Travelling Headcases: Restaurant Ikarus in Hangar 7

Steph and I travel to EAT. On our last European trip, we went to San Sebastian to dine at Mugaritz. This time, we have come to Salzburg so we can have the Red Bull Experience at Restaurant Ikarus in Hangar-7.

Each month, "the most creative, successful and sought-after international chefs in the world are invited to delight guests with their menu". For us, we were delighted by Dimitris Pamporis from Apocalypsis Restaurant in Patmos Greece. Before we talk about the food............ lets talk about Hangar-7 the building and exhibition.

"From the outside, Hangar-7 is reminiscent of a glass aircraft wing. From inside, it stretches across the Flying Bulls fleet like the vault of heaven".

On arrival at Hangar-7, we were greeted by two lovely hostesses. We only have to mentioned we have an 8pm booking and they greeted us by our names straight away. I have to admit, we were quite impressed by that. We had arrived early to check out the exhibition and have a drink at the bar. We were shown to the museum and was free to wander around and enjoy. Wow....... is all I can say.
It had everything, from the Flying Bull Planes, Helicopters, Formula One racing cars, Felix Baumgartner's carbon fibre wings, Motor Cycles and many many more............

From here, we were transported up in a glass tube elevator taking us to a jetbridge up to the ThreeSixty Bar - A pod space on the roof of the building. We both had an Austin Powers feeling on this part of the journey leading to fits of giggles !!! The whole floor and wall of this space is clear glass looking down onto the exhibition space. The only way to kick start the evening is with a couple of glasses of Bollinger Rose. I think we are in for an adventure.
