Restaurant

The VEŽA restaurant closed in May 2010 due to a lack of customers. The restaurant's chefs and staff moved to the West Restaurant at the Best Western West Hotel about down the tower approach road. In 2011, a new restaurant named Altitude opened with an updated interior, serving Mediterranean cuisine. The restaurant is divided into an observation cafe bar, another restaurant, Brasseria, on one floor and the main restaurant on the floor below with rotating tables which provide a 360-degree panoramic view.
