The One Eighty: Sophisticated Panorama Lounge

The One Eighty- formerly known as Panorama Lounge- was relaunched in March 2015. There is no doubt The One Eighty is a stylish restaurant. The interior is decorated using white, black and grey decor and furnishing. The bar is striking and features a built-in DJ station.
The space offers north and south facing windows and glass balcony patios. Every guest at 180 is able to enjoy looking down onto a far-reaching unobstructed view of Toronto, unlike any other. The concept of the space is supposedly inspired by Sebastien Centner’s- the president of Eatertainment- travels around the globe. He wanted to create an environment that was fun, luxe and interactive.
The venue can accommodate up to 300 guests and also offer a private event room for 30 people. The One Eighty is located on the 51st floor of the Manulife Centre in Yorkville. There is a variety of cocktails, wines and a large selection of food. As a venue, The One Eighty has hosted a variety of events including weddings and get-togethers.
The menu was designed by Eatertainment Executive Chef Christopher Matthews who wanted to focus on comfort classics but with a twist. A unique feature about The One Eighty is their daily bar cart service. Everyday there are different items featured on the bar cart, so you’ll always be able to try something new. The items available on the cart are typically small tapas items that are reasonably priced between $5 and $8 which can be shared among everyone at the table. Cocktails are presented in bottles, for a pop-art touch. If you’ll be visiting The One Eighty soon, I recommend the rosemary maple bourbon sour.
The food and drinks are accentuated by the new contemporary and luxurious design. The venue is stylish and trendy, the food is fresh and delicious but the view is truly something you won’t be able to find anywhere else. Enjoy Toronto like you’ve never seen it before.
