CN Tower 360 Restaurant

Here is a prime example of the tourist restaurant.  I mean who wouldn't want to eat at the top of the CN Tower?  The atmosphere is absolutely stunning as you sit window side to a view of Toronto.  Soaring high above any other building in Toronto you get this feeling of being on top of the world.  An experience that all Torontonians must embrace.  But I am sure you are asking yourself by now about the food.

So when looking through the menu there were some fancy dishes that were very well appointed but it was not very extensive.  There is only one pasta dish on the menu which I found to be very surprising.  The advantage also is that this is a Vegetarian Friendly restaurant.  360 now boasts a Vegetarian menu.  Not vegan, vegetarian.

The price point is high but you have to also factor in that with dinner you get a free ride up the CN Tower which is $35 for anyone just going up to explore the glass floor and outdoor observatory.  All these things are free of charge when you eat at 360 Restaurant.  Wicked perk if you are taking a date to this location.

360 also has a prix fixe menu which is what decided to enjoy when visiting.  It was a four course meal for $68 which is amazing value when you compare to the prices on the main menu.  So for a per person cost it would be $100 for your ride up, an amazing meal, great service, including tax and gratuity.  I believe this is a great deal and if you pass up the opportunity then all I can say is: "It's your loss!"

Meal:  I had a Lobster Tortilla as my amuse bouche, then Smoked Salmon with pumpernickel bread, then a massive piece of cooked to perfection Canadian Prime Rib with Yorkshire pudding and steamed vegetables, finished off with a fruit filled pastry shortcake with ice cream.  Unbeatable!

My servers name was Mohammed.  He is a very good mature server and precise with his tables.  Not the most social server but who needs a server trying to have a conversation with you when you are trying to enjoy the food and view.  Meals were timed very appropriately and were delicious.  His support staff always asked about food quality, topped up water, and will even take your picture for you if you ask.

The 360 restaurant receives an 8 out of 10 for an overall experience, lasting expression, vegetarian menu, and prix fixe option.  Feel free to check out their website at: http://www.cntower.ca/360_restaurant/overview/ 

Enjoy 360 everyone.
