This chef-driven venue, occupying 19,000 square feet on the mall’s lower level, will host 13 permanent food stalls, two rotating pop-up stalls, a bar, and a café, providing seating for up to 300 guests.
Queen’s Cross is designed to cater to a diverse clientele, including shoppers, office workers, students, and downtown visitors, offering a range of globally-inspired cuisine. The food hall’s offerings range from quick bites to full meals, available for both dine-in and take-out. Here is a look at some of the featured food stalls:

Per the news release, the food hall’s design, by Solid Design Creative, draws inspiration from its proximity to the Queen subway station, emulating the dynamic atmosphere of a busy cosmopolitan train station.
Features like a split flap departure board, individual stall designs that reflect their culinary themes, and the ambiance of a streetside café enhance the dining experience.
Owned by the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan and managed by Cadillac Fairview, CF Toronto Eaton Centre is part of a network of 69 properties in Canada.
Queen’s Cross Food Hall will operate seven days a week, facilitating all-day dining and contributing to the vibrant culinary scene in Toronto.
