went… and I loved it, because it’s an absolutely extraordinary and exclusive experience .
I confess that just thinking about the idea of having a meal 50 meters above the ground gave me chills— the kind of feeling you get if you’re afraid of heights.
The truth is, it turned out to be the most thrilling “experience” I’ve ever had in Lisbon; perhaps because I’m also someone who loves adrenaline and pushing my limits.
If you’re in the same situation as me, then don’t even think twice; buckle up and get ready to enjoy Chef Chakall’s food, but especially one of the best views of our beautiful city.

What is the SKY LOUNGE experience?
The SKY LOUNGE is the latest aerial experience you can enjoy in Lisbon.
It’s a 22-seat platform that rises 50 meters via a crane specially designed for this type of event , and once you’re up there, you’ll be served the finest cuisine from some of the country’s top chefs.
This experience will tour the country, stopping in Lisbon, Aveiro, Porto, and the Algarve (city to be announced), with the first sessions taking place on May 29, 30, and 31, for both lunch and dinner.
Chef Chakall will be the guest for the Lisbon edition, wherehe will take the helm of a live cooking show and an original tasting menu paired with wines, allowing guests to follow every detail of the preparation while enjoying a 360-degree panoramic view of the city and the Tagus River.
Anyone who manages to book one of these “aerial tables” at sunset is sure to have an even more memorable experience.
As the crane carrying the SKY LOUNGE experience travels across our country, other chefs will be invited. The dates for the upcoming Sky Sessions will be announced soon, but the chefs have already been selected:
- Ricardo Costa, Executive Chef at The Yeatman and holder of two Michelin stars, will take the helm of this “aerial kitchen” in Porto;
- Noélia Jerónimo, star chef at the Cabanas de Tavira restaurant, will be in the Algarve (at a location yet to be determined)
- Tony Martins, named Chef of the Year in 2020, will be present at the Aveiro edition.
For Francisco C. Mendonça, Founder & CEO of SKY LOUNGE,
“We want to create a pioneering experience that combines gastronomy and entertainment with a privileged view of some of the country’s most iconic cities. More than just a meal, it’s a complete sensory experience, which will be available in Portugal only during these limited editions.”
