"To eating" is the correct answer.
When using "looking forward to", we follow it with a [verb]-ing.
Edit: We can also follow "looking forward to" with a noun.
Example: I'm looking forward to dinner.

If it's followed by a verb. For instance, the following is normal: I was looking forward to your visit. Aug 31, 2019 at 23:19

That's exactly my point. Your answer doesn't say that you can follow looking forward to with a noun. But you can. As your answer stands, it implies that only a verb (using the present participle) can follow it. Sep 1, 2019 at 2:59
