Supercool revolving restaurant. Perched at the top of the Calgary Tower, this restaurant makes one revolution in an hour. This give you the opportunity to take in the whole city while you enjoy your meal. When reserving, be sure to ask for a table at the window. If you're looking for a romantic evening, booking mid-week might be better for you. Weekends can be very busy and very noisy.
