My gf never been to a rotating restaurant before so I brought her here. The view is great, the rotating speed is actually slower than other rotating restaurants that I've been to. I only came for the food honestly.

First to the restaurant, it was odd that the dining table has a paper instead of usual table cloths?

The food is 6/10 honestly.
The entree, we got duck foie gras & cerf(venison) gravlax. The entree is 7.5/10 or 8/10 is a little bit salty but they have something sweet to accompany it very well. It definitely need to have something better to take it 8/10 or 9/10

We got the lamb rack. That one was honestly a disappointment. The vegetables are just vegetables. nothing much hard to make it at home. Not inspiring. They give the root of the fennel & serve it that way… like really? The lamb is chewy, hard to bite. To solve this problem, many restaurants will cook it for longer time so that it becomes more tender & easier to bite.
Easily 5/10, the only saving grace is the smashed white beans. Those are goods

The dessert, we got the shortbread 7/10.
Usually problem with shortbread that it is hard & dry, they accompany it with ice cream & haskap berry which is the right thing to do. But pretty much that's it? It feels like need something more to make it better than homemade equivalent. This is something I made at home before. With the exception of the orange jam/stuff that laid all over the plate. The ice cream also taste like one of the store bought ice cream.

To dine in a place for slightly worse or better home cook meal feels not worth it. Avoid this if you're looking for good food.

The autumn menu looks much better than summer menu. The autumn menu looks way different & more inspiring. & I was thinking those are the stuff that they gonna serve🥲

Between KL rotating restaurant & this, I will put KL rotating restaurant over this. KL's rotating restaurant are larger & they're buffet with many different kind of food. & actually taste very good. You can walk around everywhere & more free.

Edit: there are many better restaurants that worth more of your money in Ville de Quebec. I will say avoid this

Edit2: forgot to mention, the service is good! Don't worry on service front

Unique food combinations, made for a special night out & the view is absolutely awesome! If possible, time it so you get daylight, twilight, sunset & full dark with city lights aglow

We had a lovely evening at Ciel! While the menu is a little limited on options, we all found something we liked & all dishes were interesting & well executed. Our server, Nicholas, was outstanding & we really enjoyed his guidance & personality! It's hard to downgrade for atmosphere as we experienced a beautiful view of the city at sunset but we did notice minor things like a few fogged windows, a tear in upholstery, etc. All in all, a wonderful experience that we would not hesitate to repeat!

You can't beat the view. Maude was a superb server & also gave us great insights & advice on places to go. The food was excellent & not cheap, but not overly expensive.
We will definitely go back.
