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
