Ciel! Bistro-bar tournant

Le Ciel pour la Saint-​Valentin à –30C dehors: beaucoup de tables libre malgré une grand quantité de réservation qui ont probablement été annulé à cause température. On a demandé d’avoir sur le bord de la fenêtre et cela a fonctionné vu les cancellations. Toujours demandé.
Entrée:
Risotto brocoli et Migneron de Charlevoix: Excellent, cuit à point, avec des languettes de pommes verte sur le dessus qui se mariait bien au goût — 10 $
Sommes toute c’était une bonne portion
Bisque de homard: Excellente faite avec carcasse de homard donc mariner longtemps, très goûteux, aucun doute c’était bien du homard, servie avec biscotte et chair dessus. Environ 15 $
Plat principal:
Porchetta avec polenta et légume: Porc et farce Oké trop d’épices à mon goût, polenta, il faut aimer cela car tout trempe dedans… Ce que finalement je n’aime pas. Grosse portion. Doggy bag demandé. 28 $
Viande du jour– Contre filet de boeuf avec patate et légume: décevant car viande avec beaucoup de tirailles/​veines à l’intérieur, dure à mâcher… Patate et légumes excellent avec juste assez d’épices 35 $
Vue extraordinaire et même pour un habitant de la place c’est toujours impressionant de voir notre ville. À cette date, nous voyions le Carnaval de Québec, une grande-​allée vide à cause de la météo et le nouveau Centre vidéotron.
Toilette sous le restaurant donc beaucoup de marches. Vérifié si personne âgé vous accompagne.

Vue splendide ! Malheureusement pas de table d’hôte. Nous avons commandé à la carte: potage, entrée et plat principal. C’était trop !
À moins d’avoir grande faim, une soupe ou une entrée et un plat principal sont amplement suffisant. Compte tenu de la vue, le prix était correct.

This is a really unforgettable experience. The ambience of the water features on the wall, the fine dining atmosphere and of course the revolving scenery.
The food was excellent — I had the Butcher’s Choice which is a changing selection depending on the cuts of meat they’ve acquired. It was duck breast and it tasted almost as hearty and savoury as a steak, without the heaviness or weight in your stomach. It was delicate yet extraordinarily satisfying, served on top of a mixed side of potatoes, broccoli, onions and pomegranate.
I also shared a lobster bisque with a crab croûton — the bisque was incredible, the crab croûton was a nice texture but slightly bland. If they had only served the toasted bread as the croûton, I wouldn’t have any negative thing to say.
This place is worth checking out, but mind the price. I came in January, where they had a deal with other restaurants to try to bolster tourism income, where you get a 2^nd main/​entrée off. So we had four people, and two of the meals were half price.
This is worth a trip if you’re in Quebec for a few days to a week. Probably not worth going twice.

Ce matin, nous sommes montés au ciel! Pour déjeuner. Inutile de vous dire que la vu est magnifique. Je n’avais jamais vu ma ville sous cet angle. Pour le brunch ont a 3 service, entrée, plat principal et gâterie sucrée. La nourriture est excellente. J’ai mangé le cottage et fruits en entrée, la tarti siflette et le dessert était le même pour tout le monde, des pâtes de fruits maisons. J’ai adoré mon expérience.

Went here for a work party, I had heard alot of good things about this place, we went for supper time, let me start by saying the view was amazing. The restaurant is on the top of the hotel Concorde and spins, it takes about an hour and a half to do a FL rotation of the whole city. I started off with the crevettes de roche with a celery purée, and had a main course of macreuse de boeuf with a side salad. Both was amazing. The presentation was nice as well. Service was top of the line too. I was not disappointed and will probably try and be back, the view in fall with the fall colours would be very nice I think

What better way to warm yourself after exploring the Plains of Abraham on a chilly day than to go to the top of a hotel and take in the amazing vistas of Quebec city while enjoying some quality food?
A lot of restaurants like these are gimmicky, relying on novelty and views to make up for the fact that you wouldn’t step foot in the place if it were on street level. Ciel! on the other hand is a fantastic experience all around.

Our host in Quebec City suggested us this place, because of it’s view and because he thought we’d enjoy a good local cuisine. He wasn’t all too wrong, but also not all on point.
First — you need to make a reservation, especially if you want to have dinner here. We only stayed in town for two nights so it was a bit of a short​notice. Plus side is, you can make a reservation online. We made it for an early afternoon lunch since dinner time was full until 10pm.
The place is not hard to find, it actually sticks out a bit. The elevator takes you up to the highest floor and then a bit of a grumpy waitress takes you to your seat. Yes, we were only dressed casually, but so were most people. I get it, that you dress more formal for a dinner, but this was in the middle of the day and besides, I don’t really carry a dress, suit and tie with me on vacation. And tourists are well-​welcomed in this city, except for this place, obviously
The wait time is a bit too long, but this waitress was at least nice (compared to the first one). Her English was a bit on the poor side, but she tried hard, which I appreciated. She brought us drinks and menu. There are different ones for lunch and dinner, the dinner one being longer than the lunch one (shucks). There’s not much to decide from. Sometimes this can be a very good thing, on the other occasions (such as was the case here), a bad one.
There were two appetizers and 4 main courses. We were choosing between bad options and tried to find the lest awful one, which was a Cheese Platter for me (that’s something French would consider a course in between main meal and dessert — so not something you’d really be full of afterwards) and Cold Meat Platter for my husband. This was too little for lunch (the meals are more on the fancy side, but I’ve had smaller ones too) so we also ordered a Soup of the Day — Carrot. The food was good and very nicely presented — also local (or so we were told).
The dessert was something that I was looking forward to, cause I was still hungry. It did not disappoint — sponge cake with dark and white chocolate mousse, drizzled with caramel sauce. Very, very good indeed.
Don’t be too shocked when the check arrives. :) It could be cheaper, but then again, it’s not a restaurant you go to every day and you do get a nice view in that one hour (whole 360°). The staff could be friendlier and I’d appreciate a longer menu. This was a one time only experience.

Came here for my birthday with the family. Made reservations two nights before with no issues. When we arrived the sun was just starting to set, which made for the most beautiful view of the city.
We were seated promptly, and ordered drinks shortly after. The server was very patient with us and answered all our questions about the menu. For appetizers we had escargot as well as the scallops ceviche. Both were very tasty. For our main, 3 of us had the braised veil cheeks. Which were so very good. I would go back just to have those. My sister ordered the guinea fowl which she said was good, but didn’t have enough flavour for her liking. And then my brother had flat iron steak, and he loved every bite of it.
For dessert we us the chocolate, the strawberry and rhubarb pie and some whisky. Dessert was amazing.
Overall I loved every moment being in the restaurant, they even put sparklers in my pie for my birthday. So that was a nice surprise.
Would definitely go back here in a heartbeat!

We weren’t planing on going for dinner here but are glad we did. A roof top revolving restaurant just screams 1982. It takes just about an hour for you to make a full rotation so you do get to see the whole city during your meal.
For our starters we had the sauted Tuma cheese with oyster mushrooms and fried polenta as well as the deer carpaccio. We enjoyed them both very much but the Tuma I would consider outstanding.
Our mains were the braised veal cheeks and the sweetbreads. The veal was incredibly tender and flavourful but the sweetbreads were a little disappointing. They came with a white bean stew with lobster mushrooms but the beans were nearly raw and tough to eat.
We can’t comment on desert as we were never offered any or a second glass of wine. The restaurant didn’t seem to be overly busy but that didn’t stop our waiter from disappearing to the point were we felt abandoned.

Concept très agréable, ce qui permet de profiter de la vue magnifique sur Québec.
Le menu du midi est juste ridicule… Une soupe ou une salade verte en entrée??? J’ai cru qu’il y avait une caméra cachée … Surtout à s’est prix.
Le Fish & chop est très correct, le bar était bon. Le dessert de biscuit de bleuets est juste mauvais, fruits sans gout, gâteau rassit…
Cet emplacement pourrait être fabuleux, si la priorité était dans l’assiette et pas seulement sur la vue, aussi magnifique soit elle.

Fantastic view of Quebec City. If accounting for the view as well, definitely worth the prices. Mains for dinner were in the $ 30 range which was not too bad.
Make sure you go early to get a table by the window. The veal cheeks was the highlight of our meal. We didn’t get the porchetta but it looked good as well. Appetizer highlight was the deer carpaccio. Dessert wasn’t anything to write home about and can probably be skipped.

Pour la vue et le paysage de Québec qui défile sous nos yeux, c’est magique. Je suis allé souper au Ciel. Menu élaboré, on retrouve beaucoup de créations culinaires, ce qui peut laisser indifférentes certaines personnes à la recherché de plats plus traditionnels. La nourriture est bonne, belle qualité. Je trouve les prix un peu dispendieux pour ce que l’on nous sert. J’ai l’impression qu’on paie un peu pour la vue, davantage que pour la qualité de la bouffe. Ce n’est pourtant pas ce à quoi nous ont habitué les restos plaisirs.

Went there with in-​town family members who highly recommended the food here.
Absolutely everything we had from the flank steak to the barley risotto was amazing!
The views, of course, are completely unparalleled. The restaurant is on a revolving platform so no matter where you sit the view is ever changing and stunning!
The desserts were not to be missed! We had a flaky pastry with a crème custard, a brownie with chocolate mousse and a lemon meringue éclair. So good! Coffee rounded out our evening.
We were a large party and service was excellent! It was not fast — but who would want it to be?!
Wonderful!

Fantastic view and ambience, that worth the trip up there. The service was very good. I had the fish of the day, I wasn’t a big fan of the sauce they used with it, it didn&

Au prix payé, on s’attend à un service bien supérieur et une qualité de bouffe plus remarquable. Ce né fut pas le cas lors de ce dîner récent. Le spectacle de la vue de Québec est cependant sans pareil et tamponne un peu les déficiences de restauration! La direction devrait faire l’effort nécessaire pour s’assurer d’une clientèle fidèle.

Mon copain et moi n’étions pas assis près de la fenêtre, mais nous avons quand même pu profiter de la magnifique vue. Dès notre première bouchée, nous avons tombé en amour avec la nourriture. C’était tellement bon !!! J’ai pris la Margarita de la Primavera et c’était délicieux. De plus, notre serveuse était très gentille et on a eu beaucoup de plaisir avec elle. C’est certain que nous allons y retourner.

Je suis allé prendre un apéro dans la section bar. Belle sélection de cocktails! Prix inférieurs à la moyenne pour la plupart. Vue spectaculaire en prime.

Super restaurant. C’est un concept innovant: le restaurant est tournant ! C’est l’un des incontournables lorsque vous visiter la ville. Le menu est très bien et varié, les prix sont raisonnables, et la qualité est au rendez-​vous. Lorsque vous soupez ou prendrez un verre, le restaurant tourne littéralement sur lui-​même, et il vous permet d’avoir une vue panoramique sur la ville: idéal pour un coucher de soleil.
Seul point négatif: le service. Notre serveuse manquait réellement de rigueur. Nous avons du attendre trente minutes pour commander, après que j’ai été obligé de lui faire signe de venir nous voir. Mais ça né c’est pas arrêté là: le service était lent et loin d’être avenant. Nous avions l’impression qu’on se fichait de nous, et c’était très désagréable. Il a fallu lui demander par deux fois pour venir nous faire payer. La serveuse avait beau être gentille, elle manquait d’expérience ou de rigueur.
C’est pourquoi je lui donne 3 étoiles pour le moment, en espérant que le service s’améliorera, et je suis persuadé que oui !
