We took our tween daughters here for our last night in Quebec City. It was PERFECT. With the *wow* factor of the rotating view, the delicious children's prefix menu (also a great value-thank you!), & our incredibly kind & attentive waitress, we all agreed that it was easily our favorite restaurant of the entire vacation. It is such a gem of a place, & we're so grateful to have had our evening there- such a happy memory!

Not too impressed given the view was the best thing. The food seemed unimaginative. The portion was meager & slightly warm when served. The waiter seemed inexperienced.

Unbeatable view for this price:) it is my second visit since 2018. I noticed this place hasn't changed much. Kitchen was overloaded & the serving speed was worrisome. But we weren't in a rush as we enjoyed the view. If you have a tight schedule be careful. We waited for an omelette for about an hour.

Thank you for a wonderful experience at the Turning Bistro! The food was tasty, healthy, & presented with style! The menu choices do not need to be large in our view, since we value quality not quantity! The staff was very kind, helpful & genuine in their approach, & the view.... heavenly! A unique experience indeed!
