I went to the 360 Restaurant in the CN tower while I was in Toronto during the winter break. After struggling to find a restaurant with a vegetarian menu, and foods to relate to my blog, I finally found this restaurant and decided to make a trip out of it! Since I have an exchange student living with me right now, and we were going to Toronto anyways, it turned out to be the perfect place to go! Sight seeing and an amazing menu! But was is really as great as it seemed?
This restaurant was amazing!
My family and I went to the CN Tower during the afternoon, and decided to go to the 360 Restaurant for dinner. The view at our table was absolutely amazing, and as soon as we walked in we noticed the wonderful setting of the restaurant. I was impressed to see they had a full vegetarian menu with plenty of options. I decided to have the "whole wheat spaghetti with vegetarian bolognaise' as my main dish and a "warm maple tart" as my desert.
While ordering our meals the staff was very welcoming, friendly and professional. While waiting for our food we enjoyed the miraculous view. We had to wait a long time for our meals, but once we got them they were hot and fresh. The food was very well presented and looked delicious, but I have to say I was slightly disappointed when I tasted my main course. The spaghetti was very bland and tasteless. My family said that their meals were alright, but not exactly what they expected. My Mom however said that her "Alberta AAA Beef Tenderloin" was perfectly done and tasted great, but I was unable to try it since I'm a vegetarian. We were all hoping the deserts would make up for it though, and they did!
The desert was amazing. My maple tart's presentation was wonderful. When I took a bite of it it was warm and chewy, and not too sweet. It had just enough taste of maple where it was enjoyable and not too overpowering and strong. By far one of the best deserts I've had for a while. While I wasn't able to take a picture of my desert, I found a picture of the maple tart online shown below.
