Toronto’s Eaton Centre has opened a new food hall today that includes over 16 food and dessert stalls from all over the world.
Created by Oliver & Bonacini (O&B), Queen’s Cross Food Hall is located at the south end of the mall’s lower level and is a 19,000-square foot space that features 13 food stalls, two rotating pop-up stalls, a stylish bar and café, and capacity for 300 guests.
“As a landmark destination in the city, we are constantly evolving our retail and dining mix to suit the needs of our visitors, and we are thrilled to collaborate with the visionaries at O&B to bring a global selection of cuisine to the south end of the shopping centre,” CF Toronto Eaton Centre General Manager Sheila Jennings said in a statement.
The new food hall aims to be the new spot for all shoppers, students, tourists and workers looking for a quick lunch bite. The food hall includes a mix of foods and brands such as Swanky Burger, Beauty’s Fried Chicken, Captain Neon Sushi & Bowls and Babel Hummus Bar among others.
Lil Rebel and Craig’s Cookies are also available as a limited-time pop-up as well.
“Our team of chefs continue to work hard developing a diverse array of cuisines while ensuring each menu is thoughtfully curated with quality and taste a top priority,” O&B’s Corporate Events Chef Michael Robertson said in a statement.
“We’re excited for guests to explore the wide variety of options we have available and choose their own culinary adventure. From smash burgers and coq au vin BLTs to hand-stretched pizzas, pork belly baos and robust salads, you name it, we’ve got it, or it’s likely coming soon!” he continued.
Creators of the new food hall say its name was inspired by its proximity to Queen subway station and its design is meant to emulate the feeling of a cosmopolitan train station.
Queen’s Cross Food Hall is open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Hours vary on weekends.
