Revolving restaurants were all the rage just a decade ago, almost a must-have on every city's "To Build" list. While the craze has toned down, they retain much of their appeal as a good venue for corporate dinners and receptions as they almost always provide the best 360-degree views of the city. Mix takes a look at a few:
DANUBE TOWER
At the Donauturm, everything is centered around the delicate Viennese cooking. The restaurant rotates with original Viennese tidbits such as Viennese grilled chicken, boiled rump or our variety of specialty roast beefs. The charming, warm furnishing makes the establishment feel welcoming and intimate, perfect for small-scale private events.
