Review from Laura C.
Toronto, ON
Although there is one in Toronto, this one is much different. Its has a modern feel, and its clean and bright.
Families come here as well as kids, I came with my mom and felt comfortable.
Its not the same in Toronto Eaton Centre, even though they are both in a central downtown area. I mean, Eatons Montreal is across from Super Sexe! But doesn't seem like the crowded place Toronto is.
However, this was Sunday afternoon on a cold (minus 16) winters day. Maybe no one wants to come out.
During the weekdays its full of suits and people working nearby. I used to work around here and it was a great distraction, and lunch in the food court there was tons of choice!
Low ceilings in the middle of the food court, but if you sit near the edge there are high ceilings that make you feel like you are not sitting in a basement
Stores here are usually chains but the occasional local brands.
On the 4th floor is a great sandwich place.
On the bottom floor is a tunnel that leads you to the Metro and Place Ville Marie and connected to the path.
You can also get to Les Ailes and probably even further.
To be honest I spent more time in Les Ailes and Ville Marie rather than shopping here. But this has a better food court.Listed in: FEB 2012 - 30 days non food…, Montreal!

Review from Crystal Z.
Are you kidding me?
There's shopping.
Then there's shopping in Montreal.
Then there's shopping at the Eaton Centre. There's nothing like it. Levels upon levels of awesomeness, deals, hockey swag, Montreal-only boutiques... it's a tourists dream -- heck, it's a local's dream! And you can't get past the novelty that it's UNDERGROUND.
Just go. Stop reading this and just go.
Oh, and pick up a Poutine while you're down there.
You're welcome, Yelpers.Listed in: Born to Shop

Review from Kevin M.
It's a mall. One Big A$$ mall with 4 levels of shopping. It boasts having Canada's largest food-court selection, and as others have mentioned: it's part of the underground city.

Review from Wally W.
Love the upscale mall right in downtown Montreal. I didn't stay here long, but from what I saw, it's above average.
There's also free Wi-Fi on the lowest level. -
Review from Denis K.
A huge underground mall, which makes sense considering how frigid Montreal gets in the winter. Lots and lots of shopping to be had with plenty of restaurants and movie theaters. In fact, one of my places to eat, Marche', is here - which unfortunately seems to have closed (first Boston and now Montreal?). The Eaton Centre also connects to the Underground City, which is worth seeing itself too.

Review from Loree B.
This is only a CHIP off the big block that is the Underground City. In just this part I got lost a few times. It's beautiful. It's huge (3 or 4 stories?). It's fun. It's busy. Everything you need is right here- from furniture to salons to clothes to fast food to the drug store...not to mention the metro and train stations.
A couple place I hit up when I was there was Garage, Urban Behavior (love this place!), and Capsule Sportive. It's so much better than the malls we have in the US. If you don't know your way around, one minute you're on one end of the city, the next you climb to the street and realize you are clear across town....We need one of these here.Listed in: Bonjour, Montreal!

Hands down the best city to shop in Canada.

Review from Amy S.
Its a mall. But for a mall its A-OK. A bit difficult to recognize as a mall from above ground, this is one of the stops in the Underground City and I can see how it could be popular during the frigid, Canadian winters.
The shops are pretty standard mall fare but it is nice to have them all in one place when you're on a shopping mission. I was able to find pretty much all the gifts that I wanted to take back to the States with me in a minimum of time.Listed in: Montreal

Review from Hilary G.
Preface: Autumn 2008
The business model of a mall is smart; it lends itself nicely to a cosmopolitan shopping experience. If you find yourself in another land, a mall will have the creature comforts you remember seeing from back home: retail stores, a food court, jewelry shops. If you have traveled away from your town and get homesick, you can sample the new and familiar in an insulated environment. I watched a matinee in stadium seats, tried Lebanese food for the first time, and found myself at the mercy of a typical retail experience, witnessing a woman trip over herself trying to sell my companion a jacket he was not intending to buy. Nothing sounds more convincing the more times you say it, despite how French the pleas sound in the resounding repetition.
As hard as this place was to find from above ground, I kind of wished we'd taken public transportation. This place had its own T-stop. Visited on a rainy Saturday, the perfect place for bad weather: you won't get wet here, you'll stay warm and dry-and it's a great way to pass the time before going out for the evening. -
Review from Andy H.
I was stuck in my hotel in February 2007 with minus 30 degree weather(yes I visited Montreal in Feb). So I walked downstairs and took an escalator to the Underground City. I walked a few miles and came across Eaton Centre. It was a very clean and nice mall. Plenty of shopping and dining inside this main mall of Montreal.

Review from Tony S.
Toronto, ON
For everyone who is floored by the size of this mall, I'm guessing you've never been to the Toronto Eaton Centre that - according to the way you describe this weak excuse for a 'huge' mall - would just literally drop your jaw. This mall was weak and not worth even checking out as a tourist. Unless you live in a small city without the luxuries afforded to us Torontonians than check it out... otherwise just go there if you want to do some shopping and for no real tourist value. Yorkdale makes this mall look like a joke...

Review from Sarah A.
Huge place with tons of great shopping including most of the same chain stores you see in the US. There is also a Starbucks here and an extensive food court. It's easy to get lost in here but it's a fun place to pass the time.
