feasting one's eyes
Savoring the view
To feast one's eyes is to gaze at something with deep pleasure or admiration, taking in visual beauty as if consuming a satisfying meal: We feasted our eyes on the mountain vista.
The phrase usually takes "on" and implies lingering appreciation rather than a quick glance.
