Hello Churin,
Yes, I've restored it in Windows 8. It's the same procedure as in Windows 7 to restore Quick Launch in Windows 8 as well. Once you open the Desktop by clicking on the "Desktop" appp on the Metro "Start" screen, you should be able to use the same tutorial below to do it.
Quick Launch - Enable or Disable - Windows 7 Forums
Hope this helps,
Shawn

As an alternative you could use Toolbars - which I find more practical and more open ended.
Toolbars - How to Use in Windows 7 and Vista - Windows 7 Forums
It uses the same method.
Hmm, how is that. I never made e.g. subfolders in Quick Launch (is that even possible) - and the possible folder structure gives the toolbars an edge - I think.

Sorry Wolfgang,
I thought you meant to add Quick Launch to the taskbar by adding it as a toolbar. That's what I meant was the same.
