Lunching with Lady Eaton

On July 14, 2024, relive the grander of Eaton’s Round Room restaurant, as the Seventh Floor of College Park comes alive again as Eaton’s College Street for one day. Step back in time and dine on classic Eaton’s recipes in the fully restored Round Room, enjoy live music just like patrons at the Round Room did, shop the vendor marketplace, view some of the latest in Toronto made fashion, enjoy presentations on the history of Eaton’s and Lady Eaton – Flora McCrea Eaton.

Opened in 1930, Eaton’s College Street was the largest homewares store in the British Empire, with an impressive 600,000 square feet of shopping space. Crowning this majestic store was the Seventh Floor Round Room restaurant, where generations of downtown shoppers enjoyed lunch in Art Deco splendour. Closed in 1977 when the Toronto Eaton Centre opened with a new Eaton’s downtown flagship store. Eaton’sCollege Street was converted for retail and office uses, and the building is now known as College Park.
