360 used to really be a tourist trap but they upped the quality of the food over the past few years. Definitely recommend it to people visiting the city
We've been to Toronto many times. Love the city. To enjoy the CN Tower , taking in a lunch or dinner makes sense to enjoy the views of the skyline without the added costs. Love the tour . All the best. 👍👍 Jim and Harriet
Great point. It costs about $50 just to go to the main deck, so going to the restaurant which requires a $75 minimum spend pp and includes admission to the deck is a good deal.
My uncle also worked on the CN Tower. My cousin told me a story about my uncle getting locked outside (I can't remember for how long), but that was it for him on that job.
I love how unflinchingly harsh you are, there is never a perfect meal. It sounds like I’m ripping you but I swear I’m not, it’s honest and pure. You’re the best UA
I took my daughter to 360 for her birthday 3 months ago. I went with Asparagus Soup. Chicken Supreme and Chocolate Terrine. Everything was excellent (7/10 food) service was amazing and the view is 10/10. Great video.
Toronto is AMAZING !!! Haven't been back in years and I want to. The place is eerily clean and a ton to do. The CN tower is a great tourist spot. Good video !!!
I visited Toronto years ago, for Caribana with this restaurant speciality in mind when I researched for my trip. I would definitely recommend it’s well worth the experience, rotating while dining & the Birds Eye view. 🖤🔥
I agree that it's worth it! I think people should set expectations. It's not the best food ever but I do think the food is objectively good. And if you are planning to visit the CN Tower anyways it is 100% worth it imo as it includes admission to the rest of the tower
Glad you enjoyed it. We went there as a family on my parents 50th anniversary, had a blast and the best picture with my father ever. That place brings great memories to me. ❤
Been living in Toronto for years and this summer was my first time doing the CN Tower + 360 Restaurant. One of the best parts of making a reservation at the restaurant is skipping the super long general admission line. Probably 200 people were waiting in line for the observation deck when I went... meanwhile my party got to waltz right in. The food being great certainly doesn't hurt. Then we got to watch a Blue Jays game from above - so it was like having free baseball tickets too!
I’m glad you enjoyed the 360 restaurant. It was refreshing to see that you ordered something besides a salad and steak. At least with your shellfish allergy, you can still enjoy squid or octopus. Great video!
Thanks for the tips UA. I’m travelling to Toronto for the first time next month from Ireland and looking forward to it . I have this restaurant booked on your recommendation 👍.
I always bring my family there if they visit from overseas , was always amazed of having still such great food in a "tourist trap" Hope it stays like this!
Ok as a Canadian The National Anthem at the end Classy touch. As a Torontotian Ya 360 is always good at least for me. Glad you had a great experience here in my Hometown. You welcome to come back Anytime. Thomas
@ The video is about the CN tower experience? not sure why your insinuating my comment is irrelevent… If someone is into aviation it’s a pretty big reason to go.
Amazing review UA! Really enjoyed your videos so far in my hometown! Glad you had a great time, CN Tower is definitely worth a visit for the views from the top!
Lived in Toronto all my life, and tried it for the first time about 2 months ago! I was surprised at just how much I enjoyed it. It took me a while to realize that the whole restaurant rotates... a great experience if you want to take in the complete Toronto skyline.
Great review! We have a place here in Dallas (Crown Block) that got rid of the spinning aspect. When it was Wolfgang Puck 560 it used to spin. I love eating at height like this. Planning on trying Peak at Hudson yards next month just because of that
Wow, that Calamari steak looks really great. I never really knew they serve jumbo squids like that... think I'm gonna hunt for a NYC joint that offer those!
Cool video! In the early 80s, my grandparents took my brother and I from Montréal to Vancouver and back by train. We were under the CN tower but didn’t go up it. We did have breakfast in the Calgary tower then lunch in Cloud 9 in Vancouver, both rotating restaurants. I'm pretty sure the Vancouver restaurant has changed it's name.
I've been there but not ordered the same things you did. It's a good restaurant but personally a little overpriced in Toronto, i've found with 90 dollars you can buy better steaks in the area, but the view is amazing. Glad you enjoyed it!
For sure it's not among the best restaurants in Toronto, but I do think it's a good one. It is expensive but if you are planning to visit the CN Tower anyways I think the price is quite reasonable. If just going there to eat maybe a bit less so
@@uaeats It’s a good restaurant, well cooked as always, lacking a little in really good flavour, but with that price I’m looking for the best in the city. And this is unfortunately not it. Still a great place to eat though for the views alone, so I’d say worth.
I’ve been to 360 a dozen times. I wouldn’t say it is a good restaurant. For such a place, it surprises me how untrained the service people are and the foods are mediocre for the price. But it’s totally worth it to go there to dine just for the experience of eating food at one of the tallest building in the world. Also, during summerlicious and winterlicious, the cost of meal is just slightly higher than the price of the ticket to go up.
UA I hope you grow out of your shellfish allergy. I had a terrible allergy to shellfish and crustaceans while in my 30's--and almost died a few times--but when I was tested at 45, my shellfish allergy had disappeared. Definitely get tested every few years. You might have a lovely surprise. 😊
If you're worried about the safety of salmon, a lot of it has to do with the quality of the water. Alaskan wild salmon can be really good. Farmed salmon is raised in pens where any disease can spread pretty quickly. Wild salmon from other areas might have issues with environmental mercury contamination or disease.
Yes, it's expensive, but considering the price of admission, it can be a value priced higher quality meal. IMO, it's a great (if not the best) way to enjoy the view and experience the tower.
If you have money you can let go of it's a fine experience to have, but if you care about your money a lot it's an experience that's also worth it to not have, the cost of the items are all marked up quite a lot, it's a luxury experience to be sure that a lot of "normal" people try to experience once. I use to work in this restaurant when I was a teenager, so I got to see a lot of what happened behind closed doors. A lot of the servers, and kitchen staff over work themselves in terms of the duration they work - the servers would regularly make assumptions about which customers would tip, and would not. (The assumptions were often correct.) A lot of members of staff use to sneak smoke breaks in this tiny room near the dishwashing station. (Can't exactly just exit the tower quickly so if you're addicted you'll cave, don't let the manager catch you.) It was an alright job.
UA Eats has been around. He's a good gauge of things... We all love his dissecting reviews and his sincere honesty. He's not easy to impress, simply because he has had the benefit of experiencing more than most people could. Personal tastes aside -- if he says it is worthwhile, then it is... personal tastes might vary, but he's one of the most indepth experience reviewers I've ever seen. UA -- please keep doing what you do -- just more often. 73K subscribers can easily turn into 730K -- keep going!!!
Cheers man, absolutely love the videos!! Been keeping in mind all of the restaurants local to NY as I'm in CT rn, planning on trying a few!! Found even a fried hot dog place near me that I'll make a video on as I'm wanting to get into food reviews as well as beer. Cheers again!! I see similarities also between our video styles and mannerisms, would love to colab someday!
Very fair as always , and amazed at the food quality considering it is very touristy . Now I dare you to find even decent food in that world famous Niagara Falls , it’s horrid .
A terrine is a meat spread ,we have a classic one for the hard working man when its cold winter time its called creton its amazing ! My haunt always buy a bunch when she comes visit us in the eastern part of Canada .Cuz there's nothing like it in the middle and western part of Canada.
Since I no longer work downtown, I've lost touch. Toronto is most famous for it's roast pork sandwich but all the best places are in the suburbs. UA you have to take Tina to dinner at Piano Piano, the raviolo is outstanding.
The place looks similar to the interior of the skylon tower restaurant in niagara falls. That place is a bit more touristy, however. If you ever get back to Philly, check out JG Skyhigh at the very top of the comcast building.
UA love your vids but recently both my smart TVs are playing in different languages with your most recent vids. Doesn’t happen on iPhone but two different smart TVs tell me it’s something on your end. Both TVs settings and location are correct in English and US. Can you shed any light on This?
I am from Toronto. And I have never been to 360. Maybe I should take your review to heart and give it a go. P.S. not surprised you found Barberian’s didn’t live up to expectations. It has become ridiculously expensive and quality of the meat is not anything special.
Hope you enjoy the rest of your time in Toronto. Local pronounciations are Turonno, and "seein" Tower. Hope you checked out Ripleys Aquarium, too. It's great.
Am from Toronto and have been to the 360 few times, including New Years Eve. Looks like they have upped the food a bit, although it was good I recalled. You do pay for the experience, but that is expected.
I’m thinking that Michelin inspectors should implement the “UA squint” policy when judging a restaurant. If he does it, it’s worth a drive out of your way. Another great vid dude. 🎉
@ out of any number of potential stars, I’d weight the UA Squint to be worth 20% of the final decision. Food, wine, decor, service, and the “UA Factor” ✌️💪
We did fund raisers. You had to walk up the stairs to go get to the tower. If remember right. About 28 minutes. Some athletes did in around 12. I trained for it for charity.
It's great when a place that's super hyped up and seemingly tourist trappy turns out to be awesome.
360 used to really be a tourist trap but they upped the quality of the food over the past few years. Definitely recommend it to people visiting the city
I’m the guy who said hi to you at Katz's Deli a few weeks back. I was visiting from Toronto. Welcome to the city, UA !
Nice! I remember you. Toronto's a great place!
They don’t have illegals and crazy people in there cities like New York ! I’m sure you need a passport To enter there. Great job 👍
canada requires a vax which can ruin you

The CN Tower was not quickly surpassed as the tallest 'free-standing structure' in the world. It held that 'title' from 1975 until 2007
He meant tallest building
@@benny.sullivan my comment was regarding him saying, the CN Tower was quickly surpassed as the tallest... whatever
@@DennisGlenn-vw2zk try to be more positive. UA has addressed this already. Negativity isn't welcome here
@@benny.sullivan What!? How is pointing out an inaccuracy negativity? I'll say whatever I want to say, always.
In 1976 the CN tower was completed. My father worked on the building in construction and was one of his most exciting projects in Toronto.
My uncle also worked on the CN Tower. My cousin told me a story about my uncle getting locked outside (I can't remember for how long), but that was it for him on that job.

You should go eat at Canoe. The food is even better and a more breathtaking view of the city at sunset IMHO.
You know, this was a great video!
My favourite part of the 360 is watching the planes land, thanks for putting that in the video
Really!? Thats awesome, but what is your favourite color???? 😂
@ The video is about the CN tower experience? not sure why your insinuating my comment is irrelevent… If someone is into aviation it’s a pretty big reason to go.

At the 9:00 mark, you’re zooming in on the Royal York Hotel, which was once the tallest building in Toronto, the Country, and the British Empire.

The CN Tower Restaurant is lovely
Had I known you were going to be here in Toronto I’d have recommended the best Chinese BBQ Restaurant in town.

He should have just had the Pickeral

Your statement on the contamination level of farmed vs wild salmon is incorrect. It’s the opposite

The menu said the squid has an olive and caper vinaigrette. And not every salmon preparation has crispy skin.
Very fair as always , and amazed at the food quality considering it is very touristy . Now I dare you to find even decent food in that world famous Niagara Falls , it’s horrid .
UA, there was a disco at the top of the tower in the 70's and 80's called "Sparkles"
Whoa! Although the line to get up and down the elevator must have been crazy
Nicely done UA
The one place where.. the more you pay... the better the food... and the most expensive package... all four selections... were really good...
The Space Needle used to have a restaurant at the top that rotated iirc but I think it may be gone now- just observatory space

I've lived in Toronto for 25+ years and have been up the CN Tower once. I should probably visit again. 😅
The CN Tower was the world's tallest freestanding structure from 1975 to 2007; so, 32 years. And the world's tallest tower for 35 years.
"And for the most part, super safe" lol
lol some parts definitely safer than others
@@uaeats I hear ya. I live near Minneapolis and it's very similar.
that's a very generous and interesting Squid dish for an appetizer
They probably sous vide'd the salmon, which would explain the skin
Hi! Love your videos! Have you ever thought about making videos of yourself cooking your favorite dishes?
He is a good guy I liked his compliments respect from Legion. I found the wedge salad at barbaians bland to if anything he is good food critic

The Steam Whistle Brewery is across from the CN Tower, they offer free sample.
THIS MAN CALLING NUTS TOO HARD TO CHEW LOL
I took my family up this summer and the cost of the elevator ride is almost the same as dinning. I think dining at the 360 covers your ride up.
"quickly" ... The CN tower was the world's tallest freestanding structure for 3 decades lmao

You can get salmon skin crisps from Costco and Trader Joe's! They even come in egg yolk flavor 👌 maybe we need a snack review video sometime
im so happy ur in canada buddy!

Tourist trap, but if you are a tourist the trap is cool! Food was mediocre but it was a fun experience! I recommended it!
I've been to the CN tower, but never really went to the restaurant. Sounds like I'm missing out by not going there when I'm in Toronto.
Actually salmon is pretty easy fish to cook because is very fatty so it means it's hard to overcook . I like your videos please keep going!
