Eaton's Ninth Floor

Eaton's Ninth Floor is an Art Deco restaurant on the ninth floor of Montreal Eaton Centre, featuring large windows that overlook downtown and intricate architectural details throughout. The main dining room accommodates around 120 guests, while two separate spaces called Gold and Silver serve smaller gatherings.

French architect Jacques Carlu designed this upscale dining space in 1931, drawing inspiration from the grand dining halls found on transatlantic ocean liners. The building was part of the Eaton's department store, which grew into a major retail hub during the early 1900s.

The name references the historic Eaton's department store that once anchored this location in Montreal's retail landscape. Visitors can see original murals, furnishings, and decorative elements that showcase the Art Deco design philosophy and the city's architectural heritage.

The restaurant sits on the ninth floor of the Eaton Centre, which is accessible from Rue Sainte-Catherine with elevator access to the dining space. Large windows throughout the room provide natural light and views while you dine.

This space remained shuttered for 25 years until 2024, when meticulous restoration work brought it back to life while preserving original features. The extended closure allowed modern amenities to be integrated without compromising the Art Deco design.
