360 Restaurant at CN Tower, One of Toronto's Top 50, Features Toronto’s Elevated Dining Experience wonderful wine wonderful food wonderful view On April 25, 1995, following extensive renovations and remodeling, the restaurant at the top of the CN Tower re-opened to critical acclaim with a newly appointed Chef’s team who would ensure the quality of the cuisine was every bit as spectacular as the view. And 360 has never looked back. For almost two decades it has been winning awards for its cuisine, wine and ambiance and become a popular fine-dining and special event destination for Torontonians, dignitaries, celebrities and tourists alike. Toronto’s sky-high dining experience has celebrated memorable meals, events, occasions, awards and guests. 360 Restaurant continues to hold its place as one of Toronto’s finest restaurants, featuring unforgettable food combined with an outstanding revolving view of Toronto more than 1,000 feet below. Executive Chef Peter George and his staff offer market-fresh cuisine, featuring regional ingredients to ensure an incomparable culinary experience. 360’s offers an award-winning wine selection of over 550 International and Canadian wines from its “cellar in the sky” the world’s highest wine cellar as designated by Guinness World Records. Patrons enjoy a panoramic view of the city from the comfort of their table as 360 revolves around the city, once every 72 minutes. In 2011, 360 introduced an innovative wine preservation system to make the dining experience more memorable for guests. The new wine preservation system allows the restaurant to offer a varying selection of exclusive wines by the glass from its award winning selection of over 550 labels located in the World’s Highest Wine Cellar. A leading event venue, 360 hosts over 500 memorable events each year for 2 to 2000 for receptions, dinners, themed events, product and press launches. 360’s decor presents a sophisticated palate of chocolate and espresso browns, soft leather oyster- banquettes with tan and butter-coloured walls providing a soothing and elegant backdrop for the colourful cityscapes and award-winning cuisine. 360 is open daily. Reservations highly recommended: (416) 362-5411 or via website www.cntower.ca Cellar in the Sky On May 13th 1997, 360 The Restaurant at the CN Tower officially opened its wine “cellar in the sky”, solidifying the restaurant’s commitment to excellence. Located within the restaurant at a height of 351 metres (1151 ft.), it received the official Guinness World Record for World’s Highest Wine Cellar in November 2006. Created to resemble a classic underground wine cellar, the cellar is a tribute to the finest European tradition complete with precision climate and humidity controls, redwood racks, double cherry doors, 9,000 bottle capacity and tasting table. To ensure that wine is stored in ideal conditions of 13 degrees Celsius (55 degrees F) and 65 percent relative humidity, a 2 1/2 ton, state-of-the-art, water-cooled cooling system was installed in the Cellar's ceiling. 360 holds one of the most extensive wine selections in Toronto, featuring more than 550 labels from around the world. Most of the wines are purchased through channels not normally accessible to the consumer and in this way 360 is able to assemble a collection with stellar choices for diners. The wine list features everything from $40 wines to priceless select vintages of the finest houses in the world. This extensive and carefully maintained wine selection has earned 360 the distinction of a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence (recipient since 1999) and it has also been a DiRoNA recipient since 1997 (Distinguished Restaurants of North America). 360 also features a progressive wine list, an easy-to-use system that lists wine by general order of taste, simplifying the selection process. Rather than listing wines by cellar or varietals, it lists them progressively by taste. Wines that taste similar are grouped together and patrons can choose their wine based on where it falls in relation to the other wines on the list. The progressive wine list is user friendly and takes the guesswork out of choosing wine. Patrons can easily match wines to dishes and can also experiment with new wines without straying too far from profiles of the ones they like most.” Memorable Achievements Soon after opening 360 was honoured with many prestigious awards recognizing the excellence of the experience and cuisine. Each year 360 continues to achieve awards for its cuisine and ambiance: o Wine Spectator Magazine Best of Award of Excellence (recipient since 1999) o DiRoNA, Distinguished Restaurants of North America (recipient since 1997 - the most reliable source to explore the greatest dining experiences in North America) o WHERE Magazine’s Most Romantic Restaurant o EatSmart Ontario Health Restaurant Program Award of Excellence o Toronto Sun Readers Choice Gold for Best Restaurant with a View (14th consecutive year) Memorable Events The opening Oasis Gala turned 360 into a private Sultan’s tent with lavish décor and incredible food displays. It would usher in a new decade for the restaurant at the top of Canada’s landmark and soon a busy roster of corporate, political and charitable events would produce a number of highlights over the years including movie premieres and theatre production launches. At a reception for NATO Defense Ministers, 600 international guests were entertained. The 360 team meticulously selected food and matched wines and other beverages to ensure that guests would have a real sense of Canadian cuisine…A spectacular sunrise greeted contestants attending the CHFI Million Dollar Breakfast. The biggest radio promotion giveaway in history, this memorable breakfast concluded with a contestant winning $1 million!…The entire Look Out Level of the CN Tower glittered in gold when the venue was transformed into a giant goldmine for a reception by North American gold mining company Goldcorp. 360 The Restaurant at the CN Tower hosts over 500 events annually throughout the CN Tower’s multiple venues, perfect for formal dining, receptions, casual meetings, product launches, corporate parties, intimate gatherings and more from 2 to 2,000 guests. Memorable Occasions Frequently recognized with Most Romantic Restaurant awards, 360 Restaurant is understandably the scene of dozens of marriage proposals a year and probably many more that staff do not know about. Millions of dollars worth of diamonds are carefully delivered, positioned and safeguarded for the right moment and there are always a multitude of tissue boxes on hand to take care of the joyful tears. While special occasions such as Valentine’s bring many romantics to the 360, this spectacular venue provides the backdrop for special occasions all year round including birthdays and anniversaries. The 360 staff happily accommodate to make the occasion a culinary success as well as a memory that will be cherished forever. Romantics also come back to the CN Tower for weddings, anniversaries, and even to renew their vows. Memorable Guests 360 Restaurant quickly and firmly established its reputation as an exceptional dining experience among international and local diners and is regularly visited by a who’s who in entertainment from actors to musicians and sports celebrities. Dignitaries and leaders from around the world venture to the top of Canada’s National Tower to experience regional Canadian cuisine at its finest. Well versed in protocol requirements, the special security requirements of these visitors pose no challenge for the CN Tower team.

  • Jamie Kennedy
    Jamie Kennedy One of Canada’s most celebrated chefs, Jamie Kennedy is known for his legendary commitment to environmental issues and his support for organic agriculture, local producers and traditional methods. This translates into choices about the fish we buy, the meat and vegetables we serve and increasingly the wines we choose to offer. Jamie makes every effort to minimize the impact of our operations on the environment and we are continuously on the look out for like-minded suppliers and better methods of work. His respect for traditional practices exerted its influence early on in Jamie Kennedy’s culinary endeavors, precipitating his decision to pursue an apprenticeship. Over the course of three years, Jamie worked for one Chef, under whose tutelage he learned basic kitchen skills, including how to manage staff and strike a balance between life and the demands of being a Chef. Having graduated from the apprenticeship program at George Brown in 1977, Jamie finessed his training and experience as Journeyman Cook in Europe from 1977 to 1979. In this ever- evolving learning environment, Jamie experienced what he describes as “a gradual awakening to gastronomy”. The Restaurants of Jamie Kennedy Returning to Toronto, Jamie opened what is now one of Toronto’s most renowned and respected restaurants, Scaramouche. Modeled on the French three-star system, Scaramouche was heralded as a new phase in Canadian culinary history and solidified Jamie’s reputation as a pioneer of contemporary Canadian cuisine. However, it was not until 1985 when he opened Palmerston Restaurant and established relationships with a number of local artisan producers that Jamie began to identify and develop what would become his own definitive style.

  • “Steak, Blé D'inde, Patates”
    SANDRA ROY “Steak, Blé d’Inde, Patates” Eating national identity in late twentieth-century Québec This paper explores the connections between pâté chinois and Québec national identity during the second half of the twentieth century. The respective French, British, and Native roots of the ingredients are highlighted and discussed, with a particular emphasis on socioeconomic and cultural terms that also extends to the analysis of the historical preparation of the layered meal, more akin to “daily survival” than to gastronomy. Special attention is also given to the significance of the dish’s origin myths, as well as to cultural references on a popular television series. Those origin myths are separated along the French/English divide, thus evoking the often- tempestuous relationship between these two languages and their speakers in Québec. The progression of the discourse surrounding pâté chinois, from a leftover dish prior to the rise of nationalism in the ’70s, to a media darling in the decade following the 1995 referendum, corresponds with efforts to define and then to redefine Québécois identity. The history of the dish tells the tumultuous history of the people of Québec, their quest for a unique identity, and the ambiguous relationship they have with language. Pâté chinois became a symbol, reminding French Canadians of Québec daily of their Québécois identity. Keywords: pâté chinois, food, Québec, national identity, La Petite Vie (TV series), French language INTRODUCTION As a little girl, pâté chinois was my favourite meal—but only my grandmother’s version. The classic recipe is simple: cooked ground beef at the bottom, canned corn—blé d’Inde—in the middle, mashed potatoes on top, warmed in the oven for a few minutes.1 Grandma did it differently: she mixed all the ingredients together without putting them in the oven.

Tourists are arriving in record numbers, drawn to Canada’s culinary landscape as much as its scenery and attractions. The Honourable Bardish Chagger, Canada’s Minister of Small Busi- ness and Tourism, attended our Nation’s Feast event at RC Show 2017, and a few weeks later announced that the government is embarking on a strategy to make Canada a top destination for culinary tourism, noting: “Whether they involve visiting a restaurant or food festival, culinary experiences are as essential today to a tourist's experience as climate, geography and accommodations.” It’s easy to see why the government has put a sharp focus on culinary tourism; approximately one fifth of spending ($3.56 billion) by inter- national travellers in Canada is on food and beverages.

  • Canada Beef Fairmont Banff Springs Event
    More than Poutine and Maple Syrup: ‘Best Countries 2017’ Report Reveals It’s Time for Canadian Cuisine to Shine Canada Beef Hosts Unique Culinary Exchange Series Highlighting a Global Appreciation for our Country’s Homegrown Fare May 4th, 2017 – Canada Beef is teaming up with Fairmont Hotels and Resorts across the country to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday through a series of unique culinary exchange events with talented chefs from across the globe. Drawing inspiration from a recent report by U.S. News, where global respondents deemed Canadian cuisine less than stellar, Canada Beef and Fairmont are taking a stand to show the rest of the world just how impressive Canadian cuisine is. “Over the next several months, we’re bringing chefs from Mexico, China, and South East Asia to Canada to collaborate with leading local chefs on this one-of-a-kind culinary exchange series,” says Joyce Parslow, Executive Director of Consumer Relations at Canada Beef. “Canadian cuisine is revered by culinary leaders from around the world who are seeking out products like barley, cheeses, and of course, Canadian beef. Just as Canadian wine took time to gain its notoriety on the global stage, Canadian cuisine is now doing the same.” Through the hands of top global chefs, Canada Beef and Fairmont’s culinary exchange series is designed to course-correct the understanding of Canada’s food identity. All events in the series will include ranch tours, beef and wine pairing seminars, charity BBQs and gala dining experiences. Kicking off the first of three events in Alberta, Canada Beef will host internationally renowned chef Zahie Téllez of Mexico at the Fairmont Banff Springs in May 2017.
