Dangling, death-defying diners are strapped into seats and slowly winced up to the heavens to enjoy their meal with one of the best views in the world.
Dining in the Sky's Matthew Anderson was still locking in dates for the floating noshery's Perth debut but said the hovering restaurant would be appearing among the clouds off the South Perth foreshore in March.
He said there would be six "flights" per day, which would involve brunch, lunches, cocktails and dinners.
"Dinners are canapés and champagne on arrival and then guests are taken 60 metres above the ground to what can only be described as the world's most unique dining experience," he told WAtoday.
"The chairs pivot 180 degrees left and right and every eight minutes will pivot the crane so peoples' amazing views keep changing."
Mr Anderson said the food wasn't some pie-in-the-sky experience, with some of Perth's top chefs serving up exquisite gastro fare.
"We will have chefs like Brendan Pratt and Chris Taylor (Fraser's), who will bring their own personality to the food," he said.
"A lot of the food like the beef and seafood will be from WA."
Only 22 diners can head up in one flight, with brunch costing $225, lunch $295 and dinner $395.
The longest time diners will be left dangling in the air is 90 minutes and anyone who gets a nose bleed while noshing up can be back on terra firma in just one minute.
Mr Anderson said there has been more than 100,000 flights around the world since the floating restaurant began in Belgium more than 10 years ago and there hadn't been one accident.
"We have operated in a lightning storm and an earthquake in Japan," he laughed.
And when it comes to overcoming the logistical nightmare of going to the toilet, diners will just have to book a flight to solve that mystery.
Mr Anderson said there are plans to float Dining in the Sky at other venues around WA but he was keeping that a secret at the moment.
