Prices range from £50 per head for breakfast to £75 for champagne and canapés, £200 for lunch and £250 for dinner.
Atul Kochhar, of Indian-British fusion restaurant Benares said: “London is one of the greatest cities in the world and we are now being recognised as a leading culinary hub as well. London in the Sky marries our famous skyline with our highly respected food and it was an opportunity we absolutely couldn’t pass up. We can’t wait to get cooking up there.”
Dale Agar of Events in the Sky, added: “Having enjoyed a successful run on the continent we are very excited to offer Londoners the opportunity to enjoy their fantastic restaurant scene up amongst some of the most iconic skyscrapers. This event is going to be extraordinary.”
