A beautiful dining experience in the heart of Quebec City. Sweeping views from the gently rotating dining room (I didn’t get dizzy!) Started with two appetizers, the best being the Venison Gravalax. Very delicious, my first venison dish. We also had the foie gras, but it was too rich for my taste (and only came with two small toast points!). Dinner mains: chicken entree and the salmon dinner. Both solid plates. Dessert: creme brûlée, it was absolutely perfect. Ciel was recommended to us by a number of people for our anniversary dinner. I am happy to say it didn’t disappoint. Our server Julie was amazing. She was attentive, professional and very accommodating and friendly. The food was delicious. The panoramic views were fantastic. The value for this fine dining experience with gorgeous views of the city is excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone visiting Quebec City and particularly for a special occasion. Took my copain here for his birthday and it was perfect. The views were beautiful. The food was expensive but sooo délicieuse. I was actually surprised because usually when you have smaller portions the food is almost always bland. The food was well seasoned, the chicken was moist and the drinks were fruity. We had a great time! And the service was excellent. Definitely recommend.

The view, of course, is spectacular. But the service and food are also top-notch at Ciel Bistro-bar. Maude was attentive, fun, and offered great suggestions in beverage and food pairings, kept a nice pace with the meal, and put up with my horrible jokes in decent French. The universal language in this case is flavor and experience. The kids loved their salmon, which was flaky and perfectly cooked. I had a play on surf and turf with pork belly and scallops. It was balanced with richness and texture and lived up to every bit of the hype. The drinks were well-crafted. There's not much of a beer selection, but I like that they selected beers from the province. The old fashioned I had was among the best I've experienced, ever. Ciel is absolutely worth a visit and checks every box, from food, to service, to ambiance. It's a special experience.

This restaurant was worth going! Food was amazing. They have a lot of vegetarian options. Do get their soup of the day, healthy and creamy. Last but not the least it is a rotating bar. Definitely try their local apple cider.
