Altitude 28 Sky Bar and Restaurant, set to become the highest restaurant in Wales with sweeping views of Swansea Bay, has provided an exciting update on its progress. Located on the 29th floor of Wales’ tallest residential building, the former Grape and Olive restaurant will now be known as Altitude 28 Sky Bar and Restaurant. Anticipation has been steadily growing since the announcement earlier this year, and the team behind the project has shared that it is in the final stages of completion despite facing challenges during the construction of an additional kitchen.
The official opening date of the restaurant will be revealed in the next two weeks, but bookings are already being accepted for Beaujolais Day on Thursday, November 21, a significant date in Swansea’s social calendar. The venue expressed gratitude for the community’s support and patience throughout the process, emphasizing their dedication to delivering a top-notch experience. The restaurant, once a popular spot for celebrations and special occasions, abruptly closed its doors in early 2023, and the upcoming reopening has generated much excitement among locals.
Phil Lake, the owner of Meridian Quay Ltd which owns the building, previously shared that the takeover of the space followed Brains surrendering its lease after 12 years. The new head chef at Altitude 28, Nicky Jones, has been hailed as a talented chef with a knack for crafting innovative dishes and a wealth of culinary expertise. As a family-run business, Altitude 28 Sky Bar and Restaurant aims to meet and exceed expectations, promising a memorable dining experience for visitors.
The journey to revitalise the iconic restaurant in the sky has been a community effort, with the project receiving widespread support from eager patrons. The team is eager to share the official opening date and welcome guests back to enjoy the stunning views and delectable dishes that Altitude 28 will soon offer. Stay tuned for more updates as Altitude 28 Sky Bar and Restaurant prepares to unveil its new chapter atop Swansea’s skyline.
