The Montréal Eaton Centre, also known as the Eaton Centre, is getting ready to revitalize its food court in downtown Montréal, located at 705 Saint-Catherine Street West.
Centre Eaton de Montréal, owned by Ivanhoé Cambridge, announced at the beginning of the year that it would be revitalizing its food court, according to a press release. This ambitious transformation, set to incorporate the latest trends in design and customer experience, will be unveiled in Fall 2026. Complementing Time Out Market and Le Restaurant du 9e, this new project will enhance the culinary offerings of the Centre Eaton de Montréal, solidifying its position as a key destination for food enthusiasts.
This newly reimagined food court promises a unique, welcoming, and warm dining experience. Visitors will enjoy a diverse selection of food concepts, blending well-known brands with new-to-Canada eateries, positioning the Centre Eaton de Montréal as a must-visit destination for fast casual dining. Located at the tunnel level, this area will also undergo a significant rejuvenation.
“By reimagining the Centre Eaton de Montréal food court, we are stimulating the customer experience and strengthening its role as a key destination in the city’s commercial and cultural landscape,” Annie Houle, Managing Director, Real Estate – Canada, CDPQ/Ivanhoé Cambridge, said in a press release. “This project represents a new phase in our plan to invest in our Québec flagship properties and enhance the urban experience at the heart of the city.”
The new food court will enhance the customer experience and showcase Montréal’s cultural and urban identity through innovative and sustainable design. The space will be designed to encourage meal breaks and gatherings among colleagues, friends, or families, offering a welcoming and stimulating environment. A strategic three-phase rollout will allow current retailers to continue operating during the renovations, ensuring a smooth transition and uninterrupted customer experience. The commercial real estate company, JLL, will manage the project.
“The revitalization of the Centre Eaton de Montréal food court illustrates the dynamic evolution of our downtown commercial real estate landscape and redefines the standards of excellence,” Johanne Marcotte, Executive Vice President, Portfolio Management, Retail, at JLL, said in a press release. “Projects of this scale require deep expertise in property management and commercial development—areas in which JLL has been a leader for many years.”
