The iconic ninth-floor restaurant of the Montreal Eaton’s Centre will reopen to the public by the end of the year.
The unique and exceptional space has been closed off since 1999 and was classified as a heritage landmark in August 2000.
Eaton’s opened its first store in Canada on Ste-Catherine Street in 1927. The 600-seat restaurant followed suit in 1931.
“The art deco of the ninth floor is quite unique, it’s an outstanding piece and it’s great that it once again will be alive,” said Heritage Montreal spokesperson Dinu Bumbaru.
French architect Jacques Carlu was inspired by naval forms, which gave the restaurant its ocean-liner style, known as “streamline moderne.”
“It was shaped after some of the great ocean liners of the Compagnie Trans-Atlantique,” Bumbaru said.
“They were doing the journey of Europe and North America. It’s remarkable,” he added.
The project will be carried out in collaboration with EVOQ Architecture, a firm specializing in heritage conservation.
