A new dining experience is coming to CF Toronto Eaton Centre in fall 2023, with the arrival of Queen's Cross. Created in partnership with Oliver & Bonacini Hospitality, Queen's Cross will offer a curated selection of 15 chef-driven food stalls, along with a bar and café. Designed by Solid Design Creative, the food emporium will span 19,000 square feet and seat up to 300 guests.
The globally inspired food stalls will offer a mix of new quick-service brands and playful offshoots of established local restaurants. The eclectic mix of dining concepts will include Curryosity, Gil's Fish & Chipperie, Lala's Cantina, and Swanky Burger. Sheila Jennings, General Manager, commented that "the addition of Queen's Cross not only amplifies, but also greatly expands, the dining options across the north to south ends of the centre".
