Lunching with Lady Eaton

Transport yourself to the golden age of Toronto retail at The Carlu on May 17, 2026. This isn't just a meal; it's a full immersion into the history of Eaton’s College Street, once the beating heart of the city's shopping scene.

The menu features classic Eaton’s recipes, offering a rare chance to taste the dishes that defined a generation of Toronto dining.

More Than a Meal Beyond the culinary experience, the event features a vintage fashion show showcasing the styles that graced the floors of Eaton’s during its heyday. Between courses, enjoy live music that captures the atmosphere of the Round Room's original era, and gain deeper insights into the legacy of Flora McCrea Eaton—Lady Eaton herself—and the profound impact the department store had on the city's social and commercial fabric.
