Spectacular views are something that many restaurants around the Maltese Islands can boast, but nothing beats being suspended over 100 feet up in the air while you feast on some of the highest-rated food in the country.

For the third consecutive year, Dinner In The Sky returned to Malta this summer, this time taking to the even more central location of Manoel Island. With Valletta on one side and Marsamxett Harbour on the other, the dining experience lit up Maltese social media over the last couple of months.

Now, with the end of September marking the end of Dinner In The Sky for 2018, here’s a look back at this summer… thanks to some gorgeous Instagram snaps.

1. Malta’s late sunsets made for some awesome sightseeing in between dishes

2. Just remember to pack a pair of sunglasses!

3. Nothing beats a glass of wine in the sky as the sun goes down

4. Manoel Island’s luna park looks even more colourful

5. And Valletta on the other side isn’t too shabby either

6. It might be dinner, but add a bit of a music, and DITS becomes its very own party

8. Adding a bit of adrenaline rush to a romantic evening

9. Marina views for days

10. #SelfieGoals

11. It might look precarious

12. But there’s still plenty of room for precision plating

13. And the real star of the night is always the food

14. As always, head chef Marvin Gauci is at the heart of it all

15. Fireworks look even more magical when you’re up in the air

16. And make for the ultimate profile picture backdrop
