The Eaton's Ninth Floor Restaurant was a renowned dining establishment located on the ninth floor of the Eaton's department store in Toronto, Canada. It operated from 1930 to 1977 and was known for its elegant ambiance, exceptional cuisine, and panoramic views of the city.

History[edit | edit source]

The restaurant was opened in 1930 as part of the expansion of the Eaton's flagship store on Yonge Street. It quickly gained popularity among Torontonians and became a favorite destination for shoppers, businesspeople, and socialites.

The Ninth Floor Restaurant was designed by renowned architect Jacques Carlu, who was known for his Art Deco style. The interior featured luxurious furnishings, including plush velvet chairs, crystal chandeliers, and marble accents. The large windows provided breathtaking views of the city skyline.

Cuisine[edit | edit source]

The restaurant offered a diverse menu that catered to a wide range of tastes. It was known for its high-quality ingredients, innovative dishes, and impeccable service. The menu included classic French cuisine, as well as international dishes influenced by various culinary traditions.

One of the signature dishes of the Eaton's Ninth Floor Restaurant was the "Eaton's Salad," a refreshing combination of mixed greens, fresh vegetables, and a tangy vinaigrette dressing. Another popular item was the "Roast Beef Wellington," a tender beef fillet wrapped in puff pastry and served with a rich mushroom sauce.

Legacy[edit | edit source]

The Eaton's Ninth Floor Restaurant played a significant role in Toronto's culinary history and was considered a symbol of elegance and sophistication. It was a gathering place for the city's elite and hosted numerous special events, including weddings, anniversaries, and business functions.

In 1977, the restaurant closed its doors due to the decline of the Eaton's department store chain. The building was later converted into the Toronto Eaton Centre, a major shopping mall. Although the restaurant no longer exists, its legacy lives on in the memories of those who experienced its exceptional cuisine and timeless ambiance.
