This week I had brunch at
Eaton's 9th floor restaurant.
It has reopened after being
closed for nearly 24yrs.,
with the closure of
Eatons Department Store.
I remember the restaurant from
the 1960's to 80s inclusive.
It was a bustling place with
shoppers and employers.
My sister Betty worked at Eaton's in the linen
department and also my Mother-In-Law
in the electronic department
(toasters, radios, razors, etc.)
The restaurant was originally
designed in art-deco style,
to resemble the Ile-de-France
luxury ocean liner.
It reopened this year,
renovated to modern standards,
leaving a lot of the original deco-style.
When the restaurant opened in 1931
it could seat 500 people.
Delicious food
The hallways stay as they were in bygone years.
Also the bathroom with its marble walls, etc.
Fantastic food and friendly service.
Brought back memories of eating
on the 9th floor at Eatons.
Thanks for your visit.
