 | |  |  | CN tower Revolving restaurant: Not a bad view | Tip Rating:   Satisfaction:   |  |  | |  |
I had heard a lot about this restaurant, good and bad and did not really know what to expect. One thing everyone seemed to agree about was the great view. Our experience was rather good. This is a quite expensive restaurant, so I was expecting good service and hoping for appropriate food. You can go for a fixed-price menu or "a la carte", we went for the second option We started with a very nice rare seared tuna salad, served with beans, tomatoes and olives. We both love tuna and we were not dissapointed with this. I had the roast pork tenderloin with prunes and sage mashed potatoes. It was a bit to dry for my taste, but still good. I would not recommend it though as my girlfriend's dish was MUCH better. She had the "fish strak frites"... I know the name does not sound all that great, but it is actually "grilled swordfish with a cherry tomato, arugula, red onion salad, Yukon gold frites, Ni?oise olive aioli" and it was very good. To finish it off, we had the exquisite "Dark chocolate tower", you must try it if you like chocolate. This restaurant is renowned for having one of the best wine cellars (at over 300m height) in Canda, so if that is what you like, you will definetly find something here that will please you. There was one bottle priced at 15000 CAD... it was 8 liters though. A main course at the restaurant will entitle you to the free ride up to the observation deck (usually 19 CAD). Obviously and as the name indicates, it is a rotating restaurant, meaning that the view will change over the course of the meal. I was told it takes 72 minutes for a complete rotation. It is funny to see that you will loose your orientation if you are distracted. The washrooms that were just around the corner are suddenly on the other side... funny. Prices are what you could expect in this kind of "luxury" restaurant. We paid 150 CAD (2 people) including tip, but if you think that we saved 38 CAD on the ride (you can easily combine a sightseeing session with a meal), it was not too bad.

| | | | CN tower Revolving restaurant: Rotating above the City | Tip Rating:  Satisfaction: | | | | |
When I was in Seattle five years previously, I discovered that if I went up in the Space Needle to eat dinner I would get my ride up free. Since then, I've looked out for big towers to eat in. The Toronto CN tower was my next chance. Note: The restaurant rotates - it doesn't revolve. A thing rotates on an axis. Something that revolves goes around something else, like the earth revolves around the sun. I was already at the Convention Center for my meeting, so it was pretty easy just to walk over to the CN tower. But I missed all the convention buses to the hotels, so I had to make my own way back. These are the hours: General Access 9:00am - 11:00pm 9:00am - 11:00pm Information Desk staffed at 8:30am 360 Restaurant Lunch 11:00am - 2:00pm Sunday Brunch 10:30am - 2:00pm Dinner 4:30pm - 10:00pm 4:30pm - 10:30pm (Friday and Saturday)
The cheapest tickets are: Look Out + Glass Floor (Taxes extra) Adult (13-64) $18.99 Senior (65+) $16.99 Children (4-12) $13.99 I had soup, salmon and chocolate cake, and took a lot of pictures. It cost me $59.20 Canadian, counting tip. I figure subtracting the ride up that it actually only cost me about $40.21 Canadian to have dinner. And at that time with that exchange rate, it works out to less then $30 US. See the two travelogues of views from the CN tower. One is of the harbor side which includes a picture of me taken by the waiter and the other is of the city side. There are other places to eat up there other than the 360 Restaurant - Horizon's Café Coffee/Muffins 10:00am - 11:30am Food and Bar Service 11:30am - 8:30pm Late Night Menu 5:00pm - 10:00pm Bar Service 7:30pm - 10:00pm Marketplace Café Coffee Station 8:30am-8:00pm Food Stations 9:00am - 6:00pm Lunch served 11:00am – 6:00pm The Kiosk Coffee Service 8:30 am – 5:00 pm Leave a Comment Theme: Eclectic/InternationalPrice: US$31-40 » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averageAddress: CN Tower, 301 Front Street WestPhone: (416) 86-TOWERDirections: Right in between the SkyDome and the Metro Toronto Convention Centre on Front Street, just north of Bremner Blvd.Website: http://www.cntower.ca/ Other Contact: 416-362-5411 (rest. gift cert.)

| | | | CN tower Revolving restaurant: Oh, the prices you'll overpay . . . | Tip Rating: Satisfaction: | | | | |
Okay, so I wasn't a really big fan of the CN Tower to begin with, so my review of this place might be tainted by my general distaste for its surroundings. As far as I could see, though, the restaurant was some Euro-esque pre-prepared dishes that basically tasted like cardboard but came with the price tag of a real restaurant - a good one, too, with, like cloth napkins and such. Anyway, no one I saw there was really happy with what they got. Vegetarian selections were very limited . . . there was only one thing on the menu I could eat. Save your money and go elsewhere.
The Diet Coke here is served cold and very, very crisp. It's damn near five dollars, though. Leave a Comment Theme: Eclectic/InternationalPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averageAddress: CN TowerDirections: The CN TowerWebsite: http://www.toronto.com

| | | | CN tower Revolving restaurant: 360 The Revolving Restaurant... | Tip Rating: | | | | |
360 The Revolving Restaurant atop the CN Tower Imagine drinking wine from the highest wine cellar in the world. The 360 is one of Toronto's foremost restaurants. Having dined at a few of TO's top tables, the food perhaps wasn't the greatest, however, nothing can beat the view here on a clear evening. The restaurant's decor is modern and chic, while maintaining that formal atmosphere. The service here is impeccable, non-intrusive yet very attentive. A problem I had? When I had sat down for my meal the ladies room was right by my table, by the end of my meal, I was at the other side. That's because this restaurant, perched at the top of the tallest free standing structure in the world, revolves. One bonus: If you're dining at 360, you don't have to pay the entrance fee to the tower. (This is last I visited) They do have prix fixe menus available however if you're going a la carte, the price is may be steep, even if you are making USD or GBP or any other currency stronger than our poor Loony. But if you're looking to pop the question, or just looking for something for that special occasion... 360 has never gone wrong.
