Located on the peak of the summit of the UAE's mount Jebel Jais, 'The Peak of Luxury' was an appropriately named pop-up restaurant celebrating the launch of a new car. Hosted and established by Bentley, The Peak of Luxury showcased a menu of classic British dishes with a Middle Eastern twist created by chef Colin Clague. The luxury dining room was accessible through winding hills and was positioned 1,934 meters above sea level.
The pop-up was open for just seven days and was established to celebrate the all-new Continental GT and the Bentley Bentayga V8 luxury SUV. The space was modeled and styled as an Arabic tent and was meant to reflect "the sheer levels of bespoke luxury Bentley delivers."
