Food markets have journalists excited
CBC tells us what to expect at the new gourmet food courts, in this case specifically the Time Out market at the Eaton Centre, which opened this week and evidently invited a lot of journalists to come take a look, at least on the anglo side: I’m not seeing the same excitement in francophone media. The food market has a website.
Eater also has a look at it.

I took a walk through the new food court on St-Laurent at Ste-Catherine. It’s pretty cramped and the prices seem high for small amounts of food (as was discussed here awhile ago) but there were lots of people there at lunch time and some of the food looked pretty good. It’s unfortunate that they put it on the ground floor as it really deadens what was once a vibrant corner and there’s really nothing at street level for half the block (except Cleopatra). It looks like the windows are designed to open in the summer so it might be better then but food courts seem to be better suited for basements or, for a gourmet one like this, the upper floors (so they can get some light).

I ended up going last night, it was very packed but that’s probably first night stuff. I went to Burger T and it’s a bit expensive, but the burger was indeed delicious. All the menus looked nice, honestly, and it’s definitely better than the food court options were.

Also, I was surprised that it’s in the old Eaton’s building, which I guess was re-annexed to the Eaton Centre?

They’re merging the Eaton’s Centre and the Complexe Les Ailes and applying the Eaton’s name to both.
