A long-awaited food hall has arrived at CF Toronto Eaton Centre. Queen's Cross Food Hall, a chef-driven culinary concept by Oliver & Bonacini (O&B) has opened to the public as of today, Wednesday, April 24th at 7am—just in time for the coffee and breakfast rush. Located at the south end of the mall's lower level, the 19,000 square foot space features 13 unique food stalls, two rotating pop-up stalls, a stylish bar and café, and seating 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," commented Sheila Jennings, General Manager, CF Toronto Eaton Centre.

Queen's Cross offers shoppers, nearby office workers, students and downtown visitors quick and satisfying all-day meal solutions, whether they're dining in or grabbing a bite to go. A vibrant cross-section of globally inspired food stalls represent a mix of new quick-service brands as well as playful adaptations of established O&B restaurants, partnerships and rotating pop-ups. Food stalls include:

• Swanky Burger

• Beauty's Fried Chicken

• Gil's Fish & Chipperie

• Happy Tangle

• Garden Variety

• Lala's Cantina

• Babel Hummus Bar

• Underground Sandwich

• Curryosity

• Captain Neon Sushi & Bowls

• Le Petit Cornichon

• Red Sauce

• Libretto Slice Shop

• Lil Rebel (limited-time pop-up by Chef Eric Chong of R&D)

• Craig's Cookies (limited-time pop-up)

• Crossbar (café and bar offering coffee and breakfast service in the mornings, and full bar service in the afternoons and evenings)

"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," says Chef Michael Robertson, O&B's Corporate Events Chef who is overseeing the project. "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!"

Inspired by its proximity to Queen subway station, the food hall's name and design are meant to signify the bustling feel of a cosmopolitan train station. This immersive experience is brought to life by Solid Design Creative, and marked by dynamic custom signage and an ever-changing split flap board—a take on the classic departures board found in busy transit hubs. Each food stall's façade is thoughtfully designed to represent the individual brand—from bistro-style wood panelling at the Maison Selby-inspired Le Petit Cornichon to the colourful mosaic tiles at Lala's Cantina, an offshoot of Leña Restaurante. Evoking the ambiance of a streetside café, guests dining in can enjoy the comfort of wood-carved banquettes and rich green leather seats—all nestled among custom metal arches and column lighting. Small details like the space's classic terrazzo flooring with a custom brass inlaid logo also ensure a dynamic view from multiple vantage points.

Queen's Cross Food Hall will operate seven days a week for all-day dining. For up-to-date information including menus and hours, please visit queenscrossfoodhall.com, this will open in a new tab and follow @queenscrossfoodhall, this will open in a new tab on Instagram.
