Grand Restaurants and Terrific Baked Goods

De grands restaurants et de délicieuses pâtisseries

Eaton’s, the T. Eaton Co., was a Canadian retail institution founded in 1869; it declared bankruptcy in 1999, and the stores acquired afterward closed by 2002. Its grandest dining room was Montreal’s Eaton’s Ninth Floor Restaurant (Le 9e), an Art Deco landmark opened in 1931 with the storied Île de France hall, shuttered in 1999, then beautifully restored and reopened in May 2024.

Eaton (la société T. Eaton Co.) était une véritable institution canadienne du commerce de détail fondée en 1869. L’entreprise a déclaré faillite en 1999, et les magasins rachetés par la suite ont définitivement fermé leurs portes en 2002. Sa plus prestigieuse salle à manger était le restaurant du neuvième étage d’Eaton à Montréal, mieux connu sous le nom de Le 9e. Inauguré en 1931, ce joyau de style Art déco abritait la célèbre salle Île-de-France. Fermé en 1999, ce lieu historique a été magnifiquement restauré et a rouvert ses portes en mai 2024.
