Travel for these once-in-a-lifetime experiences SACHA VAN NIEKERK

Combining fine dining with food theatre and awe-inspiring scenery, these restaurants are worth travelling across the globe for Sublimotion - Ibiza, Spain About R30 000 per person Sublimotion opened its doors in 2014 on the Spanish island of Ibiza. The dining experience has been described as fantastical, futuristic, and thought-provoking eating at its finest, thanks to the innovative techniques used by Michelin 2-star chef Paco Roncero who uses molecular gastronomy along with music, lighting, ambience and food to excite all the senses. The meal features 20 different food sampling dishes and seats a maximum of 12 people at a time. Taking their patrons on a newly designed multi-sensory journey, they also have a total of 25 employees, including craftsmen, cooks, illusionists, waiters, and a plate jockey. According to the website Veebrant, there is a musical menu, choreographed service and groundbreaking technology to aid in the experience where guests feast on avant-garde cuisine in a high-tech, interactive environment dubbed “capsule,” which acts as a blank canvas ready to be changed into any scene imaginable during the event.
