Introducing: Urban Eatery, the Eaton Centre’s new, disconcertingly Danish food court

1. First destination food court in the GTA? Yet another Anglo-centric comment. Why don’t you go to Pacific Mall or any of the Chinese food courts in Scarborough. Those have been destination food courts for people who actually know food for years.

2. @HPC: Let’s just say that there are a few more people around the Eaton Centre than near the places you describe, which are located far away in Car Land. But it’s just a food court. No need to start an ethnic conflict over this.

3. Pacific Mall definitely has a great food court – words I have never typed before – worth the drive if you have a car. It’s like a little piece of Hong Kong. No designer ambiance, but really authentic food and hubbub to match.

4. The designer of the dinning terrace aka food court is brillant!

5. 48 million. Good grief. Wasn’t the old, ugly food court making bank?

   This is kinda similar to the look the new McDonalds are going for, no?

6. Madness! You would not find me eating out of those plates or knifes… good grief! the centre has so many street people and shady people… yuk! Th eonly good thing is that it employs so much more people as you have to think how many plain clothes security officers they have to spy on who is stealing the dinnerware!

7. The photos looked good until I saw the Bourbon St. Grill (Americans know it as Kelly’s Cajun Grill — the “bourbon chicken samples” people) which is hands down the worst fast food chain in history.

   For those who haven’t noticed, they serve junk Chinese crap passing itself off as Cajun, and people actually line up for it. Boggles the mind. Why not serve sushi at the Mexican booth and BBQ pork ribs at the Halal or vegan booth while they’re at it? That would be just as authentic as putting Cajun names over Manchu Wok crap.

8. Congratulations IKEA for your newest E X P A N S I O N!

   LAME!

9. Looks like a food court I would actually want to eat in – well done! And finally an vegetarian option in a food court, progress!

10. shut your hole, Francois, I don’t think HPC was making this some kind of ethnic war, just that it’s been done. as for your snootiness about there being a larger population around eaton ctr, who said that had anything to do with it? what kind of deflection/argument is that?

11. $48 mill for this?? Is there a doorman as well?

12. Profits with undertone of class war.

    A swankier place allows mall to charge more rent from the restos, who then charge mall-goers in turn. Also pays for more security folks, further deterring bums and kids.

    Exclude baseball cap & backpack hi-school kids in favour of richer 20-30 somethings (who attract upscale chains to mall). After all, if you don’t shop and just mill about, ur just hanging out at the food court leaving chewed gum on the expensive new chairs.

    Hey, Eaton Centre’s investors need solid investment returns since the world’s gotten more expensive (thanks to swankier malls).

    Sorry for my cynicism. What’s food got to do with this?

13. @hmph: “Shut your hole”? I would answer your questions if you had asked them in a civilized manner.

14. Hey Tex,

    Your anger and hostility is alarming. So tired of seeing your childish and meaningless rants on every board you can find. Get a life!!

15. I was at Eaton Centre the other night and noticed the south end food court and retail section was shut down. I’m not a big fan of food courts in general. I decided to go check out the new digs. It’s modern – sleek – great high ceilings and space which the old location didn’t have. PLUS… it’s on a level down below the lowest level of stores so it’s kind of isolated from shopping. Congrats Cadillac Fairview for the reno – much needed. There will always be whiners leaving comments… let them eat cake.

16. Pacific Mall?! I wouldn’t put that crap in my mouth even if someone paid me to do so.
