360 Restaurant at the CN Tower: A 5-Step Guide

Step 1: Know the 360 Restaurant at the CN Tower

The 360 Restaurant at the CN Tower is a sit-down restaurant 351 metres (1,151 feet) above the ground, and it does rotate. According to its 360 page, it completes one rotation every 72 minutes. You get a slow, full-circle view of Toronto while you eat.

The restaurant opens twice a day. Lunch runs, per the hours page, from 11:30 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. and dinner from 4:30 p.m. to 9:45 p.m. On a few November and December dates, the Main Observation Level has changed hours. The page says 360 Restaurant is not affected.

The menu list is long. It has a prix fixe menu, an à la carte menu, a children's menu, a Canadian Experience menu and an Indigenous menu. The dress code runs from smart casual to formal, says the tower's common questions page. Some guests arrive straight from sightseeing, and others dress up for a celebration.

Access is good. Every elevator is accessible, and the accessibility page says wheelchair users should tell the restaurant when they book so it can reserve a suitable table. Braille menus are available.

Step 2: Check what dinner at the CN Tower costs

Dinner costs at least CA$75 in food per adult, and each child aged 4 to 12 has a minimum of CA$40. Both amounts come from the 360 page. A minimum spend is the least food you must order, so drinks and extras can only add to it.

The prix fixe menu gives you a clear picture. The prix fixe page lists two courses for CA$75 and three courses for CA$90, each with a choice of starter, main and dessert. It adds that prices do not include taxes or gratuities. A bread basket is an extra CA$6.

The page does not say whether lunch and dinner prices differ, and the à la carte prices sit on the tower's own menu pages. Read them there before you go.

A table includes more than food. The meal comes with access to the Main and Lower Observation Levels after you eat, so you do not need a separate admission ticket. The Top costs extra. You buy that ticket from the Main Observation Level, and the tower sells it when space allows. The add-on is CA$12.

Key Takeaway A dinner table costs at least CA$75 in food per adult and includes the Main and Lower Observation Levels, while a plain adult ticket is CA$47 before tax.

Step 3: Book your table and plan the arrival

Book through the tower's own reservation page or by phone, and keep a credit card ready. The 360 contact page lists an OpenTable link and the number 416 362 5411. Reservations open two months ahead. Walk-ins are welcome, but the tower asks you to reserve for weekends and holidays.

The card holds your table. If you must cancel, tell the tower at least 24 hours ahead. Less notice means a charge of CA$30 per person.

Pro Tip Book on the tower's own site and keep your card ready, because 360 Restaurant takes a credit card at booking and charges CA$30 per person if you cancel with less than 24 hours' notice.

You cannot visit the observation levels before your reservation. The contact page says so plainly. Plan to eat first and look around second, and arrive on time for your slot.

Getting there is easy. The nearest station is Union Station, which the TTC (Toronto Transit Commission), GO Transit and UP Express all serve. The TTC says to take Line 1 to Union Station, then walk west on Front Street or follow the SkyWalk, the indoor path. The main entrance is at 290 Bremner Blvd. For more routes, see getting around Toronto.

Driving takes more effort. The getting here page names two paid lots, the south lot of the Metro Toronto Convention Centre and the Impark lot on Navy Wharf Court. Drop-off is on Bremner Boulevard, just south of the tower.

Step 4: Compare dinner with a plain ticket

Dinner is the better buy when you want a meal anyway, and a plain ticket is the cheaper way up when you only want the view. Adult prices on the ticket page are in Canadian dollars and before tax.

The minimum food spend is CA$28 above the plain ticket. For that gap you get a table, a meal and a long look at the city. This option is the wrong one if you want a quick visit, if you want The Top without paying extra, or if you do not want to spend CA$75 on food.

Going alone is the cheaper path, because you book straight with the tower. Our CN Tower tickets page is another page on this site and not the tower's box office. The tower sells its own tickets on cntower.ca, and it warns you not to buy from any other source. Its terms make every ticket final sale, with no refund and no exchange.

Three GetYourGuide listings also include tower entry. Each link below goes to its GetYourGuide listing, and none of them includes a meal at 360 Restaurant or an EdgeWalk.

• Plain ticket: the CN Tower ticket to the Main and Lower Observation Levels is from €34 per person. It holds 4.85 from 60 reviews, and its page names the CN Tower as the operator. The listing excludes The Top, fast-track entry and food and drinks from VUE Bistro. It shows free cancellation up to 24 hours ahead, while the tower's own terms say tickets are final sale. Read the terms on the page you buy from.
• Walking tour: the small-group walking tour with CN Tower entry is from €63 per person and lasts 1.5 hours. It has 4.63 from 190 reviews, and it runs in English and meets at St. Lawrence Market. The operator is See Sight Tours, and tips are not included.
• Night tour: the premium night driving tour with CN Tower entry is from €89 per person and lasts 3 hours. Its rating is 4.67 from 646 reviews, and it takes up to 9 people and includes hotel pickup from ten listed downtown hotels. The same operator runs it, and tips are not included.

Prices and ratings as shown on GetYourGuide.

Is a tour worth it here? A tour costs more than the plain ticket, so it pays only if you want a guide or a ride. The Best Travel Destinations' count of GetYourGuide listings for the Toronto area in October 2026 found 4 that name the CN Tower in the title. Three are priced per person, from €34.02 to €89.05, and the fourth is a private tour priced per group.

A meal with a view costs more than the view alone, so decide which one you came for.

Step 5: Think about EdgeWalk or a bite elsewhere

EdgeWalk is a separate ticket that starts at CA$199, and the tower sells it only on cntower.ca. The EdgeWalk page sends you to the tower's ticket site to book. No tour listing in this guide replaces it.

The walk is 116 storeys above Toronto, which the page lists as 356 metres (1,168 feet). You are out on the building, hands free, for about 30 minutes inside a visit of about 90 minutes. The ticket includes a certificate, a video, two printed photos and a ticket to the rest of the tower, The Top among it.

The rules matter before you book. Teens aged 13 to 17 need a parent or guardian to give written consent at check-in. The page gives no minimum height. The tower does not run the walk in electrical storms or dangerously high winds. Tickets are non-refundable, and you can change the date or time up to 72 hours ahead if space allows. Wheelchair-accessible walks are booked by phone on 416 601 3833.

Looking for a cheaper bite? The common questions page points to the VUE Bistros and Le Café for lighter meals. The official tower pages name no restaurants outside the building, so this guide names none. For the wider city, see Toronto food tours.
