On the top of the historical Misir Building, the name of this restaurant and bar refers to the wondrous panoramic views you can enjoy as part of your dining experience.

The cocktails have been paired with the dessert menu for double deliciousness. This bar and eatery has ambiance and quality, but is also imbued with a real sense of fun. Drinks like Bomb Baby, made from vodka, fresh watermelon, mint and cardamom, along with a pizza such as Bollywood that combines tikka chicken, caramelised onion, peppers, tomato and mozzarella, will have your night off to a flying start.
The Press Lounge, New York

The assorted salumi plate with mustard and a sliced baguette is a simple and delicious accompaniment for a glass of red such as the Deep Sea Merlot, California. If you feel like splashing out and ordering yourself a cocktail or two, there is a great selection. The American Issue is made from Templeton rye whiskey, Captain Morgan spice, and a cherry herring float – marvellous!
